 MAINTENANCE MEN
 BUSY ON HIGHWAY

The recent snowstorms and vio- lent winds have kept the Public Roads Administration mainten- ance crews working steadily, day and night, for the past four days in order to keep the Glacier High way open to traffic, and the air port cleared, District Engineer M. D. Williams reported today.
 All available snow removal equip ment has been thrown into serv- ice, including new huge snow blow, adding a heavy burden to the work of the FRA crew. AL though improvement work on the road has been abandoned for the winter, maintenance crews will be busy all the while.

 Sends Bullet;
 Hunth Given
By MARGARET KERNODLE Wide World Features Writer

| WASHINGTON.-Already womer who request appointments for hair dos in capital beauty salons are being asked to bring their owr, hairpins. Some of them don't like it. That's why I asked WIPE just what hairpin conservation can mean to a country at war. Here's the WIPE answer to Miss and Mrs. America:
 Every time one of us refuses to buy a package of hairpins, we save the same amount of steel it takes to make a 50 caliber bullet WIPE and the Army agree that 140,000,000 cards or packages of pins Chats the amount we wo- men brought in 194D contain metal equal in weight to the steel required for 14O,Oo0,0Oo bullets.
 WIPE order L-104 restricts the manufacture of hairpins to one fourth that many for next year. Production of hairpins already is down 50 percent since April. It begins to look as though we must conserve pins carefully if we want to keep our hair up.
 Next year the curtailment will save 5,700 tons of steel That is the exact weight of steel it takes to make 150 medium tanks. Saving hairpins begins to look like sav- ing our skins-the more so when

Maryland Disti||eries
Devote Two-Thirds
OF Product 10 War
TotoI Output Will Go
To Government Before
Year Ends, Survey Shows
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, May 29.-A survey
showed today two-thirds of the
Statss dixtjlling facilities were con-
nected directly or indirectly with the
war effort.
Donald Hammond, secretary of
the Association of Maryland Dis
tillers and Allied Industries, said the
survey indicated also that the total
output of the Maryland plants would
be going to the Government before
the year is over.
A War Production Board spokes-
man said this week a 80 per cent
cut in production of hard liquor
throughout the Nation was planned
this year.
Most Produce High Wines"
Only three Maryland distilleries,
Mr.. Hammond explained, produced
100 proof alcohol in considerable
quantity. The others turn out only
high wines" a lower proof alco-
holic content of whisky. Before this
high wine" is suitable for war uses
it must be converted into high proof
alcohol.
An official of the Calvert Distil-
leries, the States largest, said that
not a single drop of alcohol being
turned out at the company's plant
was going into whisky bottles. Half
the factory's output is high-proof
alcohol and is going directly to the
Government. The remainder is
shipped to conversion plants.
Last year, Maryland plants dis
titled 12,456,494 gallons of whisky.
No Extensive Changes.
No extensive changes were planned
by Maryland distilleries to increase
their high proof alcohol output. Mr..
Hammond continued Some piping
and other work would be done to
improve storage facilities, the spokes-
man said, but none would require
use Of critical materials.
The producers of high Wines" it
was said, felt confident the industry
could handle the conversion to high
proof alcohol.
The association said reports showed
58,872,62l gallons of whisky in Mary
land warehouses April 80 At the
1941 rate of sales, this is a supply
sufnc1ent for six years.

RICHMOND, Va, May IA
South Carolinian who has the fea-
lures, the drawl and even some Of
the mannerisms Of the late VIII
Rogers, is the field marshal Of Vir-
ginia's civilian defense army" of
some 220, 1000 volunteers.
Joseph H. Wyse, as State civilian
defense co-ordinator, has a big job
to handle, but visitors streaming
into his Office find an unruf1ed,
bespectacled fellow calmly pulling
on his pipe, apparently as serene as
church music.
AS Gov. Darden's chief of staff"
in civilian defense matters, Mr..
Wyse has supervision over the ac-
tivities of the huge organization Of
volunteers, of whom about 10000
have taken training for special
types of work and over LAG separate
defense councils.
His Hardest Job.
I'm enjoying it, but it's, the
hardest work ever did," he says.
Only one member of his Office
staff who was there ]" t January
21 is still with him. ,.ier paying
jobs elsewhere have grabbed off
the rest-but the Office appears to
operate smoothly and without con-
fusion.
Mr.. Wyse was born in Newberry
County, S. c., in 1883, and after
attending the public schools went to
Clemson College for degree in
civil engineering.
He came to Virginia in 1904 as
rodman on a locating party of the
Virginian Railway and advanced to
chief of locating party and resi-
dent engineer. From 1908 to 1921
he was in the wholesale brokerage
and lumber business, but returned
to engineering work in 1921 as
Giles County road engineer.
Succeeded Anderson.
Mr.. Wyse went to Campbell
County as engineer in 1928 and
when the State took over the sec
ondary roads in 1882, he transferred
to the State Highway Department
as resident engineer. He served at
Halifax, Marion and Bedford be-
fore being loaned by the department
on January l, 1941, to the Virginia
Defense Council as assistant CO.
ordinator to James A. Anderson.
When Mr.. Anderson was ap-
pointed State highway commits
sioner in August, 194l, Mr.. Wyse
was made acting co-ordinator by
Gov. Price, and on February II,
1912, was appointed co-ordinator of
civilian defense by Gov. Darden.
He married Eleanor McNutt Peck
June Is, 1915. They have no children.
