Rural Women's Course
AT N. j. Is Discontinued

The annual five-day rural wom-
ems short course of the University
of Maryland will not be held this
summer and two-day homemakers
council will be held instead, it was
announced today by Miss Venia
M. Kellar, assistant director of the
university's extension service.
The move has been made neces-
sary because of the labor situation
on the farms, making it impossible
for many women to leave home al
this time, Miss Kellar said. The
shortage of tires and gasolines were
also given as reasons why some
rural women would be unable to
attend.
1t Is planned to resume the reg
ular short course next year or as
soon as conditions will allow, Miss
Kellar said.

A statement adopted by the con-

Control of the daily press by

frequent anti-labor attitudes.

prosecution of the war and convert
itself into a war industry which will
be dedicated to the defeat of the

Virginia Expressions
Generally Favorable,
Maryland Not

War Department plans for repos-
session Of Springfield and Enfield
rifles now in use by civilian and
State Guards today met with both
Endorsement and opposition by
Maryland and Virginia protective
force officials.
Maj. Caesar L. Aiello Of Hyatts-
vile, commander of the 9Th Bat
talon of the Maryland State Guard,
said he doesn't think much of" the
plans.
I'VE have received no official order
about it," he said. "I think that it
might be similar to the proposal that
Federal employees were not to be al
lowed to be State Guardsmen, a
plan which later was practically re-
scinded.
I'VE are not only combat but an
apprehensive force. II we are equip
ped only with shotguns, our efi-
cheney will be materially diminished.
Well be on par with the Minute
Men in the State"
About 5000 Guards in State.
There are approximately 5000
Maryland State Guardsmen, Mai.
Aiello said. They are equipped with
1917 Enfields, in good condition.
But the major doubts that they'll
lose them.
Somebody's gone haywire," he
said.
1t. Col. e. Brooke Lee Of Silver
Spring, commanding officer of the
7th Battalion, Maryland State
Guard, said he had no comment to
make at this time.
Gov. Darden of Virginia said that
the State would cooperate fully
with the Federal Government in
plans to repossess rifles, the Asso-
ciated Press reported.
The Governor added some hope
had been expressed by Virginia au-
thorities that Seaboard States might
keep the rifles for the State Guard.
but that such exceptions appeared
doubtful.
Shotguns Declared Sufficient.
Under the War Department plans
State Guards would use shotguns,
which would fully meet their arms
requirements"
At his home in Emporia, Brig.
Gen. E. e. Goodwin, head of the
Virginia Protective Force, said he
had hoped that an exception could
be made for Virginia because the
State 'is very vulnerable" and be-
cause I'VE have a wen-organized
force, partially equipped for field
service"
The War Department said it was
repossessing more than $4,000 rifles,
and indicated that none of the re-
called weapons were for use by the
United States Army forces which
are armed with the new automatic
Garand. An appeal was made to
sportsmen who own 1903 model
Springfields or 1917 Enfields to turn
these over to the Army If IN condi-
tion for military use.
Maj. Everett A. Hellmuth of Alex
andria, executive officer of the 18th
Battalion, Virginia Protective Force,
declared: IF the War Department
thinks we should get along with
shotgums, they're the sole judges"
