It must be hoped also that
the President will be just as
firm in the effort to control
wages as he showed toward con-

figure which staggers the mag

A firm stand and firm hand
in this matter Of price and
wage control plus a "Work or
Fight9 edict will soon bear
fruit.
The President, his advisers
and members of Congress are
still tagging in recognition of
willingness of the American
public to accept any and all
regulations promulgated in the
interest of winning the war.

AS l see our present domestic
problem we need to put behind
us the following: Price and

strikes; a "Work or Fight"
edict; the new tax bill and the
November election. These ac-
complished, a "GO-SIGN" with
new meaning will be erected
in every section of America.

For Tome
School Property

Final settlement was made last
week by the U. S. Court in Baltimore
for the Tome School property at
Port Deposit being used by the U.
S. Navy for cambridge Naval Train
ing Station. A partial settlement of
S950,000 was made few weeks
ago when balance of $13,494.80
was left unpaid. This was due to the
fact that few small parcels were in
question. Since that time, the mat
ter has been settled to the satisfac-
tion of all parties concerned and
check was received last week for
$12,994.80. The price agreed upon
several months ago was $963,494.80
and this full amount was paid, less
$500. as settlement for the Abra-
hams property which was included
in the enclosure by the Navy De-
partment when the Tome School
property was fenced in.
Work on the naval station is pro-
crossing rapidly, several hundred
sailors having arrived this week and
each week additional recruits will
arrive until between 10000 and
10000 sailors will be trained at the
station regularly for active duty in
the navy.
