If the Republican Party had
adopted its resolution rejecting iso-
ltaionism after World War 1 and
permitted the United States to
join the League of Nations three
would have been no World War II.
The United States is now paying
fearfully because Woodrow Wilson
was refused permission to join the
League in a "World-cooperation"
movement after the war of %
years ago. - (The Paoli News).

DICTATOR'S JOB


The Job Of wartime price control
Ter may be one of the most difficult
in the State. Already there have
been countless cases Of gasoline
boOtlegging in New York. The
job of the o. P. A. is to cut out
this bootlegging, prevent price
gouging on sugar shoes, coffee and
one hundred other vital household
necessities. Therefore, the job
can be administered with tyranni-
cal zeal or with slipshod inefficien-
cies. 1t has all the makings of be-
coming another N. R. A. - If pa
triotic public-spirited citizens do
not do their share.
SO far, Mccormick seems to be
avoiding the pitfalls experienced
in other states.
According to present plans there
will be 81 county boards to admin
lister prices in Maryland, includ-
ing five in Baltimore Under these
boards and the Baltimore head
quarters office, there will be en-
ployed fifty inspectors in the legal
divisions, about 20 surveyors in
the price division and ten rationing
ConsultantS.
In engaging all this personnel,
the State o. P A. will attempt to
select local people familiar with
local problems, but who can qualify
under civil service.
So if there is any squawk from
Senators and Congressman under
"a set-up like this, it will be no
more than the usual peeve display
ed when one Congressman is un-
successful in obtaining a job for
friend. Certainly, Mccormick
seems to be making a conscientious
start in a difficult role.

Those who have sifted carefully
the insurance row between Harry
F.. Klinefelter and Tommy D'Ales-
andre are veering to the opinion
that Klinefelter was right. The
issue involved was the fact that
D'Alesandro had taken into his in
surance firm the famous Jack Pol

Circuit Court Of Appeals as having
a "seamy police record and six
teen convictions on the Baltimore

Truth and Test

The man who does
The best he can,
Is just the best
Kind of q man.
He need not fear
Of going wrong.
Or ears made deaf
To any song.
He'll see the good
Along the way,
The sun of right,
Will light each day.
He'll see the clouds
Part for the sun,
To show the good
That he has done.
He'll never want
OF what belongs
To those who sing
The sweetest songs.
He'll glady give,
To those who do,
A rich reward
For what is true.
God help the man
Who does his best
In meeting tasks
With truth and Zest.

of any universally used commodity
in American history. To many,
that pound per person, every other
week looked like a tremendous
hardship when the amount Of the
ration was first announced.
After seven weeks, which may
be considered a fair test period,
the general opinion seems to be
that the sugar ration is ample.
Of course, the housewife is a
little less liberal with her cake ic-
ing. And the unstirred sugar in
a cup of coffee has pretty we'll dis
appeared from the American scene
but sugar ratiOning, all sides con-
sidered, seems to have been taken
in stride by the American public.
If the housewife needs additional
sugar for canning. she will receive
reasonable amounts by making ap-
plicatiOn to her local ration board
The government wants as much
food as possible to be prepared by
home canning this year.
You'll be expected to pack your
fruits in light syrups however and
be as thrifty with your canning SUI
gar as you have with your normal
sugar ration.
The consensus Of opinion. before
rationing, seemed to be that the
American public could not be
taught the value of thrift. Moth
ing has proven more wrong than
this assumption. The American
public has been magnificent in
its first rationing test.
*###*
Housewives. who remmeber the
sugar situation during the World
War, shudder at the thought of
how its price scared to as much as
30 cents a pound. It's price today
- six to seven cents - will re-
main at that figure as OPA has
placed a ceiling on this and other
foods.
Groceries, household sundries,
many meats, tobacco, certain drugs
and toiletries, most clothing items.
yard goods. footwear, household
furniture, appliances and furnish
ings, ice, fuel and automobile sup
plies and number of hardware
and agriculture items may not ex-
ceed the highest price they sold
for in March.
This retail price ceiling has
been in effect since May IS. 1t is
broad attempt on the part of
your government to protect your
standard of living.
Rents, too, have had a ceiling
placed on them.
Price control regulations call for
the posting of ceiling prices by
your merchant. Reports indicate
that a number have not yet COM
piled, pleading inability to COM
plete their listings.
#####
This week in Philadelphia, more
than 200 OPA inspectors began a
check of 1900 stores in that city
From this check, OPA hopes to
make price posting uniform
practice. OPA, as yet, has not felt
that merchants should be penaliz-
ed Off failure to post prices. After
inspectors have visited stores and
explained the posting practice,
OPA will act unless ceiling prices
above which figure prices may
not rise are placed into effect
and properly posted.
Stores, which carry only a COM
paratively few items, have had ade-
quate time to meet the provisions
of the price ceiling regulations.

most speed. Several oil pipelines
which previously moved gasoline
and fuel oil inland from tanker
ports are. now having their flow
reversed.
The problem is transportational,
but even where stocks are ample,
your government, knowing that
rubber will not be available for ci-
william uses for perhaps as long as
two years, wants motorists to
eliminate non-essential driving.
The new gasoline rationing plan
works very much like sugar ra-
tioning.
On filling out a simple form and
presenting your registration card
times and places will be announced
later - you will receive an ga"
book. If you have q motorcycle,
you will receive a "D" book.
The "a" book will contain 4S
units. These are expected to last
a year. The number of gallons per
unit is still to be announced.
AS with your sugar ration book,
your new gasoline book will con-
tain coupons. These will be de-
tached by the filling station and
passed on to the distributor. The
distributor will deliver to the sta
tion only the amount of gasoline
called for by the coupons the sta
tion turns in.
The new plan eliminates any
leakage" or evasion of rationing
from the refinery to your cars gas
tank.
What if you need more gasoline
after the "a" books coupons are
gone? This calls for the filing of
supplementary application. The
car owner will have to prove that
an "a" book provides insufficient
gasoline to carry his work.
If other transportation is not
available and if he is doubling up
with some other owner or rotating
the use of cars. a ''B" book will
be issued. This contains Is cou-
pons and must last three months.
If the "B" book contains more
coupons than is required for three
months of essential driving, the
three month period will be extend
ed by marking an advanced date on
the book.
sc" books will be issued on the
exhaustion Of GA" books by per
sons engaged in medical care, pub
lie utility maintenance carrying
farm labor, giving religious com
fort or making trips on official gov
ernment business.
Only trips authorized by any
federal, state, local or foreign gov
ernment for their employees will be
considered official.
The &c" book will contain nine
ty-six coupons. Coupons will be
removed to provide the exact mile
age required.
Trucks, buses and taxis will re-
ceive gasoline only on the presen-
tation of an IS" book. Non-high,
way users, including boat own
ers, will receive "E" or "R" books
Local ration boards have now
been given the power to call in
holders of gasoline ration cards
for personal questioning to deter
mine whether the card was obtain
ed by mistake or fraud. Many
boards are now checking all "X''
card holders.
AS in the case with gasoline
there will be difficulty next winter
in obtaining as much fuel oil as

I turned. to him and said. How can

Another time pitch was little
close and I had to- back away On
the next play I hit TO the first

to take the throw AS we passed
each other after the play he said:
