would mean full retaliation of de-
mocracy in terms of economic Sc
curity and equal opportunity for all.
.We want sober world in which
liquor can no longer hold man back
from the full mental, physical, and
spiritual accomplishments of which
he is capable.
1--WE want peaceful world in
which all governments cooperate
in promoting the welfare Of all ma
tons"
Expressing youths gratitude for
the opportunity to live in the Ameri-
can atmosphere of democracy, Miss
Cooper added: ''But, for the future,
it must be better, stronger Ameri-
ca. We must slough away the hab-
its and customs which sap brain
power and moral resistance"
She outlined the present job of
the Youths Temperance Council as
''helping make America strong
within by building in youth an atti-
tude of personal discipline and So
cial responsibility"
She urged youth to accelerate self
discussion, self-education, and self
action on such "acute war problems
as health, safety, delinquency, and
national waste"
In addition, she recommended that
young people:
Cooperate with the churches and
the USO in providing clean,. whole
some recreation around military
camps.
Become a stabilizing influence In
the community and counteract war
time license by engaging other
young people in constructive ac-
tivity.
Prepare to work closely with the
Christian church as way of assist
ing reconstruction Of the postwar
world, uniting the goals of peace
and sobriety.

TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS DECREASE

Deaths from traffic accidents in
Maryland in June were Is less than

Goveror Herbert r. O'Conor was in

Traffic Safety Commission. Against
a 1941 total of 6 in Baltimore City
and At in the counties, So in all,
there were only II deaths in the
counties this year and IL in Balti-

That the decrease in fatal acct
dents is continuing is evidenced by
the figures for July LIST to 20th, the
Governor made known. In these first
20 days of the month there were
only 9 deaths throughout the State
in traffic accidens, as against 28
deaths in the same 20 days in July.

In commenting upon the report,
Governor O'Conor declared: while
undoubtedly a great deal of the
decrease is due to the lessened num-

fact that motorists generally are

FEED NOW TO GET MILK THRU
SUMMER AND FALL

Feed your cows well during this
hot summer weather. Feed in the
barn, IL necessary, to overcome
the effects of short pastures. This is
necessary in order to produce the
milk that your market needs now
and will need during the summer,
fall and, perhaps early winter,
too.
Prospects are that milk will be
short and that prices will show
strength during this entire period.
The good COW, well fed, is the
one which returns profit to her
owner. Feed each COW according to
her ability to produce. Keep her in
condition
Remember that when we see a
hollow sided COW we usually see q
practically empty milk pail when we
finish milking.
And, don't forget the dry COW
How she produces after freshening
depends directly upon her condition
when she freshens and good con.
dition requires feeding during the
dry period,

GOVERNOR ORDERS STATE DE-
PARTMENT TO SAVE

Governor O'Conor again this year
is requesting the various State De-
partments to conserve their balances
in view of the national emergency.
The Governor said in addressing a
memorandum to Department Heads:
SIN line with the precedent estab-
lished several years ago, l am again
issuing this request to the heads of
the State Agencies to conserve their
unspent departmental balances dur
ing these final two months of the
fiscal year. l am determined to
economic wherever possible, so
that we can reduce the cost of gov
eminent
AS the result of such an appeal
to the department heads last year,
a grand total of $1,102,9S5.OO was
returned to the State Treasury by
the various departments. In the
previous years of our administra-
saved at the end of each fiscal year
from the annual appropriations.
This splendid cooperation by the
spending authorities of the State
enabled the administration to end
the last fiscal year with consider
able surplus, and real estate taxes
were reduced 40%.
1t is desirable again at this time
that our policy respecting this mat
ter be indicated to heads of all
State Agencies for their guidance.
Attention is called to the provision
of the budget law which says, ANY
unexpended balance of such appro-
priation, against which there will
be no outstanding obligations at
the end of the fiscal year, except
balance from sources dedicated by
any act of Congress or by laws of
the State to some specific purpose
or purposes, shall revert to the Gen
eral Treasury of the State at the
end of the fiscal year" 1t is the OBJ
vious intention of the law that all
unobligated balances be returned to
the State Treasury.
Our State is in sound financial
position, our budget is balanced,
our reserves sufficient and our bonds
are held in high regard by the in
vestigating public. The times, how
ever, require the utmost prudence,
caution and economy in the admin
stration of government fiscal affairs,
and every financial resource of the
State must be conserved.
I know that I shall have your
complete cooperation in making
effective the policies herein indi-
Gated"

with tire relief in sight, not for

transportation, the motorists would
contribute much more scrap rubber

small amount of crude and a GER

RUBBER INDUSTRY PROGRAM

Prompt government action on
the rubber industry's program call
ing for supplying Americas motor
vehicles with enough tires and re-
caps to keep them rolling for a
two-year period on limited mileage
basis has beeen urged by the Amer
lean Automobile Association, accord
ing to an announcement by c. M.
Falconer, President of the Automo-
bile Club of Maryland and National
Director of the A. A. A.
In letter to Donald M. Nelson,
Chairman of the War Production
Board, Thos. P. Henry of Detroit,
Michigan, President of the national
motoring body, called upon the
Board to give the rubber industry's
program the most serious consid-
Grafton and to reach decision at
the earliest possible moment.
I'VE hope that after a study of
all the factors involved, the Board
will approve of the plan and thus
clear the way to put it into opera
ton as speedily as possible" the A.
A. A. letter said. 1t continued:
Support for the program must
necessarily be predicted first and
foremost on the extent to which
military exigencies make diversion
of materials possible. The synthetic
portion of the plan does not impinge
upon the Governments 8O0,0O0-tor
program which is definitely ear
marked for military purposes and
essential civilian needs. The amount
of reclaimed rubber and crude rub
Der involved does not appear large
considering the importance of the
objective.
Approval of the program would
do several things: First, it would
give the best possible assuranc,
that more than 20,0OO,000 passen
ger cars, the lowest number nov
deemed necessary for an adequat,
war transportation system and TO
the maintenance of the civilian
economy, actually would be kept ii
continuous operation.
Second, it would be long stel
toward convincing the sorely-bese
motorists of the country that tn
Government is doing something now
and something practical, to allie
viate the tire situation: It woul,
furnish strong incentive for ma
tjonwide acceptance OF o 40-mil

U. s. WILL BE AXIS CHIEF FOE
GOVERNOR O'CONOR ASSERTS

In radio address delivered over
Station VIDAL on Sunday, Cover
nor O'Conor spoke to the people of
Maryland on the war. The Chief Ex-
ecutive asserted that the United
States will eventually emerge VIC
trious after having attained the
position of the principal foe of the
Axis powers.
"Frankness", he said, "compels
the admission that our side has been
losing the war to date" The next
ninety days, he added, possibly will
be the most critical in the worlds
history.
The United States won't lose the
war, he said, because it is impos--
sible to think that the American
spirit can be killed"
The next ninety days will be vital,
the Governor said, because upon
what Germany accomplishes during
these three months may depend, to
great extent, the final outcome of
the war. And, what the United States
can do during this period may well
determine the extent of Germany's
achievements. When grim winter
begins to close down upon the Rus
sian steppes, then the free people
of the world will know their future.
''These next three months in
Europe will determine whether
America will face a war of years, or
can hope for a victorious peace at
an earlier date. If America and the
Unitd Nations are to escape the
tragedy of a long-drawn out con-
flict, that escape must be effected
before the Germans have won their
way to a winter haven where they
can prepare for long period of
misery for the world.
There must be--and there will
be--a second front. America has
never depended upon other nations
to settle her issues. The offensive
will be taken by the United States in
Europe so that Hitler and his kind
will know that there can be two
parties to fight"
The Governor insisted that the
United States has a fraternal con-
nection ordained by God with all
Liberty-loving peeole everywhere in
the world"
Every State in the Union has
been pressing to the utmost to meet
the responsibilities resulting from
the war, especially Maryland, he
said. He pointed out that the Mary
land Council of Defense has func-
toned uninterruptedly since a year
and a half before Pearl Harbor.
"'Today, under the banner of
civilian defense, more than $4,000
volunteers are enrolled" the Gov
ernor continued. Training has been
given in such important roles as
afraid wardens, air spoilers, auxil-
larry firemen and police, medical and
first-aid personnel.
/. "Maryland's military forces also
are in first-class shape. The State
Guard, composed .of almost 5000
well-trained men, is our first line of
of defense. After inspection by the
War Department, this Maryland or
ganization has been placed at the
very head of State Guard units on
the basis of training, discipline and
efficiency.
Next are the Maryland Minute
Men, 10000 strong. In every sec
ton of the State these volunteers
will be available for the protection
