Tome School Cor
poration Passes

George w. Morrison, Of Port De-
posit, announces the dissolution of
the Tome School Corporation, alum
nj group which operated the Tome
School between 1888 and June 1941.
The action, he said, will not affect
operation Of the Jacob Tome Insti-
tute which runs the town schools In
Port Deposits:
The board operated the hill prop
critics of the institute for two years
in an attempt to bring that school
out of the money-losing slump into
which 1t had fallen during the de-
preston. The venture, however, was
not a financial success, it is report
ed.
Although dissolution of the board
was not decided upon until recently,
control of the hill school properties
reverted to the institute on June 80,
and the school has not been open
since.
Dissolution of the board will be
effected through the State Tax Com
mission of Maryland.
No plan for disposition or future
use of the hill school has been an
nounced by the institute.

Governors New
Year Greeting

In addressing to all the people of
my personal and official wishes for a
Happy and Prosperous New Year, /
have definitely in mind conditions
that face us at this moment as citi-
zens of Maryland of the United
States.
1912 will be a trying year for all
of us. There will be sacrifices to be
made, and there will be sorrow for
some, the members of whose fam
lilies are called upon to suffer in the
defense Of their country.
To all, however, can only express
the necessity for our united coop
Grafton towards the defeat of the ag-
gressor nations. BY such united ac-
ton alone can we hope to defend our
American rights, and to end as
quickly as possible the threats now
being made against our national and
individual security.
There will be satisfaction for all
OF us in the complete performance Of
our duties as citizens of this grand
Democracy. Let us face the New
Year, therefore, with confidence in
our Maker and in the ultimate VIC
tory of decency over aggression. May
the end Of 1912 find us at peace
again.
HERBERT r. o'CONOR,
Governor

all our adult population, can never
be predicated ON the basis that they
mustn't interfere too seriously with
present business activities--unless,
in word, we can come to accept
the realization that we, as a nation.
are in mighty tough spot for which
we are by no means adequately pre-
pared, we will never be able to
buckle down with the determination
and the spirit of resolve that the
times and our precarious military
situation demand.

workers gear themselves to the full
est possible use Of all production
facilities, to turn out all the planes
that will be necessary to insure US
prompt and complete mastery of the

dismiss once and for all the thought
Of strikes and shut-downs to gain
their own ends; until the people of
our State and of all the other states
of this Union accept the fact conclu-
sively that the defense duties asked
Of them must not be accetped half
heartedly, or on convenience bas-
