Nh Robertson pointed out that if
stamps are prematurely used by a
consumer, he may find himself in
need Of gasoline and with no coupons
with which to obtain it long before
the periods covered by these six cou-
pons have expired. Similarly "a deal
er who sells a substantial quantity
of gasoline now against Coupon No.
,, for example, may find that he is
unable to replenish his supply fully
before September % This, of. course,
would not only reduce his current
supply of gasoline, but would make
his replenishments short until the No.
2 coupons become valid, and therefore
the action would result in a shrinkage
of his total possible turnover. Since
a dealer in general should have no
in selling all Of his supply
against coupons during their valid
periods, he would not be acting in his
own interest if he transferred gaso-
line prematurely on coupons not yet
valid.
Consumers and dealer, therefore,
were urged by Mr.. Robertson to com
ply with the regulations, not only in
the interest Of effective rationing but
in their own personal interest; the
consumer by exchanging only the ap-
propriate coupon, and the dealer by
accepting only such coupons.

VIII Recommend Re-
duction Of Income Tax
Continued From Page u

CAT the last Legislature we reduced
the tax on earned income 20 per cent
and on unearned income 16 2-3 per
cent. Because of the fact that next
year and in the years Immediately
to follow, our citizens will be called
upon to pay much larger amounts in
Federal taxes, l am firmly of the be-
lief that they should receive the bene-
fit of State reductions especially
when the States splendid fiscal con-
dition justifies it
1--WE will have over S9,O00,OOO.OO
as a State surplus at the end of next
month when the fiscal year closes.
This unprecedented amount would
have been increased by $4,000,0OO.OO
if we were to take into account this
sum which was set aside to effect the
real estate reduction for both this
year and next year.
"Of the S9,0O0,O0O.00 Surplus a
working fund will, of course, have to
be maintained. Computations are al
ready being made to determine the
amount that should be set aside for
war emergencies and for salary ad-
iustments. Incidentally, it is crafty
ing to note that the unexpected costs
thrust upon the State for military OPP
erations since Pearl Harbor will be
more than offset by savings in the
various departments during the pres
ent fiscal year. Accordingly, there
will be no deficit from this quarter
despite the fact that we have been
compelled to lay out necessary a
mounts to protect vital installations
at the request of the War Depart
ment.

Fourteen counties experienced a
fatality free month-AIlegany, Caro-
line, Carroll, Charles, Dorchester,
Frederick, Garrett, Howard, Kent,
Queen Anne, Somerset, Talbot, Wi
comico and Worcester and
Kent counties reported no deaths or
injuries.
An analysis of the accident causes
in the 10000 cases reported this year
indicates that carelessness, inatten-
ton, and disregard for public SAT-
ETY., were the predominating factors.
The drivers involved in accidents are
those who have not become traffic
safety conscious; they continue to
drive at speeds that do not permit
them to stop in time to avoid an ac-
cident; they arbitrarily take the right
OF way; they pass other vehicles in
the face of opposing traffic; and COM
nit many other actions against com
mon sense and judgment
Governor O'Conor and the Mary
land Traffic Safety Commission have
appealed to the public using the
streets and highways on numerous
occasions to reduce their speeds to
40 m. p. h. ana under, and to exer-
else every caution in an effort to pre-
vent accidents, but in the face of
these requests more than 10000 ac-
cidents have occurred so far this year
in Maryland. Every accident causes
an economic loss which this country
cannot afford today. Every worker
injured slows down production-every
car damaged affects the war trans
portation.

The purpose Of the recruiting trip
is to enlist men in the Navy, parti-
cularly those men who have had ex-
perience in the small boat class on
the waters Of the Chesapeake Bay
and its tributaries. All men between
the ages of IT and so are eligible, pro
vided they can meet the physical re-
quirements. Recently the require
ments have been lowered and many
minor defects which would have for
merly kept a man out of the service
can now be overlooked.
Men are urged to visit the ship at

ing upon each mans qualifications.

The first port of call was Cape
Charles, Va, and It. BartheImess is
very pleased with the interest shown
thus far by the citizens of the Del
marva Peninsula. Sixteen men were
enlisted the first day for In-ShOre
Patrol service The itinerary calls
for stops at Onancock, Va, Salisbury,
Md, Cambridge, Md, and Chester
town, Md, arriving in Baltimore on
or about Sept. 4.
Never in all the history of our
country has the call for defenders of
freedom been so urgent as at this
moment. Brave men are needed
redblooded Americans men who
would rather fight to stay free than
live to be slaves. Skilled men who
know their jobs, patriots who love
their homes and country and will
serve it as true Americans should.

Montanas future wealth hinges
around the proper balance between
its livestock business and the crops
which it produces, H. J. Gramlich of
Chicago, secretary of the American
Shorthorn Breeders association. told
the convention in predicting a bright
future for the industry.
Itch said. Cattle and sheep are the
big consumers of grass. What would
grass be worth were it not for these
most useful domestic animals? What
would we do with our alfalfa hay, our
beet by-products. our silage and our
numerous other crops without live
stock?"
Tracing conditions following the last
war-boom days and crazy credit"
with resultant period of depression,
the speaker declared the present to
be fine time to stop. look and
listen"
If your income has been elevated.
do something which will tend to make
for permanence in your operations "
he advised. Improve the livestock
which you are breeding, build new
fences where needed. If you have water
supply problems which can be reme-
died, take care of them. Modernize the
home if possible and make it better
place in which to live"

Your Victory Garden


Most vegetable crops must be thinned
out in the early stages of growth. Ii
left until they attain some size it is
impossible to thin them without check
ing the growth of those that remain.
This does not apply to carrots and
beets, which may be thinned when
some are large enough to use. 1t is
the half-grown carrots that are most
delicious, and the growth is so much
more in length than in the diameter
of the root that the thinning process
does not disturb the others so much.
Turnips must be thinned before they
begin to form. The early turnips are
round and flat. They do not grow well
If crowded. If thinning is postponed
until the roots begin to form the
growth Of all Is checked and the raw
ages Of worms, which are always ready
to feed on turnips, are likely to be
fatal. If the young plants are pulled
up 50 they stand four inches apart in
the row in remarkably quick time
they will be large enough to use.
Beets are more easily handled than
turnips when they are q little larger,
and one should not fail to try q dish
Of beet tops with the tiny roots Just
beginning to form. It Is q delicious
introduction to the garden menu. The
beets which are left in the ground
should be spaced two inches apart.

are to remain in the ground all sea-
son, should be thinned early to three
