MARYLAND TRAFFIC SAFETY
REPORT

In a report to Governor O'Conor's
Traffic Safety Commission, Colonel
Beverly Ober, Superintendent Of
State Police, stated that traffic acci-
dents reached their peak for 1941
during the month of December,
when two thousand one hundred
eighty-four accidents were reported
to the Traffic Collision Statistical
Bureau. These accidents were re-
sponsible for fifty-ive deaths, and
one thousand one hundred five per-
sons injured; twenty-one Of the
deaths occurred in Baltimore City,
and thirty-four in the counties.
A total of twenty-five thousand,
three hundred twenty-nine traffic
collisions were reported to the Sta
tistical Bureau during the past year,
with six hundred six deaths, and ten
thousand, seven hundred eighty
persons injured. This was 1919 in
crease in fatalities, and compar-
able increase in accidents Of all
types over 1910. However, accord
ing to gasoline consumption figures,
there was a 1870 increase in traffic
during this same period, which, it is
safe to assume, was the cause of the
accident increase.
Accompanying the rising volume
Of traffic and generally increased
tempo and tension during the past
Year, Maryland's toll Of traffic cas-
ualities averaged II persons killed,
and 29.5 persons injured every day.
1870 of those killed were pedes-
TRANS, $3.50 were drivers or passen-
gers in motor vehicles in collision
with other motor vehicles, and 24%
were drivers or passengers Of We
hicles that overturned or collided
with fixed objects, in most cases,
because Of excessive speeds.
Traffic density in Maryland is
highest in Baltimore City, and 1870
of all accidents reported occurred
there. However, these were respon-
sible for only $50 of the fatalities.
The counties, on the other hand,
while reporting only $50 Of the ac-
cidents, experienced 1870 of the
fatalities.
Throughout the year, the major
causes Of traffic accidents continued
to be the utter disregard of common
sense safety precautions by drivers
and pedestrians; excessive speeds,
driving on the wrong side of the
road, intoxication, and failing to
reduce speeds at night and during
bad weather. These dangers were
augmented, of course, by the large
increase in traffic, which every driver
should take into consideration when
using the streets and highways.

VICTORY BOOK CAMPAIGN
GOING OVER TOP

Mauritz Hallgren, Victory Book
Chairman for the Counties, is elated
over the excellent showing made by
all of the counties in the book drive.
He reports practically every county
has either filled its quota or will do
so within the next day or SO. Several
have doubled or even trebled their
quotas. Indeed, the twenty-three
counties of Maryland have done their
full share and more. For this eve at
state headquarters are truly CRATE
full. And for this we know we have
the county papers largely to thank.
Nevertheless, should like to
suggest that the book drive is still
going strong and still has good
deal Of local news value. 1t would
also be of great help to your county
committee and for the benefit of
those of your readers who have been
meaning to give books but for one
reason or another have been putting
it off. They all know about the cam
paign. All that most of them need
is q last-minute reminder to bring
in the books they have been meaning
to give.

SUGAR RATION TWELVE
OUNCES WEEKLY

Special sugar stamps" to be is
sued by the Government to regis
tered before purchases can be made
under the pending sugar-rationing
program.
Each stamp will permit an indi-
vidual to buy IL ounces Of sugar
his weekly ration.
A spokesman for the Office Of
Price Administration disclosed that
booklets containing enough stamps
to last three months or more would
be printed and that the time requir-
ed for the printing would delay OPP
GRAFTON of the rationing machinery
for at least another month.
1t was reported that the plan con-
templates registration of consumers
by families, with stamp booklets to
be issued to each member of the
family regardless of age. However,
no more than one stamp per person
may be used each week.
Stamp books will be issued at
the time of registration.
OPA said the rationing would be
supervised by local boards, proc
ably the same boards now handling
tire rationing but augmented by a
member or members drawn from
the food industry.

AIR.RAID AID TO WORKERS

Instructions for Industrial work
ers as to what they should do in an
air raid have been issued by the
Plant Protection Division of the
Office of Civilian Defense.
Advice is to keep working until
the AFRAID alarm is sounded. Take
cover. Keep cool and help others to
keep cool. Don't phone or shout
listen to the AFRAID warden. If the
worker has plant defense post, he
is expected to take that position at
the sound of the alarm. Others con-
tinue their usual tasks until the
AFRAID warden gives the signal to
take temporary shelter. Take the
necessary safety measures of ma
chimes and tools. Do not show lights.
Fight incendiary bombs. Conflagra-
lions are avoided by controlling such
bombs at once. Remain "alert" in
the prescribed safe place until the
"all clear" signal is given and re-
turn to work.
Remember that this is a war of
production and that production
must continue, The plant is taking
every precaution for the workers
safety.

SCIENTIST TELLS
HOW ROUP LOSSES
MAY BE LESSENED

Control Roupl" should be the watch
word Of every poultryman. For it is
another poultry profit taker that can
certainly undermine mans best eff
forts with chickens, unless proper care
is taken to control it according to DR..
r. e. Lubbehusen, Pathologist with Plir-
ina Mills.
ITO fight a trouble maker like Roup,"
says DR.. Lubbehusen, "a poultry raiser
should be able to recognize its symp-
toms, then take the necessary steps to
eliminate it."
Recognizing Symptoms
The disease, he says, may occur In q
very severe, moderate or mild form.
In the severe type, which Is particu-
larly disastrous in birds six to twelve
weeks old, the first symptom noted is
q light mucus discharge from the nose.
This dries plugging the nostrils and
causing swelling Of the cavities at the
side Of the head. Frequently, too, there
Is puffiness about the eyes, and occa-
sionally swelling Of the wattles. Mucous
and cheesy material may collect in the
cleft in the roof Of the mouth. Mucus
may also accumulate in the windpipe,
causing the birds to gasp and cough.
Controlling Outbreak
'The first step in controlling outbreak
Is the removal Of the affected BIRDS"
Lubbehusen recommends. eff this Is
done during the early stage when only
q few birds are affected, it will help In
stopping the spread Of the disease. The
recovery of the affected birds may be
hastened by washing the nasal pas
sages with 1ukewarm water solutions
containing Prrina Chlorena Powder In
the proportion Of one level teaspoonful
per gallon of water. A like proportion
should be added to the drinking water
to help keep down the spread Of In
lection.
very beneficial results" says Lub-
behusen, "have been reported from the
use of Purina Chlorena Powder as q
dust spray over the heads Of affected
docks. It has definite antiseptic
value, as well as being a distinct aid In
clearing the nasal passages"

In the home itself, the price Of
victory will include Increasingly
drastic rationing. Sugar and tires
were just starters. We can look for
ward to time when new radio
may be just as hard to come by as q
new car. Scarcity of materials need
ed for Army and Navy and Lend
Lease is going to combine with scar
city Of Industrial facilities--as more
and more factories are drafted into
the war effort--to change our lives
tremendously. The needs Of Army
and Navy are going to affect the styl-
ing of our clothes, as well as our
diets. We know we may count ON the
new price control act to operate
along with rationing, in the diroe-
ton Of fair prices.

Key to the Scriptures" in wnlcn rnls
final revelation Of Truth il set forth
in such way that it may be UNDER
stood by all. During these nine years
she had not only reduced this divine
revelation to a system that could be
grasped and used by the thought Of
this age, but she had also proved her
discovery, which she denominated
Christian Science, by many outstand-
ing healings. That her system is q
demonstrable Science was further
proved when others were able to do
the same healing work by following
the rules she had established.
Progress the Embodiment Of Good
Mrs. Eddy taught that progress is
the law of God" (Science and Health,
p. 233). Now spiritual progress un-
derlies all that may really be regarded
as progress in human affairs, because
it is through spiritual progress that
whatever is really good is brought
into human experience. And does not
progress mean to each of US some
further embodiment Of good or de-
struction of evil? We certainly do
not recognize the seeming loss Of good
or development of evil as progress.
And is there anyone who does not de-
sire more of good? To one, progress
may mean better sense Of health; to
another, freedom from bondage to
some form of sin or false appetite; to
others, more abundant sense Of sup
ply, a more harmonious home, happier
human relationships, better place or
position, and so on. Yet, as desirable
as these things seem to be, they are
the "signs following" the outward
manifestation of the capitalization
Of thought that must first take place
in individual human consciousness
they are not the reality Of good that
must be sought for itself. It is right
to bring out these things in human
experience, but we do not bring them
about by seeking them for themselves.
Rather, our first desire must be to at
tain correct understanding of God
and man, and this desire must be
strong enough to cause US to seek
yes, to strive for-this understanding,
knowing that this capitalization of
thought will remove the seeming dis
cord or lack. Christ Jesus made this
quite clear, and gave US an invariable
rule for the attainment Of human
progress, when he said, "Seek We first
the kingdom of God, and his righte-
BUSINESS; and all these things shall be
added unto you"
Spiritual and Human Progress
Spiritual progress--the spiritualiza-
ton of individual human conscious
iiess--invariably brings about human
progress, or improvement in indi-
vidual human experience. God is per-
feet and He maintains man, His idea,
your true individuality and mine, ct
the standpoint of perfection the per-
feet image and likeness Of Mind,
Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth,
and Love.

Colds Continue
a Very Serious
Poultry Problem
Exact Cause Of Disease Remains
.Unsolved.,

Long q serious problem to poultry
men. the common cold continues to be
one Of his worst enemies.
mo one has discovered just what
causes colds In poultry" reports r. e.
Smith, head Of the Sanitation Depart
ment Of the Ralston Purina Company.
But 1t Is well known that the disease
often develops as a result Of exposure
to danapness, cold, drafts, and condi-
tions brought about by crowding and
poor ventilation"
Smith explains that it is the vital
ity Of individual birds in a flock that
determines how the flock as q whole
will react to unfavorable conditions.
Once few weak birds in q flock be-
come infected, even healthy birds have
difficult time withstanding the spread
OF the disease germs.
Smith suggests the following eight
point sanitation program as a safeguard
against costly losses from colds:
l. Eliminate drafts, dampness and
crowding.
2. Scrub fountains daily with q stiff
brush and disinfect them with
Chlorena solution.
8. If necessary, give the birds a mild
flush.
A. Clean the poultry house thor
oughly and disinfect with solu-
ton Of Cre-so-fec.
s. Supply plenty Of clean litter.
6. If colds occur, remove sick birds
immediately. Burn those which
die.
.. At the first observance Of colds,
close the house and dust the birds
with Chlorena Powder until they
sneeze frequently. Repeat with
light dustings daily until the
birds show improvement.
8. Keep the flock on full feed. II
feed consumption drops, feed
Layena checkers at night. To
further increase feed consump-
ton, 1t may be advisable to add
an appetizer such as Chek-R-Ton
to the laying mash.

JAPANESE SCHOOLS A THREAT

One of the most startling discov-
cries of the Dies committee has been
the subversiye teachings and prac-
tices OF the Japanese language
schools on the west coast. Investi-
gators found that, from the lower
grades UP, students in these schools
are thoroughly versed in the mill
taristic ideals of their Japanese an
cestors. Books for small children
bear the likeness of Japanese SOL
diers and flags, and the stories of the
greatness Of the Japanese navy are
featured. The graphic description of
a mythical Japanese submarine at
tack, rivaling that on Pearl Harbor,
was presented to the students sew
eral years ago.

The urgent need of individuals and
nations today is to go forward. Never
has there been greater need for in
dividual and collective progress. Never
has error been more aggressive in its
claims to oppose, obstruct, and de-
stroy. But, in it's search for way
out, it seems that mankind is looking
everywhere except to God, and the re-
suit is quite apparent on all sides. Yet
the understanding of the supremacy
Of God, good, and radical reliance on
Him to save and heal are effective to
meet and destroy these arguments of
error today. For we have the Science
Of Christianity, which Mary Baker
Eddy has given to this age, and which
enables us spiritually to understand
and demonstrate the Masters teach
ings. In view of present-day condi--
tions, would it not seem wise for men
to give more thought to the words and
deeds Of the great Exemplar, who
never failed to solve a problem and
who said, "He that believeth on me,
the works that ! do shall he do ALSO?
The Masters work was to mark out
the way-the way each individual can
and must follow in order to work out
his own salvation. Jesus taught his
followers to do the works that he did,
to use their spiritual understanding as
he used his, with the same "signs fol-
lowing"-the healing of the sick as
well as the shining, and even the over
coming Of death.
Nearly two thousand years later,
cultured, spiritually-minded New
England woman, progressive
thinker, Mary Baker Eddy, discovered
the spiritual meaning of the Masters
words and works and found that she
understood and reflected the same
spiritual power exercised by his i'm
mediate followers and the early Chris
tians--the power to heal. Mrs. Eddy
caught the first glorious glimpse of
the truth as she lay on what was sup
posed to be her deathbed. And the
result was as remarkable as any early
Christian healing, for she Immediately
arose, dressed herself, and Joined some
friends who thought they had come to
zee her for the last time.
However, the complete revelation of
the truth Of being did not unfold to
Mrs. Eddy as glorious burst Of light.
She writes that this revelation came
20 her gradually, and It was nine years

into a paean of praise for the Marines.
The tribute was forceful, lengthy and at
times not too fattering to the Army and
Navy.
Spence finally interrupted him.
But you've got to remember this"
