Modern Chaplain Rides the
Circuit in an Airplane

The war has brought back the
circuit rider, that famed clerical
figure of another era, but this time
he uses an airplane instead OF a
horse. Chaplain (Capt.) William E.
Taggart, who was chaplain of the
10th bombardment group, United
States army air forces, has told
about it. Chaplain Taggart wears
the Silver Star, awarded him for
gallantry In the Southwest Pacific.
"An army chaplain assigned to an
air corps unit in a combat theater
learns that he cannot expect his
men to attend his services regular
ly," Chaplain Taggart said. $50 he
has to 60 to the'men. Many times
! have boarded a plane and gone to
the men. hidden maybe in the jun
gle and awaiting a chance to at
tack or to fly on defensive mis-
sion. They haven't time to listen to
sermons, and the chaplain has to- 60
by each plane, give short religious
message to the pilot and the men,
bers of his crew and then hurry on
to the next. It is circuit riding all
over again but little more modern
than that which we had in the old
days.
"A chaplain doesn't have to sell
the Word of God to his men. His
main job is seeing that religion is al
ways made available to them. Of
course, he has the never-ending job
of visiting the sick and the wounded,
the reviving of the spirits of the
downhearted and the burying Of the
glorious dead. He never feels his
work is through, but he also never
feels that the seeds he sows do not
bear fruit. All around him he can
see the fruits of his work. There is
a need for more and more chaplains
and, even with the full quota as
signed to us, there won't be enough
to do the job as well as we Of the
church would like to see it DONE"

SALARY BOOST FOR STATE
EMPLOYEES

Salary increases for State employ
ees totalling more than $1,500,OOO
will be provided under the new Stan
dard Salary Schedule, under which
the first pay checks were distributed
as of July Is, Governor Herbert R.
O'Conor announced. In addition, bon
us payments of $2,600,000 to school
teachers and State employees will be
made within the next so days, in
two installments, he said.
Two-thirds Of the States office
and other personnel, the Governor
said, will receive increases under the
new schedule, and he expressed the
conviction that these well-deserved
increments in their salaries would be
most effective in retaining for the
State the services of many valuable
employees who could not possibly be
replaced under today's- conditions .
Although discussed for some years
previously, legislation establishing
the Standard Salary Board was spon-
sored by Governor O'Conor, who
made the Act effective by approving
the Standard Salary Boards report
on December 81 of last year.

NEW CABLE SPEEDS
COMMUNICATIONS
in BATTLE AREAS

"Spiral 4" is the name for a new
cable which is one of the most effec-
tive communication aids in modern
warfare. The spiral 4" cable is about
the thickness of a fat lead pencil. AS
the name implies, it contains only
four wires which run in spiral
throughout the length Of the rubber
covered cable.
The wires can handle both telegraph
and telephone messages. Equipped
with Carrier" currents, each wire
can handle several messages stimuli
taneously without interference. The
cable is made in quarter-mile lengths,
the ends of which are fitted with
weather-proof connectors.. This en-
ables the Signal Corps to install very
quickly communication facilities be-
tween rapidly moving military units
simply by throwing the cable on the
ground and attaching the ends to-
gether. Furthermore, should any
nasty Nazi eavesdrop by tapping
these wires, it would disappoint him
no end, for he would hear only lot
of unintelligent gibberish which by
clever mechanism Is made intelligent
at the receiving end.

Ancients Used Cork

The elder Pliny in the First CEN
fury A. D. wrote about cork in his
famous 'Naturalia Historia." Pliny
states that cork was fused for SWIM
ming, ship anchors, fish nets, as
shoppers for jugs and winter shoes
for women" Virgil and Horace In
their classic writings refer to cork,
the former to its use on the roofs of
houses and the latter to it's use for
sealing wine vases. Early monas-
teries were provided with cork lined
walls and ceilings to protect the
monks from the intense heat of the
summer sun. Peasant natives in the
cork producing areas for centuries
used cork slabs for roofs of their
houses and to provide soft floors that
were warm to the touch. In later
times, cork was mixed with earth
and used to form the walls of build
ings.

Dehydrated Foods Big
Item in Marines Fare

Since transportation space is one
Of the biggest problems for supply
officers, dehydrated foods are used
as much as possible in marine field
kitchens. Dehydrated foods have
been developed to such degree
that most of the time they can not
be detected from fresh foods. Pow
dered eggs with bacon and powdered
milk with hot or cold cereal, along
with canned fruit, constitute the usu-
al breakfast. Coffee remains the
favorite morning beverage.
Potatoes are the staple vegetable
for dinner and supper, with beans
and corn competing for second
place. A condensed form of butter
which comes in tins and is nom
perishable supplements every meal.
Canned fruit is the usual dessert.
Bread, made by special tropical
formula, is rationed six ounces per
man daily. Orangeade and lemon
ade, made from crystals, and grape
and grapefruit juices are usually
served once a day as a precaution
against beri-beri and scurvy. Dysen-
terry and diarrhea, World War
bogeys, are held to a minimum.

SOUND WHITE OAK NEEDED

Large-dimension, sound white oak
S badly needed by many boatbuild
ers for keels, frames, and other ship
members in craft designed for war
purposes. State Forester Joseph F.
KaylOr announces. Most trees of the
size required are found on large or
mall estates, and on farms, where
hey are valued for their beauty or
for sentimental reasons. This feeling
Tor fine white oak is easy to UNDER
stand, Mr.. Kaylor says, but we must
remember that no tree lives forever,
and when it's life is climaxed by SER
vice against the Axis, what better
could be asked!
Owners of the finest estates in Esq
land have, without hesitation, dedi-
Gated their century old oaks to the
national welfare, and it is Mr.. Kay
lor's belief that many Maryland land
owners may wish to make like con-
tribution to our own war effort.
Those who do are asked by the
State Forester to communicate with
him, at Baltimore, in order that the
information may be turned over to
the proper authorities. Such owners,
will, of course, receive payment for
their trees at current good prices.

Discovered Smut Cure

How science discovered some i'm
portant facts about wheat smut Is an
interesting bit Of history. About
1870, sailing vessel loaded with
wheat ran into a storm and was
grounded near Bristol, England.
English grain growers were suffer-
ing heavy losses from smut, a mys-
terious disease for which no control
had been discovered. Farmers liv-
ing along the coast salvaged some
Of the grain from the wreck. They
found it too saturated with sea wa
ter to use for flour, so planted it as
seed.
The soaked seed produced wheat
that was fairly free from smut while
nearby fields were heavily diseased.
During the next century, sprinkling
wheat with brine was a common
practice. Today, research has de-
termined that the disease is caused
by fungi which reproduce them
selves and live over from year to
year by means Of microscopic bod
les known as spores that are often
present on the surface of the seed.

Honey Flavor Varies

All honey is good and wholesome,
at least in the temperate zone, even
that made from the flowers of poi
son ivy and poison sumac, but there
are great differences in flavor and
color, dependent on the source Of
the nectar. In the southeastern part
of the country bees often gather
honey too bitter to be edible. Ex-
periments indicate that honeybees
can pass to the honey many kinds
of coloring substances and flavors
when these are fed in sugar syrup as
a supplementary ration, thus indi-
eating possibilities Of more types of
honey (Which, for commercial use,
must be labeled to indicate source)
than are possible from flowers
alone.

expert on main drive gear equip

miles, to repair a submarine chas-
er. The chaser was restored to
service in few days. Under usual
procedure, it would have been nec-
essary to disassemble the equip

a task which would have taken the
craft out of service for a month.

GOVERNOR URGES MOVE TO END
LEGISLATIVE JAMS"

Greeting the members of the new
Legislative Council at their organi-
cation meeting, Governor Herbert R.
OsConor placed before the Legisla-
tors a suggestion which, he felt,
would lead to elimination of the "un-
fortunate legislative jams that Of
ten have occurred in the closing days
of the Assembly's sessions.
81 emphasize the fact" the Gov
ernor said, that the Legislature
completed its business before the
expiration of the time limit because
I am convinced that it provides proof
that the usual last-minute jams,
which have characterized legislative
sessions in the past, can be avoided.
1t is the opinion of many that every
EFFORT should be exerted to the end
that such unfortunate jams not be
allowed to occur but that orderly
and business-like procedure be main
tanned. In this manner, the respect
and approval of the citizenry for the
legislative process will be earned.
"There have been suggestions
heretofore about setting deadline
for introduction of such local mat
tiers. Much more effective would it
be, / believe, to establish a deadllne
beyond which any action on local
bills would be forbidden. In other
words, to provide that if'such local
bills were not out of committee and
passed by a certain date, they would
automatically fail of passage.
sit would be worthy of your con-
sideration, think, to decide whether
unanimous consent should be an alb
solute requirement before local mea-
sures could be introduced or passed
after designated dates. Furthermore,
appropriate methods might be de-
vised ito prevent an evasion of such
requirement merely by substituting
an entire Bill, after the deadline, as
an amendment to a measure preyi-
Ously introduced"

Teach Pedestrians Walking

Since the OPA has literally put
Atlanta on its feet, the city police
department has concluded it must
teach pedestrians how to use those
feet-as far as traffic regulations are
concerned, at least. First step In
the campaign was to issue safety
pamphlets for pedestrians in which
safe walking Is stressed. After a
reasonable time pedestrians who
break traffic laws viii be treated
Just like law breaking motorists. In
other words, the chief OF police says,
jaywalking across the street against
a signal light. stepping from parked
cars into the traffic stream, and 9TH
er actions which result in accidents
will be "out" for the duration.

cine and bandage costs, hospitaliza-
ion, and for hired help necessotated

II accidents in Ohio, totals more
han $429,447.
Furthermore, since there are indi-
.ated $3.50 accidents resulting in
stability, including partial perma-
ent disability, for 1878 days of
work, the total loss for this time at
3 per day would be $561,459. OF
Ills amount, $64,447 was paid to
substitute hired help, leaving differ
nee S497,012 additional expense.
For the So cases of complete dis
Utility, plus the 275 deaths, there
would be loss of $6,192,O00-com-
puted at the rate of SO per day for
5000 working days loss from each
omplete disability and death, in ac-
:ordance with the days-lost scale
Ised by the Industrial Commission of
Ohio.
Thus the total expense of farm and
lome accidents in Ohio during the
year ending in February, 1943, is
