Salisbury Farmer
Loses Left Arm

Paul Miller, 40, who conducts a
large dairy farm on U. S. route 219,
one miles south of Salisbury, near the
Garrett county line, while driving his
car along the highway near his home,
was sidcswiped by a large truck going
in the opposite direction last Thurs
day evening.
Miller had his left arm resting on
the sill of the car window and it was
so badly crushed and mangled that
amputation near the shoulder was
necessary. The operation was per-
formed at Hazel McGilvery hospital,
in Meyersdalc, Pa. The injured man
lost considerable blood and was given
two transfusions.
Miller, veteran of World War |,
took over the dairy farm following
the death of his father, Harvey c.
Miller, about ten years ago.

Citizens Sleep Thru
Statewide Alert
AIlegany County Officials Fail
To Observe Warning and Garrett
County Was Never Notified

Failure of the Allegany county con-
troll center to catch the surprise all
raid test alert last Friday morning
caused Garrett countians to sleep
peacefully through the alarm. The
signals also hit a snag in the Sails
bury control center and Wicomico
Worcester and Somerset counties had
no alert, in addition to Garrett iand
Allegany.
There was no advance warning
given to anyone, according to a
spokesman for Maj. Gen, Milton A.
Reckord, head of the Third Service
Command, officials wanting as COM
plete a test as possible at an UNI
expected time.
The spokesman revealed that only
three top officers in the command
knew in advance that the test was
coming. He added that state defense
officials had requested a test for
Wednesday night, but army officials
refused, declaring that the informa-
ton had "leaded" and army authori-
ties had heard about it even before
the order was given out
Garrett county air raid officials get
all their signals through the Allegany
county control center, and naturally
knew nothing of the alert when those
in Cumberland failed to receive the
warnings.

PLEASURE
DRIVERS
PUT ON HONOR
Motorists Asked To Limit Driv,
ing To Essential Needs; Cou-
pom Value Remains Same

The ban on pleasure driving in the
Eastern shortage area was lifted at
midnight Tuesday night, and the
patriotism of motorists is now being
depended upon to limit driving to es-
sential needs
There is no increase in the value
of ration coupons in the curtailment
area. In fact, the joint announcement
by the Office of Price Administration
and the Petroleum Administration for
War said
This action should not be in
terpreted as meaning that there is an
increased supply of gasoline available
for civilians 1t should be realized that
unrestricted pleasure driving is out as
long as gasoline is needed for our
fighting forces"
Honor System
Lifting of the pleasure ban was, in
effect, restoration of the old "honor
system" which Price Administrator
Prentiss M. Brown inaugurated soon
after taking office and which proved
to be failure. Price officials long
have recognized the futility of such a
system so long as motorists with B
and c cards have extra gasoline
But Brown and Petroleum Admins
traitor Harold L. Ickes announced that
the energy and enforcement effort
which has been used in connection
with the pleasure driving ban now
would be turned to vigorous prosecu-
ton of those who engage and par
ticipate in black market gasoline.
There have been unofficial hints that
OPA also plans an intensive drive to
cut and C rations to the bone.
Hope For "A" Books
Brown hopes that basic A rations
in the East-now equivalent to one
and one-haf gallons a week-can be
raised to about two gallons a week.
Ickes' consistently pessimistic state
ments about East Coast oil supplies,
however, appear to preclude any pos
sibility of Brown fulfilling that hope
in the near future
Effective at the same time the
pleasure ban is lifted was the aban-
donment of restrictions on non-essen-
tial motor boating and the restora-
ton of the plan under which service
men on leave or furlough get five
gallons of gasoline. Also abandoned
will be the requirement for ration
board permits for vacation travel

Wampum Belts Hold No
Secret Pattern Writing

Never hand an Indian a wampum
belt and ask him to read historic
events or secrets written" in bead
patterns. Bead writing of this sort
never existed, says ]. N. B. Hew-
lit, Smithsonian institution ethnolo-
gist.
Yet many white people, even some
Indians, believe certain tribes in
vented a bead language to record
matters of importance. So persistent
is the belief, says Mr.. Hewitt, that
wampum belts have even been
seized and destroyed in the mis-
taken idea that Indians would then
have no record Of some treaty argu-
ment, business deal, or heather"
ceremony.
In fairly modern times, an Iro-
quois chief would hold wampum
strands while reciting the ritual
called the requickening address. But
Mr.. Hewitt cannot find the slightest
evidence that the chief got any help
from the beads for the actual infor-
nation in his address. Qroquois
Indians did devise certain bead ar
rangements to serve as cues for
memorizing points. An Indian speak
er who read the wampum" was
merely keeping track of, say, wheth-
er he had reached point four or
not.)

want to tell our parents as we
wanted to surprise them. 1 have
been thinking recently that this
isn't quite right. Don't you think
we should write my wife's mother
and tell her?
Answer-That do. And 1 think
it would be nicer still if the
news were to come direct from you.
This is really a secret that should
be shared with parents for mothers
have a way of helping out on such
occasions. You needn't worry; they
will be plenty surprised to hear the
good news.
L. WI enjoy reading so much
your advice on the problems of life.
Some folks sure are crazy the way
they ask questions. Now, here is
my case: Will l be able to make
my trip east this summer or should
| GO?
Answer-You could take the trip
all right but it might be well to put
it off this year. If you will take
the money your trip will cost you
and invest it in a good dental job
on your teeth you will realize far
more satisfaction and relieve your
self of much suffering before this
year is out.
NJ. r. HI have three boy
friends and each of them lives in
the same town that l do. What
must 1 do, go on with the three or
with the one / love the best? One
of them has signed up for the
army and he said he wants to
marry me, but 1 think l am too
young to marry.
Answer-Of course you are too
young to be marrying and so is
the young man who is soon to go
in the service. Be sweet to him, but
put off getting married for a few
years. You are very young and you
will miss lot of good fun and good
times if you consider taking a hus-
band at this time.
