Browning Indians
Defeat Shelby
by Wayne Duncan

The Indians old-time rivals,
the Shelby Coyotes, failed to dup
llcate their victory of January
last Friday night the local
school gym, the visitors being
TAKEN by the score of 80 to "a.
At times it was exciting, with
the Indians showing the old flash,
which won them the divisional
championship last year.
The Indians took the lead at
the very start and held it through
out the game. In the first quar-
ter the Indians bewildered the
Coyotes with fast-breaking plays
and set-ups, building up a 10 to
2 lead.
The Coyotes. however, made
better showing in t h second
quarter. shortening the Indians
lead to 5 points, the score at the
half being 16 to II.
Both teams in the third quar-
ter got more aggressive, it being
by far the most exciting quarter
of the game. The Indians made
II points and the Coyotes 7. both
playing offensive ball.
In the final quarter the Coy
otes unleashed everything they
had, but to no avail. The Indians
kept matching basket for basket.
with the Coyotes hopelessly try
ing everything in the book.
The preliminary was played by
the Junior High and the B-squad,
the latter nosing out the foe by
the score of 10 to 20.

hand with its customary pep"
music. A dance was given later.

same system will apply to various
kinds of meats. Meat is one of
the food groups that will be ra-
toned by the point system, al
though it won't be the first. This
rationing will be in addition to
the present straight coupon ra-

Our government is establish

of the fact that his share will be

In the point rationing system

this will be regulated by supply

MARYLAND's VITAL WAR CROPS

Meetings have been held through
out Maryland last week and this
as the first step in the mobilizing
of Maryland farmers in q State
wide movement to produce this year,
more food and materials vital to
the winning of the war.
Four Maryland crops are consid-
cred vital war crops. They are
soybeans for oil, Irish potatoes and
tomatoes and peas for canning. The
farmers of this State have been
asked to increase their Irish DO
tota acreage by % percent and their
soybeans for oil acreage by 16
percent. Increased goals for peas
and tomatoes for canning are soon
to be announced.
Food needs of the United Nations
also demand that Maryland farmers
increase their acreage for other
crops as follows: corn, percent in
eleven commercial counties and 10
percent in Talbot County; rye, 1000
acre INCREASE; milk COWS ON farms,
2 percent; milk, percent; cattle
and calves on farms, percent;
cattle and calves for market and
farm slaughter, 9 percent; spring
sows to farrow, 20 perment; fall
sows to farrow, Fl percent; tobacco,
percent. Production Of other i'm
portant crops Is to be maintained at
the high 1912 level.

Payments of unemployment bene-

This was the first year in which un-
less than the total for the preced-
ing year (1941) and more than
forty-two per cent below the pay
ments in 1910.
The Maryland Boards largest
payments were made in 1888 when
the total amounted to $10.143,S17
This was tn efirts year in which un-
employment benefits were paid in
Maryland and most other States.
In December last (1942) Mary
land benefit payments amounted to
$134,S42, which was about $4,000
more than the expenditure in Mo-
vember.
Unemployment benefits paid by
the Maryland Board since the estab-
fishing of the nationwide system
now aggregate $31,252.441, and the
average size of the weekly benefit
check for that five-year period was
$3.50, but the figure In recent
months has been above $12, as the

LOWERED TAX ON AZ INCOMES
PLEDGED BY GOV.
O'CONOR

In view of the strong financial
position of the State, Governor Her
bert r. O'Conor told the members
of the newly convened Maryland
LEGISLATURE, he proposed to recon-
mend a sizeable reduction in In
come Taxes, to be taken from the
State surplus.
Furthermore, the Governor de-
clared, sit will be possible to make
the reduction retroactive so as to
apply to incomes of this calendar
year 1912. l believe the benefits Of
this reduction to the people of the
State should not be delayed, but be
made Immediately effective and ap-
plicable to Income Tax payments in
1912 incomes. 1 will further recon-
mend that similar reductions in in
come be made during the next two
years.
Fortunately, our strong financial
situation enabled the State Agencies
to meet the impact of war and the
additional RESPONSIBILITIES engendered
by the National Emergency. Mary
lands financial house is in order,
the fiscal position is sound. The
State Government has been and will
be able to meet the stresses and
strains imposed upon it.
Because the current budget was
compiled prior to our active parti-
cipation in the World War, state
ments of anticipated revenues did
not and, naturally, could not re-
feet the tremendous industrial &C
tivity which has taken place in the
State in the last year. Our estimat-
ed revenues could not have antici-
pated the very considerable increase
in the nationa Income from $751;
100000 in 1941 to $117,0O0,-
100000 in 1912. That sudden and
unpredictable change affected Mary
land appreciably is indicated by the
fact that payrolls in November We're
I'D 500. This situation, coupled
with care and prudence in expendi-
lures, resulted in a surplus in the
State Treasury, large portion OF
which now can and will be return
ed to the people in the form of
considerable reduction in taxes.

NEW MONEY

Visitors to England these wal
years have commented on the new
type of currency in circulation there
1t is, of course, the coupons of the
point system of rationing, soon to
become an American commonplace
The primary question of the Eng
lish housewife is no longer the price
of a given article in sterling, but
its cost in points. The coupons, are
accepted in the same way as money,
merchants even take them to the
bank and deposit them as they do
conventional money, and draw
against them for replenishment OF
stocks from wholesalers. Thus a
new tender takes its place in the
national economy, and becomes a
factor that must be reckoned with
in all transactions from the lowest
to the highest level.

Consumption liquor per during year

A war Of survival requires clear
thinking, which In turn calls for
sane, sober minds and bodies.
However. the figures on national
liquor consumption for the fiscal
year ending in mid-1942-as released
by the W.C.T.U. show that the i'm
ract Of war has failed to slenderize
the purses of the liquor trade. In
fact, the money bags are bullying!
The mid-1942 figures, partially es-
timated, show that total gallons of
alcoholic liquor sold was increased
II per cent over 1941.
The national consumption for the
fiscal year exceeded two billion gal
Ions. or 65 quarts for every man,
woman, and child In the United
States. This is an average Of one
and one-Quarter quarts per person
