HUGHESVILLE, Md, Sept. TO-
The use of hay as mulch to pro.
tect new grass seedlings along Route
235-the new access highway being
constructed from south of here to
connect with roads leading to the
Cedar Point Naval Base-is causing
protests from farmers who live be-
side this highway.
Men who say the small crops Of
hay they usually raise in this South
ern Maryland tobacco section were
ruined by this years drought, de-
clare that the State should have
substituted another cover material
for forage, which now is being sub
sidized by the Government for sale
to, farmers in the drought area.
Beginning just south of here,
where the new highway branches
from Route 5, the old turnpike lead
ing to Leonardtown, hay has been
strewn along four miles of newly
seeded shoulders, and bales of for
age have been left stacked along
the roadside to be used as the work
of planting and roadside continues.
Some farmers estimate that more
than 100 tons already have been
used.
Seeding to Cost S28,500.
Officials of the Maryland Road
Commission said the contract for
seeding the new highway was
awarded to the Woodbine Nurseries
Of Baltimore, August 4, for $28, 500.
They said the road is being con-
strncted from Hughesville, to the
Thtee Knets road near Cedar Point
f6tA total cost Of $6l1 ,52476.
G. g. Alvey, who lives near The
Oaks, just off the new highway.
said he lost an eight-acre hay crop
this year because of dry weather.
He said that while the hay being
used on the roadside was not "the
best grade, a lot of farmers would
be glad to get some of it."
Mr.. Alvey compared the mulch
hay to a 111-pound bale he had
just purchased for SLIT. He said
the mulch looked Older" but was
about as good grade as his bale.
II think stock would eat it," he said.

Bombing Of Berlin Appalling

The bombing of Berlin is appalling II you tnlnK
behind the news reports and realize the mposslbhty
of dropping thousands of tons of high explosives upon
densely populated place without killing women, chill
dren and other non-combatants.
Even dispatches from London indicate that the
British people express the suffering OF
helpless people in the enemy capital The London folks
know what bombing does and they have seen and smelt
the flesh of burned persons.
How, then, is it that free people throughout the
world approve and applaud the hdeous slaughter that
visits German cities? Is it merely that they seek re-
venge for the horrors that were perpetrated upon tne
innocent victims of Naz aggression earlier in the war
We think not. The only justification Of the bomb
ing offensive against the Germans that 1t is neces
sary to win the and to prevent the Germans from
creating aerial machine to repeat the carrier cam
paen of terror that was naugurated into modern war
fare by the Axis miltarists.
Either the German cities must be bombed unmercl-
fully or we must sit idly by and permit the Naz Lead
ers to plan new devment against our Allied peoples
It is strictly case of bomb first or get bombed LATER
and the British are proving to the world that they can
dish it out as well take it.
The United States, we should understand, is not
absoved of the killing of non-combatant people when
our planes drop their heavy bombs. 1t is matter OF
regret but ALSO of necessity The enemy asked for
and they are getting it. is up to them to say when
they have had enough.

Treasury department.

The treasury said: you must tax
the spending money out of the pock-
cts or you'll have imitation. The con-
gress passed tax bill that would
raise about fifth of what the ad-
ministration said was necessary.
This disregard of treasury's advice
was due only in part to a lack of
respect for Secretary Morgenthau's
tax theories. And everybody blames
the President for that. He doesn't
have to keep Morgenthau in his cab
met, even if he was a good neighbor
up there on the Hudson. But con-
gress wouldn't have taken anyone's
advice on that subject.
The congress threatened to stop
the appropriation and authorization
for the Office of Price Administra-
ton. 1t managed to consider bills
to take away OPA's powers, bit by
bit, to maintain the ceiling on coal
and on oil.
These are just few of the many
efforts to shake loose the war re-
straints. Congress has reflected,
honestly enough. the feeling of the
people. AS the Allies march nearer
to victory. the restraints of regula-
ton and RECOMMENDATION chafe more
and more.
But down deep in the hearts of
many lawmaker today is the reali-
cation that whether the administra-
ton has been right or wrong in the
way it has done things, it was right
when it said that imitation had to be
avoided.
And that is why today, unless I
miss my guess, or unless some Dam
iel comes to judgment who can dis
cover a better salve than subsidies,
the administration will win, at least
a partial victory, in the battle which
will be staged in the days just
ahead.

They Serve The Cause Of Hitler

Brendon Bracken, British Minister of Information,
saws that German military authorities have little hope
of winning the but they hope to turn defeat into
victory by dividing the United Nations
In this effort they will be aided by every American
who attempts to create discord among the people of
the nations fighting the Axis They will be helped by
every person who weakens the effort OF this coun-
try.
Naturally in the midst of war, one should be care
full in expressing criticism of the men who lead the
nations war effort However, this does not mean that
honest and sincere criticism is out of place that dis
cussion about public affairs should be stiled.
1t is easy to distinguish between helpful and nJuri
GUS criticism and to understand the selshness that
instigates some complaints

The center of all Christian think
ing is the fact that God has revealed
Himself to man. This revelation is
found in the Bible, for it is the Word
Of God. That is why the command
ments which we have studied in re-
cent weeks speak to us with such
authority. They are not the express
sion of human opinion of how we
should live. They are Gods COM
mand which we are to obey.
The great and final revelation Of
God and His love was not the writ
ten Word-the Bible-but the Living
Word-His Son. The coming Of
Christ is our lesson for next week,
on Christmas Sunday. But this week
we want to learn a little more Of
what His coming into the world
meant. He was
1. Gods Last Word (Heb. 1:1-0.
Through the ages God had been
speaking through the prophets, con-
stantly revealing Himself as God
of power, justice. holiness, truth and
mercy.
In different ways and at various
times ". u He spoke through them,
but always there was a pointing for
ward to the One who should come.
Abraham was called out to found
the nation (Gen. 12), and Jacob the
family or tribe Gen. 49), in
which He should come. He was
to be a prophet like Moses (Deut.
49, and of the kingly house Of Da-
vid QI Sam. y. All the offerings
of Leviticus spoke of His priestly
service. Isaiah saw Him as both the
reigning and the suffering Messiah
lisa. so.
All this was incomplete until He
came; and when He did. He re-
vealed all the glory of God. He made
perfect and final sacrifice for sin,
and sat down (His work was fin
ishe6 at Gods right hand (the place
of power).
Let us be clear about this: in
Christ Gods revelation is perfect
and complete. We need look for
nothing more. The claims of those

Unless miss my guess badly, as
these lines appear in print, num-
Der Of senator's and representatives
will be going through one of the
most nervous nail-biting periods
they have ever experienced.
When the antisubsidy bill passed
the house with such an overwhelm-
ing majority-enough, if the vote
held, to pass it over the Presidents
veto-a lot of congressman were be-
ginning to worry. They were won
dering: If the measure really does
become law, will the ghost which the
President has conjured up really
walk?
Imitation is that ghost.
Nobody wants imitation.
Memories are long enough to re-
member how short the long green
shrank after the last war. Suppose
there came to pass what all the high
brows and the low-brows were pre-
dieting would. that if you lifted the
lid just a l-e-e-t-l-e, it might blow
off, members of congress had begun
to ask themselves.
The memory of the boys selling
apples, the memory of mortgages
forNclosing, the memory of Mister,
have-you-got-a-dime?" began to stir
in many a dormant corner.
Strange Phenomenon
1t was strange but not an un-
accustomed phenomenon. The phe-
nomenon of the congressman torn
between what the particular group
which dominated his constituency
wanted and what he felt honestly
and sincerely was the best thing for
them in the long run. That doubt
began to stir. 1t was an interesting
thing to pass through the halls of
the Capitol and of the House and
Senate Office buildings and talk to
these men. You could almost see
the spectre rising behind them. The
spectre of imitation pointing its fin
ger at them.
Whenever you run into someone
whose business it is to feel the pulse
of congress. you get the same reao-
ton l have just pictured. Members
Of congress are worried. They don't
want to be blamed for imitation.
And that is why now, at this mo-
ment, when the fate of the Commod-
ity Credit corporation (Which nearly
everybody wants. would seem to be
sealed by the triumph Of the anti
subsidy provision, such fate may not
be so certain.

so obviously untrue that we ought
not be at all interested.
But not only is Christ Gods final

III. Gods Best Word (Heb. 1:4-9).
The prophets and their messages

more earnest living. But the Christ

deemer.

$50. The early church made too
much of angels Gas do some groups
today, but Professionalism Of our day
has made too little of them. They
are great and powerful beings who
minister on our behalf and who are
honored in the loyal service they do
for God.
But when they stand beside the
Son of God, it becomes evident that
He holds a place of Incompatible
glory and majesty. He is the high
est revelation of God, the best Word
that God could have spoken to needy
and sinful humanity.
We do well to think of who Christ
is and what He has done. Just in
this passage from Hebrews we find
that He is the express image of all
of Gods glory; He is the upholder
of all creation; He has the place of
honor and power at Gods right
hand; He is the only begotten of the
Father; His throne has been estab-
lished forever, and so on.
How well nigh unbelievable that
this glorious One is also our Sa-
viour. This is stated in verse 3. but
is developed in our next point.
III. Gods Saving Word (Rom. 10:
4-1O.
If sinful man were only permitted
to look on His glory it would be a
great privilege. but it would not
help him in his desire for holiness
and eternal joy. There was great
gulf fixed" between sinful man and
a holy God until the Son of Glory be-
came the Goldman, when the eternal
Word became flesh and dwelt
among us" luke 2:14.
Christ as our Saviour is the lend
of the law" to the believer ". a.,
not in the sense that He terminates
the law by setting it aside, but by
completing or fulfilling all of its re-
quirements.
Just so the Christian is set free
from the law, not in order that he
may disobey it, but that he may
keep it in the power and grace which
Christ gives him. The Ten Com
mandments are the law of life for
the Christian because he loves the
Lord Jesus Christ and wants to obey
Him. We do the things which the
Decalogue require not to be saved
thereby, but because we thereby
honor the name Of our Saviour.
The unbeliever. struggling under
the burden Of sin, says, How can
l come to know Him." and we find
the answer in verses $40.

Railroads Plan
For Future Traffic

There is one thing we are all in
terested in. Getting from where we
are to somewhere else and getting
back again.
Naturally, we want to do it as
cheaply as possible. Today in Wash
ington there is going on the prepara-
ton for one of the greatest Transport
tation battles in history. The air.
lines believe that the war has virtu-
ally made the skies their garden. All
they have to do is to spade it. When
peace comes, and the various re-
strictions are lifted, the people will
spread their wings and fly.
The other day, the executives Of
the leading railways got together.
They thought and thought. And this
is what came out of the hopper:
ID Reductions in passenger fares,
both coach and Pullman, immedi-
ately following the war.

would bring"

lightweight, streamlined coaches
and Pullmans, with old cars being
strapped forever.

chandising techniques, including
