Governor Herbert r. O'Conor an
nounced that re had signed an addi-
tional As recommendations, submit
ted by the Special Service Board for
Penal Institutions, approving release
of men from the States correctional
institutions for induction into the
United States Army.
Added to the combinations al
ready granted for this purpose, the
Governor made known that 98 re-
leases had been approved of men de-
sirous of joining one or another OF
the Armed Forces.
Through the Special Service Board
for Penal Institutions, which was
set up by the Governor on the recon-
mendations of National Selective
Service Headquarters, a review has
been in progress since April of the
the cases of all male inmates of Pc
nal and Correctional Institutions be-
tween the ages of IS and As. Where
the men are DESTROYS of entering the
Army or Navy and their cases are
deemed worthy, they are recon-
mended by the Special Service Board
for acceptance by the military au-
thorities.

MARYLAND'S COAL OUTPUT IN
CREASED, GOVERNOR REVEALS

10000 Tons More Produced During
1942-Mine Schools Do Good Work
Maryland's coal mines are doing
their share to produce the needed
extra for wartime Industries, Gov
ernor Herbert r. O'Conor declared,
pointing out that approximat e y
100000 more tons of coal were min
ed in 1912 than in 1871.
The total production of Mary
lands coal mines during the IL
month period was 2,016,418 tons,
the Governor was informed by the
Maryland Bureau of Mines.
OF this amount, 1,167,916 tons
were mined in Allegany County in
SO mines employing 1904 miners,
with an average of LOTT tons per
miner during the year. Total employ
ees for the year amounted to 1926
men.
In Garrett County production
amounted to 838,5O2 tons in 70
mines employing 655 miners and
total personnel of 9S1. Production
per miner in this County for the was
1926 tons.
An important feature of the work
of the Bureau of Mines, it was point
I'd out in the report to Governor o.
Conor, was the operation of the night
,lasses in Vocational Mine Educa-
ion. These are conducted by the
Bureau of Mines in cooperation with
the University of Maryland, the
State Department of ducation, and
the Allegany and Garrett County
Boards of Education.
In the Upper Potomac district.
classes were conducted at Vindex,
Crellin, Shallmar, Kempton, and
Kitzmiller with total enrolment
of 100. In the Georges Greek dis
trict with cases at Finzel, Lonacon-
ing, Barrelville, Barton, and Frost
burg, there were 1875 enrolled. In
addition, short course in coal min
ing was held at Kempton, Garrett
County, for the six-weeks period
from June 16 to July "a instruction
was given in explosives, coal mine
ventilation, map reading, coal mine
gases, mining arithmetic, mine fires
and explosions, safety lamps, and
mining methods.
Interesting points about the school
were that the average age of stu
dents was 38 years; there was an
average daily attendance of 1913
out of the enrolment of II men and
all the men enrolled worked their
full shift at the mine each day be-
fore attending the four-hour period
of instruction FIVE afternoons each
week.
Possibly more important than any
other single feature reported to the
Governor was that there were no la
Dor troubles nor work stoppages dur
ing the calendar year.

INsURING PEACE

In his "Roughing TT Mark Twain
tells of a Western town which was
"shot up" and inundated by no
torious bad man" and his gang. The
leading citizens appealed to group
of miners in a neighboring town to
come and help them catch the ras-
Gals, which the miners did. But the
town authorities let them beg Off
with promises to reform, and soon
they "shot up" the town again.
Then, when the miners were again
appealed to for help, they declared
firmly that they would not stop
their business and take the trouble
to catch the otlaws unless the town
authorities really "meant business.
The townsmen promised to mete out
stern justice; the desperadoes were
caught and hanged, and there was
peace in the town thereafter.
Americans today are pretty much
in the same frame of mind as those
Western miners. They are now, for
the second time within generation,
over in Europe helping to catch the
bad man''-the disturber of the
peace-and there are very positive
signs that they don't want to have
to do it again. Much more than in
the last war they are inclined to
regard the ounce of prevention more
than the pound of cure especially
since the pound of cure did not cure.
Now it looks like better idea to
try to prevent wars than to stop
them from spreading. When we stop
to realize that it is possible for one
man to stir up his neighbors, then
his vicinity, and finally his state, to
the point of disturbing the peace
of the whole world, and causing the
death of millions, it seems time to
do something about it-something
to nip that sort of thing in the bud.

COUNTY COUNCIL PLAN
ADVOCATED

A suggestion that twenty-three
county councils be created to enact
purely local laws and relieve a part
of the General Assembly's burden
has been taken up by the Legislative
Council, with indications it would
precipitate considerable controversy.
The proposal came from Arthur
H. Brice, former State Senate Presi-
dent, who said in letter to the
Council that the plan not only would
relieve the Legislature, but would
encourage more careful considera-
ton of local laws.
Senator James j. Lindsay, 3D.,
baltimore County,, chairman of the
Council, announced he would name
a subcommittee to study the pro-
posal.
Brice, in his letter, proposed the
amendment to the Constitution, to
provide that a law-making council
be set up in each county, and COM
posed of the State Senator, the coun-
ty members of the House of Dele
gates and the County Commissioners.
Adoption of the county council
program would end much of the leg
islative jam at Annapolis" Brice
continued. 1.-THE Legislature would
not find it's work hampered during
the closing days of the session by the
necessity of disposing of large &C
cumulation Of local bills"

THE WINNING OF THE WAR
BY j. E. Jones

Washington, d. c., August 23-
David Lloyd George of England said,
in 1917: This war, like the next
war, is a war to end war" His pro-
phecy proved to be better than that
of Woodrow Wilson who, in a mes
sage to Congress, declared: This is
the eliminating and final war for
human liberty" The beliefs express
ed by our present partners in Britain,
Russia, China and elsewhere, often
conflict as badly as the views of
those of Lloyd George and Woodrow
Wilson.
There is a general agreement in
Washington that Italy and Germany
are already whipped but the ques-
lions involved in unconditional sur
render" and the defeat of the great
Axis Nations are voiced in confused
opinions and predictions by men who
control the destinies of our own, and
other, governments. Some ave
hopes of the war ending this year,
but Secretary of the Navy Knox has
not revised the prediction he made a
few weeks ago that some of the wars
perhaps the one in the Pacific
will last It'll 1919.
There is a little more steadiness
of action on the Home Front this
month. A fifty-page report on the
food situation was filed with Secre-
tary of Agriculture Claude r. Wick
ard, few days ago and the report
vigorously assaulted the failure to
establish worldwide food program.
1t is no news to anyone-from house
wives to Generals and Admirals-
that the food program has been in a
state of confusion. Nevertheless, the
situation has improved, simply be-
cause the administrators of food
have learned a lot by bitter exper-
fences. There is also encouraging
evidence of more practical rationing
of other necessities-includi gas
oline and oil.
Manpower Chief McNutt's reasons
for drafting fathers are disputed by
industrial leaders who insist that
the shortage of labor in defense
plants is practically non-existant.
There is no serious drop in war pro-
duction, but most of the troubles
have concerned a shortage of some
raw materials, and difficulties about
ALLEGATIONS. The incentive in favor
of thrift and national economy will
be recognized, shortly.
Leaders of the armed forces on
land, sea and air, come closer to
thinking alike than all others
those men not only expect to make
peace in Berlin, but they also ex-
pect to cut Germany into small pieces
and thereby prevent another world
war. How about the Japs? Well,
the papers few days ago contained
the news that Allied planes blasted
10 Japanese aircraft on August IT.
That is a good beginning of the end

Sweaters should be examined &C.
casionally for thin places, particu-
larly the elbows and the underarm
sections, and reinforced before they
wear through or before the thread
breaks. Weak places in the thread
where stitches may drop should like
wise be noted and caught with
matching sewing thread. One
dropped stitch can be replaced with
a chain stitch without being notice
able, if fastened inconspicuously on
the wrong side. Ladder runs, SIM
liar to those in hose, can be re-
paired with a crochet hook. Latch
needles, however, which are used
for stockings, are too fine for sweat
er yarns.

LEWIS SEEKS CONTROL

John l.. Lewis's "fondest hope" is
to control the production, process
ing, transportation and distribution
of food in this country" P. c. Tur-
ner of Baltimore, Md, president of
the Interstate Farmers Council,
charged.
"Mr. Lewis is now making direct
moves into each of these fields" Mr..
Turner said, land If he were ever
successful in his ambitious scheme
not only the farmers but the consum-
ers of the country would be at his
mercy"
Mr.. Turner was addressing the
annual meeting of the West Virginia
Farm Bureau at Clarksburg, w Va.
The council he heads is made up Of
80 farm cooperatives and farm or
ganizations in Pennsylvania, Della
ware, Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia with combined member
ship of more than 100000.
Declaring that farmers must and
will solve their problems through
their own farm organizations, Mr..
Turner said that farmers do not OPP
pose labors right to organize but
that they do oppose mixing farmers
and labor in one organization for
in the long run this would mean the
weakening of both. In a set-up such
as Mr.. Lewis where the
farmers are a division of District SO
which in turn is division of United
Mine Workers-it would mean build
ing one group at the enpense of the
other" he added.

WHEN AXIS BOMBED CLUTCHES
OF ALLIES

The destruction of churches and
monumental buildings by the Nazis
and Italian Fascists has run into
tremendous figures. The Office OF
War Information, the last week in
July, 1913, put out statistics show
ing that in Great Britain alone more
than 1890 churches, monasteries
and other religious buildings have
been damaged or destroyed by Axis
bombs On the list are 400 churches
and of these, twenty-five were de-
signed by the noted Sir Christopher
Wren.
The Cathedrals of Canterbury and
Liverpool were damaged, while Gov
entry, considered by many experts
to have been one of the most exqui-
site of early Gothic churches, was
demolished save for part of it's walls
near the chancel that were left
standing.
In Scotland no less than III
churches have been hit by Nazl
bombs and seven of these were de-
stroyed.
From Holland comes word that
five large churches in Rotterdam
were destroyed by air attacks and
churches were bombed in Delzigl
Rhenen and Vlissingen.
In Norway, the Nazis made air
attacks on all the churches in Krit-
iansand, Steinjaer, Molde, Namsus,
and Bodoe.
More than 1000 churches have
been bombed in Poland with nearly
every church in Warsaw either dam
aged or completely destroyed.
The Greeks have charged that the
Italians destroyed the historic church
of st. Sophia of the Greek Ortho-
dox Church. This church is said to
he the oldest in Christendom.
Belgium has likewise had its full
share of destruction by the Nazis.
Churches in the vicinity of Liege,
Kassel and Antwerp were destroyed
by bombing. The cathedral of Toug-
mai was reported ruined by fire.
In Manila, the Japanese have de-
stroyed or damaged historic Catholic
churches.
Since the railroad yards in Rome
were bombed by American planes
using precision daylight bombing, a
big cutlery has gone up from the Axis
countries and from the Roman Cath
Ollie Hierarchy in the United States.
But there are many persons in the
United Nations countries asking,
why didn't the Pope voice protest
when the Axis was wrecking the
many churches listed above? Now
that bohbing has reached the city OF
Rome, he seems to have the same
selfshness that is Unborn in all hui
man nature.
According to the newspapers, there
is an endeavor to build up senti-
ment for the United Nations to re-
build the one lone church that was
damaged in Rome.
