Current Comment

We Americans have had to learn
a lesson in modern warfare. The
Japs surrendered with their hands
in the air and, as soon as they were
ordered by American officers to
lower them, they pulled off hand
grenades on a belt cord, tossed them
without warning among their cap
tors. Now we don't bother to make
them as prisoners.

Selected Poem

CREATURES
Frances Frost In The Christian Science Monitor
In patterns lovely and precise
the creatures Of the brown earth go:
the night hawk breasts the twilight air,
through shadow drifts the tawny doe.
The chipmunk like blowing leaf,
the small frog at the Watery shoot,
the thrush upon the singing bough,
the rabbit gnawing apple root
innocent and exact they breathe.
Their simple destiny Is where
beautiful and wild their hearts
beat on the earth or on the air.

making public statistics showing. it
said. that the 48 States are supplying
men to the armed forces in ratios
surprisingly" close to their per-
centage of registrants.
At the same time. the District led
the Nation with a percentage of
1889 of its total registrants in the
number of deferrables on the
grounds of mental, moral and
physical reasons, the Owl said. In
this classification, Louisiana was
second with 1249 per cent. California
third with 1l.29 per cent. and
Georgia fourth with Ills per cent.

With 066 per cent of the Nations

plying 065 per cent of all the fight
ing men in the armed services, owl
said. OF its general total, the Dis
trict has 378 per cent of it's total
registrants deferred for occupitional
reasons, 45.l2 per cent for depend
ency, 30.38 per cent are married,

Maryland House Votes
Montgomery Bill TO
Meet Postwar Needs
Public Works Expansion
Proposal Opposed by
Civic Organizations

A bill that would give the Mont
gomery County Commissioners a
free hand in meeting war and post
war problems is among four bills
which have been passed by the
Maryland House of Delegates and
are now before the State Senate.
The measure provides for post
wal construction or improvement
and expansion of municipal public
works and gives the commissioners
authority to meet other post or war
needs.
It also would give the commits
sioners broad powers to issue bonds
and would revoke the usual bond
refunding provision, allowing bonds
to be refunded without special ac-
ton by the Legislature.
Opposed by Civic Groups.
The bill has been severely criti-
cized by the Greater Kensington
Civic League and by other civic
groups in the county
The county commissioners are
authorized by another measure to
designate certain areas in the NTH,
seventh, tenth and thirteenth elec-
ton districts as special suburban
improvement districts. The meas
ure empowers the county commits
sioners to declare improvement dis
tricts wherever 10 or more residen-
tial development lots have been
filed In plat form with the county
commissioners.
After designation as improve
ment districts. the construction
maintenance, operation and repair
of improvements would be admin
istered by district council for the
Montgomery County suburban dis
trict.
Authority for Taxes.
The commissioners are empow-
cred to tax assessable real and per-
sonal property within special dis
tricts to pay for construction OF
street lighting systems. sidewalk
pavements and road grading.
Another bill would repeal the law
on appointment of additional dep
uty sherif1s.
The fourth bill provides for ap-
pointment by each OF three trial
magistrates of a clerk to be paid
81 500 annually. The sheriff of
Montgomery would be authorized to
appoint three deputies, one for each
trial magistrate court, at $500 an
nually. Deputies would be paid an
additional $500 annually for trans
portation costs.
Senate passage of the four bills
is certain, it was said.

Block Leaders Hear
Point Ration Plan
Told in Alexandra
Virginia OPA Official
Reveals Sovines in
Turning Out Books

The 10000 600 ration books print
ed for use in point rationing of
foods contain more stamps than
have been printed by the United
States Post Office in the past -
years, Mrs. Emma Gray Trigg of the
Virginia State Office of Price Ad-
ministration told Alexandria block
leaders yesterday She added that
by using paste instead of metal clips
to bind the pages together, IS tons
Of steel has been saved.
Speaking to a group of approxi-
mately 400 women who crowded the
Corporation Courtroom, Mrs. Trigg
explained the point system to mem
bers of the city's block plan" or
ganization so that they may educate
their neighbors in the new pro-
cedure before rationing goes into
effect March l.
Point Values to Be Posted.
Point values of foods will be posted
in all food stores but will not be
announced until processed foods are
frozen on February % in order to
prevent boarding of products with
high point values, she said.
Books will be issued at schools
during the week of February 22-28,
and War Ration Book No. ! muss
be presented in order to get War
Ration Book No. 2.
Before Mrs. Trigg spoke, Miss
Mary Marks of the State Once of
Civilian Defense addressed the
meeting, telling the block leaders
that they constituted shoe
leather information bureau who
will visit their neighbors not as
shoppers but to help them under
stand and cooperate in Government
regulations designed to aid the war
effort on the home front.
Schools Prepare for Job.
Although final plans have not
been completed, the Alexandria
schools will take the responsibility
for issuing war ration book No. 2,
according to an announcement by
L. G. Williams, superintendent Of
schools.
To avoid closing schools for the
entire week of February %, Mr..
Williams is hopeful of finding
enough volunteers to do the ration
ing work for the first three days of
the week, thereby allowing the
teachers to continue with their reg
ular duties. Teachers would assume
the job Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday and schools would be closed
for the last two days of the week.
Registration hours probably will be
from to 9 pm.
