ELKTON-CHILD
ROAD WILL
NOT BE CLOSED


The State Roads Commission has
decided against the closing of the
Elkton-C hilds road which passes
through the Triumph Explosives
Inc, plant area for the duration
holding that "the danger to the pub
lie now does not seem any greater
than it has for the past several
years."
The Board of County Commission
ers had been asked by the TRUMP
concern to have the road closed for
the duration of the war as matter
of safety to the travelling public.
Some of the company's war plant
units are located not great distance
from the road and at least one SER
ious explosion has occurred in the
area.
The petition of the company to
have the road closed brought many
protests as the county board put the
matter up to the state commission
ers.

Save Wild
Water Fowl
Feathers
For Troops Sent
On Expeditions Into
Cold Climates

The War Production Board of the
U. S. Government needs duck and
geese feathers, especially plucked
from the carcasses of wild waterfowl,
since they claim waterfowl feathers
are limiting factor in the determin-
alton Of the number of fighting men
that can be sent into any Arctic cam
paign that may be forthcoming, and
every man sent on these expeditions
into cold climates must have a Sleep
ing bag and flying suits.
Therefore, if you are lucky enough
to hunt wild waterfowl this season,
tell your family that it is their patri-
the feathers which may be disposed
of since the price of wild duck feath-
ers is $.S8 pound and wild geese
feathers $.99 pound, and every
ounce saved will bring you profit
if you desire to sell same. The above
prices were set as ceiling by the
OPA on May Is, 1913.
The Feather Commission House,
1872 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn,
New York, is advertising the pur-
chase of wild geese and wild duck
feathers and If person wishes to
donate the feathers they will pay the
money to cause that the shipper
may name or will mail war savings
samps to you for your shipment.
We request every person who
hunts wild waterfowl in Maryland
this season to save the feathers from
the wild geese and wild ducks which
they kill and either ship to the Fea-
ther Commission House, or deliver to
one of our Regional or District Dep
uty Game Wardens in the counties,
who, in turn, will forward the feath--
ers to the War Production Board foM
Distribution to the proper agency.
The Federal Government states
that the kill of waterfowl during the
season of 1913 should apply enough
feathers for 100000 flying suits,
100000 parkas, or 10000 sleeping
bags, If you will ship the feathers
to DUCKS UNLIMITED, 83 Column
bus Street, Seattle, Washington, they
will be glad to accept same and If
there is any profit derived, the funds
will benefit Ducks Unlimited as that
organization is doing wonderful
work in restoring wild waterfowl
nesting areas in Canada.

Few Ducks Being Bagged

Duck gunners report very few
ducks have been bagged in the upper
Chesapeake Bay area to date. Sports
men in blinds along he bay and its
tributaries all report small bags.
Better luck has been experienced
by gunners shooting from bushwhack
rigs on the SusQuehanna flats, where
q number of canvasbacks, red heads
and black heads have been killed.
Two reasons for the scarcity OF
ducks killed is attributed by hunters
to two facts: the early starting sea-
son this year, and the mild weather.
Reports from Canada indicate that
ducks are just leaving the northern
breeding grounds.

FOOD FIGHTS FOR FREEDOM
The Maryland Council of Defense
has inaugurated the states partici-
patton in the nationwide food fights
for freedom" program.
Governor O'Conor said that in gen.
eral the activity would be handled
through local councils of defense and
county agriculture agents in Balti-
more and the twenty-three counties
of the state.
The detectives of the program,
said the governor, are to familiarize
every consumer with the basic facts
about food, tp implement the nation
wide food goals through the elimina-
ton of wasteful practices, and to i'm
press upon the people the need for
conserving all available foodstuffs.
Maryland's participation in the ma
tional program is under the direction
of w. Frank Roberts, Chairman OF
the Maryland Council of Civilian De-
tense, and DR.. T. B. Symons, Chair
man of the state food committee and
director of the University of Mary
lands agriculture department.
Food is admittedly one of the es-
sential weapons of war;" O'Conor
declared, "and every civilian must
learn and plan Ito utilize this wea-
pom with the same care and precis-
ion with which the armed forces de-
ploy their other offensive resources.
The Governor also lauded the
Farmers for what he termed their
inspiring record in exceeding the
1943 national goals despite such
crippling shortages as manpower and
machinery, as we'll as the damaging
drought which accounted for $685.
00O,O0 loss to the farmers of the
State"
He added that the farmer had
amply demonstrated that the twill
to win fiattens all barriers.
1Civinans can do we'll to follow
this meritorious example in making a
special effort to conserve what the
farmers produces" he continued.
DR.. Symons urged that every effort
be made to produce more food and to
make the gains go further through
careful conservation.
although the initial phase of the
food program is primarily education
AL" he explained, lit is anticipated
that the other phases will continue
throughout the winter, eliminating

and the meeting of farm production
