Her second tip is to use vaseline

RECENT DAYLIGHT ALERTS
AND BLACKOUT TESTS

The Blackout test on Tuesday, the
18th, and Daylight Alert on Fri
day, the 18th, were successful in
the main, but they revealed certain
conditions which require better CO.
operation between the general pub
lie and those entrusted with their
safety.
In a number of instances, lights
were found burning in homes where
the occupants were either not at
home or would not respond. The
public is again requested to see that
all lights are extinguished in their
homes when they have to be away,
and there is no one at home to turn
off the lights when test takes
place.
Some people, but only few,
seem to resent the Wardens' and
Auxiliary Policies request to turn
out lights, to get off the streets, or
to stop their cars. These people
must realize that the public spirited
citizens engaged in Civilian Defense
as Wardens or Police, etc., are per-
forming these duties in the inter-
ests of the safety Of the people of
the County, and this, without pay.
They get their orders from the Of
fee of Civilian Defense in Washing
ton; they do not make them them
selves. They are performing a pa
triotic duty and when they request
cooperation it is the duty of every
citizen to respond. AS one of the
Senior Wardens expresses the mat
ter in his report:
Another thing I would like to
suggest for the newspapers is
that when the Wardens have to re-
mind some person to cooperate, the
instructions given did not originate
from the Warden but that the War
den is only doing his duty in serv-
ing as a part of the Civilian De-
fenes system. Evidently, some peo-

l943 Poultry Yearbook

The Yearbook of the Maryland
State Poultry Council is just off
the press. 1t is the biggest and best
Yearbook the Council has ever pub
lished, according to DR.. Morley A.
JUL, head of the poultry department
at the University of Maryland.
1t should be secured, he states,
by every poultry producer interested
as patriotic duty in helping Mary
land meet the 1943 quotas of egg
and poultry production in the war
effort.
The 1943 Yearbook is full of
practical information of value to
beginners, small flock owners, farm
ers, and commercial poultrymen.
The information given should go a
long way toward helping in the
state produce an increased supply
of eggs and poultry meat more eff1-
GENTLY and with greater profit
than ever before.
Members of the poultry depart
ment staff at the University con-
tributed many practical articles to
the Yearbook, and also pertinent
information from out-of-sta e
sources.
A copy of the book may be OBJ
tanned free by writing Wade H.

pie have a feeling that by cussine
the Wardens they are talking to the
originators of the suggestions and
do not realize that the wardens are
working for their safety in the
event of an actual raid"
There seems to be some confusion
about who can operate a car dur
ing test. This has been explained
in many newspaper articles. Only
automobiles and trucks engaged in
Civilian Defense activities such as
Wardens and Police cars, ambu-
lances, public utility vehicles, and
public utilities, may operate under
test or actual raid conditions, and
they must display the CD. pen
nants on the front and rear. Per-
sons working in Defense Plants
whether in private automobiles or
buses must stop during tests. Only
Army conveys and the Military ac-
tually in service are exempt.
EXTRA GASOLINE
Persons engaged in the Civilian
Defense services can get necessary
gas for the performance of their
duties by applying to the Rationing
Board for Supplemental Form,
which must be certified to by the
Chief Air Raid Warden Some per-
sons have complained about War
Plants and the Bainbridge Naval
Station not blacking out for the full
duration of the test These installa-
ions were only required to apply for
a period of at least five minutes dur
ing tests. This is necessary in the
interest of production.
We have come to the time now
when the giving of warnings will
have to cease. If persons are negli-
gent and refuse to cooperate then
prosecutions must follow. This
should not be necessary.

Gasoline Rationing
Brings Decline In
Bridge Tolls

Gasoline rationing and driving
bans show their most visible effects
so far by the reduced highway traf-
fic passing over the Susquehanna
River bridge between Havre de
Grace and Perryville.
The total traffic count on the
toll bridge in November, 1912, was
239,O11. OF this total, 1882 were
passenger cars, while $3.50 were
trucks or other commercial vehicles.
In the same month in 1941, the
total was 310,932, including 254,-
542 passenger cars and $500
trucks and busses.
The total for December, 1912,
was 1876, $40 vehicles, of which 144,-
433 were passenger cars and 51,-
207 trucks and busses. In December
of the previous year, 287,600 vehicl-
es used the bridge, including 231,-
5O4 passenger cars and 56,096
trucks busses.
For the first, 15 days Of this
month, however, the total count
was S5,7S3, including 62,429 pas

MARYLAND
WHEAT $1.5O
PER BUSHEL

Maryland wheat grown under the
Agricultural Adjustment Agency's
1912 program and placed last sum-
mer in farm or warehouse storage
under Commodity Credit Corpora
ton loans is now being sold by
many farmers at wide margin of
profit over July, 1912, prices and at
an additional profit over their loans
Maryland wheat is now bringing
$3.50 per bushel, compared with an
average price of SLOT per bushel
paid during the 1912 harvest.
Growers have until April 30th, to
liquidate their wheat loans. On that
date all wheat under loan and not
sold becomes the property of the
Commodity Credit Corporation
which will take all profit or losses
after that time.
Joseph H. Blandford, chairman of
the Maryland Agricultural Conser-
vation Committee, said that the
profit Maryland farmers are making
on their wheat is especially signi-
ficant in view of the nations pres
ent wheat surplus, which is the
greatest of all time.
Farmers desiring at this time to
sell their wheat and liQuidate their
loans are directed to notify their
dealer or commission broker, who
will sell the wheat, pay off the loan
and remit the difference to the
farmer.

duced to IL &c for 1943 by appli-
cation of moneys from the State sur
