MEMORIAL DAY

Tuesday next, May 30, is Memoir
ial Day. Following custom that is
observed by every community, loving
tribute will be paid to the departed
by the decoration of graves with
flags and flowers.
In the beginning, Memorial Day
was designed as an institution that
would bring once year the nation S
acknowledgment of it's debt to its
fallen defenders. 1t quickly outdrew
it's original design. 1t had in it an
appeal that was universal. 1t has
come to be day on which the Amer
lean people pay the tribute OF love
and memory to all their dead. There
need be no fear that Memorial Day
will ever fall into disuse. There is
scarcely a man in all the land who
would not be outraged at even sug-
gestion of it's abandonment. 1t will
endure and it will be honored and
observed as long as the nation shall
keep a place among the peoples OF
the earth. It's universally makes il
secure.

Small Defects Often
Retard Child DEVELOPMENT

Many great men and women
oVercame their physical defects
and made their mark on the pages
of history. Blind and speechless,
Helen Keller graduated from col
lege. Thomas A. Edison was deaf,
and Charles P. Steinmetz, another
electrical wizard, was hunchback.
The publisher of one of Americas
leading magazines is a sufferer,
finding it difficult to carry on a
smooth flow of conversation when
excited. The President of the United
States, with remarkable determi-
nation, overcame the handicaps
visited upon him by an attack of in
fantile paralysis in middle life.
Because of the many great per-
sonages who have achieved success
full careers in spite of great handi-
caps, there are some who say that
minor physical defects are rela-
lively unimportant. That is not
always correct, it is asserted. For
example, studies made by psychol-
ogists among school children dis
close that uncorrected visual de-
fects in youngsters tend to make
them shy and slow in adjusting
themselves in work and play with
others. Some social Investigators go
so far as to say that uncorrected
shortcomings in sight may be an
important factor in juvenile de-
linquency.
While it is true that persons with
unusual intelligence, vitality and
courage can rise far above their
fellows, despite physical defects, it
also appears that in the average
person correction of shortcomings,
when possible, will facilitate his
earning a living and improve his
ability to become a useful member
of society.

JUNE FLUSH" IN ICE CREAM

Because of the huge production
of milk in May and in the June
flush" the War Food Administrative
is easing regulations accordingly, so
that while it is available manufacture
ers of frozen dairy foods can use
more milk for making such products
as ice cream and sherbets. During
these two months about 10 million
gallons more ice cream-enough to
fill from 400 million to 450 million
more ice cream cones-will be made
than during May and June last year.
And to million gallons more of
other frozen dairy products can be
expected.
For the same reason--the excep-
tionally heavy milk production this
spring dealers also may sell more
cream, cottage cheese, buttermilk,
and chocolate drink these two
months. Unlike ice cream, the cream
will not be any richer than it has
been, but at least the milkman will
be able to sell to housewives cream
enough for the familys coffee and
cereal--as much as they sold last
June, to be exact. Last June was
record consumption month. In recent
months sales of these products have
had to be limited to rs percent of
June 1943 quantities.
Limitation on ice cream manufac-
ture and sales of cream, cottage
cheese, and other products were de-
sigend to help channel more milk
into butter, American cheese milk
powder and evaporated milk. The ice
cream limitation alone, says WA,
has conserved enough butter thus far
to supply each civivlian almost
pound more butter than he might
otherwise have had

ANTHRACITE AND BITUMlNOUS
COAL,

Maximum dollars and cents prices
for anthracite and bituminous coal
delivered to consumers and sold at
dealers yards in Howard, Carroll,
Hartford and Cecil counties, and des-
ignated portions of Baltimore and
Anne Arundel counties in the State
of Maryland have been announced
by Leo II. Mccormick, District OPA
Director. The order effective May %,
was signed by Daniel P. Woolley Re-
gional OPA Administrator. This is
the second such order issued for ar
cas- in the State of Maryland.
OPA described the order as an i'm
portant step in implementing the
present price control policy of pro-
tecting the consumer and aiding the
trade by establishing prices which
are easily understood, and which can
be effectively enforced through con-
sumner cooperation and dealer under
standing. In general, the new price
schedule converts present ceiling
prices into dollar and cents prices.
Five zones are set up on the order,
as follows:
Zone one-Anne Arundel County
except election district five
Zone two-Howard County.
Zone three-Carroll County and
election districts 4, 5, and of Bal
timore County.
Zone four-Harford County and
election districts z, s, 10 and IL of
Baltimore County
Zone five-Cecil County.
The applicable prices, authorized
charges and required discounts,
from which dealers shall determine
their maximum prices designated
kinds, sizes and quantities of coal
| delivered within zones 1, 2, 8, 4, and
s., are set forth in Schedules l. 2, 3,
4 and 5, respectively, in the Order.
In these zones, maximum prices
have been fixed for three classes of
sales-sales delivered to consumers,
sales at dealers yards to consumers,
and sales at dealers yards to other
dealers for re-sale-for Pennsylvania
anthracite, Virginia anthracite and
high and low volatile bituminous.
| Every dealer subject to tbs Order
| is required to post his prices. Dealers
may, of course, sell below maximum
prices, OPA said

proper place in the postwar aviation
picture, it is important that we do
our planning now. 1t is now that we
must know what our towns and cities
need and what service and equipment
we can expect to be available to
them. We believe that the delegates

Use Crumbs

Make the most of every crumb
and crust. Dress up your stale bread
by using it in escalloped dishes, in
buildings, or as French toast. For
example, serve French toast just
as you might serve waffles and top
with a syrup or fruit sauce.
Or, serve French toast for a main
dish with creamed meat or vege-
tables. Remember, too, that dry
bread cubes can be used in escal-
loped dishes and dressings, but
will require little added moisture.
Such cubes also brown nicely for
croutons.

REGULATIONS MODIFIED
HOME CANNING SUGAR

The OPA has modified its sugar
recting the State Office to set UP two
periods in which consumers may ap-
ply for their 1914 home canning al
lotment-which amounts to twenty
pounds per person. In Maryland, the
two periods which have been set are
from May 1 through July 81, and
from August l through October Is.
This change limits the amounts con-
sumers may obtain in the first per-
iod-May 1 through July 31-to ten
pounds per person. In the second per-
iod-August 1 through October ID
all consumers who need additional
rations may obtain more sugar fol
home canning purposes; this addi-
tional amount not to exceed 10
pounds per person.
This action was necessary. OPA
Rationing Officials explained, because
an unusually large number of appli-
cations have been made thus far for
the full twenty pounds of sugar per-
person allotted for home canning,
even in areas where no fresh fruit is
available The establishment of two
periods for the issuance of home can
ming sugar has been taken as a pre-
cautionary measure to guarantee
sufficient sugar to meet all home
canning needs, and to spread out pur-
chases throughout the growing sea-
son so that possible maldistribution
of sugar at later date in the sum-
mer will not result in crop spoilage.
