Absentee Ballot
Requests 5,623, {
OCOnOr Reveals
Liberal Provisions Of State
Law Indicate Large Vote.
He Predicts

Assurance of mounting interest
in the November election among
Maryland's men and women in the
armed forces is afforded by the
number of applications for alb
sentee ballots that have been re-
ceived up to the present time,
Governor Herbert R. O'Conor de
clared here today.
With additional applications
coming in every day, total of
5,623 already has been recorded al
the office Of the Secretary of
State, the Governor made known.
applications are almost evenly
divided between residents of Balti
more city and the counties. The
applications showing Baltimore
city residence total 2,855 and those
from the residents of the counties
total 2,768. 4
"The legislation sponsored by
the administration and passed at
the recent emergency session of
the General Assembly promises to
bring out a percentage Of absentee
votes in Maryland comparable to
that of any other State in the
country, l am fully confident
Governor O'Conor declared.
"The provisions are as liberal as
it was possible to make them. !
anticipate particularly large re-
sponse from that group Of young
men and women qualified by the
provisions of the 1914 Act.
"With the applications already
in hand, / foresee total of re-
quests that will be amazingly large
when one considers the difficulties
under which voting must neces-
sarily be handled, as well as the
many other considerations that
would tend to take the minds OF
our absent citizens off the matter
of elections.
"This is as it should be. No one
mas better right to help choose the
officials who will govern the State
and nation during the next four
years than the men who are out
there offering their lives for the
nations safety. 1t is to be hoped
that very high percentage Of the
172, ,O00Marylanders who are in the
armed services will help by their
ballot to keep alive the traditional
rights and privileges of American
citizenry"

America needs awakening in the
subject of conservation of her nat
ural resources if it is to feed the
world or it's own people he said.
DR.. Truitt implored the women
to come to the rescue of the State
conservation law which, he says,
is in danger of being wiped oft
the books by the next Legislature
unless the politicians can be made
to see that the crab will, like the
passenger pigeon, become extinct
if it is not protected. Shad too,
are becoming scarce.

Although the budget is slightly

Ambulance Service Denied
Last week, as the result of an
automobile accident, near Bethes-
da, an injured child was reported
not to have been removed to hos
pital for care for 80 minutes fol-
lowing the accident and as a re-
suit the County Commissioners
have been asked to establish an
emergency ambulance service to be
operated at County expense for the
Bethesda community.
This was denied, the commiss
toner's pointing out that if emer-
gency hospital service were fur
nished for the Bethesda commun-
ity, similar service would also have
to be furnished for each section OF
Montgomery County. This would
mean the purchase, location, quart
ers, operation, payment and ar
rangement of personnel, for six or
more publicly owned ambulances
so that an ambulance could be
available in each community OF the
County for emergency calls. The
installation of such a service
would result in a large and contin-
uing expense which the County
Commissioners 40 not feel justified
at this time in undertaking.
