OPA To Probe
Shore Rentals

Complaints of rent increases in
Worcester County, in one instance
involving a boost from $40 to 500 a
month, have inspired an OPA survey
to determine whether the area-one
of Maryland summer vacation play
grounds-shall be put under rent
control, Lucien e. Du Gaudreau,
state rent director, announced.
"Most of the complaints have come
from Ocean City and Pocomoke
City," Mr.. Gaudreau said. 1T is too
early, yet, to say whether it is sea-
sonal increase tanned to profit from
the vacation trade. Our survey will
try to determine that
tThe complaints have been wide
spread and from many sources, so
that we are forced to investigate.
We would be reluctant ii place the
region unedr control, but will be
forced to do SO if it becomes neces-
sary to check imitation tendencies.
Our findings after the survey will
be forwarded to Washington for re-
view, and the control, if any, will be
imposed from Washington.

SEVERE ELECTRIC
STORM DISRUPTS
WIRE SERVICE

Saturday was day of sweltering
heat, the mercury climbing up into
the nineties. At night a severe cleo
trio storm swept over this section, ac-
companied by a heavy rain. The
storm was not brief one, but lasted
several hours, and extended over a
large area. Lightning did great deal
of damage, especially to telephone
and light service.
Between ten and eleven o'clock a
high tension wire snapped and fell
to the ground at the foot of Cherry
Street Rising Sun firemen were soon
at the scene and kept people out of
harms way, until lineman could be
notified and the wire cut. The live
wire, some fifty or sixty feet in
length, stretched along the road and
blazed and sputtered for nearly half
an hour before the lineman, who was
out on trouble near Woodlawn, could
be located. No damage was done to
any nearby property, but the section
of town on the circuit of the broken
wire was without electric service for
hours.

Less Gasoline
For Car
Driving
Nine Per Cent Cut Is
Made To Allow More
For Farm Use

Contrary to rumors of more
plentiful supply of gasoline, the al
location to the OPA for distribution
for April, May and June is nine per
cent less than that provided for the
previous three month period. The re-
auction occurred when demands for
agricultural purposes increased, the
OPA pointed out.
This Office is concerned regarding
impressions gained by an appreciable
number of citizens relative to the
available supply of gasoline, fuel oil
and tires, Unfortunately, many per-
sons have misinterpreted recent ar
ticles relative to this matter, while
in other cases the statements made
were misleading in their origin and
intent
1T is advisable to again call to
attention the fact that the OPA mas
no control over matter of production
or supply" the statement continued,
but is charged with responsibility
of rationing certain commodities
when so requested and required by
the government agency having con-
troll. Every effort is made to ration
on as equitable basis as possible.
Military requirements must be
given first consideration. All Ameri-
cans realize we are engaged in the
greatest struggle in the history OF
the world in an attempt to preserve
the principles upon which their ma
ton was founded Military needs
should be first fulfilled. If any short
age exists, it must be in the commod-
tiles remaining for civilian use."

simplifed
Income
Tax Plan
1t Will Take Effect By
Peacemeal---Higher
Taxes For Some

The income tax simplification plan
will take effect piecemeal.
You won't feel it entirely until
next year, but the changes it makes
will effect all your 1914 income
and your 1914 taxes.
For some persons, this will mean
higher taxes than expected; for 9TH
ers, it may spell refunds. =
What happened?
Congressman wanted to forestall
a repetition of the complicated tax
blanks we all had to fill out last.
March. So they yielded on their ear
lier determination that after pay-as-
you-go- started, there wouldn't be
any more retroactive tax bills.
They wanted your tax return to be
simple, so they made the new rates
apply to this years entire income.
But because they didn't want to
complicate things further, they de-
cided to let other parts of the plan
go into effect with the start of next
year.
The net result was this division of
effective dates:
1. Effective when President Roose-
welt signs the bill (and retroactive
to last Jan. 1)-Rates and methods
of taxation, including new exemp-
lions and the Standard deduction.
2. Effective next Jan Ways of
paying; that is, new Withholding
sch nduIoc docionod IN mt tbo ont;ra
income from wages and salaries up
to $4,000 on pay-as-you-go, and new
regulations ON declarations of esti-
mated tax flor those who still won't
be covered in full by withholdings
from pay.
Then the Congressman fixed a
third point. The date for final pay
ment of estimated tax along with
final amendment of years declara-
ton (also annual declarations from
farmers } was changed from Dec. Is
to Jan. 15 NJ
Inmates. So if you're paying on a dec
laration, you'll have an extra month
to meet the final installment.
When the final 1914 returns come
due next March, single persons may
find themselves owing perhaps SIS
more than expected, and childless
married couples up to around $50
more for 1914 taxes-except where
this may be offset by the new stan
dard deduction of 10 per cent of in
come Cor $500 if income is over
$4,000.
Married couples with one depen-
dent will come out about the same;
taxpayers with more than one depen-
dent may find their taxes somewhat
lower.

County Poultry
men Praised

Cecil County poultrymen are ask
ed by the government to produce ap-
proximately 1,336,313 dozen eggs
this year as their part in the Food
for Victory program, the National
Poultry Defense Committee an
nounces.
This county goal can best be reach
ed if housewives take full advantage
of the present egg surplus and plan
more menus calling for greater use
of eggs, thus encouraging farmers
to maintain high production, declar-
ed Committee Secretary Leon Todd.
In urging poultrymen to meet the
1914 quota, Todd pointed out the
current egg abundance may be fol-
lowed by a serious shortage if farm
ers liquidate some of their laying
fiocks because of inability to dispose
of eggs at profitable prices now.
An aid to producers is the concert
ed effort of distributors to keep the
supply of eggs flowing steadily into
consumer channels as nutritious
wartime food, Todd said, adding that
aggressive merchandising has thus
proved an important factor in in
creasing egg consumption. "For in
stance" he asserted, records of A
& P Food Stores, one of the larger
purchasers of Maryland eggs, show
this company bought 1,664,325 doz-
en- eggs in the state last year, topping
their 1912 purchase by over 80 per
cent and paying Maryland producers
$269,357 more than during the pre-
vions year
Even greater cooperation by dis
tributors and consumers is needed
now the poultry official said, to as
sure farmers profitable market for
their surplus production during the
next few weeks and thus insure that
feast will not be followed by a
famine. Each of us can help" he
concluded, "by eating more eggs dur
ing this period Remember they are
a whole food, complete with pro-
teins, essential vitamins, fats and
minerals

Truck Driver Burned

A colored truck driver was burned
to death in his wrecked truck cab,
Tuesday night of last week, on the
dual highway between North East
and Perryyille.
The truck crashed into Thea rear OF
another tractor-trailer which had
stopped for repairs. 1t is reported
that flares had been set and there
was clear vision on the one-way
lane.
Ihe driver was pinned in the cab
over-engine tractor, and all efforts
to extricate him were in vain, in
spite of his pleading to be taken out
after the wreck caught fire.
There was no Immediate way to
identify the truck as no name was
visible, and the cab was burned to a
crisp. A load of beans in the trailer
was unloaded and saved.

Freight Cars Derailed

Six eastbound freight cars were de-
rallied a short distance west of Quar-
ryville, Pa, early Saturday morning,
May 20. Both tracks of the low grade
railroad were tied UP for about five
hours.
A broken coupler caused the acct
dent. Four of the freight cars went
over the embankment, and the other
two remained on the roadbed.
The front portion of the train was
taken to Thorndale and the other sec
ton to Columbia.
Wreckage was cleared away by
three wrecking crews.

Girls To Conduct
War On Jap Beetles

In keeping with the general trend
to conserve manpower, Talbot coun-
ty agent r. S. Brown has appointed
young women to handle the Japanese
beetle control program in the county
this year instead of young men, as in
former years.
Dorothy Lee Brown has been plac-
ed in charge of the program. She will
be assisted by Kay Renshaw.
The county agent said the young
women's work will include placing
and taking care of traps and distri-
buting them to leasing stations; al
SO distribution, of the Milky White
Disease on county farms. The pro-
gram this year will be similar to that
of 1943, with the exception that
more traps will be available for leas-
ing and fewer will be operated in
towns by the workers.

TRAFFIC ACCI-
DENTS in STATE
SHOW INCREASE

The Maryland Traffic Safety Com
mission in it's monthly report to Gov
ernor O'Conor, reported 1915 traffic
accidents in Maryland during April,
with SO persons killed and 511 in
jured 724 of the accidents with s
killed and 1927 injured occurred in
Baltimore City, and 292 accidents
with % persons killed and 1S4 in
jured occurred in the counties.
Baltimore City reported pedes-
TRANS killed, l person killed in a
two-car collision and l killed in a
collision with street car. This was
reduction of liz under April,
1913. The counties reported 10 pc
destrians killed-S persons killed in
non-collision and fixed object acct
dents and / killed in a grade crossing
accident. This was an increase of
1857 over last year.
During the first four months of
this year there was total of 4,31S
accidents reported, with lit persons
killed and 2,143 injured-an in
crease of approximately 12% in acct
dents, deaths and injuries over the
same period last year. Fatal accidents
were reduced during January and
February, but March and April wiped
out the decrease, and in it's place
showed an increase of 1919 over the
first four months of last year, and
during the first 21 days of May there
were % fatalities reported, a 1907
increase over the same period last
year. This increase coupled with the
March and April increase brings the
record for 1914 up to LA persons
killed, 209o more than were killed
during the same period last year.
The Maryland Traffic Safety Com
mission advises that the gasoline
and tire situation is still acute, and
starts and stops and unnecessary
driving create numerous accident
hazards in addition to intensifying
the acute shortage of these vital ma
terials. They also point out that
there has not been new car of any
description manufactured since 1912,
and that every accident shortens the
life of, or completely removes a car
from our most relied upon transuor-
tation system. Every Driver of Mo-
tor Vehicle is requested to keep this
thought uppermost in mind while us
ing the streets and highways so that
we may preserve the transportation
system that the public and industry
must have to help bring the war to
a speedy and successful conclusion.
The steady increase in accidents,
deaths, and injuries is an indication
that the public is relaxing in it's safe
ty efforts, and that the 95 MPH speed
limit is not being conscientiously OBJ
served. The higher the speed the
greater the accident hazard and the
more severe the accident when it does
occur Remember the war time speed
limit of 35 MPH and use courtesy
with it. Don't be a Hitler or TOTO
on the highways.
