preparing to 20 to the polls.
Upon your decision will rest
the future of our Nation and
yes, the world.
1t is well we look at the past
"a years divided into two
periods Of IL years each. The
first period you will recall
from Harding to Hoover. War
rem Harding took Office on
March 4. 1921. His campaign
slogan was back to normal

a weasel-sOrt of way, catering
to the Observation-Disclosures, he
came out for some interna-
tionaI arrangement to retain
peace, after repudiating the
efforts of Pres. Wilson to es-
tablish an instrument to main
tain world peace.
At the time Harding took Office
the labor movement had something
more than three million members.
But labor was soon to learn what
''back to normalcy" meant. A ma
tion-wide drive on labor standards
began, forcing wages downwards.
A number of unions were Destroy

He Immediately took steps 10 sta

program; adopted a system that
brought states into line TO inaugur-

The Industrial Recovery Act, Sec

right TO organize without interfer-
ence. This made possible the organ

ministra;ion the Miners Union has
reached It's greatest numerical
strength. The rule Of the gunman,

Court 1t was followed by the NLRB

President Roosevelt advocated the
enactment Of the Guffey Coal Act

things for which labor had strug-
gled for many many years. He sta

WAR COMES
This program was continuing in
healthy stride when our nation was
foully attacked by the japanese at
Pearl Harbor, and later war was
declared upon us by Hitler and
Mussolini. Through the foresight
Of Pres. Roosevelt our nation was
well on Its way to converting us

He had recommended the arrnins
OF the Islands In the Pacific: pro-
posed lend-lease to those opposing
the forces Of fascism and nazism:
advocated and brought about Sc
lective Service and Its renewal
which was just barely passed by
Congress. He advocated the en-.

velt's administration and pledging

Retention of the unions no-strike

Sacramento convention, was decided
as the delegates voted to postpone
action on two resolutions on the
question until the next convention.
President Worth Lowery ruled that.
"A a result, the Sacramento pledge
would continue as the policy Of the

Is changed.
Delegates voted to instruct the

union, pointing out that employers
have not made any pledges and, in

Board Fears Reductions
Would Hit Farm Roads

Inc FarfaX County Board of Sill
pervisors yesterday voted opposi-
tlon to any cut in ALLEGATIONS for
highway construction and disap-
proved proposal to reduce State
auto license fees to a nat IS.
w. Frank Smith, State resident
nlgnway engineer, told board men,
oers that any reductions in funds
Tor highway construction now would
be reflected in the secondary road
systems Immediately following the
war.
Primary Roads Get Priority.
Mr.. Smith said that primary
roads in the State always will be
taken care OF first, even if farmers
nave to use chains to get out of
the mud and onto these roads.
He added that while every one is
interested In tax reductions, the
state Highway Department felt
that reduced road ALLEGATIONS at
this time would be unwise. While
construction projects may not be
carried on now, he explained, there
will be a vast need for such prof
ects Immediately after the war.
At the request of DR.. S. D. Gard
ner Of the State Health Depart.
ment, the board tentatively set ur
In its budget the same amount for
the County Health Department as
was allocated last year, although
personnel reductions indicate less
money will be needed.
Plans to Return Funds.
DR.. Gardner explained that while
the full budget would be set up
unused funds would be returned to
the county. The county health
budget last year was $3.50.
DR.. Nelson Podolnick, county
health officer, reported IA cases OF
rabies in the county since January
l. He added that some deaths" in
livestock have been reported from
the disease.
DR.. Podolnick said 589 cases OF
influenza, 36 of pneumonia and one
OF undulant fever have been report
ed this month.
Lewis Coyner, county treasurer
reported 78 per cent of the county
levy has been collected, leaving q
per cent due between now and June
80. The board authorized the
Finance Committee to investigate
possibilities of investing a $92, ,00C
building fund, which will not be
used until after the war.
The board called a special meet
ing for Monday to discuss negotia-
tions with the Federal Works
Agency with regard to the sewe,
project now being constructed and
to discuss tentative requests from
county agencies for budget funds.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 20.-The prob

critical teacher shortage, was studied
today by the Legislative Council in
the wake of proposals that some
remedy be considered at a special
Legislative session.
Superintendents of county schools

idly worsening conditions in the

asked for consideration of a special
session to continue the $2O-per-

The bonus, provided by a 1943
session act, will end April 30. Su-
perintendents told the council they
were sure that many more teacher
designations would ensue if the pay
ments were not continued. The
council also learned the following
facts:
One first-grade class in Anne
Arundel County already has had Is
different teachers this school year;
more than 100 persons not certified
