Educational Oppor-
tunities For
Veterans

Plans to afford educational op-
portunities to returning veterans are
already under way in Maryland, Gov
ernor Herbert r. O'Conor has an
nounced.
Maryland's final program will be
determined following further meet
ings of three nationwide organiza-
tions, composed of leading educators
throughout the United States. These
organizations are the National Coun-
ell of Chief State School Officers, the
American Vocational Association and
the State Directors of Vocational Ed
ucatlon. Recent assemblies have been
held by these organizations at which
Postwar Education for returning
Veterans was principal topic of dis
cussions.
The Maryland Department has al
ready issued a booklet entitled
Planning a Postwar Educational
Program for Maryland Particular
emphasis is placed upon the future
of vocational educational. After
stating that the vast number, whose
status has been dislocated by the
war, have become vocational-minded
the Maryland plan sets forth the need
Tor supple mentary training so that
these persons will be more compe-
tent to meet future requirements.

Tube Salvage
To Be Voluntary

Purchasers Of tooth paste, shaving
cream and other goods packed in
collapsible metal tubes will not be
required to turn in used tubes before
receiving full ones after March 1, the
War Production Board announced,
Used tubes were chiefly important
for their tin salvage value, the WPB
said. Since the tin content was re-
duced last year, the tubes now being
turned in yield less tin,
The WPB urged that consumers
continue to turn In the used tubes
on voluntary basis after March /,
especially old tubes purchased "a year
or more ago, which have a high sal
wage value.
Meanwhile, the War Food Admini-
stration announced that civilians
have been allocated sixty-nine per
cent of this seasons supply of COM
mercial jams, jellies, marmalades
and FRUIT butter.
This quantity, the VIA said, is
enough to fill consumer demands un-
der current ration-point values.
The armed forces will get twenty
seven per cent, with the remainder
going to Allied nations and to other
foreign areas.

Seizures By
State Police
In 1913

A report on activities of the Mary
land State Police during 1943 shows
that 3,416 criminal arrests were
made in comparison with 2,031 for
the preceding year.
This represented an increase of
68.1 per cent, said Governor O.Con-
or. Criminal complaints referred to
the department totalled 567, as
against 4S7 for 1912.
Last year 642 cars, valued at
$344,692, were recovered by the
State Police, while in 1912 the value
of 338 automobiles recovered was
$181,472.
The Governor said that last year
the department broke up several
automobile theft rings, one of which
stole at least lightweight automo-
biles. Four men were picked up and
subsequently convicted, he added.
Governor O'Conor declared that
last year saw twenty per cent re-
duction in fatal accidents and a 80
per cent reduction in all accidents,
due to the decrease in motor vehicle
operation.
The Governor also said that traffic
work had been increased, as evidenc=
ed by the fact that the State police
handled 1903 conveys for the army
and S72 escorts for explosives on the
highways,

Special Session
OF Legislature
May Be Held

A special session of Maryland's
Legislature to revise the election
laws to permit the States service
men and women to vote in the forth
coming Presidential contest is re-
garded as inevitable by influential
Democratic leaders. The only ques-
ton is: When?
In all probability, they agree, the
call for the special session must
await Congress and the adoption of
some general national method for
providing that the ballots furnished
by the States reach the hands of
those entitled to vote.
Until such steps are taken, it was
pointed out, it would be virtually
impossible for the State Law Depart
ment to draft legislation that would
conceivably cover every contingency
that might arise in the transmission
and return of ballots.

bors, are praying it ends soon and
those fighting boys of yours will
come home safely.
But will you be ready for what
ever happens when peace comes?
Will you have something laid away?
We're all hoping there'n be jobs
aplenty, jobs which mean making
something for somebody's happi-
ness and not for somebody's sor-
row. That's where your War Bonds
come into the picture. Sure, Amer
leans own billions of dollars of War
Bonds now; and before this 4th War
Loan ends they will have put away
billions more. But how about you?
You're the one that counts. The
bigger the pile of War Bonds you
have when peace comes, the big
ger chance you'll have to slip right
into the postwar world you're
dreaming about tonight.
