A. H. O'CONNOR
SPEAKS HERE
Gives Talk to School Pupils in
Afternoon and to Good
Audience at Night
SPONSORED BY ROTARY

The second of series of talks
by prominent speakers was given
Monday evening in the school audi
forum by Arthur H. O'Connor, lee
turer and newspaperman from
Australia. He said Australia wants
peace and a share in international
trade in order to ensure full en-
ployment for her people in the
postwar world. In defining Aus
tralia's objective at the Institute
of Understanding sponsored by the
Smyrna Rotary Club, he said that
Australia was irrevocably commit
ted to support any organization
that might he set up after the war
for the preservation of peace. Aus
tralia, and New Zealand have sent
their men to fight in North Africa,
Greece, Crete, Malaga, France and
Germany, and nearer home in CO.
operation with the Americans, they
have met and defeated the Japan
csc in some of the most bloody
clashes of the war. On the home
front they have produced great
quantities of munitions and food,
going short for all manner of civil
ian goods in order that their own
and the American forces might be
fully provided for. Even clothing
is rationed in Australia. Aware OF
the necessity of claiming down the
Nazis, Australia is more lmmed-
lately concerned with the Japan
csc, whose conquered territories
were within easy striking distance
of her northern shores. Unless they
were rooted out of the Neither
lands. East Indies and their war
making powers utterly destroyed,
there could be no peace for the
Australian people. To safeguard
their special interests they have
brought forth a plan for the crea-
tion of a South Pacific Commission
1lpon which all countries concern
ed, including the United States,
would be represented. His view is
that upon the English-speaking
people of the world would depend
the success or failure of the pro-
posed peace organization. 1t would
be tragic if the British and Amer
leans failed to take the lead in a
movement that might keep future
generations from war and all its
attending evils. He painted an al
Turing picture of Australia in times
of peace, with climate similar to
that of California Much advanced
legislation has been passed with
public utilities belonging to the
people; with Australia and New
Zealand leading the world in social
legislation, it is the greatest pro-
Queer of wool in the world. Ac-
knowledging with gratitude all
that the United States has done for
her under Lend-Lease, it is to be
noted that they have provided us
with goods and services totaling
nearly billion dollars.

March of Dimes
Campaign To Help
Paralysis Victims

DR.. E, |. Baumgartner, Of Oakland,
has been named County Campaign
Director of the annual fund appeal
and March of Dimes to be conducted
January 14-31 in celebration Of the
Presidents birthday by the National
Foundation for Infantilc Paralysis, it
was announced by Basil O'Connor,
president of the organization.
Commenting on the need to rein
force our lines of defense against this
insidious enemy of childhood, DR..
Baumgartner stated, 1.-THE 1914 cpl
demic of infantiIc paralysis was the
second worst outbreak of the disease
in its history in the United States.
Fortunately we were on the alert and
we'll prepared to meet the attack III
all parts of the nation. More than a
million dollars contributed by the
American people were spent by the
National Foundation to provide the
best of care and treatment for all vic
tins of the epidemic. Last year as
result of our drive the local chapter
raised $253.17. This past summer
there were - three eases of infantile
paralysis in Garrett county. These
cases were all hospitalized and eN-
penses were paid by the local chapter.
For hospital care and treatments for
these cases $417.25 was paid out. In
addition $1O0.63 was expended for
shoes and shoe repairs for old cases
This makes a total of $5l788 spent
during the year. Fortunately there
was a balance on hand from previous
years which enabled this expenditure.
At present we have but $l70,44 ON
hand to carry on in 1915.
"Since no one knows where, or how
hard polio may strike in 1915 in Gar
rctt county, we must again be ready
to meet the attack. Participation in
the annual March Of Dimes appeal is
our assurance that no victim Of in
fantile paralysis will 90 uncared for,
regardless of age, race, creed or
color"

l945 LEGISLATURE GETS
UNDER WAY AT ANNAPOLIS
200 Bills Prepared by Legislative
Council; O'Conor Says No
New Taxes Will Be Asked

With assurance from Governor
Herbert r. O'Conor that no new taxes
would be asked for during the session,
and that the policy of gradual elimin-
alton of the real estate tax would be
pressed, the l945 session of the Gen
cral Assembly of Maryland got I'M
doorway in the State House at Anna
polls on Wednesday.
O'Conor said the State had never
been in soundcr position with its
credit ranking with the highest among
the States. The present bonded debt
Of the State is $27,l5O0OO, a reduction
Of $21 100000 in the past six years,
and the real estate and property tax
rate is the lowest since the Civil War
Emergency expenditures arising as
the result Of the States participation
in the war efforts have added substan-

that this had been offset largely by
reversions to the State Treasury re-

Teachers to Meet
With Commissioners
Saturday for Discussion
OF Possible Salary Adjust
ments OF Teachers for 1915

Arrangements have been made for
the County Commissioners to meet
with the Garrett County Teachers
Association on Saturday. January s,
in the Oakland High School building
at 1890 A NJ. The County Board of
Education and the County Superin-
tendent of Schools, F. E. Rathbun,
have been invited to attend the con-
ference. The purpose of the conference
according to Ernest Spoerlein, presi-
dent of the Teachers Association, is
to discuss the matter of levying
money to continue the salary adjust
ment for teachers so that no teacher
will receive decrease in salary be-
ginning with January /, 1915, and
continuing throughout the year of
1945.
Efforts have been made to secure
from the State Treasury the neccs-
sary funds to prevent this reduction
of $4,000 per month in the salary Of
all school teachers here, according to
Mr.. Rathbun.
However the Garrett county mem
bers of the General Assembly have
stated to the County Commissioners,
according to Nh Rathbun, that in
their opinion, this is impossible at
the present time. He pointed out that
the only source for these funds to
prevent this salary reduction is in the
county levy.
At the same meeting the teachers
of the county will be made acquainted
with the proposed program of edu-
cation for Maryland as advocated by
the State Board of Education and APP
proved by the governor in the radio
address of December 7. A four page
pamphlet will be distributed at the
same meeting concerning the program
as prepared by the Maryland State
Teachers Association for distribution
among all patrons and friends Of the
public schools of the county, Mr.
Spoerlein said He urged all teachers
to be present at this meeting which
is an open meeting for any person
interested in the school program.

Minke Declares
Local Hunters Want
Open Season On Doe
Local Hunters, However, Aver
That AIIegany County MINI
rods Are Responsible

A movement is under way in Gar
rett county to petition the State Game
Department for a one or tWo-day
open season on doe deer during 1915
according to Joseph A. Minke, region
al game warden.
This announcement of the game
warden, which appeared first in a
Cumberland paper, brought several
retorts from local hunters who said
the only ones who want an open sea-
son on doe were "Allegany countians
who want to come to Garrett county
and shoot any kind of a deer on
sight"
Minke said Maryland never had an
open season on the female Of the
species, and since doe greatly outnum-
bered the male OF buck deer, he said
he believed that legislation calling for
brief open season on the former
would be introduced at the present
session of the Maryland General As
sembIy.
He said Garrett county sportsmcn
felt that there are mot too many

from them indicate that the doe out
numbers the buck approximately rs to
30 to l.
Some have said such legislation
would particularly benefit the service

would be to shoot every animal or

this office to register his protest,

Boswell Urges
Enlargement Of
State Sanitorium

Directing attention to the gains
made in the control of tuberculosis,
in Mississippi during the past 80
years, DR.. Henry Boswell, Super
intendent of the State Sanatorium,
pointed out that more than one
half of the deaths from tuberculosis
occur in the age group from Is to
As, the most productive period of
human life. Of the several thous-
and known cases of tuberculosis in
the state at present, relatively few
can be cured at the Sanatorium,
said DR.. Boswell, because of the
limited number of beds.
''In order to control tuberculosis
in Mississippi, Sanatorium facil-
tiles should be enlarged SO that all
people who need disqualification
can secure it at the time they need
it, said DR.. Boswell. unless we
make necessary arrangements to
break the contacts of the non-in-
fected with those who are danger
Gus to their family and neighbors,
checking the ravages of this disease
will inevitably drag on over a
long period and cost far more than
if we use intensive measures and
bring into play all known methods
of control. Under modern treatment
it is almost impossible to say
when anyone is incurable. Thou
