Urges All To Join Fire Proven.
ton Week Observance

Never was there greater need or
reason in the history of our State for
observance of Fire Prevention Week,
October 18th to 18th, according to In
surance Commissioner Lawrence E.
Ensor.
To this end Commissioner Ensor
stated now that final victory has been
achieved it is important that we put
forth our utmost effort toward the
preventing of fires in order that our
country will not be needlessly ham
pered in its reconversion and re-cm-
ployment program.
Commissioner Ensor has further
stated that while Maryland has en-
joyed sharp reduction in fire losses
in the past year this is no reason why
we should lessen our effort toward
this cause as Malyland's total fire
loss for the past year was in excess
of S5,000,00O.

Mr. Gender said he was planning to
use the same community workers as
last year. Those to whom he had al

job again this year because they felt
that the war service has not ended
The bulk Of the contributions go fol-
the United Service organization which
has places scattered throughout the
Pacific area for the pleasure of men
in the service.
Last year the quota was $500 fol-
Garrett county and a total of $6,331
was raised. Victor A. Rule, state
representative, in a letter to Mr.. Con
der, stated the national organization
had pledged that this would be the
last campaign. Funds from this cam
paign will be used to operate the
organization until January l, 1947.
President Truman opened the drive
with a short radio address on Tues
day night with an appeal for gener-
Gus contributions to help war fund
agencies finish the job they were set
up to do"
The drive is for three causes-for
continued "friendly services" for those
still having job to do in the armed
forces, for health and welfare servi-
ces for people at home, and for relief
for war stricken persons in liberated
areas.

efficiency of electricity to farm people
was largely determined by its uses
and that the efficiency of uses of
electricity may be determined by the
wiring system on each farm, so that it
was necessary that they have infor-
nation before completing plans. The

Mackenzie King Backs
World Government
BY the Associa tied Press.

OTTAWA, Dec. 17.-Some form of
world government may be neces-
sary to maintain peace in a world
where the use of atomic energy is
known, Prime Minister Mackenzie
King said today in the Canadian
House of Commons.
The statement came in the Prime
Minister'S first public report on the
recent Washington conferences at
which he, Prime Minister Attlee of
Great Britain and President Tru-
man agreed that information on the
use Of atomic energy for peaceful
purposes should be exchanged
among nations with safeguards.
He asked Commons to approve
the Washington declaration calling
for United Nations commission to
study ways Of preventing atomic
energy from being used for destruc-
tive purposes.
The more deeply one ponders the
probiemS with which our world is
confronted In the light Of the
implications Of the development OF
atomic energy" said Mackenzie
King, the harder 1t is to see solu-
ton In anything short Of some sur
render Of national sovereignty.
For q limited surrender Of ma
tional sovereignty there must be
substituted some form Of world gov
ernment, restricted, at least at the
outset, to matters pertaining to the
prevention Of war and the mainte-
nance Of international security"
