the soil, whether it comes from rains
or from watering.
Each of these principles applies
and helps all through the gardening
season, according to gardeners who
have followed them. At the Depart
ment, it is pointed out that Victory
Gardener can "do something" about
each of these before it is time to
plant the first seeds in the garden
and can continue doing something all
through the season.
Early planning, timely planting,
good seed, fertile soil, protection
from pests, and provision for an ade-
quate supply of moisture ARE ele-
ments that every garden needs. There
are special problems in some gardens
but all gardens call for intelligent
and diligent attention to these essen
tials.

OLD AGE AND SURVIVORS
INSURANCE PAYMENTS

During the month of December,
1914, benefit payments under the Old
Age and Survivors Insurance system
were being made in this area to 49,
$40 men, women and children, aggre-
eating $253,445 month.
These figures were released by
Mr.. William H. Donlin, manager of
the Baltimore field Office of Ike Social
Security Board. This Office serves
Baltimore City and the counties of
Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Cecil Har-
ford and Howard.
In addition, lump sum payments
were made during 1914 to 261S ap-
licants in the total amount of $261,-
526.
Mr.. Donlin stated that the combin-
ed statistics for Baltimore City and
county show that:
SOLO retired workers, aged 65 or
over are receiving monthly $115,-
O49.80; 1870 wives, IS or over, of
retired workers are receiving month
ly $15,O66.60; 1920 children of de-

FIGHT OVER TAX NOT OVER

Taxpayers of Maryland, who fol-.
the last several weeks have deluged
Annapolis with protests against the
proposed 8 increase in the State in
come tax rates until Governor O'Con-
or yielded and asked the General As
sembly to retain the 1l3 income tax
credit and cut the Real Estate Tax
cent, feel that the fight is far from
over. The 16 2I3 20 increase in the tax
rate on salaries and wages has not
been removed and the new budget,
which is some $12,000,000 higher
than that for the last Biennium, por-
tends higher taxes in the future. Not
only that, but possible supplementary
budgets may increase the State
spending program by millions more,
all of which must come out ;of the
taxpayers pocket.
The 13 credit on income tax was
originally granted by the last regu-
lar session of the General Assembly
for the purpose of returning part of
the surplus accumulated up to that
time. Subsequently, in view of new
SURPRISES piling up, the Board of
Public Works granted an additional
credit on earneed income rates of
16 81 20. These credits were, in
effect, for income earned in 1943,
but the Board declined to continue
the Is $3.50 credit for incomes in
1914, even though the reduced rates
had brought the State some $1,000
900 more than it needed.
Governor O'Conor, in his message
to the present General Assembly, es-
timated the surplus would be above
SO, 222,000 by June of 1945, the ifs
cal end of the present Biennium. Tax
payers were shocked when reliable
sources reported that, instead of adj
ditional tax reductions, the CEeif Ex-
ecutive intended removing all credits
On income tax granted by the pre-
vious Legislature. Then came the
deluge. From all quarters of the
State and from citizens in every walk
of life, protests poured in.
The Governor during the last few
days revised his plans and, just be-
fore he presented the new Budget to
the Legislature, he notified taxpayer
leaders that he would allow the lib
credit to continue and would cut the
State tax on Real Estate 1 cent. How
ever, the increase of 16 2 % in the
rate on wages and salaries still
stands. Thus, taxpayers gain approx
mately $4,000 through the 1 cent
cut on Real Estate Tax, but they ex-
pect to lose over a million a year
through the boost in the tax on earn
| ings Later, it appeared that the 1 I3
credit applies for one year only. This
in view of the fact that the lower
rates in 1943 produced millions of
surplus, according to taxpayer lead
ers, is a deep disappointment.

CIGARETTES NOT UNLIMITED

Overall consumption of cigarettes
is continuing at the highest level in
the history of the country, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture said in a
December review of the tobacco sit
uation, Although civilian cOnsuInp-
ton in 1914 was running below 1943,
the Bureau of Agricultural Econom-
les said, shipments to the armed for
ces abroad increased sharply for
1914.
The December figures indicated
total production of about 329 billion
cigarettes for the year. This was an
increase of 20 billion over 1943. Add
ing Red Cross purchases and gift
packages sent to servicemen to the
military purchases for rations and
sales, the figures late in 1914 showed
that at least 10 billion cigarettes
(just more than one-third) were go
ing to military forces abroad. For
smokers at home this left about 220
billion cigarettes for 1914 compared
with 258 billion in 1913.
aside from the huge military re-
-quirements, says the BAE, "other
factors responsible for the current
lack of sufficient supplies of cigar
cites include shortages of factory la
Dor and shipping containers, and
buying in advance of needs by con-
sumers."

ABc's IN VICTORY GARDENING

Success for Victory Gardeners is
considerably more probable if they
will observe five simple rules or prin-
ciples which have proved helpful to
botk old hands and to inexperienced
gardeners in recent years, according
to Victory Garden Headquarters at
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
Summarizing experience reported by
gardeners, these suggestions are:
/. Make good plans and make them
well in advance.
2. Have everything ready before
the garden season opens-seeds, fer
tilizers, insecticides, and tools. Avoid
waste of good gardening weather in
doing last minute shopping.
3. Get an early start, and plant
early crops early. Hold later crops
such as tomatoes and lima beans
until the soil and weather are warm
enough to favor quick growth.
4. Feed the vrops-with fertilizers
of one kind or another-and protect
them from insects and diseases with
the dusts or sprays that have proved
their value.
8. Insure against drought injury

tering II possible. and with organic

Mr.. Donlin called attention to the
fact that some people do not know
their rights under tht Federal Insur-
ance program and so may lose bene-
fits through failure to act at the
right time. To correct this, he issued
the following advice: Whenever
person who has worked at any time
in job covered by the law reaches
the age of IS, he should communi-
cate with the Social Security Board at
80 South Street and find out how to
protect his benefit rights even though
he does no tplan to retire. Whenev-
er a worker dies, after working for
some period in jobs covered by the
law, a member of his family should
communicate promptly with the near
est office of the Board. This is the
only way to make sure that no bene-
tits are lost"

are no different than any others
in that respect, albeit that a study
of d e mo craft c processes and
studies in the schools here leave
one adrSiring what is trying to be
done with the youngsters who, in
apother day, VII assume the COM
plicated machinery of present-day
civilization.
Democracy here is taug IN t
through two mediums: books and
pupil-participation in his school S
act vities.
Formal textbook. study OF de-
mocracy comes first with simple
American history taught early in
grammar school. 1t climaxes in
the upper classes of high school
with more specialized study of po-
litical science, economics and in
intpretive history
Pupil Participation
REORGANIZATION ranges from
classroom committees for the
Chr stmas play to the actual op-
Grafton of fair-sized student gov
eminent organization in New Han
over High school. In between are
student clubs and organizations Of
all sorts, sizes and activities.
Teachers in the public schools
say that today's youngsters have
more comprehensive grasp OF
the fundamentals of democratic
procedure than their parents be,
fore them. Admittedly. today $
school program is more broad
ened one in every aspect thar
were those of a quarter-century
ago, and more. Too, today's school
student, espec ally those in mid
teens, have much sharper pollti-
cal perspective than did their par
ents at like age. They ask political
questions, these 'teen-agers, that
frequently as not befuddled their
parents.
Insofar as politics and democra-
cy can be separated, the county's
schools are doing job at least
on par with other school systems
throughout the state and generally
a better job than is done in most
Southern schools. That is the
opinion, at least, of many school
teachers, drawing their study OF
study-courses elsewhere, and from
their conversations with others OF
their profession.
Erwin Sets Pace
The pace of democratic work in
the schools here was largely set
in 1871 by Clyde A. Erwin, state
superintendent of public instruc-
ton when, in the forward to
State published pamphlet Teach
ing Democracy in the North Caro-
lima Public Schools" he wrote:
1.-The tragic events that ehave
taken place in Europe during re-
cent months should serve to re-
mand us most forcefully that de-
mocracy is never a gift. but al
ways a victory. If We " -, 10 en-

mocracy go hand-in-hand. Another
answer, too, is the accepted fact
mat democracy is living, day.
to-day thing-a way of life, hence
the learning of it is accomplished
through experience rather. than
via the medium of textbooks.
1t is not intended to imply that
the county's schools are without
textbooks covering the field of de-
mocracy. Indeed, to the contrary,
textbooks from early grammar
school through high school touch
on one or more of the multiple
phases Of democracy. But as a
study course, it does not exist.
Professional educators them
selves are at odds over the subject
of democracy, as a study course
IN elementary "a n d high schools,
and on into higher education, too,
for that matter. No subject. with
the possible exception of religion,
contains more hot seats for the
educator than does democracy.
Why"
The answer is fairly obvious.
Let any two readers of this article
write their defination of democra-
cy and compare notes! If, per-
chance, h e definations should
agree, then proceed to the next
step and consider application of
the defination to everyday life.
Educators are cognizant of the
different notions of democracy
and equally aware of the compli-
cations that would inevitably re-
suit from application of even the
most neutral of interpretations.
