field of education; and has Joined
with the various other organiza-
tions in bringing about adequate
legislation in some states which
will help in providing employment
opportunities for minority groups.
Every Negro and members Of
minority groups in Minneapolis
should start some rather serious
thinking. We should question
whether there will be job oppor-
tunities for our sons, fathers, hus-
bands after the war. Will our civil
rights law be ignored with refer
ence to housing, recreation and edu-
cation? The NAACP stands ready
to help whenever there is need.

Mill City NAACP
Drive FORCES On
BY LAURA G. GASKINS


The appeal for more members in
the Minneapolis 1916 NAACP drive
this year is greater than ever be-
fore. Each one is urged to feel it
a personal responsibility and a
privilege to give as much as pos
sible because of what this organi-
cation represents.
With the United Nations nearing
their final victory the colored peo-
Piles of the world are asking for
equal rights and opportunities af-
forded every other freedom-loving
people, and behind these hopes and
desires stands the NAACP.
This organization has interceded

have received unjust treatment, it

TRAFFIC. ACCIDENTS DURING
AUGUST

There were 1869 accidents report
ed in Maryland during the month of
August, 1916, with 81 persons killed
and 544 injured. Baltimore City re
ported 667 accidents with IA deaths
and 299 injured, and the counties
1872 accidents with 23 deaths and
245 injured.
Botk Baltimore City and the coun-
ties experienced an increase in fatal
tiles over August of 1914. Thirty
seven persons killed in August is the
greatest number of persons killed in
any one month since December 1914,
when there were A persons killed.
The years total for fatalities is now
262 as compared to 232 for the same
period last year-an increase of 13
per cent.
Thirteen counties experienced a
fatality free month: Allegany, Cal
vert, Caroline, Dorchester, Freder-
ick, Garrett, Hartford, Howard, Kent
Queen Anne, Somerset, Talbot and
Washington.
Pedestrian accidents accounted for
43% of the deaths-an increase OF
1870 over last year. Fixed object
and non-collision accidents increras-
ed considerably-whic reflects that
the motorist is again travelling at
higk speeds.
Gasoline rationing ended on Aug
ust 18th and the 35 M. P. II. speed
limit was lifted few days later. Up
to that date there were Alb accidents
reported with deaths and 1862 in
juredI-while at the close of the
month there were 1869 accidents
with 81 deaths and 544 injured, an
increase of 225 accidents, 25 deaths
and 129 injured over the first four
teen days of the month. There also
was an increase during the last sew
enteen days of August of 145 acci-
dents, 20 deaths and 81 injuries over
the last seventeen days of August of
1914; an indication that our traffic
casualties will now take the place
of the war casualties in ever increas-
ing numbers, unless the motoring
puUllC SuuuCuly dWdhSS anu iCdiiACn
that high speeds and careless driving
have them defeated.
Governor O'Conor, the Maryland
Traffic Safety Commission and other
agencies cooperating in Traffic Safety
appeal to the public using the streets
and highways of Maryland to be-
come safety conscious-don't take
chances our slogan for
this month: Caution Plus Good Sense
equals Safety.

FUNDS FOR PARK PROPERTY
PURCHASE ARE PROVIDED

Governor Herbert r. O'COnor,
through a budget amendment, in the
amount of S3,35O, made provision
for the Department of State Forests
and Parks to complete payments on
lands optioned for purchase by the
State.
The fund, the Governor said, will
be used to pay for property acquired
by the State, with the approval of
the Board of Public Works, for the
purpose of protecting the States pro-
perty interests and developments
which were threatened by the prob
able establishment of undesirable
commercial establishments on near
by privately owned lands.
One piece of property acquired by
the State, Governor O'Conor reveal
ed, is tract of Sc acres adjacent to
buildings and parking lot on the
Washington Monument State Park.
The second property item consists OF
As acres of mountain land which, the
Governor said, is necessary to pro-
tect the park water supply and avoid
the destructive cutting of small tim
ber close to the existing park boun-
daries and picnic ground.

FARM-To-MARKET ROADS

Recently enacted Federal legisla-
ton has authorized funds for extern
sion and improvement of secondary
roads in the immediate postwar era.
This Federal aid fund must be match
ed dollar for dollar by the states. If
state laws do not permit such par
ticipation, they must be amended be-
fore the states can share in the Fed
eral funds. The spread between the
cost of operating over good roads
and over bad is far greater than the
average person realizes.
For an idea of just how much3dif-
ference there is ip the cost, the Ma
tional Rural Letter Carriers Associa-
tion has made available some re-
markable figures. Thirty-two thou
sand rural carriers drive daily l.
100000 miles. Most of this tremen-
dous mileage IL on secondary or farm
to market roads. Records kept by

FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR PAROLE
EXPANSION

Further expansion of the States
parole system was indicated when
Governor Herbert r. .O'Conor made
available additional funds totaling
$14,2S7, through budget amendment
to the Division of Parole and Proba-
ton. The ALLEGATION had previously
been voted by the Board of Public
Works from the General Emergency
Fund.
The allotment is for the purpose,
the Governor pointed out, of provid-
ing for the expanded activities of the
Division for 1946 and makes possible
the employment of two additional
Parole officers, two Senior Parole
Officers and two additional Junior
Stenographers.
The funds provided for the func-
tioning of the Parole Division in the
regular budget totalled $101, 900 for
the years 1946-67, and with this new
ALLEGATION reach grand total of
$4,000. This is in sharp contrast
with the $4,000 that was provided
for this purpose in the last biennium
previous to the present administra-
ton, that is the years 193839.
Under legislation passed during
the past six years, the effectiveness
of the parole system has been tre-
mendously increased, the Governor
declared. The more generous provi-
sion of funds has been reflected, he
nointed out. in the fact that now ev-
cry inmate of the penal institutions
is ultimately considered for parole,
and under the new Indeterminate
Sentence Act all those youths COM
mitted to the Reformatory for Males
as well as all women offenders will
be subject to continuing review OF
their conduct, with the possibility
that they may be released at any
time that the parole and correction
authorities consider them fit subjects
for release.

Frances Virginia O'NeaI, Defendant
LIN the Circuit Court for Cecil County
Equity No. 048O
The object of this Bill is to secure
decree divorcing the Complainant
vinculo matrimonii from the De-
fendant.
The Bill states that the Complain
ant was married to the Defendant ON
the 22nd day of July, 1889, in Clay
ton, Kent County, Delaware, with
whom he resided until the 18th day
of August, 1913; that, though the
conduct of the Complainant towards
the said Frances Virginia O'Neal has
always been kind, affectionate and
above reproach, the said Frances Vir-
ginia O'Neal has, without any just
cause or reason, abandoned and de-
serted him and has declared her in
tention to live with him no longer,
and that such abandonment has con-
tinued uninterruptedly for at least
eighteen months, and is deliberate
and final, and the separation beyond
any reasonable expectation of recon-
ciliation; that two children were
born to said marriage, daughter,
Nancy Lee O'Neal, who is five years
of age, and son, James d. O'Neal,
who is three years of age; that the
Complainant has resided in Cecil
County for more than one year past
before the filing of this Bill, and the
Defendant resides at Middletown,
Delaware. The Bill then prays for a
decree divorcing the Complainant
from the Defendant vinculo matri-
monii, and for such other and fur
ther relief as his case may require.
IT is THEREUPON, this 18th day
of September, 1945, by the CIRCUIT
COURT FOR CECIL COUNTY, IN
EQUITY, ORDERED that the Com
plainant cause a copy of this Order,
with the object and substance of the
Bill, to be inserted in some newspa-
per published in Cecil County once
week for four successive weeks, be-
fore teh 22nd day of October, 1945,
giving notice to the Defenadnt, Fran
ces Virginia O'Neal, who is nom
resident of the State of Maryland, to
appear in this Court, either in per-
son or by solicitor, on or before the
7th day of November, 1945, to an
swer the premises and abide by and
perform such decree as may be pass
ed therein.

carriers in Indiana and Iowa show
the operating cost per mile for earth
roads to be 7.S cents; gravel roads,
AS cents; pavement, 3.8 cents.
Bad roads are an impressive eco
nomic waste and are an answerable
argument for practical postwar road
construction. You can hardly blame
the rural letter carriers for being un-
animous in favor of improving the
highways they have to travel.
There are still AZ per cent of
Americas farms on dirt roads. Better
rural roads will speed up shipment
from farm to city and help hold
down food costs.
