Anti Discrimination

Republicans in Congress are eX-
pecting 10 take the ball away from
Democrats on al least two pieces OF
important legislation which have
been pending Tor some time.
Both parties are on record favor
ing enactment OF a federal anti-dis-
elimination law and establishment
OF q permanent fair employment
practice commission. However, the
majority party has been blocked oy
f opposition of southern legislators.
During the current session OF
Congress, Republican Minority
Leader Joe Martin, Of Massachus-
cts. hopes to get action in the
House, and Senator Joseph Ball
(R) OF Minnesota, plans 10 push
. the bills through the Senate.

WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMAN
( took office, there was a great sour
rying in the Navy Department
/ brass hat section for copies OF an
article he wrote while he was a
senator In which he criticized the
Navy for IL stodgy ways
The article appeared in a M
tionai magazine in August, 1914,
but the Navy paid little attention 10
. il because the late President Roose.
Welt favored the Navy.
When Mr.. Truman took over,
high-ranking officers in the Navy
re-read the article because they
knew that there would be a move
] for a merger Of the armed forces.
The Navy started a campaign i'm
mediately to oppose the merger,
and kept it up openly until the
Chief Executive sent his recent
{ message to Congress favoring IT,
Publicly now the Navy cannot
oppose its "commander-in-chisf'
although they still hope 10 get
enough public sympathy that may

. legislation so it will not be too I'M

SET 1947 WHEAT GOAL

Maryland's fall seeding of wheat
for 1947 harvest should total about
100000 acres, according to the goal
for needed farm production of this
food grain as recommended by the
Maryland U. S. d. A. Council and ap-
proved by Secretary of Agriculture
Clinton p Anderson.
This wheat production needed in
Maryland is above the 371,000 acres
seeded last fall and harvested in
1916, but is below the previous year S
production of 100000 acres harvest
ed in 1945, according to Joseph H.
Blandford, State PIMA Chairman.
Continued demand for food ship
ments abroad in 1947, plus the low
stage of feed reserves in this country
means that more wheat is needed in
1947 Maryland farm production esti-
mates.
This means that the state goal for
wheat is somewhat larger than it will
be in later years, when feed supplies
are more normal, and the use of land
for soil building crops instead of
grains can be resumed. At the same
time, for efficient livestock produc-
tion in Maryland in 1947, the U. S.
d. A. Council called for more pro-
duction of grain to make Maryland
farming more self-sufficient. Full
production of forage crops and pas
ture for livestock feeding, however,
is even more important than grain
production in Maryland.
The great need for more feed crops
in Maryland is shown by the fact that
Marylands state goal for wheat is up
while the national goal for wheat, OF
II, 100000 acres, is slightly under
the 1916 harvested acreage.
The goal for rye to be planted this
fall in Maryland and harvested for
grain has been set at 10000 acres,
Mr.. Blandford added.

GAINS FROM SOIL
CONSERVATION

MANY things make me more opti-
vation in our own country, and in the
world as a whole, than l have ever
dared to be BEFORE" said DR.. H. H.
Bennett of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, chief of the Soil Conser-
walton Service, in recent address.
Number one among them is the fast
growth and good accomplishments of
soil conservation districts. The many
beneficial results of soil and water
conservation, which we have measur-
ed repeatedly, prove the soundness
of this way of agriculture as nothing
else could. Thousands of statements
and reports from farmers bear this
out.
Especially significant, l think, is
that the most rapid growth in dis
tricts, the most extensive applications
of soil conservation practices on the
land, and the most gratifying reports
of benefits all have come during the
busy war and postwar production
years.
''In the reports of more than 5000
representative farmers and ranchers
throughout the country who keep
books on their operations, we learn
ed recently that the average annual
production of all major crops had in
creased by 35.7 percent per acre as
a result of using soil conservation
practices. An increase in production
even approximating this reported in
crease would amount, for the whole
country, to something almost equal
to the discovery of new continent
with a lot of good agricultural land
on It."

WHY SAVE FAT?

The more fat you save in the kit
chen, the more soap you will have
for the laundry, the dishwashing and
for the bathroom, advised Miss Mar
garet McPheeters, foods specialist of
the University of Maryland Extension
Service.
Copra and cocoanut oil supplies
from TIE Pacific are climbing back up
in volume of supply, but our stocks OF
fats and oils are still near the dan
ger point for many months, she said.
Total production of oil seed crops
this year is lower, with drop in
flaxseed, and we still need every drop
of salvage fat now just as we did in
wartime. Industry as well as homes,
requires huge amounts of fats, and
kitchen fats add a considerable
amount to the nations slim supply.
Fats that go down the drain of the
kitchen sink, or into the garbage
pail are still needless waste of an
essential commodity in peacetime,
Miss McPheeters said. Use all the
food fats carefully, to prevent waste
at the table, then salvage all tEat
cannot be used longer as food.

THOSE POSTWAR DREAMS

There are signs tkat the honey
moon era for the veterans of World
War II is drawing to close. There
is nothing specially new in this con-
dition. History is merely going
through it's regularly appointed bust
ness of repeating itself. Nevertheless,
it is a disappointing experience for
the veteran who was absent from his
country during those long dreary
years of the war.
Consider the things that most Wit
ally affect the veteran now. He wants
a job. He wants home. He wants to
go to sckool. The Supreme Court rul-
ed out his claim for seniority in job
opportunities. Congress has done
nothing positive to correct this stu
alton. So that one out of six veter-
ans wanting job who hasn't found
one is sweating it out as a member
of the 52-2O club.
When it comes to locating a home
the situation is desperate. Great
things were expected when the Wyatt
housing program devised to build
2,700,000 homes in a hurry was an
nounced. But those expectations Lave
not been lived up to. Mr.. Wyatt has
announced that 100000 homes had
been started this year up to the end
of May. That is a long way from
what the veteran had expected. While
labor and supplies have not been
available for housing construction,
there is a great amount of both going
into commercial building.
The veteran is also finding it tough
to secure the educational training
that was interrupted by his service
during the war years. Here the Gov
ernment has made partial provision.
But the program bogs down because
there is insufficient housing, or in
spfficient teaching personnel and
equipment, or a combination of these
factors, and the veteran finds it diff
cult to enter the school of his choice.
These considerations should indi-
cate to the veteran tkat he has need
of the organization that will work
ceaselessly for his betterment, which
is to say the betterment of the Ma
ton, since the veteran with his fam
lily conecntions, now is majority of
the population.
The American Legion is an organi-
zation composed of more than three
millions of veterans of the last two
major wars. In season and out it has
a record of accomplishments in the
community, State and Nation that is
beyond compare. AS opposed to the
do-gooders and the fly-by-night
groups who promise lot-and actu-
ally do very little-the Legion offers
a sound program for the citizen who,
just now, is little dubious about his
status as a veteran.s

TB AFTER 40

Because tuberucolsis takes the
highest death roll of any disease
among young people from Is years
of age on, it is often thought of as
young peoples disease.
Actually, tuberculosis belongs to
no age group. 1t may strike any age,
though pulmonary tuberculosis is
comparatively rare between the ages
of and s.. The fact that tuberculo-
sis is not disease of youth alone is
proved by statistics which show that
more than half of all the deaths from
tuberculosis occur among persons 40
years of age and over.
People who die of tuberculosis af-
ter they reach the forties may have
contracted the disease in their young
er years or they may have caught it
in their more mature years.
tuberculosis is caused by a germ
and anyone who is exposed to the
germ may get the disease, regardless
of his age. Years do not create i'm
munity to the disease-there is no
immunity against tuberculosis un-
less it is a healthy body, strong
enough to resist disease when germs
invade the body.
One of the reasons that so many of
the tuberculosis deaths occur among
people of 40 years and over may be
that the disease was not discovered
early enough for treatment to be un-
dertaken successfully.
tuberculosis seldom has outward
symptoms in it's early stage. The
germs work quietly at first and great
damage may have been done by the
time the symptoms are apparent and
the disease is discovered. Tuberculo-
sis can be cured, but it is easier to
cure in that early, symphonies stage.
If the disease is allowed to progress
until one lung is badly damaged or
both lungs are affected, it is difficult
to arrest the disease.
There would be fewer deaths from
tuberculosis if the disease were al
ways discovered in it's early stage.
And it can be discovered before the
outward symptoms appear by means
of chest x-ray.
Everyone 15 years of age and over
should have periodic chest x-ray ex-
aminations. If everyone did form the
habit of having x-ray pictures taken
of the lungs at frequent intervals,
cases of tuberculosis would be found
before it is too late for successful
treatment and deaths from tubercu-
losis would be greatly reduced
In the next artille, giving the child
a healthy start in school will be dis

AIM FOR MORE LIVESTOCK

New ceiling prices for livestock, in
Guiding the new ceiling, Baltimore
basis, of S16S0 per hundred pounds
for hogs, are aimed to help famrers
to improve production of meat for
next year, following the heavy liqui-
dation of underweight meat animals
which took place during the uncon-
trolled period of prices in July and
August.
Maryland farmers are being advis-
ed this year to produce more meat
for their own use at home, as well as
to produce up to the limit of their
available feed supplies for market,
said Joseph Fl. Blandford, State PIMA
Chairman.
The new ceiling prices, below the
prices of the uncontrolled period, are
set high enough to encourage more
production to meet expected needs,
he added. The old ceiling on hogs,
Baltimore basis, was $15.40.
On cattle the new ceiling of $20.25
per hundred in Chicago, plus the diff
ferential in Baltimore, is consider
ably above the old SIS ceiling plus a
subsidy of SO cents hundred to the
feeder. Ceilings ON dressed lambs will
run to about $19 a hundred pounds,
Chicago basis, or about 81 more a
hundred than before. With feed more
plentiful, the higher price is expected
to result in heavier feeding and great
er meat production, with a price for
finished animals more in line with
the higher prices for feeder cattle,
and unfinished stock.

STATEMENT OF POSITION WITH
RESPECT TO CECIL COUNTY
ROADS

Our County needs a sOund progress
sive road building and maintenance
program. Such a program should con-
tain the following points:
Cd Transfer to the State Road sys
tenn of all County roads which pro-
perly constitute part of that system
as rapidly as is practicable, thus re-
lieving the County of financial re-
sponsibility for this road mileage.
(2) Maintenance of County dirt
roads in a state of practical useful
ness by proper drainage and lasting
economical repairs.
(3) Improvement by grading and
hard-surfacing County roads of as
great mileage each year as available
funds will permit.
(4) Avoidance of wasteful, un-
stable repairs by having all road
work performed properly with the
use of good materials and properly
protected adequate drainage.
60 Strict application of all tax
funds collected for road building and
maintenance to those purposes only.
CO County Commissioners with
authority and responsibility to effec-
lively and economically promote the
County road program.
The adoption and successful pro-
motion of such program will re-
quire strong support in the Legisla-
ture of Maryland. My vigorous sup
port for this program is assured if l
am returned to the Senate of Mary
land.
