BY RHYS JONES

LANSING, Jan. 5-Gov Kelly
today held grimly 10 fading hopes
that this months special leglSla-
tive session viii have a chance 10
do the job he originally planned
for it-diSpoStion of the So, ,OOO,-
600 veterans benefit fund
But unless the state office Of
Veterans Affairs and The Nctcr-
ans Advisory COUNCIL work at
white heat in the three weeks
prior TO the session. Kelly real
lies. the veterans will be left up
IN the air about the states inten-
tionS until January, 1917.
NO LIMITS IN 1874;
That, Kelly has pointed out
will leave the S5l 100000 in the
state treasury until January, 1917,
when the Legislature convenes
again in regular session. The 1917
Legislature would not be circum-
scribed about what should be done
with the money.
The bill setting up the fund
states that the money should go
10 the veterans, but that II can
be used for satisfying other post
war obligations of the state.
NOTHING SPECIFIC
Kelly announced definitely
shortly after VI Day that a Spe-
Cial session would be called. But
today, more than five months
later, no concrete proposals have
been brought forward for advance
consideration of the lawmakers.
Kelly has disclosed, however,
that OVA and the council opposed
a bonus TO the veterans and
wanted TO put the fund IN trust,

used TO meet emergency needs of

Veterans who are working full- time and attending school in their spare time may now be. entitled to subsistence payments under the revised G. I. Bill, Nicholas Zavin- sky, contact representative of the Veterans Administration with of- fices in Fairbanks, announced to- day. :,.
 Under the original law, vet eran attending school in his spare time could not collect any subsist- ence allowance if engaged in full time gainful employment not a part of his course of education or training.
 Tn order to be eligible for even partial subsistence, veteran must be attending school at least three semester hours per semester. With a minimum of twelve semester hours considered as a full-time course, a proportion od the sub sistence does not exceed the SITS and s20o ceilings imposed by Con- gress.
 Any veterans who believe they are entitled to. subsistence under the amended law should make ap- plication at once, ZavinsAy said.

In announcing the Farm Bureaus
sponsorship of the project, Eldred
Rinehart, president of the bureau,
stated that arrangements have been
made with the Farm Bureau Coop
erative, Inc, Main Avenue, Hagers-
town, to collect the Individual dona-
tons of wheat and that Kline Bros.
Flour Mill at BeneVola has agreed to
convert the wheat into flour, free of
charge.
It has also been announced that
farmers who do not have any of
their last wheat crop on hand, or
individuals, other than farmers, who
wish to contribute, may purchase
bushel of wheat for $2.10 at the
Farm Cooperative Elevator, Is
Main Avenue, as the cooperative
has a considerable amount of wheat
on hand which has been earmarked
for sale only to the government,
which they will be allowed to use
in furthering the farm bureau pro-
ject.
Mr.. Rinehart pointed out that
speed is the essence of the success of
the project and that it is imperative
that the flour should be on its way
overseas within the next two weeks.
He asks therefore that all contribu-
tions (either in wheat or CASH be
delivered to the Farm Bureau Co.
operative by June l.

Frequently repeated charges of
general Indifference to the plight of
the worlds starving millions cannot
be applied to one section of Wash
ington County's population-namely
the WON en- of tn e Keedysville,
Boonsboro and Rohrersville discuss
ion groups of the Washington
County Farm Bureau, who have
worked out a really worthwhile plan
to aid the starving millions in Eur
ope
Originally the idea of two county
women - both wives of farmers
the plan calls for each farm family
to donate one barrel of flour, out of
the amount set aside for the use of
their own family, or its equivalent
in wheat, for overseas distribution.
Presented to the three discussion
groups at joint meeting held at
Rohrersville last week, the plan was
enthusiastically received, in spite of
the fact that many farmers do not
have plentiful supply of flour or
wheat at the present time. It was
also suggested that those farmers
without flour, either donate bushel
of wheat from their own supplies, or
buy a bushel of wheat as their indi-
vidual contribution.
The idea is much larger than it
seems at first glance, for the origi-
majors feel that the contribution
should represent a definite cutting
down in the amount of flour con-
sumed by each farm family, rather
than a mere sharing of surplus grain.
The plan was presented to the
Washington County Farm Bureau
and that organization has agreed to
sponsor it. Since there are more than
five hundred members of the County
Farm Bureau, the plan, with little
help by Hagerstown and Washington
County people who are not members
of the bureau, could easily result in
at least 1000 bushels of wheat from
Washington County being shipped
abroad to alleviate the suffering of
the starving millions.

Hagerstown Conference of
Christians and Jews Draw Up
Recommendations For Interna-

Stating a conviction that brother

fundamental principles of both
Christian and Jewish teachings" the
committee on resolutions, appointed
at the regional meeting of the Ma
tional Conference of Christians and
Jews, held here recently, has drawn
up their recommendations to be
submitted to the international con-
ference of the organization to be
held in Oxford, England, this sum-
mer.
Designed to end racial restrictions,
unfair practices, and to outlaw eX-
pressions of hatred against minority
groups, the recommendations of the
local committee, which is composed
of the Rev. Raymond Miller, chair
man; the Rev. Father John Ballard
and Rabbi William Buchheim, reads
as follows:
eve, representatives of the three
great faiths, Catholic, Jewish and
Protestant, unite in bearing testi-
mony to the heritage we share in the
spiritual and moral declarations of
the Old Testament j.. We therefore
recommend to the international Con-
ference of Christians and Jews meet
ing at Oxford, that:
l. 1--WE continue to seek ways and
means of irnplementing these prin-
ciples and declarations into action
and practice.
2. I'VE make strong representa-
tons to the U. N. o. to outlaw ex-
pressions of hatred for minority
groups in word and writing, insofar
as such steps do not interfere with
freedom of speech and liberty of
action.

fair employment practices the law of
every nation.
4. 1--WE condemn the continuance
of Jim Crowism" and other restric-

further, that we work for the protec-
ton of those rights basic to humanity
as expressed in the Bill of Rights
and the Atlantic Charter.
5. 1--WE urge all groups we repre-

Scout Canporee To
Be Held June IL
Judge Miller's Mountain Re-
treat Selected AS Site.

The annual Spring Camporee of
the Washington County District, Boy
Scouts of America, will be held on
Saturday and Sunday, June l and 2,
at Judge Miller's Mountain Retreat,
near the Pine Lodge Lean-To, off
the Dual Highway, about ten miles
from Hagerstown.
District Commissioner Robert
ShncIiff and his corps of Neighbor-
hood Commissioners, together with
Scout Executive B. ]. Hagedorn,
have completed plans for what is
expected to be one of the best Camp
orees in the history of local Scouting,
and it is expected that large num-
Der of Patrols from the various
Troops in Washington County will
participate
The value of Camporees lies in the
fact that Scouts do their camping,
not as Troops, but as Patrols. A
Scout Patrol consists of eight Scouts,
one of which is selected as Patrol
Leader, and although there may be
| as many as four, or more Patrols in
Troop, each Patrol, when it ar
rives at the Camporee site, is en-
tirely on its own.
The Patrol sets up its own camp
site, cooks its own meals, ETC., and
for the two days of the Camporee,
acts as if it were a Troop in itself,
with the Patrol Leader taking the
place of the Scoutmaster.
It can readily be seen that such
program tends to build both
initiative and leadership, two factors
that are vital in developing good
Scouts today and good citizens to-
morrow.
