Cecil County Was Well
Represented During
Recent Club Week

Nearly 1000 Alters from every
county in Maryland assembled at the
University of Maryland for the Gath
annual All Club Week, August $40.
This is the first club week in five
years and eighty-tive per cent of
those attending had never before had
the privilege. Thirty-four boys and
girls were present at the weeks actl-
vities from Cecil County.
Demonstrations were given by out
standing girls and boys on dress max
ing, food preparation, home manage
ment, dairy judging, poultry and live
stock production, conservation, farm
mechanics for the others so that they
will be able to do their work better.
Each evening the boys and girls as
sembled in small groups called tribes
and each group was given an Indian
name The tribes prepared songs,
cheers, stunts, and challenges to be
used at the campfires. On Wednesday
evening there was vesper service
conducted by the older All youth.
Every minute was filed with activi-
ty.
The Weeks events were climaxed
with the All musical program, in
which many talented musicians took
part; and the traditiinal All Star
Conservation Service. Over sixty boys
and girls who have been outstanding
leaders in All work in the state were
oopcaoratad and taken into mpmber-
ship. Donald Balderston and John
Bruce are the new Cecil County All
Stars.
Those over sixteen participated in
group discussions. The subjects were
Choosing A Vocation" Shall l
Live in the City or Country" and

Increase In Fat
Collections Sought t

Homemakers organizing their ac-
tivities for the fall and winter ahead
are advised to give fat salvage a
prominent place on their programs.
'EThe need for salvaged fat is as
great today as it was year ago."
said Mr. Jos. II. Blandford of Mary
lands Field Service Branch-PMA
World and national fat stocks are
low, and are likely to continue so for
months to come.
'"The shortage of soap affects
housewives more keenly than any
other group" Mr.. Blandford contin-
ued. For that reason they should
police tEeir kitcehns constantly for
waste tat They should be sure to
catch every drop of grease before i,
down the drain"
The used cooking fat turned in to
meat dealers, Mr. Blandford explain
ed, helps make up for the shortages
of commercial and imported fats and
oils that have hampered soapmakers
since the start of the war.
'From June to July of this year. -
Mr.. Blandford reported, 'fat salvage
collections dropped from almost 1 "A
million pounds to about 9A million.
"Some drop in fat collections is to
be expected during the summer" Mr..
Blandford said, ''but with cool wea-
tker here it is time to reverse the
trend"

Fire Prevention
Week--OctOber
9th To 18th
Never Greater Need For
Observance In The
State Of Maryland

There was never a greater need or
the observance of Fire Prevention
Week-October 9Th to 12th-accord-
ing to Insurance Commissioner Lew
renee e. Ensor.
To this end, Commissioner Ensor
has enlisted the assistance of 1876
volunteer fire companies of this State
and is arranging an intensified pro-
gram on Fire Pevrention designed to
reach every private and public school
room and service club throughout
the State.
The Commissioner is asking the
corporations and assistance of civic
bodies and community organizations
in the arranging of programs design
ed to more forcibly bring to the at
tention of the public the necessity of
preventing fire losses.
The greatest percentage of fire
losses is suffered by kome owners. A
recent national breakdown of the
causes of 1,005,576 reported fires in
dicates that '2944 percent were caus-
ed by the careless use of matches and
smoking. Many fires are caused by
carelessness of home owners in ne
glecting to have their wiring check
ed and proper fuses installed.
Due to the shoragte of housing and
materials and supplies for building
new homes, it is important that
greater emphasis be placed upon fire
prevention.

SALVAGE
COLLECTIONS
DISCONTINUED
September s, 1916

Midland journal
Rising Sun, Maryland
Gentlemen:
For the past several years the
Naval Training Center, Bainbridge,
to conserve and collect all materials
which might otherwise have been de-
stroyed which have a resale value or
which were urgently needed by our
country's industries during the criti-
cal war period. With an outstanding
spirit of patriotic cooperation, the
surrounding communities contributed
whole-heartedly to the driv e.
Through our combined efforts thou
sands of dollars and tens of thou
sands of pounds of critical materials
were saved.
Recent legislation has greatly re-
duced the funds available for the op-
Grafton OF the Naval Training Center,
Baibnridge, and it has therefore be-
come necessary for us to substantial
ly curtail our activities. After the
week ending 21 September 1916, it
will no longer be possible to make
scrap and salvage material pickings
off the training center.
Your fine spirit of cooperation in
the past is greatly appreciated and it
is deeply regretted that we must dis
continue our service at this time.
Sincerely yours,
VIM. II. BEHRENS,
Commodore, U. S. Navy
Center Commander

1t succeeded yesterday in intro
ducing as evidence 40 bottles of
liquor and deck of pornographic
playing cards which 1t. George
Bruni, treasurer of the North Severn
officers mess, testified were found in
the colored enlisted mans room.
Capt. Jesse R. Wallace and his CO.

embezzlement counts but briefly
digressed when Musician 1/c Will

They elected from young Sima
the testimony that a picture of his
blond wife Margaret, found in Rol-
Inns room, had been given by her to
Rollins with the husbands knowl-
edge and approval
Sima, himself convicted in an
earlier court-martial for having in
troduced his wife into Rollins quar-
ters," also described an all-night
party February 9-10, which resulted
in an investigation eliminating in
the arrest of Rollins. Sima. jr., and

the Russians over the Vistula," he
continued. Il tell you now that
did. Constantly l had tried to reach
them by radio After about four
weeks, when the German line on
the east bank was weakened enough
to let us get through I sent groups
of my officers across the river with
portable radios. l Immediately re-
ceived message from some of them
that they were safe and were in
contact with Rokossovsky's head
quarters.
Messages Delivered.
"I never knew whether they ac-
tually saw Rokossovsky, and I sup
pose I never shall. for those men
have disappeared. For weeks I sent
pleas for help to the Russians
through these Polish officers. l got
radio confirmation each time that
the message had been received ano
delivered. But never an answer.

ment. sitting hunched in his chair
Wearily, he kept passing thin hand
through the sparse gray hair around

caused the death Of Warsaw because
I wished a political victory and did
not care. They say am a reac-

Accusations Denied.
Neither accusation is true. 1t is
not true. The terrorists do Poland
disservice today, for they cost the
lives of the people where nothing is
to be gained. I wished to save lives

1t was at this point that>the writer
asked the general for his explanation
OF Soviet Russias actions with re-
gard to Warsaw. Politely but firm
ly, Gen. Bor declined to answer.
The writer persisted: LAS a mill
tary man. can you think of any
military explanation for what hap
pened?"
The tired little soldier seemed to
bristle.
There was no military reason. -
he snapped. TT was purely mat
