FAILING THE DISABLED
VETERANS

Occupational induces list some
$4,000 different kinds of jobs in this
country, at least 1000 of which can
be filled by handicapped men and
women. Employers apparently are un

accomplished. Federal statistics indi-
cate that while prior to VI Day tEc
number of placements of disabled
veterans approximately equalled tn ?

MARYLAND OPENS FAMOUS
RESERVOIR TO FISHING

For The first time since it's con-
struction in 1888, famous Pretty Boy
reservoir, located near the Pennsyl-
vania border in tie northwest corner
of Baltimore county. will be opened
to anglers, according to F. Wallace
Taber, executive director of the
League of Maryland Sportsmen.
after lengthy negotiations with
the City," said Taber who was pri-
marily responsible for the recent es-
tablishment of the black bass as a
game fish in Maryland, 1--WE were
successful in getting the mammoth
3,500-acre reservoir opened to fish
ing"
mot having been fshed in by
more than handful of anglers since
the dam was poured across historic
Gunpowder River, TIE lake is tenn
ing with many varieties of legal
game fish," Taber said.
Opening of the lake was secured
through a concessiOn-co ar
rangement between the City and the
League The latter is an organization
of over 5000 Maryland sportsmen
which recently announced the fall
scheduling of two gigantic Today
Sportsmen's Shows for Baltimore aud
Washington, D. G.
with the entire management pol
icy delegated to the League, it is our
DESIRE Taber advised, Ito provide
the maximum amount of fishing for
tke greatest number of anglers. Hav-
ing received such short notice of the
success of our endeavor, we will be
short OF boats when the season opens.
1t would, therefore, behoove anglers
to bring their own where possible.
No motor boats or outboards will be
allowed"
Fishing will be under a permit ar
rangement, according to the League,
with daily permits selling for SO
cents and season permits for $500.
Boat rental is set at 35 cents an hour
or $1.25 a day. Private boats may be
launched and moored at designated
locations for $500 per boat per sea-
son.
The permit Office is located on the
old Kidd's School road on tie north
shore OF the lake.

WAR RECORDS

Recently presented to the War
Records Division of the Maryland
Historical Society were a dozen tray
el-stained and beaten boxes bursting
with the war-story of the 18th Divi-
sion in which many Marylanders SER
we'd during World War II. Their deliv
cry was prosaic event-several Gl s
hauled the heavy boxes into TIE So
ciety's office from a truck and then
YEARLY departed. Examination of the
contents, however, was one of the
most thrilling experiences of the War
Records Research staff to date.
Included in the records, which
were presented by Col. William j
White, former Division Chief OF
Staff, are copies of the Operational
Journal comprising a typewriter,
word-for-word account of every or
der and report given at headquarters
from D-Day until We Day. Readinh
these journals is to re-live TIE many
actions in which the 29th fought t..
hitting the tough Omaha Beach, the
ldhluS VI ~ LIZ, IliC pttttiO OL A'iN'Nf
and the arduous drives to the Rob"
and the Rhine. The pages are replete
with action such as reports of objec
tives attained, calls for air-cover anu
artillery fire, and reports of casual
ties. The Divisions 10000 casualties
represent the second highest Ameri-
can Division losses in the war against
Naziism.
One box of the records was devot-
ed entirely to battle maps, including
a copy of the D-day operations map
with inked-in symbols showing the
deployment OF the 29th as it hit the
beach as well as its initial object; les
in Normandy. Other boxes contain
over 5000 photographs with surlec:s
Ranging from grim action shots to
snaps of athletic contests and other
recreational events held after W. day
while awaiting transportation home
Other items in the gift include ;-os-
ters, concentrations decorations and
ing in the division; in this group i;
included a visitors signature buoi:
which contains TIE autographs OF
such famous personalities as Nancy
Astor, General Eisenhower, Field
Marshall Montgomery and many 9th
erS.
The records of the 29th are avail,
able to the public for examination al

SUFFICIENT STEEL FOR AUTO
INDUSTRY PREDICTED

With steel production nearing war
time peaks, automobile makers and
other users will be able to get
enough steel for anticipated needs if
the industry is able to continue full
scale operations without interrupt
ton in the coming months, Walter S.
Tower, president of American Iron
and Steel Institute, said in state
ment released
Present capacity of the industry
of approximately 90,000,000 tons of
ingots annually is nearly SO percent
greater than the maximum produc-
ton attained before the war, Mr..
Tower pointed out.
"A responsible executive in the au-
tomobile industry has stated that the
output of passenger cars in 1916
will approximate 100000 units.

KEEPING COOL

Keeping cool in the summer is an
art. It's an art we'll worth cultivat-
ing when the rays of the sun beat
down at their hottest in midsummer.
It's an art which can be learned if
one thing is kept in mind-lmodera-
tion
Moderation in eating, in play, in
all types of physical exertion will
make the summer heat spells more
bearable Getting all "het up" about
the weather will only make us more
uncomfortable. Since we cannot
change the weather and many of us
cannot move to cooler chimes, vixen
hot days approach, it is just as well
to resign ourselves to the heat and
to try to be as comfortable as pos
sible.
Here are a few simple rules which,
if followed, may help make the sum-
mer more pleasant.
l. Dress comfortably. Light clothes
that are not too combining should be
worn on hot days.
g. Eat sensibly. Heavy foods, diff
cult to digest, should be avoided This
does not mean living on sandwiches
and salads throughout TIE summer.
A well-balanced diet is necessary at
all times, and hot meals, if we'll plan
ned, will not add to the discomfort of
summer. Rich, heavy foods, however,
cause the body to work overtime in
tho liuaCttun cl, nj hr
omitted from the diet in hot weather
3. Drink plenty of water and fruit
juices. Because the body perspires
more in summer than in winter, it is
necessary to consume an extra amout
of liquids Cool water and lemonade
are particularly good on hot days
Extra salt is needed, too, because the
| body loses much salt in perspiration
This salt may be obtained by adding
it to fruit drinks or by eating salt
| tablets.
4. Be careful to avoid over-expos-
ure to the sun.
Man, people look forward to get
ting extra doses of sunshine during
The summer, but too much may prove
health hazard. 1t may cause pain
al sunburn or it may lead to sun
stroke which swiftly brings on I'M
consciousness and may cause death
Sunstroke occurs most frequently
among people exposed to the direct
heat Of the SUN and who are not toe
heavi ! clad. 1t is more common
among men than among women and
children. 1t may come on suddenly
but usually it is the result of long
exposure and may come on gradually
TIE symptoms are a pain in the
head dizziness, feeling of oppres
sion, the absence of perspiration and
sometimes, nausea and vomiting.
While a doctor is being summon
ed, the patient should be removed tc
a cool spot His clothing should be
lOosened and an effort made to re
duce his temperature rapidly. If ht
is conscious, he should be given sal
and water to drink or fruit juices.
Moderation practiced during the
summer months will make thest
months pass more pleasantly and con
fortably.

THE FIREWORKS LAW

The insurance Department of Mary
land, according to Commissioner
Lawrence E. Ensor, is calling upon
the law enforcing officers and public
officials throughout TIE State to
again strictly enforce the law appli-
cable to Fireworks.
According to Commissioner Ensor,
it is a distinct violation of the laws
of this State to set off fireworks or
fireworks displays without frs hav-
ing obtained the approval of the In
surance Department. The law re-
quires this approval and the fling of
"a bond with the Insurance Depart
ment so as to protect anyone who
might be injured.
The number of applications for
permits to the Department this yeal
have increased, there being tenden-
cy perhaps to celebrate. Anyone put
ting on such a display, without per-
nit, will be prosecuted by the De-
partment.
The law further specifically baus
the use of firecrackers. squibs, rock
cts, sparklers, roman candles, torpo-
does, bombs, grenades, fireballoons,
signal lights and any combustible Or
explosive composition, or any sub
stance or combination of substances,
or article prepared for the purpose of
producing a visible or an audible eff
feet by combustion, explosion, deTa-
grafton or defamation.
BY reason of the enforcement OF
the Fireworks Act loss Of life has
been eliminated. and there are prac-
tically no accidents as a result l of
burns and explosions incident to the
use of firecrackers. In 1945 there
were practically no injuries attribu-
table to fireworks as compared with
312 in the year of of 1910, the year
Immediately before the enactment OF
the Fireworks Act.

EISENHOWER'S REPORT
AVAILABLE TO PUBLIC

General Eisenhower's forceful re-
port as supreme commander to the

D-Day to VE-Day and is printed on
heavy enameled stock with maps in
two colors. This official description
of the operations in Europe contains
1913 pages and is for sale at S1.00 per
copy. Orders should be addressed to
the Superintendent of Documents,
Government Printing Office, Wash
ington 81, D. G.
Three decisive battles were listed
by General Eisenhower which coupl-
ed with Allied teamwork and German
mistakes clinched victory in Europe.
The three decisive actions were the
battle of Normandy, the battle of the
Falaise pocket, and the battles west
of the Rhine.

FARM LABOR

Greatest need for extra farm
workers today is on dairy and gener-
al farms, said Paul E. Nystrom, in
charge of the Extension Farm Labor
Program for Maryland, in advising
farmers to use more city boys f'.r
seasonal harvest work.
Fruit and vegetable growers ar
being taken care of by migrants and
by foreign workers to date, he point
ed out, but dairymen and other fdl
mers who cannot use camp workers
for an intensive period of specialized
work, are still hard up for helpers
Alvord Sherman, farm labor re-
cruitment officer of the USES, has
pointed out that 100 skilled men
could go to work in day within the
Washington milkshed, if they were
available for farm work.
AT the same time, Mr.. Nystr m
suggested that farmers who can work
with youth ask for city boys as sum-
mer helpers. Now that schools are
out, many husky school lads of 125
pounds weight or more can do a good
farm job if they are taught the work.
Many boys worked on farms last
summer and proved to be good farm
hands.
Recruiting of city boys in Batti-
more, Washington and other towns is
now in progress. Since high school
boys are large and permanent
source of help, farmers may well plan
to use this source of farm workers,
Mr.. Nystomr advised.

senger cars and trucks would be
about IL, 100000 tons, or only Is
per cent of the present annual capa-
city of finished steel.
"Sheet and strip steel will contin-
ue to be the chief steel products re-
CURED by automobile and truck pro-
ducers, other products being bars,
forging billets, plates, wire and wire
products.
'tThe average car requires about
2,715 pounds of hot and cold rolled
sheets and strip, including replace
ment parts.
approximately S,775,0OO tons of
sheet and strip steel will be needed
to build the anticipated 194S maxi
mum OF 100000 passenger cars and
trucks. That tonnage is 46 per cent
of the expected output of those pro-
ducts from the sheet and strip mills
now in operation or under construc-
ton. In 1897, about 43 per cent of
the sheet and strip tonnage went to
the automotive industry.
1T is reasonable to assume tnat
sheet and strip mills will have to run
at full capacity in order to meet the
anticipated demands. Nevertheless,
the steel Industry should be able to
provide the tonnages required by au-
tomotive and other consumers if him
dracnes to production can be elimin-
ated."

Emphasizing that the problem be-

its essence moral issue, Kermit

lenged leaders of the major Protes-
tant denominations, gathered in con-
ference at Lake Geneva, Wis, to
help in solving these issues by
training Christian leaders in prob
lens of both labor and management. y
He urged for ministers courses on
the subject in the churches and in
