OPA Ceases
To Exist
Price Control Measure
Expired At Midnight
On Sunday

Two sensational items of news
broke over the week-end-the drop
ping of the A-Bomb at Bikini, in the
Marshall Islands, and the passing out
of the OPA at midnight on Sunday.
Despite the fact that the Nays
big bomb experiment was rated as a
$70,00o,O0O affair, the expiring of
the OPA, by limitation, with a prob
able general rise in prices all along
the line, affects most of us.
The crazy quilt measure passed by
Congress, extending the OPA law,
found no favor with President STru-
man and was vetoed, and the law
controiing prices expired July list.
Just how long the country will be
without price control is problemati-
cal. The House has voted to revive
the OPA for twenty days, until an
other measure can be framed, but the
Senate refuses to be hurried and
takes it's time about everything.
hence no price control yet, leaving
things in condition of uncertainty.

Belle Hill Farm Group

The Belle Hill Cecil County Plan
ming Group held meeting on June
5. Seed cleaning was discussed and
the group favored seed cleaner for
this county. There was lengthy dis
cussion of OPA control on farm pro-
ducts. The group went ON record as
favoring OPA but not for the farmer
alone.
Prices of merchandise and equip
ment were compared with one year
ago and an increase shown on an
average of 25 to 40 percent, while
farm products have had no increase
whatsoever. This group favors an in
crease of farm products equal to the
increase received by labor and equal
to the products the farmer has to
buy. 49,
Farmers realize that they are re-
ceiving 40c per hundred increase in
milk, but with the reduction in sub
sidy they are really not receiving any
increase, but just the same money
from a different source. The group
went on record as requesting an in
crease of 80 to 40 percent above the
present price including the winter
subsidy Therefore they felt that they
are justified in asking for a $500 in
crease per hundred from the receiv-
ing dairy and no subsidy payments.

Work Started On
Canal Bridge

Work has started on the substitute
ture of the $2,600,000 high-level
tied-arch bridge over the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal at Chesapeake
City to replace the lift bridge knock
ed down by a tanker three years ago.
Fehlhaber Pile Company, Inc, of
New York. City, low bidders at ST.
134,887, on construction of the sub
structure, started the work last
week.
The Fehlhaber Company will drive
the pilings and erect the piers for
the bridge, which run from a few feet
high at the far approaches, to ap-
proximately 1875 feet above water
level, near the center of the bridge
Bids for the superstructure of the
bridge, to be similar to the St. Gero-
,ges spans but with two lanes for
traffic instead of four, will be asked
by the Army district engineer in
Philadelphia within two months.
Construction of the bridge of the
type designed for Chesapeake City
takes approximately Is months in
normal times, but may take longer
now due to material conditions,
Army engineers said.
The bridge, to be nearly one mile
long, will have a main span of $40
eet in length over the channel of the
canal.
The Fehlhaber company has 200
days in which to complete it's work.
First work will be to dig to solid
ground for pier footings or to drive
pilings for footings. These pilings,
where solid ground is not reached,
are drive min groups to depth of
nearly 20 feet.

SUGAR RE-
MAINS SCARCE

State Director, Leo H. Mccormick
again urges consumers to conserve
sugar carefully. Prompt enforcement
action against violators resulted in
four suspension orders this week.
I'VE are continuing to press hard for
strict compliance with the sugar reg
ulations, and are currently investi-
eating several important cases in
Maryland" said Mr.. Mccormick.
A second home canning sugar
is valid as of July 1, 1916. Three
hundred sixty-eight thousand tons
more sugar has been made available
for distribution to civilians for the
third quarter as compared to the
second quarter. This is the usual sea-
sonal increase made to provide for
higher sugar use by commercial and
home Gamers at this time of year.
The increased ALLEGATION permitted
by OPA to validate spare stamp 10
1916, for five pounds of home can
ming sugar. This stamp is the last to
be issued this year for home canning.
1t will be good through October 81,
1916. Spare stamp 8 will continue to
be good for five pounds of home can
ming sugar through October 81, 1916,
also.
Present plans call for valuation of
the next five pound regular con-
sumner stamp September 1, 1916.

largest amount of road work ever
done at one time in the history of
the State, Governor O'Conor said
Monday.
Commenting on report of the
State Roads Commission, the Cover
nor said projects already under con-
struction amount to more than
100000 and additional work, to
cost approximately $8000,00O, will
be placed under contract within the
next few months.
Contr acts let within the past week
included approximately miles OF
the Observation-Disclosures roa ID

cost of $723,247.36, and black top
ping and resurfacing SO miles of the
Washington Baltimore turnpike be-
ginning at Ammondale, Prince Geor-
ges county, to cost 1921, $1,000.
Among the projects for the present
construction season will be the elm
ination of hazardous grade crossings
at Halethorpe and Arbutus, Balti-
more county; hazardous condition
on Georgia avenue under the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad known as
the Silver Spring underpass; ap-
proaches to the proposed new bridge

tween Baltimore and Fort Small

Eight projects TO absorb $3.50
$50 of Federal funds have been ap-
proved by the Public Roads ADMINS
tration for the first fiscal year which
will end June 80, 1947. Seven OF
these projects have been placed un-
der contract.
The remaining one, involving Fed
eral funds totaling $4,000, will be
advertised and placed under con-
struction during the present con-
struction season.
The commission, by means of num-
erous contacts with county boards,
has established a program of secon-
Diary highway construction in each
county. 1t had been arranged that
Federal funds will be matched by
like amounts from funds made avail
able by the counties.

Farm Safety
-
Week July 2l-27

Tie total battlefield toll of World
War IL in killed, permanently disabl-
ed, and temporarily injuerd was list
ed at 100000 military personnel
LII contrast, in the peaceful pursuit Of
farming, accidents each year claim
100000 victims-half as many
again as on the battlefield in four
war years. "1hese are the cold fig
ures," says the Bureau of Agricultur-
al Economics, U. S. Department of
Agriculture. They are the back
ground and reason for Farm Safety
Week, July 81 to 81, proclaimed by
President Truman to focus attention
on accident prevention on farms.
81 1t will not be possible-ever-to
prevent all farm accidents. But it is
tragically true that in almost every
single case any particular accident
falls in the 'spreventable" classified
ton. "It need not have happened
if"
