FAT SALVAGE FOR SOAP

Household fat salvage collections
in the last three years have account
ed for z to percent of the total sup
ply of inedible yellow tallow and
greases-much of which is used in
soap making-the U. S. Department
of Agriculture reports, emphasizing
that the need for salvage is still ur-
gent. In the first four months Of this
year the collections were about 20
per cent smaller than in the same
month in 1916 but were about 40 per
cent larger than in the last four
months of 1915, the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics says. The in
crease in early 1916 is traceable to
bigger civilian supplies of pork i'll
these months following supplies OF
pork and bacon in late 1915 that
were so light that housewives could
not accumulate much fat to be turned
in. Advertising the need of fats also
helped.

GOVERNOR SETS STATES
SURPLUS AT $11,932,469

Governor Herbert R. O'Conor has
announced that at the close of the
States fiscal year on June Goth last,
the State had a surplus of 81, 932,-
469.5O.
The Chief Executive asserted that
from the amount in the State Trea-
sury as of the beginning of the fiscal
year 100000 is reserved as a work
ing fund in addition to 1867, 529 29
earmarked for Budget balancing
purposes for the present years fiscal
operations. This leaves an unappro-
priated surplus of $8,264,940.21.
With this sum available, the Chief
Executive explained, the incoming
Governor and Legislature will have a
sizeable sum available both for bud
getmaking purposes as we'll as to
meet any new situations which may
arise.
Referring to the fact that extra
costs for food and personnel in State
hospitals and for unexpected delays
in the operation of state departments
will have to be met during the fiscal
year, the Governor declared tEat it
is fortunate that the States surplus
is so large as to be more than able to
meet any deficiency in the several de-
partmental appropriations.
Increases of receipts over esti-
mates have naturally contributed to
the sizeable States surplus. In addi-
ton, economies in the functioning Of
the State Departments have helped
to bring about the desired result.
"Tha credit rating of the State
has been high and at TIE same time
we have made consistent efforts to
reduce tax levies. The State tax on
real estate is now at the lowest point
in IS years and l am of the belief
that it can be reduced continuously
until it is abolished altogether.
"All in all l have no hesitancy i'll
declaring that Maryland financial
condition was never healthier. We
intend to keep it in this condition
througi. the economical and efficient
operation of State Government until
we can turn over the affairs of the
State into the hands of the next ad-
ministra ton.

UNDERSTANDING THE TB
PATIENT

Tie family of the tuberculosis pa
tient can aid him greatly if sincere
effort is made to understand his prob
lens. in entering a sanatorium for
treatment, the patient may be sepa-
rated from home for the first time.
Naturally, he is homesick and an
xious.
Since tuberculosis is a disease af-
fecting the whole body, the patietn is
irritable at times, perhaps for the
| first time in his life. He cannot I'M
derstand his irritability, so believes
there must be something wrong with
his new surroundings. He may be
worried about his own condition,
without being aware of this.
Such anxiety is apt to show itself
in his general attitude toward his
fellow patients, those working about
him, or his family. His requests may
seem unreasonable, but to the patient
they are very important and real.
Sometimes patient finds "an es-
cape" in being able to complain to
some one about the food, the nurses,
tine, and so he pours out all his
grievances to members of the family
VIXEN they visit him. These may not
be pleasant topics of conversation but
if it relieves the patient, it is the
duty of the visitor to be sympathetic.
The complaints may be well founded
at times.
The patient needs to be encouraged
to get we'll. He needs an incentive to
follow doctors orders. Only then will
he cooperate with the hospital and
the staff He needs to want to get
we'll
Probably never before in his life
has the patient had so much solitude
so much time to think. He should be
helped to spend his time thinking
constructive thoughts After awhile,
he will be able to face his new life
with renewed hope and faith.
The fact that a patient must rest
does not mean that ne can have no
interests. He should not be skut out
from the world. He should be made
to feel he still has part in the life
beyond the hospital walls, the life to
which he will eventually return. The
family can do even more than the
doctor in keeping his interests alive.
The family should try to understand
that it is important to keep the pa
tient interested in the world outside.
Since the patient is in rather help
less position, the emphasis should be
on happy events The patient should
not be made anxious about circum-
stances he cannot change.

Heads And Tails

The executive board of Go has
asked the President of the United
States to call conference of labor
and industry leaders to consider i'm
mediate wage increases. That same
thing was pulled off several months
ago. The result was flop. Boss Phil
Murray still cries out loud for wage
increases to offset advanced living
costs. Of course, the workers have
suffered enough serious losses of i'll
come as a result of strikes. But these
same workers are getting top wages
while the employers throughout the
country are not getting comparable
increases in prices for their products
The plants do not receive enough ma
terials to keep the factories running
full time.
Now, all those monkey-shines prior
to TIE upsets that overlook the auto
mobile. coal steel and railroad or
carnations didn't help the national
economy. There were plenty of Off
cial and unofficial conferences of la.
Dor and industry representatives
They were failures.
Just because there is continued
confusion in the Government is nc
reason to multiply the number OF
cock-eyed schemes-or to apologize
for prices while the OPA plays the
game of heads l win and tails you
lose" If the illogical requests of la
Dor leader Murray are approved by
President Truman the who econo-
mic system of the country will be
damaged. Then why should the CIC
try more of it's rackets?
What this country needs is to gel
back to normal.

THE NEW AIRFREIGHT
INDUSTRY

The calamity howlers who have
preached that the era of new business
frontiers in America was ended will
find the story of airfreight as unpala-
table as a fuzzy persimmon. The
birth of the airfreight industry by
air-trained CTS seeking new field
of opportunity once more is a remind
er to the pessimists that the creation
of new business frontiers in America
is limited only by the imagination
and industry of courageous men with
the blood of pioneers in their veins.

to help farmers upon whose property
members shoot A few dollars distri-
buted on a per-foot basis for game
foods left standing would go far to-
ward creating better spotrsmen-far-
mer relations.
With any farm program, however,
there are two points which must be
kept in mind First of all, farmers
have not yet secured sufficiently high
prices for their produce to allow for
underwriting any farm-game pro-
gram that is going to cost them more
tkan a moderate amount of labor.
Second, the program must not inter-
fere with regular farm routine. Most
farmers have little spare time and
work long, hard days. They will glad
ly lend helping hand whenever they
can gracefully do SO without inter-
rupting their schedule.

WELFARE OF FARM GAME

For the most part, farmers are as
much, if not more interested in the
welfare of farm game than are sports
men. In local research project
which we completed a few years ago
down along the Pocomoke, we sought
farmer cooperation in the winter
feeding of farm game. Through the
assistance of the game warden force,
we secured cooperation from hun
dreds Of farmers 1t was obvious that
they were interested, merely waiting
for chance toshelp in any way pos
sible.
On that particular program, we
explained to the farmers the vital
role played by game foods during
critical winter months. Game, partic-
ularly game birds, are hard put to
secure enough food to keep them in
good shape through the winter This
is the critical period that determines
whether hunting will be good, bad OF
Indifferent the following fall. OF
course, the nesting season is import
ant, but of even greater Importance
is the holding over of satisfactory
breeding stick in good condition.
On the Pocomoke project, we
merely asked the farmers to refrain
from harvesting the four or five rows
of corn along the fencerows. Or, il
the crop was soybeans, cowpeas buck
wheat or one of the grasses, we ask
ed that he leave standing striI
about twelve to fifteen feet in width
In other words, we tried to take adj
vantage of whatever type of crop the
farmer already had on the field. This
approach to winter game food plant
ing than the mere standard request
for planting certain grains as sup
piled by the Department of Game ano
Inland Fish. Farmers were far more
prone to sacrifice few rows of theil
crops for game than to go to all the
additional effort of making specia
paintings.
Tkis is program in which the
sportsmen can render considerable
assistance. Most tall grain crops
when grown for hay are cut in Aug
ust or September. However, if grown
for seed, harvesting is held over un
til October or November.
If you ordinarily hunt on a partic
ular farm, you are probably we'll &C
quainted with the famrer. 1t is al
ways demonstration of good sports

STATESMEN INCREASE THEIR

Washington, d. c., August 12-
There's a lot of cheering being done
by Congressional claquers over the
achievement of reducing the number
of standing committees. This is ex-
pected to improve efficiency and save
the SOL members of the two Houses
, of Congress a lot of time in holding
hearings.
The new legislation transfers a
large part of the out-of-office leg
work of Congressman to increased
army OF clerks, secretaries and en-
ployees.
Most important, the members of
Congress have. boosted their pay so
that the statesmen will not suffer by
reason Of the increased high cost of
living. The next Vice President will
get $22 1870 and the Speaker of the
House will receive S20,025 annually.
Each Senator, Representative in Con-
gress, and delegates and commissions
ers from territories are being sup
piled an administrative assistant who
will receive compensation at the rate
of So, 900 a year.
Thus, on January 1, 1947, the an
nual salaries of the elected officers of
the Senate and House of Rrepresen-
tatives shall be increase bdy SO per
centum. The clerical STATS through
out the legislative branch of the Gov
eminent will be increased in number
and a new flock of assistants will en-
gage in every activity of Congress.

ceives 4 contribution of $500 or more
to help do something, or do Uncle

bers are to be scared-away, hereafter.
There are SO printed pages in the
Senate bill introduced by Chairman
LaFollette for the reorganization of
Congress. For many weeks the gen
eral discussion of the measure in
Washington was unfavorable; but
when il came to a vote late in July it
went through both Houses with
whoops and cheers. Congress just
hopes for improvement in its machin-
cry. One thing is sure: Senators and

ment privileges.
The whole performance supports
President Truman's oft-repeated com
plant that the salaries of high oper-
ating officials of the Government
must be increased.
AS matter of fact nearly all OF
these officials and brass hats working
under the Administration are already
overpaid.
