The town commissioners of Rising
Sun have rented the vacant lot at the
intersection of Walnut and Queen
streets, and will convert it into a
public parking lot for autos, when
weather conditions are favorable for
out door work. The lot is now owned
by Joseph Pogue. Years ago, when
lovers of horses delighted to handle
the reins, this lot was occupied by a
large livery stable, conducted by the
late H. c. Cummings. MI. Cummings
always had stable of eighteen OF
twenty fine driving horses and even
then was not able to keep up to the
demand for teams" as they were
called.

Preparing For Spring
Forest Fire Season

Forest Supervisor Charles w.
Rayles of Principle Furnace, and
Forest Guard Charles w. Brown of
North East, attended the spring
meeting of the Northern Maryland
Forest District in Bel Air last week.
They studied forest fire prevention,
forest conservation matters and took
short course in lumber grading.
These forest officers are getting
ready for the spring forest fire sea-
son and solicit the support of debris
burners, dump operators, and smok-
ers in preventing woods and grass
fires.

Dear Fellow Worker:

Dear Fellow Worker:
The time is at hand to bring all
our efforts to bear against peacetime
CONSUMPTION. 1t is being considered
this week in Congress, first in COM
mittee and then it may be reported
out for action in house. TIE change
asked for by the American Legion
has many very dangerous features to
the freedom which our Country has
always stood for, not the least of
which would be threat to college
education. Colleges not offering mill
tary training would be put out of
business if this passed.
There are many other reasons why
we all should oppose any compulsory
CONSUMPTION law, and as Miss Smart
tells US, to be sure and stress the i'm
moral conditions around the camps
caused very largely by the presence
of beer and liquor so easily available.
Congressman Dudley G. Roe, our
Representative, has said that he will
vote against CONSUMPTION of any kind
so be sure to tell him that you are
counting on him. Write him at once.
Write also to Senators Tydings and
Radcliffe. Be sure to take notice of
Tydngs Resolution, which he intro
duced very short time ago, calling
for disarmament by 1850. This is the
solution of the threat of war, and our
senator deserves on support in every
effort to secure its passage.
Thank you for anything you can do
along these lines, as well as for all
you have already done to help when
your country needs to know what
you are thinking.

Pres. Cecil Co.. w. G. 7. U.

$4,000, 900 When Governor Took


Office
With the redemption this month
of $4,000 in State Bonds, the to-
tai bonded indebtedness of the State
as of February % will be further re.
duced to $21,933,000, TIE lowest fig
ire in more than twenty years, Gov
ernor Herbert r. O'Conor has an.
nounced.
The. cancellation of this $4,000
of bonds, the second reduction in the
States Indebtedness during the pre-
sent calendar year, will be followed
by redemption on April l and Is OF
$4,000 and $453,000 of bonds re-
spectively, while in June, further ma
TURTLES will result in the redemption
of $4,000 of bonds on June / and
$337,OOO on June Is.
BY the en- dof this fiscal year, on
June 80, the total of bonded debt OF
the State, which was in excess of
100000 when he took office in
'39 and had been reduced to $685.
O98,00O at tke end of the fiscal year,

Approximately $2S,000,000 of State

This is definitely in line with his de-
sire, Governor O'Conor emphasized,
to see the State debt paid off entirely
