Veterans Warned To
Guard Against
Theft of Checks

Veterans and all those who receive
Treasury checks are warned to be ON
their guard against mail box thieves.
the acting postmaster said Friday.
The recent passage of the CT term
mai leave bill which will require 15,-
100000 checks be mailed out makes
the warning even more urgent.
This particular type crime, steal
ing government checks from mail
boxes is increasing steadily In its an
nual report of June 80 the Secret Ser
vice disclosed that nearly 5000 forged
government checks were received for
investigation last year The remark
able thing about the crime is not how
many Of the easily identified en-
vclopes are taken from mail boxes
but the ease with which they are
cashed. Merchants have been par
ticularly gulHble but banks and even
the treasury department itself have
fallen for the forgeries.
Another factor which makes the
crime a widespread one is the fact
that except for regular allotments the
checks are unexpected. Tax refunds
and the future terminal leave checks
may not be missed for over a year.
However, the Secret Service has a
high percentage of success in track
ing down the forgers.

Quiz For MdrYldnders
Answer to Question I:

HHS"CT 10 SbCSltO0 IL
Next to dairy cattle, beef cat
tie and poultry, the breeding of
horses is Maryland's largest
livestock industry. Today over
430,102 acres of Maryland land
are devoted to raising horses
whose total value has been con-
servatively estimated by the
Maryland Horse Breeders Asso-
citation at $2,225,000. Farmers
welcome this increase in horse
breeding in Maryland because
it means more employment for
workers, a good market for hay
and straw and more acres in
6oil-conserving grass lands.
Answer to Question 2:
Taxpayers of Maryland pay
the salaries of the Maryland
Racing Commissioners. Any citi-
zen of Maryland who wants to
know where Maryland racing
money comes from and what is
done with this money may write
for their annual financial report.
Address the Maryland Racing
Commission, Maryland Trust
Bldg, Baltimore 2, Maryland.

gram and gave special credit to w.
w. Dawson, chairman of the local
board since it was first established.
Mr.. Dawson, his associates and
the citizens of Garrett County did a
magnificent job" Mr.. Mccormick
said. "The program in this county
was the most difficult to administer
in the whole state because Of the
great distances involved
But in a wonderful display of
public spiritedness, Mr.. Dawson and
his committee drove the pro-
gram to success. The Baltimore Of
flee tried at all times to be aware of
the county's unusual problems but it
was Mr.. Dawson's leadership which
made our success to date possible.
The rationing accomplishments, for
example, were most outstanding.
The anti-inflation show must go
on | ask miners and farmers, in fact
al citizens, to help enforce ceiling
prices.
Congress and the Decontrol Board
have marked the way for all of US.
Throughout Garrett County as
throughout the rest of the state, we
have STAYED off initiation thus far.
We can win the battle completely by
a little extra effort in the months to
come"

to Baltimore County; although
the track is not in Baltimore

Rolling stock and tracks took an unmercful
beating. Hundreds Of millions of dollars will
be required for rehabilitation. And typically.
the railroads expect to do it on their own
hook even while they continue to pay mil
lions of dollars a day in taxes to the Federal
government.
However, railroad leaders are emphatic
on one point. Public policy toward transport
tation in general must be constructive All
forms of transportation should be regulated
and taxed on an equal basis. Only if this is
done will traffic flow to the form Of carrier
best suited to carry it.
In the long run the attitude of the public
will determine the future of the railroads.
