Several states have granted civil
service pay raises recently to help
maintain salaries abreast of
mounting living costs and offset the
tendency Of employees to seek high
er paying jobs in private enter
prise.
The civil service assembly re-
ports that during the last three
months California, Colorado, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York, Vir-
ginia and Wisconsin have adjusted
pay scales of some civil servants
and that other states including
Maryland are considering such ac-
ton.
Emergency action just taken in
Colorado raised highway depart
ment employees pay In an effort
to keep engineering and technical
talent in civil service rather than
allowing it to be syphoned into pri-
vate industry by offers Of more
money. Temporary department
raises were granted varying from
SIS to $45 per month. Action on
permanent raises of as much or
more is expected in the near future.

CIO Seen As Center
Of Communist Power

American Communists have been
more successful in seizing power in
the Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions than in the American Federation
of Labor, according to the report on
Communist activity by the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States.
Noting that Communists have
achieved some strength in AFL unions
in New York and Los Angeles and
scattered control elsewhere, the re-
port adds:
"They have achieved real footholds
in the painters union, in the hotel
and restaurant unions and in the film
and stage unions. They are seeking,
with some success, to infiltrate some
of the independent railroad unions
and the International Association of
Machinists.
"But their stronghold is the Con-
gress Of Industrial Organizations"

Shore:
81 am deeply grateful to the men
and women of the Eastern Shore for

Spectacle design has undergone
many changes through the CEN
turies. The first spectacle frames
were of wood, horn and leather.
They were pivoted together, like a
hinge, necessitating holding by
the hand when in use. Later the
bridge was devised, with the famil-
lar. prongs to be slipped over the
ears. AS fashions changed through
the years, so did spectacles. Some
times rims were thick, other
times thin. Tortoise shell went
through several cycles of popu-
larity. Lenses have been round,
square, oval, crescent and even
octagon-shaped. In recent years,
elliptical lenses, turned outward,
have been in favor. This year jew
elled spectacles, set with rhine
stones and colored gems, have be-
come a mode.

sonable expectation of reconciliation.
The Bill further states that one

namely, Dennis Eugene Parker, on
January 11th, 1941. That the plain
tiff has been resident of Cecil Coun-
ty and State of Maryland, since July,
1912; that the defendant is a nom

First u. S. Patent Was
Issued 10 Years Ago

Exactly 110 years ago, the United
States issued its first numbered pat
ent and 1t was for a locomotive, the
Association Of American Railroads
reveals.
The patent was designed to give
q multiplied tractive power to the
locomotive and to prevent the evil
Of the sliding Of the wheels" It
was issued to John Ruggles, a
United States senator from Maine,
who was largely responsible for
the passage of the act Of 1885
which set UP the present-day Amer
ican system Of granting patents and
administering the system properly.
Senator Ruggles' invention was a
gear-ike arrangement for locomo-
tive wheels and railroad rail
which would mesh for grades.
The invention which was accord
ed the honor Of Patent No. / was
outmoded as soon as it was patent
ed. About that same time a loco
motive startled the world by pull
ing train Of cars up a grade with
out the aid of outside cogs or gears.
That rapid progress has continued,
until now the average locomotive
contains almost 1000 patented fea-
lures, the Association of American
Railroads said.

THE HOMEMAKERS' CORNER

Have you tried the delicious apple
topping for ice cream, cake, baked
apple, or even plain bread pudding
If not, try it, suggests Miss Margaret
McPheeters, nutrition specialist for
the university of Maryland exten-
sion service. You can keep it on hand
and have it ready for use all during
the holiday season.
Just take 4 cups of chopped, tart,
juicy apples and l cup of white or
ligt shyrup and cook until the apples
are tender and the juice is thick. Fla
vor with fresh mint, or TIE mint fla
voring If the color is pale green,
add little green coloring.
You can make a quantity at time
and keep it in the refrigerator in
jars. When ready to use, top your ice
cream or dessert with this apple top
ping. Put on peak of grated cocoa
unit, fresh, canned or dried, and a bit
of red jelly or cherry. 1t is as lovely
to look at, says Miss McPheeters, as
it is delicious to taste. The natural
color of the dessert, with the red,
white and green topping adds muck
to the enjoyment of the meal.
Apples are like milk, eggs, pota-
toes and many other basic foods in
that there seems to be no end to the
variety of their uses. They are deli
cious in plain salads or desserts;
cooked they add much in flavor, color
and texture to any dish.

Army Develops New
Sleepin0 Bag. Tent


A new lightweight sleeping bag
for use in cold, wet climates and a
new squad shelter tent housing IL
men are among the latest subjects
of experiments by the army quar-
termaster corps. The sleeping bag
weighs seven and one-half pounds
and consists of layers of resin-coat-
ed nylon separated by fibre-glass
insulation. Sleeping bags issued
during the war were not found
suitable in wet climates. The outer
layer of the newly developed bag
prevents moisture from entering,
while the inner layer, next to the
occupant, overcomes the chilling
effects of body vapor.
The new shelter tent is revolu-
tionary in design, employing no
center poles, ropes or stakes. 1t
is 16 feet wide, 80 feet in length,
feet high at the ridge and 6 feet
high at the caves. The frame is
made of steel sections which fold
and nest together. The roof is of
corrugated sheet aluminium which
can be nested for packing. The
upper portion of the side and end
walls is Of sheet aluminium, hinged
outward for ventilation and pro-
lection against rain. The remain
der of the sidewalks are of canvas.
Broken down and packed, the
shelter weighs 1,180 pounds and
occupies % cubic feet. 1t can be
erected by average troops in six
man hours.

ScHW Speakers
Condemn Race
Discrimination
;ov. Arnall Accepts Award


New Orleans (NNPA) - The
Thanksgiving Biennial convention
of the Southern Conference for
Human Welfare last Friday heard
several speakers condemn race
aggregation and discrimination,
praise the gains made in Kidding
Congress of reactionary members,
and plead for closer cooperation
between white and colored labor.
An affront to the delegates and
citizens was openly given by the
city last Thursday when munich
pal authorities insisted that col
ored and white people attending
the opening session, at which Sem
ator Claude Pepper, Democrat,
of Florida, was the speaker, would
have to be Segregated in accord
ance with local ordinances.
Rather than submit to race seq
regation, the Conference moved
its opening session from the NUM-
cipal Auditorium to Carpenters
Hall. This action was taken as
the result of the insistence of
Ben C. Brown, chairman of the
New Orleans Auditorium Com
mission, and Millar U. SCHNEIDER,
building manager, that state and
municipal ordinances required seq
regation of audiences.
Clark Foreman, conference Pres
ident, charged that enforced seq
regation could not be accepted
without violating fundamental
American principles"
Senator Pepper praised the con-
ference ''for working toward the
growth and development of the
South" and to protect "the liber-
ties and freedom of all our peo-
pies"
He charged that the North in
tends to keep the South colony"
and that it would be a disservice
to the South for it to support
the Republican party or for South
ern members of Congress to con-
tinue their coalition with north
ern Republicans.
Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune,
president of the National Coun-
Gil of Negro Women, shared the
platform Thanksgiving night with
Senator Peter and DR.. Foreman.
She declared the time had come
for the South to face it's prob
lens squarely and for the better
class of citizens to do more than
deplore lynchings while not ap-
proving of them. She condemn
ed the PHILOSOPHERS of the Bilbos,
Rankins and Talmadges, but prais-
edthe voices of "the Peppers, the
Grahams, the Blacks and the Au-
brew Williamses."
DIR. Foreman said the conference
was denounced by those "who rule
the South and ruin it," adding:
eyes, we are threat to dishonest
politics of the South and the re-
dictionaries who rule it,
A choice between liberalism and
Jim Crow was offered the South
by Palmer Weber, of the CLOS
Political Action Committee, who
was one of the speakers at FRI
days session.
