sight land was a Jew. Jewish peo- pie founded the first orphanages and old-age homes in the colonies. In the Revolutionary War their enlistment in General Washing toms army exceeded their ratio in the population of the colonies. A Jewish man,, Chain Solomon of Philadelphia, gave of his wealth and services to guarantee the vic tory over tyranny. He died a tu- bercular bankrupt, leaving a wife and four children in poverty-cas- ualties to his patriotism.
 Lead Abolition Movements:
 ENGLAND ABOLISHED ISLA- VERY before America, and the first person to emancipate his slaves was a Jewish resident of Jamaica, West Indies, who gave them their freedom in 1882. Adolph Cremieux, a Jewish statesman of l France, denounced slavery at an anti-slavery convention in 1840. In America Jewish rabbis led in the abolition movement. The greatest individual philanthropies towards Negroes in all times have been i undertaken by Jewish people-ir education, in the theatrical world and in the support of social agen- cies devoted to a betterment ot Negro conditions.
 Of More Importance:
 BUT OF MORE IMPORTANCE than these kindnesses is the fact that in the war in which the Ne gro earned his decorations Jews were the first road blocks against | the Nazi-fascist hordes. Their six million dead, immolated beneath the Nazi juggernaut as it rode over Europe, slowed it down, giving time for our brave allies, particu- larly the Soviet Union, to gut and destroy it. Negroes are safe in Louisville because Jews died in Lublin. A Negro can walk in some freedom in Wilmington because uneven rows of rutted earth mark the common grave of the mur- dered of Warsaw.
 The Negro on the subway could ride abroad in public unfettered by the shackles of fascist enslave- ment because a fighting Jew sat next to him.

IMPRESSIONS OF THE RELIGION OF
 HENRY WALLACE

One of the major differences be- tween Secretary of Commerce Henry Agard Wallace and some of the petty politicians who infest this government is that he has re- igion. Like Daniel in a Lions Den he refuses to bow down to BaaI! Wallace is often called a radical. Well, most true believers in a Iiv- ing God of justice for all mankind have always been called radicals! Moses, Joshua, Amos, Hosea, Mi cah, Isaiah were Old Testament prophets it is true, but they were radicals and so were Jesus Christ and St. Paul. Any man who frank ly and openly challenges the rich es and comforts of the few in the behalf of the many is called a radical. Nowadays, of course, it is more fashionable to call them Communists.
 During a brief talk with Secre- tary Wallace last Sunday after noon I wondered what it was that made him tick. I asked him and I listened to his testimony before some fifteen hundred people! The man, literally, is on fire! No wonder the capitalists of this country are afraid of him! Every idea of his is apparently charged with the uncompromising zeal of a just God for his people. Henry Wallace dares to believe in that kind of a God! Calmly and frank ly he expresses that belief. He tries to practice it in his depart ment of the government! That is why he is dangerous.
 The vast majority of the power full men who oppose Wallace in this country cannot understand him because the God he insists upon worshipping is God of love for all men regardless. This God

 HOME AT LAST
hONAA Al A1AA1 By Edna l.. Harrison

By Edna l.. Harrison 'Tis grand to see the boys again Who took off into the blue, To recall their pleasant voices, Their great courage staunch and
 true.
 'Tis grand to look into their eyes And find democracy there, Tolerance for their fellowman, And a friendliness that's rare. 'Tis grand to know they're home at last,
 These pilots out of the sky, Who fought a bitter battle And have seen their buddies die We welcome them with open
 arms;
 Only our eyes say: "Well done! But side by side we'll walk along To the dawn of freedoms sun.

Army To Award
Canal Bridge
Contract
Chesapeake City Span To
Be High-Level Type

A contract will be awarded this
week by the War Department for the
construction of new S3,0OO,OO0
high--level fixed bridge over the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal at
Chesapeake City, Cecil County.
Construction is expected to start
Immediately after the awarding of
the contract
The new bridge will replace the
lift bridge which was destroyed wheE.
one of it's bases was struck by an oil!
tanker nearly four years ago. Since
that time motor traffic through Ches,
apeake City across the canal has been
handled by ferry operated by the
Army Engineers.
The new bridge will be of the same
type as that constructed at St.
Georges. Del, after the old bridge
there was destroyed when struck by
a freight vessel.
Col F. F. Frech, U. S. District En-
gineer in Philadelphia, said the new
bridge will cost approximately $3,-
100000.
The main center span will be 5S5
feet clear, between inside piers. The
bottom of the bridge will have q clear
ance of 1875 feet above mean high
water. The overall length of the span
and main approaches will be 1000
feet
Tke new bridge will be the first
link in the proposed dual highway
from Elkton, down the Eastern Sheer
to be known as the Eastern Shore
Highway. Work on the first stretch
of the highway, between Elkton and
Chesapeake City, has been started.
The lift bridge at Chesapeake City
was struck by Pan-American tank
er on July %, 1912. The bridge fell
on TIE tanker and two of the three
tugs accompanying it.
The St. Georges Bridge collapsed
on Jan, 10, 1889, when the freight
vessel Waukegan struck it.
Replacement of the st. Georges
lift bridge by the fixed bridge, west
of St. Georges, resulted in st. Geor-
ges surrendering it's town charter, be-
cause OF the eurtailment of municipal
activities as a result of the topo-
graphical division of the town.
Chesapeake City town officials are
conjecturing as to the effect of their

STATE PLANS
TO RAISE
RABBITS

Maryland hunter swill be shooting
homegrown rabbits instead of Mis-
souri, imported ones, as soon as plans
go through for developing natural
rabbit propagation areas in State for
ests, Ernest A. Vaughn, State game
warden. announces.
Mr.. Vaughn returned from three
day tour of Garrett, Washington and
Allegany counties where he surveyed
State-owned land which could be
used for rabbit habitats.
He said rabbits grown in these
leased in "overshot" parts of the
counties. The State would save ap-
proximately $4,000 annually since
the areas would not have to be re-
stocked after the native rabbit pop
ulation is given chance to grow, Mr..
Vaughn said.
Planting of clover, grass and ever
green cover areas is expected to begin
this spring, Mr.. Vaughn said, adding
that he hoped eventually to extend
the plan to all parts of Maryland. He
explained the program was borrowed
from one Pennsylvania was using
with good results.
The Game Commission buys its
rabbits from Missouri and releases
them during the hunting season, No
vember Is to January l. These rab-
bits arc often so weakened by their
journey that they don't survive long,
he added.
