Mothers have often asked me If
ir is advisable to let baby cry for
any length of time. Well, of course,
it is generally believed it doesn't
harm any baby to cry a little each
day-it helps develop his lungs and
in a sense is a form Of exercise.
But crying for long periods usually
means something is wrong and
steps should be taken to stop the
crying.
Remember, a baby doesn't have
many ways for expressing his
desires and usually crying is an
expression of hunger. If crying
seems to be too frequent and can
be stopped by feeding, consult your
doctor, he may wish to increase
the food intake or start feeding
other foods.
One food that most doctors are
recommending be fed baby at an
early date is strained meat. You
mothers will be glad to know that
specially prepared canned meat is
now available for babies made
according to doctors specifications
and approved by the American
Medical association. Your baby
needs proteins such as in meat for
proper growth and development.
Then, too, meat actually helps stim-
ulate the flow of gastric juices and
may aid in the digestion Of other
foods.
- Of course, you'll want to check
with your own doctor about foods
for your baby. By all means, do...
he'll tell you just when to include
orange juice, strained fruits, veg.
etables and meat in baby's diet.

To Have Hearing
On Hospital Report

The Hospital Survey Committee Of
the Maryland State Planning COM
mission has completed its report en-
titled "Hospital Survey and Plan for
State of Maryland," in compliance
with Public Law 725 of the 18th Con-
gress, known as the Hospital Survey
and Construction Act"
To provide for public discussion Of
the committees findings and recon-
mendations public hearing has been
set for December 4, at p. m., to be
Eeld in the auditorium of Bennett
Hall, 23rd and St. Paul streets, Bal
timore Is.
All parties interested in operation,
construction or utilization of hospital
facilities in the state, as we'll as rep
resentatives of local, county and state
agencies, civic groups, etc, are urged
to attend. They will be afforded full
opportunity to express their views.
According to |. Alvin Pasarew, di-
rector, the purpose is to acquaint all
interested persons with principles
which will govern the ALLEGATION of
Federal funds for hospital construc-
ton in Maryland under provisions of
the act. Specific projects are not to
be considered at this time, he said.
1t is believed that the plan proposed
complies with federal requirements
and its approval by the Surgeon
General of the United States will
qualify the state to receive federal
grants-in-aid for hospital construc-
ton. For the next five years Mary
land may receive $S7O,30O per year
in federal funds, which will be avail
able for matching of $1,740,600 Of
local funds, at a ratio Of 81 to 81.
A copy of the report is available
at Memorial hospital, Cumberland,
from Benjamin W. Wright, superin-
tendent.

Declares cs Friends I
Remarks on Forestry
Act Are In Error

H. c. Buckingham, acting state
forester, in a letter to the editor,
points out number of errors of fact
contained in Clifford Friends adver-
tisement last week. His letter follows
George H. Hanst, Editor
The Republican
Oakland, Maryland
Dear Mr.. Hanst:
| have read with very keen interest
Clifford Friends letter in your issue
Of November 13, together with your
editorial reply. In my judgment moth
ing more need be said on Wis parti-
cular subject.
At this time, however | want to cal!
to your attention, for whatever use
YOU may choose to make of the in
formation, certain errors of fact con-
tanned in Mr.. Friends advertisement
in the same issue, headed "Why We
Oppose The Forest ConServancy Act"
Mr.. Friend says, at requires every
land owner to get a permit from
these public boards before cutting his
own timber" Land owners who cut
timber for their personal use need not
procure approval of the board In
many cases the timber is cut not by
the owner but by timber operator
1t is the operator who deals with the
local board, as provided for in the
Forest Conservancy Districts Act.
But Mr.. Friend says, "The land
owner will be required to pay the
local board for the inspection, by the
state forester, before any permit is
granted to cut the timber" This is not
so. Examinations of timber tracts are
made by the Department of State
Forests and Parks without cost. If
the owner wishes to have his timber
marked by a Department forester,
this also is done free of cost on tracts
up to 25 acres. On areas in excess of
this charge of $15 day is made
to cover necessary overhead. No
owner, however, is required to have
his timber marked. That is er+ ;rely
up to him.
Further, Mr.. Friend SAYS, "If a per-
NIT to cut the timber is granted, a
license must be obtained by the owner
before he can start to cut. Cost for
license $40" A timber operator is re-
quired to register annually with the
Parks. The registration fee is $40.
No operator need pay more than this.
In short, he does not have to pay $40
for every tract he cuts over. Mr..
Friend also says inspection of lands
covered by a permit from the local
forestry board, both prior and sub
sequent to cutting, must be paid for
by the owner. This is simply not so.
No charge is made for such inspec-
tions.
Then Mr.. Friend saws. "Before
moving a saw mill or other couipment
from one location to another, the
owner must notify the local Board
and obtain permission to do so. under
penalty of a fine" Timber operators
are required to notify local boards
when they move their mills, but that
Is all. No permission need be OBJ

AVILTON MAN IS
Held IN CASE OF
HIGH SCHOOL GIRL
Mother Accuses Garrett County
LabOrer of Having Relations
with 13-Year Old Girl

Leroy Swauger, 33, Avilton, ac-
cused by a crippled Grantsville mother
Of having relations with her 13-year-
old daughter in her presence while
she was unable to prevent it, is being
held in the county jail for investi-
cation, Maryland State Police re-
ported.
Police said Mrs. Minnie Mckenzie,
the mother, obtained a warrant for
Swauger's arrest Sunday after she
told Magistrate J. U. Stanton that the
prisoner stayed at her home from No
vtmber 10 to ii and the affairs in
volving her daughter occurred night
ly.
Ordered from Home
Mrs. Mckenzie, according to police,
said that when she ordered Swaugcr
from her home after discovering the
action on November IL, he threatened
to "cut me up with an AK and throw
me to the dogs" Police said the
mother is crippled, suffering from a
fractured hip that did not heal proper
ly.
Swauger, an unemployed laborcr,
was arrested in Avilton Sunday night
but denied the charges, police said.
Police said the victim, Grants
vile High school student, told them
that Swaugcr had had affairs with
her prior to the most recent incident,
and they had not determined if the
child consented to the action at her
home. A charge of statutory rape
may be made since Maryland law
places the age on consent at ii.
Walter w. Dawson, States At
torney, who just returned to Oakland
from Baltimore early this morning,
said no hearing would be held today
hut that an investigation would be
made.
Swauger told police he is a veteran
Of World War II and spent two and
onc-half years overseas.
