TRUMAN'S PROGRAM DEPENDS
UPON CONGRESS

What President Truman will be able to do
in the four years that lie ahead will depend
entirely upon the willingness of the Congress
to go along with him in his recommendations.
1t is impossible, at the present time, to ascer-
tain the views intentions of the members of
Congress elected this month. It is certain, from
the size of the Democratic majority in the
House and Senate, that the President will have
greater support in the future than in the past,
but this does not mean that every recommen-
dation will be acted upon favorably by the
Congress.
It is generally assumed from the successful
fight that labor leaders made upon members
of congress who voted for the Taft-Hartley
Act that the sentiment in Congress will be
overwhelming in support of the Presidents
recommendation to this effect However, Rep
Jersey, co-author of the act, recently pointed
out that $50 members of the House who voted
for the act have been reelected and that in
the Senate SIS senators who voted to override
the Presidents veto are still in their seats.
Undoubtedly, President Truman will recon-
mend the repeal of the act which even his
opponent, Governor Dewey, admitted needed
some amending. The same Congressional line
up in regard to other issues will be important.
The outcome on many proposals will depend,
in a large degree, upon the effectiveness of
the Democratic organization in both House and
Senate
Whether this will be tightly-knit and easily
controlled group remains to be seen. The
chances are, however, that the next session of
Congress will present an interesting crossing
party lines on important issues.

THE MAN WHO WONDERED

Once upon time there man, who lived
III town and spent all his money away from
home He sure that he could take care of
himself and that his town didn't need anything
from him.
After a few years, his business wasn't as
keen as he had hoped it would be, his friends
didn't seem to think he was quite as important
as he thought he was and trade seemed to flow
by his doors.
The man began to watch his competitor, who
was intelligent advertiser, contributor to
the public purse, a man anxious to give his
time and thought to community projects and
believer in the fact that it pays to keep money
at home.
After noting all these factors, the man con-
tinued to wonder why some of his old custo-
mers went to the newcomer and why almost
Everybody had the idea that he was tight
wad but that his competitor was public

TEN MILLION VISITORS

This is Amortization Week. The schools of
the nation are playing host to 100000 visi-
tors who are expected to come into the class
rooms and see for themselves what is happen
ing in American education. Two major ques-
tions confront them:
l Are the schools equipped with modern
facilities and high-caliber, wel-trained teach
ers? The answer in general is no, especially in
rural districts and elementary schools. Last
year the new elementary teachers who en-
tered the field were only one fifth of the esti-
mated demand for each year of the next dec
ade. 1t is clear that more funds must be made
available to the depressed" areas of Ameri-
can education in order to attract better teach
ers and finance adequate programs. Federal
aid is an indispensable factor in meeting this
challenge.
2 Are the schools preparing students to
cope with the conditions of modern life to be
better citizens of their community, the nation,
and the world? Here the answer is yes or no,
depending the particular community and
school system. No federal aid can solve this
problem. Success can come only from more
enlightened citizens in each community, abler
school boards, superior teachers and superin-
tendents though research on national scale
can prove of utmost value in stimulating needed
changes in currcula and teaching techniques.
The key to all this lies in the hands of the
100000 visitors and their more numerous
friends and neighbors. Last year Americans
spent almost $4,000, 900, ,00O-or 81 100000
an hour-on liquor. When they become con-
vinced that the classroom is at least as import
ant the cocktail lounge, they may be ex-
pected to take more sober view of the sacri-
fices and efforts to be made for American edu-
cation.-Christian Science Monitor.

REAUTIFY MARION

While this is not the most appropriate time
to call attention to the idea, we hope that the
citizens of Marion will bear in mind the pos
sibility of adding to its beauty by Individual
exertion.
Practically every citizen of Marion can do
something to make his or her premises more
attractive. The Identification program includes
more than the planting of flowers and trees It
includes the proper upkeep of grounds and
buildings.
Some years ago, the writer, in the course of
a long automobile trip passed through many
towns and cities. One of them stands out promi-
nently because of the way property owners
maintained their lawns and homes.
In this day of automobile tourists, any town
or city give itself considerable advertising
by presenting attractive appearance Those
who travel will quickly notice the difference
and make mental note of the place which has
wellkept appearance.

THINGS TO LEARN

Learn to laugh: A good laugh is better than
medicine.
Learn to attend to your own business Few
men can do that we'll.
Learn to say kind things: Nobody ever re-
sents them.
Learn to avoid hasty remarks: They cause
much of the worlds trouble.
Learn to stop grumbing: See some good ir
the world, or keep the bad to yourself.
Learn to hide aches with a smile: Nobody
is much interested anyway.
And above all, learn to smile: It pays!

A LOAN FUND THAT MADE GOOD

Albert Edward Wiggam, noted author, who
writes a feature for the newspapers, reports
that DR.. Willis Sutton, educator of Atlanta,
Georgia, has loaned money to over one hundred
boys for their college education and that only
;one failed to repay the money loaned.
In addition the same writer says that the
Atlanta Rotary Club has raised $4,000 for
the purpose of assisting boys to go to college.
All but four per cent of the loans has been re-
paid and the fund has grown to $350,OOO
Through gifts from the boys who have become
wealthy solely by this education."
DR.. Wggam then asks the question: "Why
doesn't every city do likewise?" The answer
is not easy but, unfortunately, not every loan
fund has enjoyed the same success as that es-
-tablshed by DR.. Sutton and the Atlanta Rotary
Club.
We do not mean to suggest that the Atlanta
loan fund is the only one in the nation that has
been successfully administered. Nevertheless
the probability is that lack of proper supervs-
ion and carelessness in making loans have been
largely responsible for the dissipation of many
loan funds.
The main thing is for us not to get the idea
that it is impossible to provide assistance for
young and women without taking heavy
losses Even if unfortunate experience in the
past has made some generous individuals bit
wary, it might be a good idea to start over and
make the loan fund work.

4-H Camp Teaches
Conservation
BY JAMES B1RCHF1ELD

Observation-Disclosures such things as good
forestry practice wildlife preservation land use
and protection from erosion-has new meaning
to nearly 100 Maryland All Club boys. During
iour-day conservation camp, held at the Pleasant
Valley Recreation Area near Grantsville. Nd,
they learned that many phases of this important
subject are interrelated. For example, they saw
that conservation in high forest sections would
make for clearer and more abundant streams
and more fertile soil below The Pleasant
Valley Camp developed during depression years.
later was placed under direction of the Univer
sity of Maryland by the Soil Conservation Service

new alternate route 40 from Hagers-
town to Frederick is further blow
to this and other small towns, as
well as depriving the modern Route
40 travellers of a scenic and historic
portion of the old National High
way.
Funkstown has already been well
described in these columns. 1t is
one of the oldest towns of the coun-
ty, established by Jacob Funk, and
for a while called Jerusalem.
Hancock is another town report
ed to have been founded before 1870,
repeatedly by man of that name.
But l have no further information
than that on this town.
Smithsburg, located on the West
ern Maryland Railroad, from which
it benefited, was founded shortly
after 1900 by Christopher Smith.
Clear Spring, named the business
center of a rich agricultural district,
was founded in 1921 by Martin My
ers. At one time he wrote of it as
located ION the turnpike leading
from Baltimore to the western coun-
try, eleven miles from Hagerstown
and one mile east of North Noun

1t is interesting to note the early
growth of villages and compare it
with modern trends. Back in the
days when there was practically no
spare time for anyone, people lived
at or near their place of business.
Consequently, if there was a good
industry in a town, it grewI if not,
it did not grow. But today the quiet
villages are being sought out as
sites for homes. People are tired of
living next to the factories, and
where there is noise constantly. So
the places that were once avoided
are the very places that are now eX-
banding. 1 don't think we need to
worry that any city will get so big
that it will completely cover our
fair country.
