Congregations To
Hear Nationwide
Broadcast Feb. %

On Sunday, February 20, sub
stantially every member of the
Episcopal Church will hear the
voice of their Presiding Bishop,
the Rt. Rev. Henry Knox Sheriff.,
by means of new and extraordi-
nary use of radio. Congregations
in Howard County and elsewhere
will sit in their pews and at exact
ly 11:32R A. NJ, the Presiding
Bishops voice will be heard, tell
ing of the needs of war-devastated
countries in Europe and Asia, and
urging Episcopal Church members
everywhere to accept their plain
duty and privilege of helping these
suffering millions. The same scene
and the same message will be re-
peated in thousands of Episcopal
churches all over the country, at
exactly the same time.
The Episcopal Church gave more
than a million dollars in 1947
through its Presiding Bishops
Fund for World Relief, and it in
tends to raise the same amount or
more in 1948. The entirely new use
of radio opens what is expected to
be very brief and highly success,
full campaign.
At the Sunday service February
20, when Bishop Sherrill's ten
minute address ends, the rectors of
Episcopal churches will tell their
people how they may have part
in this program of aid for the dis
tressed, through the Presiding
Bishops Fund. Then the opportun-
ity will be given for both immedi-
ate gifts and short-time pledges
At national Church headquarters
in New York City it was stated re.
Gently that "Our 100000 people
can raise $1,O0O,OO0 for the Presid.
ing Bishops Fund for World Re-
lief in ONE DAY if each parish
and mission will do it's share"
The radio address is 'live," that
is, it is given by Bishop Sheriff.
in New York at the time it is
heard, with the exception of some
remote places where the radio
hookup is impossible. In such in.
stances, electrical transcriptions
and photograph records will be
used.
AS Episcopal Church people are
being told of the forthcoming
event, and parish organizations are
busily engaged IN getting promises
of attendance, it is expected that
congregations will be extremely
large, so that most members of the
Church will hear the message. Ger
tainly well over million people
seated in Episcopal churches will
hear Bishop Sheriff. tell of what he
has seen personally in Europe, and
what is the Church's task at this
critical period in the worlds his
tory.
This is tie first time radio has
been used by any Church in such a
way, to convey a message to its
whole constituency at one time.

Farmers Labor
Service Is Now
Headed By State

On January 1, 1948, the Mary
land Farm Placement Service was
returned to State operation, the
State Extension Service having
relinquished control to the Mary
land Department of Employment
Security, Employment Service Di-
vision, it was announced by Russell
S. Davis, Chairman of the Depart
ment of Employment Security.
This service was transferred to
the Maryland State Extension
Service as an emergency measure
during the war, and had as its
director, DR.. T, B. Symons.
The demand for farm labor in
1913 will probably be the greatest
in peace-time history, and it is
anticipated that less labor will be
available for agriculture as the
new year begins, than at any time
since the end of the war. 1t will
also provide for recruitment and
movement of migratory workers.
AS the season advances and labor
needs increase, the program prov
ides for the employment of stu
dents, and for the volunteering of
temporary workers through COM
munity organizations, as well as
seasonal workers for industry.
D. A. Tucker will be the super
visor of the Farm Labor Program
for the State of Maryland. Mr..
Tucker, World War l veteran,
was educated at Iowa State Col
lege where he received his BIS.
degree in Horticulture, in 1922. He
was also Professor and Assistant
Horticulturist at V.P.I. Expermi-
nent Station and College in Vir-
ginia from 1922 to 1926. He was
formerly State Supervisor of EN-
Urgency Farm Labor for the Vir-
ginia State Extension Service. He
will make his headquarters in room
2035 O'Sullivan Building in Bal
timore.
From February through April,
w. A. Sherman, will serve as adj
visor to D. L. B. Fringer, Director
of the Employment Service Divi-
sion, in organizing the program
under this agency. Mr.. Sherman
was formerly Assistant State Sup
ervisor of the Emergency Farm
Labor Program in Maryland, and
had charge of the utilization of the
prisoners of war, in Agriculture.
Mr.. Fringer stated, eve consider
ourselves extremely fortunate in
securing the services of Messers.
Sherman and Tucker at the out
set of this program.
Mr.. Fringer further stated that
it would be the aim of the Employ
ment Service Division to run the
program in complete accordance
with the desires of the farmers and
packers of the State, and that he
intended to lean heavily upon the
advice and recommendations of the
various associations of farmers
and Gamers in Maryland.

anything -. all it did was de-
eide which of the major parties will
have the responsibility of solving
the farm problems already in exist
ence and those in the future" de-
clared Roger Fleming, director of
legislative activities, American Farm
Bureau Federation, Washington,
D. c., as he set the keynote for the
Montana State Farm Bureau annual
meeting in Bozeman Nov. II to 10.
Speaking before some 800 dele
gates from all parts of the state,
Fleming urged thinking and action
on important farm issues by mem
bers themselves through state and
national legislators. He added the
warning that political opportunists,
1.. in their post-election enthusiasm
or Illustration must not be allowed
to saddle farmers with unsound pro-
grams which are not acceptable to
farmers and not defensible before

He reminded further that all of
the major pieces of farm legislation
have come into being, not through
the support of just one major party,
but rather with material assistance
from both.

.Alzo J. Patton, "a years old, bar
tender at jeans Place in the 1900
block on Buckeye road, was in a
serious condition in St. Monica's
hospital last night from stab
wounds in the face, head and left
