bfy Experience at Boys State is
Reported by Ronald Nowland

reported by Ronald Nowiand
Friday morning we, the elected
members of Boys State assembled
at Legislative Hall. From $50 am.
to 1920 am. We registered, re-
ceived our programs and other
documents and met our respective
senators and representatives. After
our registration we went to our ap-
pointed places. I joined the rest
of the senators. We were divided
into two groups. We sat on the
side that our sponsor did. The
minority group, of which 1 was a
member, was given the name of
Conservative, the other side, the
majority, the name of Liberal.
Having been informed of our party
afhliation, we then had our party
caucus; we chose our minority
leader, placed the attaches in the
positions We wanted them in and
picked our candidate for the Pres
ident Pro Tenn of the Senate, which
happened to be me. At lunch we
were the guests of the American
Legion Post No. 2 in Dover. After
lunch 1 returned to Legislative Hall
and had some bills and a resolution
printed up and covered. About
1:30 pm. the Senate reconvened
and we were further instructed in
the machinery of the Senate.
At 2:30 pm. there was a joint
session of the House and Senate at
which time the Governor and the
Boys State Governor spoke. After
the speeches we spent most of the
afternoon in session with the Sem
ate.
At ZOO pm. we were again the
guests of the American Legion,
this time at a banquet in the Hotel
Richardson. There We're many in
teresting speakers, of whom Gov
ernor Carvel was one.
Saturday the Boys State legis-
iators took over the entire legisla-
ture. The first action of the Sen
ate was to elect a President Pro
Tenn. I, being the candidate of the
minority party, had little hope of
being elected, but through private
conference with members of the
majority I managed to get the one
more-than-half majority needed to
elect me. Consequently, as Pres.
Pro Tenn, I appointed 8 members
from the minority side and two

Boys State AS Seen by
Charles Ruch

After registering Friday morn
ing we assembled in the House
Lounge and selected the Speaker
of the House, the minority leader
and the majority leader. We then
went into the House and met our
fellow representatives. The atmos-
phere was very informal until
12:15 when proceedings started.
After the formalities, one of the
representatives moved that we ad-
journ until after lunch. The Boys
State representatives went to the
Legion Post for lunch. At 2:30 the
house was turned over to the boy
representatives for half an hour.
In this half hour we argued on a
bill on whether the voting age
should be lowered to 1S. Two boys
argued on this point for Is min
utes and when the vote was finally
taken it was 81 to IL in favor of
passing it.. However, this was not
the two-thirds vote necessary to
change the Constitution and the
bill was not passed. At 800 the
House was turned over to the reg
ular representatives. An informal
atmosphere was prevalent during
the passing of all the bills. AS a
whole / enjoyed seeing how bills
concerning our states welfare are
handled.

cake Bay:
BY Stanley Baitz

Oy 0v0AASy ~ASN
SOLOMONS ISLAND, MD.
0NE OF the richest basins
~ in the world Is the
Chesapeake Bay. For sheer
wealth per acre 1t has 1t all
over mines of precious metals
because 1t has the advantage
that, properly worked, its
veins won't peter out.
Its wealth lies not in ores
but In the things that live
beneath the surface of the
water, things like fish, oysters
and crabs-things to eat and
give sustenance.
This theme Of abundance
and conservation is a con-
slant battle cry at the Chesa-
peake Biological Laboratory,
where, for almost Is years,
scientists have been trying to
learn all about what goes on
in the waters of the Bay and
tributaries In order to make
them even more productive.
The laboratory is presided
over by It's founder. DIR. r. v.
Truitt. who for years has been
saying that the Chesapeake
Is one of the richest bodies
of water in the world, but
that the people who make a
living from 1t ought to be
kinder to 1t.
Lest you have any doubts
about the potentialities of the
Bay as a producer of food,
DR.. Truitt puts 1t this way:
-Four acres Of ordinary
oyster ground can produce
more than 1000 bushels Of
oysters In three years.
Shucked, that comes out TO
about $4,000 pounds Of fine
food. A like acreage Of first-
rate farm land sowed to for
age crops will, on an average,
produce in the same time only
one steer, which will dress
down, bone included, to 600
pounds. There you have it
$4,000 pounds Of underwater
grown food as against 600
pounds of land-grown food.
And that's only oysters!"
How to keep the underwater
herds" healthy and reason
ably intact Is the business OF
the men and women who
work in the laboratory here.
In the various cubicles
throughout the squat red
brick building fronted by a
long wooden pier, which Is
itself a laboratory. they pore
over microscopes and WELD
dissecting knives on speci-
mems of animal and plant HE
brought from the Bay and Its
tributaries. There are experts
on almost every type OF Bay
underwater life.
For instance, DR.. L. E.
Cronin, the top crab expert, Is
currently engaged in tagging
crabs to trace their migratory
habits. His research Is COM
plicated by the fact that
crabs shed their shells as
