institution of this County-The Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad-that, in
spite of actually almost missing our
County geographically, influenced to
a great extent the advance of in
dustry and the distribution of pop
ulation, there was another man of a
past generation, one who had taken
active part in the very early steps
of this Nation. This was Charles
Carroll of Carrollton. 1t will be re-
membered that this gentleman per-
formed the opening act for the con-
struction of that railroad at pre-
cisely the same moment that Pres
ident John Quincy Adams dug the
first spadeful of earth to start the
railroads rival, the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, and at not so great a
distance 1t probably is not too
well known that this Charles Car
roll was, at the time, the only sur
viving signer of the great Declaration
of Independence At the time of the
placing of the first stone of the road
bed of the railroad by Mr.. Carroll,
the American Independence was
more than fifty years old. In help
ing with the beginning of the con-
struction of such projects as the rail-
road, it is certain that Mr.. Carroll
was realizing what must have been
many years earlier fond dream,
as in the case of Washington with
his canal project. 1t will be remem-
bered that this railroad was given
great impetus in its start by the fact
that the canal was threatening to
divert the greatly expanding trade
with the West from Baltimore to
Washington, and by much of this
trade being turned off the Baltimore
route at Williamsport and headed fol
Philadelphia.
In going over these things of oul
past and seeing all that went into
the making of the cities and towns
and the industrial establishments Of
our County, often wonder if what

is taking place today will have as
great influence on the lives of Wash
ington Countians of 1897. And as
the horse and the buggy typify the
past to us, just what of our COM
mon day experiences will be
typically "the past in future gen
erations.
Let's hope that the feeling of re-
spect and admiration for the great
things of our past, such as the Dec
claration of Independence, the Con-
stitution and Freedom, will never
be forgotten when future generations
talk of things that happened in their
"past."

FAMILY COW = 1850 STYLE

Everyone occasionally looks Backward
nostalgically to the days when life was
simple and most wants were satisfied by
strictly local effOrt-hunting, trading and
farming. Some even try to turn the clock
back by crusading against "bigness" in mod
ern industry. Eventually they Will realize
that their efforts are both futile and unwise.
There are 150,00O,0OO people in the United
States tOday-in 1910 there were 10000 OO0
By 1875 government predictions place the
population at staggering 225, 100000 souls.
Along with the increase in population there
has been a movement away from the land.
In the early 1905 nine of every ten persons
were farm workers; today, the ratio of rural
to urban jewellers is 18 in ten.
1t is idle to talk of the good old days. If
it were not for efficient large-scale industry
this country would be fiat on its back. No
where is that fact more evident than in the
utter dependence of consumers upon modern
mass distribution. Recently the chain store
industry commenOrated a quarter century
of progress in mass merchandising by both
chains and producers quarter century
which has placed more goods in the hands
Of more persons than any comparable per-
iod in our history. 1t is because of this
system of merchandising that people in the
remOtest communities have available the
same goods and high merchandising stand
ards to be found in the largest cities. 1t is
also because of this system that consumers
are assured of the lowest possible prices.
Competition and the necessity for high sales
volume see to that. The America of the
1950's is far cry from the America of the
1905. Mass production and distribution are
as essential to our time as was the family
cow of hundred years ago..

THE COST AND THE CLOTH

The OpiOn Research Corporation recent
ly conducted a survey on taxes. And here
are some of the results. Sc per cent of the
people interviewed felt that spending should
be cut before taxes were raised. "a per cent
agreed that high taxes discourage investors
from rlsking their money and companies
from expanding. 20 per cent believed that
general government expenses should be re-
duced. 89 per cent were surprised and shock
ed to learn that hidden taxes on a Is cent
loaf OF bread total five cents, and that taxes
on $4,000 car amount to about $500. There
is nothing academic about the tax issue to-
day. Higher Federal income taxes went into
effect on October /. It is widely forecast
that this-in the light of soaring military
budgets-is only the beginning and that high
er taxes still will be imposed on both indi-
viduals and corporations. Yet, in the face
of that, the pressure for unnecessary domes-
tic spending is undated. Those who want
sOcialized business, British-type social Sc
Curity, sOcialized medicine, and all the other
alien projects, are still in the running. At
BEST the burden of rehabilitation will be
enormous and debilitating If, on top of this
unbridled domestic spending continues, the
result could be ruinOus. 1t could lead to I'M
comfortable initiation and an impossible
drain on the manpOwer and industrial ca
pacities of the nation. In the name of sur
Vival, the government must be forced to cut
its cost to fit it's CLOTH

these increases were necessary steps in the process
OF our coming of age nation. This is not true.
TIME TO BE ALERT
Now the bureaucrats are asking for more billions
of dollars and already are framing laws which will
make it possible for Uncle Sam to help himself to
much larger share of your income and mine In
these days of inflated Values it costs a great deal
to carry on military campaign even in an area as
limited as Korea. Thus, 1 suppose we must be
resigned to this demand for more taxes Let us
not, however be so carried away by the tension of
the times that we surrender any more of our hard
won liberties and rights to the bureaucrats Let us
make our Congressman responsible to us in fact
they are in theory.
Indifference was chiefly responsible for our get
ting into the jam in which we now find ourselves as
far as taxes are concerned. We were too ready to
agree to the imposition of additional tax burdens in
years past because we were highpressured or cajc-
ed into thinking there was no other course open
to us. Businessmen, who knew better contented
themselves with merely denOuncing our tax policies,
and their protests were largely ignored. hope we
will all be more realistic about taxes in the future
and that will make our voices heard and our
wills felt in the coming elections If we fail to do
this, shall certainly lose than our dollars
in the critical times ahead
NO MONEY FOR UNNECESSARY THINGS
do not approve of handing over much of the
countrys cash to support certain groups or classes
of the people at the expense of all the people, That
is undemOcratic 1t is also financially dangerous,
especially when we need all our money for prOduc-
tive things. 1 am not against moderate farm sup
ports for basic farm products, but am opposed to
the indiscriminate use of tax dollars which tends
to make dairy or potato farmers favored class
fOolhardy farm support program might not
break the country financially, in the years ahead,
but eventually it could lead to the ensavement of the
farmers themselves. New and higher taxes we shall
probably have. They need not be much higher if
each of will take the time impress upon those
who up for election the acute need for
drastic cuts in nOn.essential federal spending.

impetus by the Korean War. The
greatest gains in output again oc-
Cured in plants making durable
goods. Iron and steel plants, which
had been running near top capac-
ity for months, managed to increase
production, and cement mills are
running their machinery ragged to
meet demands. In the nondurable
field, the apparel and textiles mills
were scenes of greater activity. To
raise production, manufactures in
both major groups hired addition
al workers and heightened the

1t was quite clear in August that
business in the Third Federal Re-
serve District was still on the up
and up, feeling the impact Of rear
mament and the Korean War. With
summer vacations ended factory
working forces were enlarged and
production was stepped up. Depar-
ment store sales tapered off from
the "scare buying peak reached in
July but continued buoyant. Build
ing contractors, anticipating high
er costs, shortages of materials,
notably cement, and perhaps COVER
nment controls, rushed to complete
construction started or planned for
the near future. In response to
rising business requirements, the
output of both anthracite and btu
minous coal was increased as was

of the second world war.
DR.. Colburn is a 46-year-old ma
tive Of Madison, Wis, and received
his bachelors degree in 1926, his
masters degree in 1927, and his
doctorate two years later, all from
the University of Wisconsin. Mean
while, he held fellOwships during
his graduate studies.
During World War II, he was
instrumental in the use of the
Chemical Engineering laboratories
at the University of Delaware on
war research problems, for the Ma
tional Defense Research Commit
tee, the National Advisory Commit
tee for AerOnautics, Office of R1b-
Der Reserve, and for various war
industries, of which the most ex-
tensive work was on aircraft en-
gines for Pratt and Whitney Air
craft. He further assisted in the
direction of war research else
where.
With DR.. B. F. Dodge of Yale, he
prepared the curriculum on chem
ical engineering for the Army,
which was taught in the A. S. T.
Program throughout the war.
In 194S, he was honored by the
presentation of the Professional
Progress Award in Chemical Engi-
neering. He was the first recipient
of the award, which is the first
major, general award in the entire
field of chemical engineering.
Twelve years earlier the American
Institute of Chemical Engineers
presented the Walker Award, for
publications in that field.
Active in professional societies,
