Civic Club Speaker
DIR. Byrd Discusses lnternatiOn-
al Relations at Tuesday
Luncheon

international Relations" was the
subject of an address before a lunch
con meeting of the Oakland Civic
club Tuesday by DR.. H. c. Byrd,
president of the University Of Mary
land.
DR.. Byrd opened his remarks by
stating that leach individual must
first learn to formulate his own
opinions through various organs of
information combined with his own
observations and a study of history
itself"
For an example he pointed out that
many Americans believed that the T..
S. went into Greece to aid the
Greeks, but in Dr. Byrd's opinion it
was actually to protect our and our
allies interests, and by so doing he
felt we had accepted responsibility
for the continued defense of the near
East"
Dr.. Byrd declared that much Of the
ECA materials and funds had been
wasted because 1--WE cannot continue
to underwrite such projects as estab-
fishing economic independence in the
Danube Basin since centuries of past
efforts have proved such an endeavor
economically impossible.
eff we finance the world" DR.. Byrd
continued, eve should get value re-
ceived for our money" He pointed
out that by building up competition
for our own industries our govern
ment is forced to subsidize these in
dustries to prevent their being under
sold by foreign materials.
DR.. Byrd was of the opinion that
nothing was settled by war. only
understanding conquers different
viewpoints and detectives. We must
understand the basic principle Of
progressive international relation
ships in order not to deprive our
future generations of their nation
resources, both natural and in man
power"
Peace can come only through ac-
ccptance and operation of the princi-
Piles of the teachings of Christ and by
selling these principles to the people
of other nations" Dr.. Byrd concluded

Census Enumerators
To Ask SO Questions
Twenty-Five Persons To Begin
Work Saturday, April LIST

Garrett county residents will be
asked an average of so questions
each by the 1850 census takers and
they are required to answer or face
the possibility of Federal prosecution.
But John Stevenson and Lindsay
Gender, the two crew leaders for the
county, coupled this announcement
with the assurance that all the
answers will be confidential.
In the space of 10 or 20 minutes
per family the enumerators will ask
the name, age, marital status and
type of job of each person and one
person in five over IA years of age
will be asked about his income. The
census will cover population, housing
and agriculture.
There has been much publicity over
some questions to be asked by the
census enumerators, particularly the
one on income, and some citizens have
been open in their threat not to
answer. The crew leaders declared
that income questions may be
answered on individual forms and
mailed directly to Washington if the
person being interviewed so desires.
An enumerator who cannot per-
suade resident to answer a question
refers the case to his crew chief and
then to the district supervisors. As
a final resort the persons name is
sent to Washington for action by the
Justice department. The census law
provides maximum penalty of $500
fine and year in jail for classifying
answers and penalty of $500 fine
and sixty days in Jail for refusing to
answer.
The public has protection against
enumerators revealing census in
formation. The law provides for a
maximum fine of $1,000 and two
years in jail for violating condolences
by a census taker.
Each enumerator will be provided
with an identification card and the
crew leaders urged individuals to
please ask to see it before allowing
anyone to enter their homes.
Census enumerators for this county
were named this week by the crew
leaders. For the southern half of the
county there will be Harry B. Buck
ley, Eliza 0. Biser, Nala c. Ridder,
Emma Loretta Dewitt, Elizabeth j..
Stewart, John H. Williams.
