There were some sharp clashes over Government economy also over Truman's piece-meal tax program-a plan by which Con- gress would approve $1o billion of new taxes now. Then another S61z billion later.
 q realize that the more we ec- onomize the less we will have tc tax" Truman announced. HOW ever. I have scrutinized the budge' with great care and find that we just can't cut expenditures any more without sacrificing efficiency We have already cut to the bone but I am open to suggestions.

Tag Problems
Outlined for
State Motorists

Thomas B. R. Mudd, Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles, advises
that each year during our tag rush
the Department receives thousands
of requests for applications for Ii
cense plates, which were not re-
ceived by vehicle owners because of
incorrect address.
Under Section 81 of the Motor
Vehicle Laws of Maryland, every
registered owner must notify the
Department within thirty days
when an address is changed. The
Department is now revising it's
files prior to preparing applica-
tions for new 1952-1953 license
plates and all persons who have
moved during the past year and
failed to notify the Department of
their new addresses are requested
to do so Immediately.
A Post Card giving your name,
old and new address, license plate
number, title number, if possible, is
sufficient information to enable the
Department to make the change.
Last year about 10000 applica-
tions were returned due to incor-
rect address. In order that motor
lists may receive their applications
without difficulty and to avoid de-
lay in securing their license plates,
they should notify the Department
Immediately if they have moved or
the address on the registration
card is not correct.

had partaken of the same attitude
and faith that brought them to
pass. He called for a continuing
stream of devotion to the convic-
tions ofthe individual conscience
in its personal relationship to
God. He stated that countries
that have practiced that religion,
are the ones that are most sue
cessfullv resisting communism to-
day, and are the hope of our world
REGARDLESS of how efficient insti-
tutionalized religion appears.
Next Sunday will be Armistice
Day, and the pastor will speak on
the subject "Christ or Barabbas-
Peace or an Armistice." Pastor
Warner observed the original Ar
mistice Dav in a shell hole, on the
Western Front in World War l.

the hope common to all combat
