Better Pay
Your Dog Tax!

The Board of County Commits
sioners, at their regular meeting
on Tuesday, announced that inn
mediate steps will be taken to
enforce payment of the County
Dog Tax.
In making the announcement,
Winslow F. Burhans, president of
the Board, stated that the Dog
Tax Fund, out of which farmers
are paid for damage by dogs to
their sheep and cattle, and the
SP.C.A. is also paid, is down to
less than fifty dollars. AS a re-
suit of this, the Board has been
unable to pay claims for damages,
and has also been unable to pay
the S.P.C.A. for December 1850,
as well as January and February
1851, the latter payments amount
ing to 5000.
Dog taxes can be paid at the
Commissioners office in the court
house, or to any county con-
stable, and those of you who have
not paid the tax had better do it
right away, unless you want ac-
ton brought against you, which
will cost you, not only the price
of the tax-which is 81 for male
dogs and So for female dogs-but
also a fine, which, under the law,
ranges from a minimum of S. to a
maximum Of $25, and/or 30 days
in jail.

Truck Law Arouses
Merchants s. Farmers
Strong Opposition To Proposed
Law Reported From All Parts
= OF State.

From all parts of the state, there
are reports of the strong opposition
to the proposed truck weight law
now under consideration by the
State Legislature.
Merchants and farmers, as well as
truck operators, see the proposed re-
duced weights as step backward
and one that will severely penalize
all trucks serving rural areas.
This week Charles T. Dean, presi-
dent of the Caroline County Farm
Bureau, pointed out:
There has been motor truck leg
islation before which has had harm
full effects upon farm groups, but
this is the first time that a bill has
been proposed which has had such
far reaching effect on trucks work
ing for farmers.
''The effect of this law would be
so drastic that the average truck
serving farmers would have its pres
ent carrying capacity reduced as
much as 800. This law would make
it necessary to use more trucks tC
move perishable foods and other pro-
ducts, resulting in higher costs.
Such an important matter tc
farmers and all others using trucks
should have further study. In this
national emergency, we all need tor
efficiency in transportation.
A number of groups, including
farm organizations and individuals
will be in attendance when hearings
on the bill take place at Annapolis
shortly. They expect to make E
strong case in opposing the pending
legislation.

tends an invitation to everyone who
can possibly do so to see it.
The picture, "Golgotha-The Life
of Christ" is a truly extraordinary
production, with a cast of thousands
and tells, with reverence, power and
beauty, the inspiring story of the
last days on earth of Jesus of Naz-
areth. It shows His triumphaI entry
into Jerusalem; the driving of the
merchants from the Temple; the
fears and plots of the Sanhedrin;
the betrayal by Judas; the Last Sup
per; His final hours in the Garden of
Gethsemane; the trials before the
high priests and before PLATE and
Herod; the Scourging by the Roman
soldiers; the march to Calvary, and
the Crucifxion, and then His last
messages to His disciples after the
Resurrection.
The picture follows faithfully the
Bible narrative and the mighty
events are portrayed fittingly and
powerfully.

KiWanians Hear
Red Cross Official
Dewitt c. Smith, Vice-Presi-
dent Of American Red Cross,
Talks On Detectives OF Organi-
cation.

Members of the Kiwanis Club, at
their luncheon meeting at the Hotel
Alexander on Thursday, were given
top-fight report on the detectives
of the Red Cross. The speaker was
Dewitt c. Smith, of Washington, D.
c., vice-president of the American
Red Cross.
Mr.. Smith is native of Wash
ington County, being born near
Cavetown. His mother, Mrs. Carrie
T, Smith, now lives in Bethesda
The program was arranged by
the Boys and Girls Work commit
tee, of which Brestle A Rupert is
chairman. President Walter M.
Daniel presided, and ]. M Bryant,
of Baltimore, was a visitor
The work of the American Red
Cross on the national level said Mr.
Smith can be divided in to five cat
egories-The Armed Forces, veter-
ans, and the families Of both groups;
disaster service; civilian educational
help and safety service, such as first
aid; the national blood program; and
civilian defense.
The American Red Cross, which
came into being through an act of
Congress, was patterned somewhat
after the international Red Cross
Treaty, the main objective of which
was to aid soldiers in time of war,
! the speaker told his audience; but
as the years passed its aims and OBJ
jectiveS were broadened. For in
stance, in the early seventies, main
ly through the efforts of Clara Bar
ton. The Red Cross undertook the
/ job of handling relief for territories
! stricken by national disasters, a job
which, in recent years has neces-
STATED the spending of as much as
twenty million dollars in one year.
The speaker pointed out. however,
that the average national disaster
cost to the Red Cross is about four
and-a-half to five million dollars a
year.
Touching on the blood bank pro-
gram, Mr.. Smith stated that when
the Red Cross first got interested in
this tremendously important pro-
ject, the experts said that it could
not possibly be successfully handled
on voluntary basis plan. But the
Red Cross tackled the job anyway
and has handled the almost unbe-
lieveable total of from twelve to
fifteen million units of blood for the
Armed Forces and for hospitals.
In his final remarks, Mr.. Smith
spoke briefly of the financial side
of the Red Cross, explaining how
the budget is set up each year and
how it operates a revolving fund
that enables it to set funds aside
for unexpected expenses that some
time come with alarming sudden
ness and call for the immediate ex-
penditures of large sums.
Following his talk, the speaker
answered few questions from the
floor, all of which conferred around
the possibility of the Red Cross COM
bining its drives for funds with
those of local Community Chests
Mr.. Smith said that the question has
been, as still is, being considered
though he would not venture ar
opinion on what the eventual deci-
sion will be.

Aside to Mayor Mills:

Aside to Mayor Mills:
l get into enough trouble over the
things do write, Mr.. Mayor, without
being blamed for something l didn't.
Although the Red Cross Drive,
which is scheduled to end tomorrow,
was well over the halfway mark yes
terday, the workers will need every
contribution they can get if the drive
is to go over the top
So, if you haven't already given,
be ready with a liberal contribution
when a volunteer worker knocks on
your door today or tomorrow.
Mayor H. L. Mills announced
shortly after noon on Monday, that
the resolution made by Councilman
Luther Broom, seconded by Council
man Mel Jennings, and unanimously
carried at the regular meeting of the

bleachers could not be used to re
place the section of the bleachers at

their full page advertisement in the
Morning Herald and Daily Mail on
Monday, in support of the current

What made the advertisement so
appealing to me - apart from the
worthy cause which prompted it -
was the publishing of the names of
all those unsung heroes and heroines,
without whose hard work none of
our Embarrassing drives would ever
go over the top the volunteer,
rank and file workers.
My congratulations also, to Arley
Sica, retiring president of the Cham

during the past year fully measures
up to that of his many predecessors.
