in her praise of the Mississippi
Supreme court which, she said, Sc

Mrs. Cain favors a referendum
on the liquor question, on a local
option basis. Public sentiment,
she said, lis the only thing that
can enforce liquor laws. l believe
the people are entitled to be heard
in this matter and referendum
is the fair, American way to deter

are inadequate and if the people
want prohibition, they should vote
to strengthen the present laws"

government Thomas Jefferson was
talking about when he said, What
more is necessary to make us a
happy and prosperous people?
Still one thing more, fellow citi-
zens, wise and frugal govern

from. injuring one another, shall
leave them otherwise free to re-

dustry and improvement, and
shall not take from the mouth of

is the sum of good government;
and this is necessary to close the
circle of our felicities.' / want

could pick a calf whose dam had
produced less than 400 pounds of
butterfat a year. For $3.50 they
could get one with a record of 400
pounds of butterfat in its family
tree or, if the dam was only two
years old, 1926 pounds.

Legal Fight Threatens
Start Of 81 Million
School at Salisbury

SALISBURY, Md, Dec. ga
legal roadblock threatens to delay
the start of a new 81 million high
school for Salisbury.
Two taxpayers have served no
tice they will take their suit
against the campus type" build
ing to the Court of Appeals.
Henry H. Hanna. jr., a General
Assembly delegate from Wicomico
County, and Milford Twilley. a
building materials manufacturer
contend the County Board of Edu-
cation acted Illegally in awarding
the contract for the building to
William F. Sutter CO.
Price Exceeded Funds.
The legal challenge came about
this way:
After the Board of Education
asked for bids on the project and
found Sutter was the low bidder
the price still was more than the
county had for the project.
The Board of Education decided
it would have to eliminate the IL
brary from the plans for the
school, which would really be sew
eral connected buildings.
The board negotiated with SUIT
ter on the price of building the
school without the library, got a
figure within its means. and
awarded the contract.
Charge Illegal Procedure.
Mr.. Hanna and Mr.. Twilley
brought an injunction suit charg-
ing this procedure was illegal.
J. Roland Dashiell, Salisbury
contractor who was second low
bidder on the original project
testified at the hearing he woulo
have built the school without the
library for $25, 900 less than the
figure agreed upon by the schoo
board and Sutter.
The Wicomico County Circuit
Court decided the School Boarc
had entered into the contract with
Sutter legally. 1t is this decision
that is being appealed to An

No Exceptions
States KneSSet

JERUSALEM, (JTA)-Premier
David Ben Gurion's controversial
amendment to the military serv-
ice law which would require wom-
en- claiming exemption from mill
tary service on religious grounds
to service in agricultural settle
mentS or other public services,
won its first reading in the Knes-
set and was referred to commit
tee over the opposition of the
Religious bloc, General Zionist
and the Herut.
Rabbi I. M. Levin, Agudath Is
rael leader and Cabinet member,
told tense Knesset that he would
be "the first to go to prison for
disobeying" the bill were it to be
adopted. He said the security
situation did not warrant the
measure.
All Israeli women between 18
and % are liable to two years of
service in the armed forces and
are required to take a one-month
refresher course every year after
their training is completed. Under
the Premier's amendment, wom-
en- claiming exemption on reli-
gious grounds would be required
to serve two years in agricultural
settlements, social welfare agen-

Some 100000 persons will be
