Talbot Group Opens
Study Of Refinery's
Effect on County
speeioI pispu,eh to Tn. s,or


EASTON, Md, Aug. 22.-The
group consisting largely of lead
ing farmers. has instituted q
study to determine how con-
struction of proposed multi
million dollar oil refinery would
affect this Eastern Shore County.
Headed by Graham D. Price.
farmer of the Trappe area and
chairman of the County Pro-
duction and Marketing Admin
stration Committee. the group will
investigate water tables, employ
ment and other aspects of the
proposed heavy industry
At a meeting here yesterday,
the group said facts are needed
before a site in Bay Hundred
district, upon which the Pan
American Refining Co. holds
options, should be rezoned for
heavy industrial use.
Considering Another Site.
The oil company has options
on about 100 acres and has
requested that the land be re-
zoned to allow the construction
of a refinery. The company
also is considering a site in Anne
Arundel County in the Nabbs
Creek area south of Baltimore.
The group said information is
needed on the water table in the
refinery area-to determine what
would be the result to agriculture
if large quantities of water are
taken from wells in the refinery
area.
They also said comparisons
should be made between the de-
and of small, diversified indus
tries, which, they said. are COM
paratively depression proof.
The group said an impartial
water survey will be made by
engineers.
Work Figures Refused.
Meanwhile, Pan-American de-
velopment of heavy industries
clined to provide information on
the number and type of persons
that might be employed by the
proposed refinery as had been
requested by the County Plan
ming and Zoning Commission.
The company said it was i'm
possible to give wage rates and
offer figures on a project that
would take shape two years
hence.
Zoning officials said it will be
impossible to make a recon-
mendation on rezoning the prop
erty until additional facts are
known.
The company options on the
Talbot property expire early next
month. It has been stated, how
ever, that the options will be re-
newed until the zoning decision
is made.

Not for Sole
Lesson for February 8. 1858

IF THE modern reader of the par
1 able of the laborers in the Vine
yard is puzzled, he at least has
the comfort of knowing that great
Bible scholars have been puzzled
too, He also has the discomfort
of knowing that no Interpretation
he can put upon il will have unani-
nous agreement To be sure, there
are some things 1t does not mean.
This parable does not give a mod
el for labor and management.
Jesus was not talking about wages
literally. He was saying some
thing about God, and his dealings
with man. Furthermore, this par
able does not mean that God .
only reason for doing things is be-
cause that he is one whose acts
have neither rhyme nor reason.
But what does this parable mean7
Among the various plausible inter-
pretations that have been given 10
by Christian thinkers. let us pick
out one of the most important
truths that this peculiar story sug-
gests.

Earning God's Grace

Still, the race Of man includes
many fools. And some of these
have tried to do the impossible,
to earn the infinite grace of God
One way they have tried is to buy
it. A lifelong rascals conscience
will finally begin to hurt him, and
so to get God on his side he will
build cathedral or endow an
orphanage or pour money into
some church treasury, hoping that
God will overlook the villainous
ways in which he earned the
money because of the pious way
in which he spends it, Other men
ia little more on the religious"
side) seem TO think they can
sweet-talk God into being their
friend. They would not put it that
way; they would say that God will
listen to their many prayers, Do
they not regularly attend prayer
meetings, or early communions,
and should not God be expected to
do something for them in return?
Others. again, hope that God
can be made to feel so sorry for
them that he will pour out on them
his special grace. If they do not
have natural troubles they will
make artificial troubles for them.
selves. They will go without proper
food and clothing, they will wear
hair shirts or iron chains around
their waists. they will roll on beds
of spikes or 60 without baths for
years and years. But Gods grace
does not 60 to the highest bidders;
it does not 60 to the most long
winded prayers, II is not offered
as a reward for self-inficted
wounds Gods grace must be taken
as eif. or not at all.
Grace and Gratitude
Then does il make no difference
what we dot win God be just as
good to us, no matter what? Shall
we even do evil that grace may
abound" that is, shall we make
Gods grace even more gracious
by being as bad as we can be-
Not by any means. The truly good
life is not a way Of earning the
grace Of God; it is a way Of re-
spending to the grace Of God
Some one has said that religion
is gratitude. Religion is our re-

New Butter Imports

with 140 million pounds Of butter
in its refrigerators. may be buy
ing 741.000 pounds more from
foreign producers in the coming
year.
This was conceded by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Benson yes
terday.
Imports of butter are now
banned under a section of the
Defense Production Act. But
that act expires June 80. Then
the control would come under a
section Of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act.
That act provides for i'm
portant quotas or import fees
when importation Of a COM
modify tends to interfere with
the price support program.
Restrictions Limited.
Questioning by Representative
Byrnes, Republican, of Wis
consin, brought out that the i'm
ports may not be restricted be-
yond so per cent of the amount
brought in during a representa-
tive period.
Mr.. Byrnes said this would
permit the import of 741,O00
pounds of foreign butter and
2,766, 900 pounds Of foreign ched-
dar cheese. Mr.. Benson agreed
this was true, but he said the
butter would be just a small
fraction of the amount the de-
partment has been struggling
with.
The Secretary said the restric-
tions under the Defense Produc-
ton Act-Section 104-has been
a source Of friction in interna-
tional relations. He said he felt
strongly that Congress intended
the agricultural act section
should be used.
Suggests Amendment.
That section, however, calls
for an investigation by the Tar
iff Commission first. Mr.. Ben
son suggested the law might be
amended to permit temporary
emergency action promptly by
himself or the President.
He said the Tariff Commission
Monday began hearings on the
problems of the import of COM
modities under price support.
Mr.. Benson. as did other cabi-
net members, asked the commit
tee to extend the Reciprocal
Trade Act without the restrictive
provisions of the pending bill
introduced by Representative
Simpson, Republican. of Penn
sylvania.
He told the committee the
Simpson Bill would not neces-
sarily be harmful to agriculture.
But he stressed the advisability
of withholding specific legisla-
ton until there Is an examina-
ton Of the whole foreign eco
nomic policy by a commission
