What strikes me most forcibly is the
tribes reluctance to put up the stuff the

But oily tongues don't grease the machines

Yeah, folks, the tribe-too many of
them-peddles destructive criticism by the

Safety Group Seeks
More Police, Lights
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Sept. 25.-The
Maryland Traffic Safety Com
mission has called for more
State Police on the highways and
a lighting test of the Baltimore
Washington boulevard.
At a luncheon meeting at
Woodholme Country Club yes
terday, the group announced a
resolution calling for formation
of a committee to call on the
Legislative Council and ask that
body's support for more State
police.
The need for more State po-
lice was termed "one of the very
first steps in curtailing the loss
of life and the unnecessary in
juries of thousands of our citi-
zens on Maryland's streets and
highways"
Another resolution called upon
the State Roads Commission to
make a thorough and detailed
test for the need of lighting the
Washington boulevard"
The group suggested that
stretch of the highway be
equipped with lights and OBJ
served as an experiment.
1T is the belief of the Traffic
Safety Commission that illumi-
nation of parts of this boulevard
will curtail unnecessary deaths
and injuries on what is con-
sidered throughout the Nation as
the most dangerous stretch Of
highway in America" said Paul
E. Burke, executive director of
the commission.
Mr.. Burke also called for a
meeting to be known as Gov
ernor's, mayors and county COM
miSsioners' conference to con-
slider uniform pedestrian traffic
laws for the State.
Henry Barnes, Baltimore City's
traffic expert would be asked to
serve as chairman, Mr.. Burke
said.

Virginia Counties Ask
Revised Formula for
Road Fund ALLEGATION
BY the A.soeietsd Press

RICHMOND, Sept. 25.-The
League Of Virginia Counties yes
terday released a study calling
for general overhauling of the
States formula for allocating
secondary road funds.
Since 1910, the State Highway
Commission has used g. formula
which utilizes four factors
areas. population, secondary road
mileage within the county, and
the average vehicle miles.
Under the recommendations
contained in the study made by
the league, the area factor
would be changed to include only
the actual area within the
county. The present plan does
not take into consideration those
areas under water or the fact
that some areas are mountainous
and others are flat.
One Phase Retained.
The secondary mileage would
be retained. but the county's
primary mileage would be de-
Quoted from the secondary mile
age. Some counties, the study
said, now have secondary sys-
TENS larger than they should
be as compared with other coun-
ties. Also, the present rule, the
league held, might encourage
counties to keep open secondary
roads that are no longer needed.
Both the population factor
and the average vehicle-mile
factor would be discarded and a
factor of motor vehicle registra-
ton would be submitted for the
two.
Equalization Fund.
An equalization fund would
then be established, out of which
improvements to a county's Sec
ondary system would be made on
a mileage basis.
The League also recommended
that studies be made at an early
date to determine in miles of
highways to be built and main
tained instead of in terms of
dollars and cents, and that a
policy decision be made that will
determine just what standard
of highway service funds avail
able for secondary highways will
be used to purchase.

vice. His inspiring message asked
the question, what Does Your
Church Mean To You?". His SER
mon was intensely interesting and
very appropriate for the age we
live in. In it he scorned Commun-
ism, yet pointed out its advances
throughout the world. And his
conclusion laid before the congre-
cation the fact that the church is
the one true way of stopping Com
munism. The duet by Mrs. lena
Unruh and Mr.. Warren Myers was
most enjoyable. The afternoon SER
vice was made especially interest
ing by the return of an old friend,
Rev. A. Jason Blundon, former
pastor of Friendship. He spoke on
the subject Servant Or Son.. His
sermon was, as usual, straightfor-
ward, sincere, and thought provok-
ing. Another of the bright spots
of the day presented Mr.. and Mrs.
Aubrey Deakyne Of Wilmington in
a duet, accompanied by their
daughter. The choir received
many compliments on sheir fine
rendition of 'sThe Awakening
Chorus" and MY Redeemer"
Lunch was served between the SER
vices and each person attending
received picturezof the church.
1t was regrettable that the regular
pastor, Rev. Donald Dewey, after
working diligently to present an
outstanding program, was unable
to attend due to sudden Illness.
