Governor Mex eldin


Governor McKeldin, charged at
the rally in Southern High school
Monday night that II. c. Byrd
would wreck efforts of chambers
of commerce to bring new industry
to Western Maryland.
Part Of his speech had been pre-
pared for radio delivery in Cum
berland, but this arrangement was
cancelled when it was found he
could not get to Cumberland in
time. He said Byrd's proposal to
establish in the government a state
economic and industrial develop
ment commission would merely be
used ITO centralize more power in
his own selfish hands" as he fused
the autonomy he obtained for the
University of Maryland"
He again raped the former uni
versity president for what he called
his failure to construct a new IL
brary at the University and pointed
out that he should know that good
library "is as important to the
agricultural student and the in
dustrial engineering student as it
is to the student of liberal arts"
He said with a new president
at the university CDR. Wilson II.
Elkins) with a new sound sense of
values, we are putting S2,2O0,0O0
for a new university library in next
years budget" He mentioned the
appropriation in his first year as
governor for construction of a Ii
brary at Frostburg and for other
funds provided for the college and
Miners hospital the past few years.
Governor McKeldin through the
day and also at the dinner, spoke
of coal in connection with Mr..
Byrd and told of the University
president buying coal for the uni
versity outside of Maryland. But
the State government of Maryland
buys its coal from Maryland
mines" the governor assured Gar
rett county's coal-conscious per-
sons.
Gov. McKeldin prefaced his pre-
pared radio address which he read
hurriedly to the group, by an ac-
counting of what had been accom-
plished during the four years of
his administration He spoke of
raising the sales tax exemption
), from Is cents to so cents, thereby
saving SO million dollars for the
taxpayers, and explained his budg-
ct procedure throughout his four
years which put every expenditure
in its proper place.
He also talked of improvements
in the state government through
reorganization, and touched on the
12-year road plan and the plans for
the Baltimore harbor tunnel. He
said he liked also to remember the
little things that had been done in
his administration, for the people
of the entire state, such as picnic
areas along state highways, a
school library for the deaf, a gym
nasium at the Maryland Training
School for Boys, and other like
things.
Governor McKeldin was intro
duced by Senator Neil Fraley who
read a portion of the Baltimore
Sun editorial which backed the
governor for reelection.
In his closing remarks the gov
ernor raped Byrd for having
taken no stand on the municipal
home rule proposal. He said he
strongly favored its adoption and
urged that the citizens vote yes
on the proposal He said he also
favored county home rule and
would work for such a measure if
he is reelected to serve the people
another four years.

Citizens OF Garrett county VIII
go to their twenty-seven polling
places next Tuesday to cast their
ballots for national, state and
county offices. They will also de-
eide whether or not there shall be
nine amendments added to the
state constitution. In this county
$3.50 persons are eligible to vote.
Only one national contest is
scheduled, that of Congressman
from the sixth Congressional dis
trict where the present congress-
man, Dewitt S. Hyde is seeking re
election on the Republican ticket.
He is opposed by Edward J. Ryan.
He is opposed by Edward j. Ryan,
Democrat.
For state offices, voters will de-
eide whether to return Theodore
McKeldin to the state house at An
napolis for another four years, or
whether he will be replaced by H
c. Byrd, former president Of the
University of Maryland. They will
also decide between Edward d. f.
Rollins, present attorney general,
Republican, and c. Ferdinand Sy-
bert, Democrat. j. Willard Tawes,
comptroller of the treasury, a
Democrat, is unopposed.
Citizens will also cast votes for
State Senator, three members of
the House of Delegates, clerk of
the Circuit Court, States Attorney,
three County Commissioners, Coun-
ty Treasurer, Register Of Wills,
Sheriff, and three judges Of the
Orphans Court.
The polls will be open from Z
a. m. until 7 p. m, at the twenty
seven places designated by the
Board of Supervisors Of Elections.
Because of the difficulties en-
countered in several counties of
Maryland as a result of recounts,
members of the election board ad-
vised every voter to read carefully
the instructions Of the attorney
general in regard to voting so that
there will be no chance of voter
having his vote declared illegal, or
being thrown out because of i'm
proper markings.
They advised being sure that the
ballot is marked with an indelible
pencil. Any other kind of pencil OF
pen will make the ballot illegal.
An indelible pencil is usually pro-
vided in the booths.
They advised that the voter
make a cross mark (X) after the
name of every person for whom
you wish to vote, and to be careful
to make no mark on the ballot
other than the cross marks. The
cross marks are to be made entire
ly within the squares. A check
mark will make the ballot illegal.
Ballots also are rejected on which
a cross mark has been made and
then rubbed out, leaving a blur in
the square.
The supervisors called attention
to some false information being
circulated wherein a cross mark
for just one candidate for congress
would make that entire ballot
either Democratic or Republican,
depending upon which candidate he
selected for Congress. 1t is posi-
bic in West Virginia to make a
mark at the head of the ticket
which indicates either straight
Republican or a straight Demo-
cratic ticket, but not so in Mary
land. Citizens must put cross
marks after the names of each
candidate for whom they wish to
vote.
After marking the ballot it
should be folded as it was when
you received it. A person spelling
ballot must deliver it to the
Judge in charge of the ballots and
receive another from him. Any per-

This year. when the Rams
opened negotiations with Barker

covered he was no dummy. TAX
ing another long look at the
impressive list of Rams ends,
Barker asked for a no-release
contract or trade to another

Calgary in the Canadian League.

The Redskins gave up Hall
Haynes, defensive back who

for Barker, and both teams may
have benefited. The Redskins,

satisfied.
Barker is anxious to have a
"big" year for his new club. He
lost Is pounds during the eff
season. due, he thinks, to the
operation on his knee. But he's
back to 189 and expects to reach
his regular weight of 1875 before
long.

the floor. for the rangy Red
skins end from Washington State
is a hunter and fisherman, and
he's pretty handy with a gun.
A country boy. Barker comes
from an area where game and
fish abound, and he's been after
them ever since he was big
enough to hold a gun. His most
impressive bag was an elk that
dressed out to ATT pounds.
A friend of mine. got one that
dressed out to 466 pounds" Ed
recalled. "and the ranger said it
was the second biggest shot in
the Blue Mountains, so mine had
to be up there with the big boys"
Pheasant. duck and other fowl
abound in the Yakima Valley and
the Barker refrigerator usually is
well stocked. Ed is rather modest
about his Workmanship, how
ever.
Elk Best Target.
Il guess I hunt elk rather than
deer because they're a bigger
target" he said. "And I've been
lucky"
Barker hunts with a 5000
rifle. a 30.06, .27O and Magnumi
800. British gun. A high
powered rifle is necessary to
bring down the big fellows.
The 6-foot-3 wingman, who
seems to have sewed up a regu-
lar job with the Redskins, hasn't
had as much luck with his fish
ing. A four-pound rainbow trout,
14-pound salmon and some aver
age-Size steelheads-salt water
trout represent his biggest
achievements with rod and reel.
Right now the 25-year-old
Barker is concentrating on
catching passes. He has taken
a physical pounding that would
discourage a more faint-hearted
player, and there have been days
when he couldn't hold a ball
with a basket. But Coach Curly
Lambeau isn't worried.

eve know Ed can get them"
Lambeau said, land he can miss
all he wants in practice if he
catches them in a game. That's
where they count"
Barker believes he is the only
football player ever laid low by
yard marker. It happened last
season when he played end for
the Pittsburgh Steelers against
the Giants in New York. Ed
went for a pass near the side
line, ran out of bounds and
tried to hurdle the big, box-like
marker. His knee hit the thing
and Ed said he heard a carti-
lage pop. Subsequently he I'M
derWent an operation for the
removal of the cartilage and he
looks and runs as good as ever.
The deal that sent Ed to
Pittsburgh was an odd one, too.
It was announced as an "if"
trade between the Rams, who
made Barker their No. draft
choice last year, and the Steel
ers. Barker was supposed to
stay with Pittsburgh If he made
the team and didn't get hurt.
