ether prize for winning the con.
test-the Governor pointed to
some of the more human" &C.
complishments during his term
of office. These included the
building of a gym for use of the
boys at the Maryland State
Training School, the formation OF
a Library for folks at the School
for the Deaf and Mute in Fred
erick, and the raising of the al
lowance for the Fire Extension
program at the University OF
Maryland from the $4,000 al
lowed when he first came into

the current year.

success. He also reminded his au-
dience that fire prevention is not
a zone week affair" but should
be constantly kept in mind. Final
ly, he noted that efforts are be-
ing made to create a State Fire
Marshalls Office in order to help
reduce life and property loss by
fire on a statewide basis.
Thomas G. Oyster, Public I'M
provements Committee chairman
for the Chamber, gave a brief re-
port on the growth of Wheaton
during the past year. He pointed
out that when the Governor was
in the area last year between
three and one-half and four mil
lion dollars worth of construction
had been accomplished in the
Wheaton business district, that
there was currently $1,075,000 in
construction under way; and that
in the foreseeable future this fig
ure might rise to $17000,000.
Terming Wheaton lone of the
fastest growing areas in the
country, Mr.. Oyster gave visual
evidence of that fact by display
ing two photographs-one of
Wheaton in 1947 when it was a
mere crossroads, and one taken
recently which shows the ire
mendous growth of the area both
commercially and residentially.

INDUSTRY MUST
INVEST MONEY
Says National Association of
Manufacturers State Must
Invest Millions
INDUSTRY INVESTMENT

1t has recently been pointed out
by the National Association of
Manufacturer that Delaware in
dustry must invest about $3.50
million in the next 81 years in
order to provide needed jobs for
a labor force which will increase
by approximately $1,000. While
these figures are based on what
is known as projection" they may
be considered fairly accurate. In
dustry has for years studie d
trends to determine how business
will be months and years ahead.
On the basis of consequent find
ings plans are laid to obtain raw
materials, n e w machinery, etc.
and discuss the possibility of in
creased plant facilities. S. 1t is
equally important that people un-
derstand that their future de-
pends on the summaries derived
from these studies which are in
terpreted by economists.
Industry Investment
Every community, m all and
large, must have an conom
source. Families must have an in
come and their money is spent
with local merchants who m turn
obtain merchandise from suppliers
and manufacturers. In the final
analysis it is the success of local
business and industry, multiplied
by all the communities in the
country, that determine the econ
omic condition of the tt o n.
Equally as important as the pur-
chase of manufactured goods is
the investment in industry. Mil
lions of people own stock today,
paying market prices with money
they have saved. Savings, insur-
ance and bond payments of others
increase individual ownership and
responsibility even m O re. NAM
points out that it is most impor-
tant that the federal government
act to provide a healthy atmos-
phere for investors. This would
include, NAM says, a balanced
budget, reduced taxes and a cut
in unnecessary government ex-
penditures. With $3.50 million to
raise in 21 years careful planning
and complete understanding are
most necessary.
