Commander Cushman, who is in
charge of Navy Recruiting for
Pennsylvania, Southern New Jer-
sey and Delaware. made a special
plea for a Philadelphia company
to be formed this month. "Tnere
are so men in a company" he
said, "and Philadelphia is one of
our most important naval centers.
I hope this city can have the first
full company enlisted in this
area"
Plans have been laid for more
than 20 platoons in smaller areas
like the Valley Forge Platoon,
the Brandywine Platoon, etc. Keen
rivalry is expected to see which
can fill their quotas first
Commander Cushman said that
the Navy expected to continue its
policy of filling the ranks with
volunteers. MANY young men
want an opportunity to see the
world and learn naval skills and
other valuable vocational train
ing" he said, land 1 am sure that

President Of Harding College

Many socialist minded Americans honestly believe that
democratic Socialism is barrier to Communism. Thus
they earnestly work for gradual socazng of The Amer
lean economic system. Usually these people deastic
and their political and economic opinions based the
theories of presen-day social thinkers presented in
books and from lecture Platforms They haven't had any
actual experience with Socialism in action.
Sober-thnkng people interested in the difference be-
tween Socialism and Communism should read two signif
cant books. by lvor Thomas, ideaStc Engshman

Socialism in England; and the other by John Stachey,

Fertilize Cover Crops
Now, Help Vegetable
Growth In Summer

If YOU should happen to see a
Maryland vegetable grower out in
his fields spreading commercial
fertilizer one of these January
days, don't jump to the conclusion
that the guy is crazy.
Chances are he is following the
recommendation Of research work
ers, and is fertilizing his cover
crop now so he can get better
growth of vegetable crops next
summer.
Dr.. Francis Stark, vegetable
specialist in the University of
Maryland department Of horticul-
ture, explains the purpose Of ferti-
lizing cover crops now: Nitrogen,
phosphoric acid, potash and other
beneficial minerals are taken up
by the cover crop. When present
in cover crops in organic form, the
fertilizer elements do not leach out
rapidly when the cover crop is
plowed down. Thus. they are avail
able over a longer period of time"
Another advantage Of winter APP
plications of fertilizer to cover
crops is that there is less conflict
with other farm work at this time

Get Breeders Ready
For Early Chicks

Early chicks for laying flock re-
placements will soon be going into
brooder houses on Maryland farms.
This brings a reminder from Uni
versity Of Maryland Extension
poultryman Wade II. Rice that it S
time to check all brooding equip
ment.
Start the brooder stoves and
make sure they work properly" he
says. "Then, if any parts are need
ed replace them at once so there
will be no heat failure after chicks
arrive.
And while you are getting
things ready don't overlook electric
wiring and all the connections
needed to operate electrical equip
ment."
Another important reminder
from the Extension poultryman is
to have sufficient feeding and
watering space. His recommended
lions for feeders are: One linear
inch Of feeder space per chick the
first two weeks, ia inches per
chick from , to weeks of age,
and three linear inches per chick
from to 10 weeks of age.
Recommendations for founts are
20 linear inches per 100 chicks up
to two weeks Of age or two 1-gal-
lon founts, 40 linear inches per 100
chicks from , to 10 weeks of age
or two 3-gallon founts.
Rice also adds bit of advice
for egg producers who have doubts
about the number of chicks they
should order: Don't let low egg
prices last fall and this winter dis
courage you from ordering enough
chicks to fill your house with pull
lets next fall. The prospect is for
better egg prices for July, 1855,
to July, 1856.
Light breeds are the best bet
for producers of market eggs,
Rice says. "They eat less and lay
more than heavy breeds. This off
sets the weieht-market price adj
vantage Of heavy breeds as market
fowl"

schools have remained beyond the
reach Of politicians and out Of
politics.
Now State Senator Clifford
Friend, of Garrett county, has in
lroduccd at the Legislature a bill
to have the members of the School
Board in his county elected BY pop
ular vote. The measure carries a
provision fol a referendum in Gar
rett al the presidential election in
1856.
In drafting his bill Senator
Friend was quite adroit. The voters
would have the choice Of voting
For a non-partisan elective School
Board on Against a nonpartisan
elective School Board" From these
captions the unwary could jump to
the conclusion that to vote for
Senator Friends plan would take
politics out Of the schools while to
vote for the continuance Of the
present system would be to keep
politics in the schools.
The playing of politics may be
rampant in the public schools of
Garrett county. The people in the
county certainly know the facts
better than any layman on the out
side. But the Legislature should
move slowly with Senator Friends
bill and certainly not until expert
opinion has been obtained from the
State Department of Education.
The election Of School Board
members, even ON a "nonpaltisan"
basis, would be reversal Of a
State policy which has been widely
acclaimed in the past.

Congressional
Viewpoint
Sen. John Marshall Butler


With obvious political overtones,
the electrical power obligation,
more popularity known as the
DiXon-Yates issue, assumed by the
Atomic Energy Commission, has
been under constant attack since
last summer. Even now, certain po-
litical factions are preparing an
other fusillade on theological, pro-
cedural and economic grounds. This
sensationalism springs from a con
troversy which has long been rag
ing in this country-a controversy
which pits those who advocate pri-
waite development Of power against
those who favor public control and
ownership.
Unfortunately, too few people
know the real facts about the Dix
on-Yates transaction. In his Jan
ualy 1854 budget message, Presi-
dent Eisenhower stated that ar
engagements were being made to
reduce the burden on Tennessee
Valley Authority facilities which
resulted from iva supplying the
power needs to neighboring Atomic
Energy Commission plants. This
could only be accomplished through
the construction of additional ia
cilities, at cost of more than $500
million. President Eisenhower as
serted that private capital rather
than governmental funds should be
utilized, and seemingly the Con-
gress had similar sentiments for,

fused the request of IVA Ga who'll

find the best possible program
with which to perfect the policy as
enumerated by the President. The
proposal contemplates the constitute
