In loving memory of Jean Mar
lie Nicholson on her birthday Sep.
TENDER l, 1855.
When we reach the heavenly
garden
And see her in full bloom,
The flower we loved so dearly
And thought God plucked too
soon.
Oh, then we will know the
reason,
Though we know it not TO-.
day,
Why in her fragrant beauty
God took our flower away.
Loving Mother and Dad

Road Bond Issue
or SIS Million

BALTIMORE, May 12.-The
State Roads Commission will sell
$25 million worth of bonds in
July to finance additional con-
struction in its 12-year highway
program.
Chairman Russell H. Mccain
hopes the bonds can be sold
at little if any advance in the
2.06 per cent interest rate the
commission was able to get on
it's first sale of $25 million last
year.
The bonds will be dated July
l, start of the new fiscal year,
and will keep the $568-million
long-range program in funds for
another year.
Mr.. Mccain reported most
construction work on jobs placed
under contract last year is now
on schedule or ahead of schedule.
This means several major prof.
ects, including the new Eastern
Shore Expressway from Centre
vile to. the Delaware line at
Warwick, and an 8-mile south
ward extension of the new Wash
ington National Pike between
Washington and Frederick, will
be ready for traffic in the fall.

Surdine Industry
Protests A-BIust
In Pacific Ocean

SAN FRANCISCO, May IL (P).
The San Francisco Sardine
Association yesterday protested
the impending explosion of an
atomic device in the Pacific
Ocean as danger to the sardine
industry.
This explosion may complete
ly destroy not only the fish but
the spawn. which will have a ter
rible impact on the economic life
of the people engaged in the vari-
Gus fisheries" said George j.
Christie, secretary of the packers.
THE sardine industry as a
whole has gone through seven
very terrible years. Now that
the sardines are on their way
back to our waters we do not
want anything to happen that
will further delay the recovery of
the fishery" he said.

State Legislation
On Labor Hailed
By the Associated Press

Administration leaders yester-
day hailed the furry of labor
law activity in State legislatures
this year as a welcome shift in
responsibility from the Federal
to the State level.
President Eisenhower said he
was heartened by the revival of
interest in State labor legisla-
ton, which followed his call for
States to take on a greater role
IN the labor law field.
Secretary of Labor Mitchell
reported virtually all State leg
lslatures meeting this spring
have considered new labor laws
or improvements to existing
laws. He said there had been
more activity in State and ter
ritorial legislatures ION behalf
OF workers" than at any time
since 1899.
Mr.. Eisenhower's remarks
were contained in a message
read by Mr.. Mitchell at the open
ing session of the Labor Depart
ment's 2lst annual conference of
State labor legislation. More
than 200 State officials and
union leaders were present.
Saying the States are stag
ing a comeback" Mr.. Mitchell
told the group that States ARE
showing that they can in many
ways do more for working people
than it is possible or practicable
for the Federal Government
to do"

Emotional Upsets Regarded
As Leading to Surgery

to befall the emotionally dis
turbed person"
Among other reports to the
meeting were these:
/. The Veterans Administra-
ton, in 16 of its mental hos
pitfalls. has obtained encouraging
results with an experimental
employment program designed to
help discharged patients bridge
the gap between hospital dis
charge and getting adjusted to
work in their own communities.
Patients in the experiment get
their discharge papers but then
get paid job at the hospital
itself, with the objective of RE-
storing normal work habits"
2. The California Medical Fa-
cility-a penal institution at,
San Pedro-iS experimenting
with a group psychotherapy
program" aimed at fortifying the
prisoners against criminal acts
in the future. Indicating that
conversation is likely during the
group sessions, DR.. Nathaniel
Showstack said one side effect
of them sis that they serve as
little riots helping to reduce
the possibility Of major riots"

Town 10 Be Run
By Men Again

LUNEBURG. Germany, May IL
tNANA). - Men finally have
clawed their way back to politi-
cal power in the women's town
of Haarstorf, near here.
But you can't get a Haarstorf-
er to bet whether the men have
really won a two listed victory
or been outfoxed by their women
opponents.
At World War IT'S end, allied
authorities found that every
member Of the all-male Town
Council had an unsavory Nazi
record.
At the same time, the women
celebrated their liberation from
the doctrine of kinder, kirche
and kuche" children, church
and kitchen) by entering into
politics wholesale.
For a decade, Haarstorf's 200
people have been governed al
most exclusively by women. Only
one man, Wilhelm Perth, has
held a council seat since 1945.
At the latest elections, how
ever, Mayoress Lisbeth Dolinski
stepped aside and the voters
elected Mayor Forth.
Said Mrs. Dolinski, who has
been named to the county coun-
Gil:
I'VE women have too tender
a heart to be tough when the
situation demands a hard hand.
We lack the strong mans fist
which can get action by pound
ing on the table top"
Responded Mr.. Forth: 1.-THE
women have done such a good
job in running the village that,
indeed, there won't be much for
me to do"
Some local political observers
speculated today that the women
have executed strategic with
drawal rather than suffered a
defeat.
A backlog of unpopular town
tasks has piled up. it was pointed
out. Local betting is that Mayor
Perth will get to handle all these
dirty deals-then find himself
back on the short end of the
mayoralty vote.
