By tn. Associated Press

No one won the American
League pennant in the last IL

White Sox and Tigers lost their
chances in that span.
With the All-Star Game break
at hand, the Yankees hold q
'five-game lead over the Indians
who are a length in front of the
White Sox. Ten days ago the
Yanks were 51a games to the
good, with the White SoX second

record for the 10 days, taking
over fourth place and pulling
within seven games of the Yam
KEGS.
The Yanks played only SOC
ball for the 10 days, while Cleve-
land won 8 of IL. The White
Sox and Tigers, who faded al

Road Service
Chances Exist
On All Sides

If you were to start out on a
half-million mile drive with the
specific purpose of aiding fellow
motorists along the way, the
chances are you would have the
opportunity of rendering first
aid to 81 injured people before
your trip was completed.
You might assist in the ex-
tinguishing of IA fires and, if
you were mechanically qualified,
5,946 stranded motorists would
welcome your offer of help to
get them started again. If you
carried complete set of maps
and were schooled in points of
interest in the vicinity you were
travelling, you could give touring
information to 5,163 people.
Properly uniformed and under
standing the handling of traffic,
police might ask you to lend a
hand in traffic situations some
254 times. Yes, you might even
extend your civic helpfulness to
the aiding of communities in tire
staging of special events about
"a times.
This good-samaritan perform
ance on your part would just
about equal the partial record of
Keystone Automobile Clubs ex-
panded Road Patrol which did
travel approximately a half-mil-
lion miles in 1854, and found the
opportunity of rendering some
service to a motorist every SO
miles of the way.

4-H Leaders Go to
Machinery School

Some 70 All Club local leaders
are expected to attend a special
farm m a ch inery care short
course at the University of Mary
land, January 27-28.
The school is a kickoff for a
new unit in the All tractor main
tenance and care program, "Ma-
chinery Care"
According to Guy Gienger,
agricultural engineer for the Uni
versity of Maryland Extension
Service, the machinery care unit
is designed to give All Club boys
fair knowledge in caring for
all types of farm machinery, in
addition to the tractor. The All
tractor program is now in it's
tenth year of operation in the
state.
During the two-day school
three experienced All tractor
leaders from each of tn e %
maryland counties will receive
special training on four phases
of farm machinery care. These
include nuts and bolts, screws,
rivets and nails; transmitting
power, tolls to work the soil; and
servicing seed planters.
The school is sponsored by the
University of Maryland Exten-
sion Service in cooperation with
an oil company and a farm
equipment dealers association.
Members of the University's Ag-
ricultural Engineering depart
ment will conduct the school.

! Patrons of the Chesapeake
Bay Boat Show will be quick to
recognize and appreciate the
workmanship of the imported en-
tries. Then they will judge their
practicability for use in local
waters.
Kings Cruiser was designed
by World-famous Tord Sunden
and is beautifully built, luxurious
and able, yet inexpensive. The
length-over-all is 26 ft. 9 in and
the loft of the mainsail is % ft.
9 in.
While the Zephyr is shorter by
3 feet than the Kings Cruiser,
both boats require high, spacious
booths of the middle section of
the Fifth Regiment Armory for
their first, full-sail showing in
this country.

Grain Loan
De0dIine Set
For Feb. 28

Maryland farmers who have
crop grain under loan an d
stored in commercial warehouses
are being notified of the dates
by which the loan must be re-
paid if they wish to retain
possession of the grain.
The repayment and loan
maturity dates for wheat and
barley is Feb. %, according to
George B. Reeves, chairman of
the Maryland State Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation
Committee.
Growers who wish to repay
their loans must have the neces-
sary funds in the mail on or
before maturity date of Feb. %,
1855. In instances where the
current local market price is
above the loan plus carrying
charges, growers are urged to
redeem their grain since it will
be to their financial advantage
to do so.
In cases where growers do not
redeem their grain the ware
house receipts will be turned
over to Commodity Credit Cor
poration. If the market value of
the grain has gone above the
value of the loan plus interest
and charges the difference will
be paid to the producer by CCC.
Chairman Reeves makes it
clear that the above applies only
to grain under CCC loan and
stored in public warehouses. 1t
does not apply to grain stored
on the farm or to grain under
purchase agreement. He explains
that growers of grain stored on
the farm usually have time after
maturity of the loan in which to
redeem their grain. This is the
period when arrangements are
being made for the necessary
storage space for the grain
taken over and for getting de-
livery instructions to the grower.
In the case of grain under
purchase agreement the grower
may elect to deliver or not when
the final delivery instructions
are issued.

Our Congressman Makes
Great Discovery: Many Ask.
More US. Aid, Lower Taxes
By CONGRESSMAN DEWITT S. HYDE

Cumberland area, and $4,000
for the long-awaited Hancock-to
Cumberland C&O Canal park
way.
There are many similar pro-
jects all over the country not
included in the budget.
Strangely enough, some of the
people most disappointed over
their omission are the same
ones who variOusly call for
lower taxes or an end to deficit
financing.
This points up the respon-
sibility of our voters. They
should send to Congress or to
their state legislatures repre-
sentatives who are pledged to
vote for what their constituents
want. But If voters want
greater Federal expenditures,
they should not object to high
taxes. And If they ask for
lower taxes, they should not
object to a greater Federal
debt.
On my calendar: Tuesday I'll
attend the dinner and celebra
ton honoring Rockville, chosen
by Look magazine and the Ma
tional Municipal League as one
of IL "All-American" Cities or
the basis of governmental reor
ganization to keep pace with
growing population.
Wednesday I will present my
views on the Capital area transit
situation to the Joint Committee
on the National Capital. Thai
evening I will attend the Mont
gomery County Lincoln Day
dinner, and Thursday will be al
the Presidential breakfast OF
the International Council fol
Christian Leadership.

Boating Fans Note Similarity
IOf SiUedish, Japanese Crafts

Although originally designed
for use on opposite sides of the
World, there is an eye-catching
similarity in the graceful lines
of the Kings Cruiser, Sweden's
entry in the Chesapeake Bay
Boat Show, and the Zephyr, rep.
resenting Japan in the six-day
marine display at Fifth Regi-
ment Armory, Baltimore, begin

The two imported boats were
designed for speed under sail or

but still hold the practical fea-
tures resulting from hundreds of
years of bodybuilding in their
native lands.

amount off the spending esti-

the expected rate, with conse-

Increase in the governments

There is growing demand for
balance on the governments
books. Since we are at peace,
and are enjoying prosperity in
most areas, it is time that the
Federal government put itself on
a pay-as.we-go basis. Assuming
the nation would be at peace,
President Eisenhower pledged
every effort toward this goal in
the 80 campaign.

before driving. 6. Remember that
the application of comm u cour-
tesy TO traffic situations will pre-
vent many accidents.
In swimming: 1. Learn TO swim.
1t is healthful, invigorating exer-
else, but more than that, knowing
how TO swim may enable you TO
save your own life, and perhaps
another's. 2. Wait at least one hour
after eating before going in the
water. If you do not, you run risk
of being seized with stomach
cramps. 3. Never swim alone unless
help is within calling distance. 4.
Don't overtax your endurance by
swimming too far, unless accom-
panied by a boat. Take it easy.
Don't swim too long, take frequent
rests.
In boating: /. Never ride in a
boat that is loaded beyond its pas
senger capacity. 2. Wear an appfov-
ed-type preseryer when going in a
canoe, rowboat or other small boat
If you are not an experienced
swimmer. 3. Be extremely cautious
with matches and smoking materi-
ais while in a boat, especially a
gasoline power boat. Igniting gaso-
line fumes cause many tragic fires
and explosions.
