Well worthy of mention with
the Red Cross pioneers are the
members of the Women's Vol

They march thousands

human suffering in peacetime
as well as wartime.
The White House Lass" as
she was affectionately called,
organized her friends into
Christmas Club to play Santa
Claus to the needy children
she glimpsed on afternoon
drives with her father. She
became president. The first
year the club collected more
than 10000 toys, sweets and
clothing.
Mrs. Finley. whose leader
ship dates from 1899, and
many Of her army Of volun-
teers wear decorations for war
time services. They carry on
in these peacetime days, with
special stress on efforts for the
welfare and happiness of the
people of the community. They
are intent on being prepared
for duty in flood or disaster or
any emergency that may arise
IN this atomic age.

BALTIMORE, Aug. IL R.-
Chairman Russell s. Mccain said
yesterday the State Roads Com
mission will virtually cut in hall
the amount it spends this yeai
under the States l2-year $56e
million road building program.
Last year, Mr.. Mccain said
the State spent 500 million. This
he said. represented almost o
two years normal expenditure.
In the future, said Mr.. Mccain
the commission will schedule
work at the rate Of about 81 mil
lion a month.
He also said it will be neces-
sary to transfer SO million in
stead of the usual 50 million
from funds earmarked for new
construction and maintenance.
The increase was made neces-
sary, Mr.. Mccain said, by in
creased maintenance costs and
failure Of the General Assembly
to authorize an increase In
motor vehicle registration fees.
Mr.. Mccain said the commits
sion had decided to advertise fol
bids on 10 projects, involving
construction Of about Is miles

Der and October.
