Committee Obtains
Help on Trick
or Treat Program

Unanimous cooperation in max
ing the trick or treat" custom at
Halloween into a project for the
United Nations Children's fund,
has been obtained from local or
ganizations in Oakland, it was an
nounced this week, which indi-
Gates a wide acceptance of the pro-
gram.
The aim of the program is to
give children something construc-
tive, in their house to house visits
instead of the excessive Halloween
calls that have been the practice
over the past several years. 1t is
presumed the children will have
just as much fun ringing the door
bells but the result will be more
satisfying.
The Mayor and Town Council of
Oakland set aside Wednesday, Oc
tober 81, as official UNICEF Hal
loWe'en. At this time the boys and
girls who usually make visitations
to homes night after night for
candy, apples, and other contribu-
tionS, will take this one night to re-
ceive cash contributions that will
be turned over to the United Ma
tions fund to fight against diseases
such as malaria and tuberculosis
and to provide adequate nutrition
for growing children in the world
who otherwise would be neglected.
Mrs. Walter w. Dawson, who
heads the Civic club committee
working on this project, said this
week that the Oakland Girl Scouts
were making posters to publicize
the program. All the schools have
promised their cooperation. Of
ficial containers are being prepared
by various youth groups
Parents are being urged to pre-
sent the plan to their children with
the request that they confine their
trick or treat" excursions to this
one special night. Persons of the
community also are being asked to
put on their porch lights on that
evening as an evidence of their
cooperation and assistance.
Assisting Mrs. Dawson on her
Youth Conservation committee are
Mrs. Frederick Thayer and Mrs.
Earl Zepp.

Foley Proposes
More Potomac
River Planning

Democratic Congressional Candi-
date John r. Foley called Monday
night for a greatly expanded pro-
gram of planning and conservation
to develop the Potomac River basin.
He addressed a rally at the Will
liam-James hotel in Oakland spOn-
sored by the Democratic State Cen
tral Committee. Foley pledged eff
forts to more than triple the budget
of the Interstate Commission on
the Potomac River Basin to con-
vert words into action"
He said what was needed was
to increase the commission budget
to "at least 100000 a year" The
commission is limited by statute
to a budget of 100000 at present.
Hyde Replies
In Congressman Hyde's reply
this week he declared Mr. Foley's
attack on Potomac River develop
ment shows his complete lack of
knowledge on the subject when
he talks about trebling the budget
of the Interstate Commission, he
demonstrates that he does not
know what he is talking about Con-
gress does not create the budget
and does not appropriate for the
commission. The money is raised
by the four states and the District
of Columbia, who are parties to the
agreement. The five Jurisdictions
concerned Whould have to amend
the agreement and agree to appro-
pirate the money themselves" said
Hyde.
HYDE said he had done all that
is possible for a member of Con-
gress to do in promoting the de
velopment of the Potomac River
valley He would know it was at
my insistence that a meeting OF
the Governors and the District
Commissioner was, held at White
Sulphur Springs to encourage the
amendment of the agreement be-
tween the states"
George P. Mahoney, Democratic
candidate for us. Senate, in his
remarks, cited his Republican OPP
ponents vote against the Depressed
Areas bill as evidence that he
wasn't concerned with the prob
lens of Western Maryland.
In other talks here he reiterated
his pledge to favor an increase in
income tax personal exemptions
from $500 to $500.
