The Hounds and the Hare

The Hounds and the Hare
Ancient history records the tale
of Mithridates ~, King of Pontus
and Bithynia (about SO B.CD, who
cOncocted a confection, composed
of " ingredients, which he claimed
gave him special immunity. Now,
it would seem that Marshal Tito
of Yugoslavia, has hit upon a SINH
lar formula though the ingredients
are considerably different and
more in numbers. The principal in
gredient would seem to be curl
Gus blending of American dollars
with the communist teachings of
Karl Marx
Just one year ago, the minstrels
of the Kremlin, who wander with
a purpose, journeyed to Yugoslavia.
BY way of a return engagement,
only recently, Marshall Tito, with
much pomp and ceremony, made a
pilgrimage to Moscow. Simultane-
ously, on both occasions, this Gov
eminent was being importuned TO
send more economic and more for
eign assistance to YugoslaVia.
1t is interesting to note that, since
the end of World War ii. the com
munity of free nations has fur
nished Yugoslavia nearly SIS bill
lion dollars in aid. OF this amount,
the United States supplied an esti-
mated 81 billion. In the sense that
Tito has added more ingredients
to his Mithridate, he has also OBJ
tanned financial help from COM
munist bloc nations totalling about
S464 million dollars equivalent.
Singly, and together, these events
are fully consistent with the du-
plicity which has spanked the
spread of world communism. The

plan of operation never changes.
Such a double and deceitful game
was once described as ito hold with
the hare and run with the hounds
or to run with the hounds as if
to catch the hare, all the while be-
ing the secret friend of the hare
Those among us who have any
doubts as to Marshal TitO's real mo-
tives might ponder the meaning of
this old adage.
These two meetings have served
to strengthen the Belgrade-MoscOW
aXis-there can be little mistake
about this. These two partners have
again demonstrated a solidness of
mutual interests-interests which
fit the pattern of the international
Communist conspiracy - interests
which are contrary to those of the
free world. Support of this point
of view can certainly be found in
the coming gathering of Tito of
Yugoslavia, Nehru of India, and
Nasser of Egypt, all of which has
been carefully cultivated in adj
vance by the Foreign Minister of
Soviet Russia.
The need for a reappraisal of
our policy with all OF these coun-
tries is now more pressing than
ever.

Christmas Tree
Grew Four Inches

Most Christmas trees shed their
needles after the holiday season.
and some species more than others.
But it was a most unusual occur
renee for a BalSam fir tree situated
in the Half Price Stores Just two
days before the employees prepared
to dismantle the tree they dis
covered that this tree was putting
on new growth. In fact when the
tree was placed it lacked three
inches from reaching the 12-foot
ceiling, but now the new growth
was pushing against the ceiling and
there was new green growth all
over the tree. Some of the new
growth measured as much as four
inches. The light green color gave
an added atractivcness to the tree
E. r. O'Donnell, nurseryman, oil
Loeb Lynn, said the occurrence
was little unusual but did occur
when there happened to be good
quantity of sap remaining in the
tree when cut. The tree had been
in the store for about a month and
employees had kept the base in
water during that time.

Number on Relief
Remains About Same

Despite Maryland's booming
economy the number of persons on
state relief rolls has decreased very
little from a year ago. The same
holds true in Garrett county.
Thomas j. S. WaXter, director
Of the State Department of Public
Welfare, said that approximately
$4,000 persons are involved in the
.27,781 cases on the books as the
year draws to a close. The case
load at the close of last year was
Is, 246.
Waxtcr said he has asked in next
years budget for more money to
provide larger grants for the
needy. Statistics show that during
the year there was a decrease in
number of persons given old-age
assistance, general public assist
ance, and assistance to employablcs.
But the decreases we're consider
ably offset by increases in aid to
permanently and totally disabled,
aid to blind and to dependent chill
dren
Present average monthly grants
in the assistance catcgories are:
old age, S45.2O; permanently and
totally' disabled, S5347; blind
$5185; general public assistance
and aid to dependent children,
S237l per person in family, with
overall average of $53.48; foster
care, $4479.
Garrett county spent $3O4,54O for
public assistance with $35,253 going
for administration.

Earlier Defeat By
Southern So to s.

Beall High school Mountanccrs
avenged an earlier loss to South
ern Highs cagers at Frostburg on
Wednesday afternoon by turning
back the Highlandcrs So TO SO be-

favor by outshooting the visitors
at the foul line. Southern tailed
p field goals to Bealrs 10 but the
Mountaineers converted 20 of 81
free throws to only 8 of Is for
Southern.

Four players fouled out in the
close contest Beeman of Beall
