what should my curfeW

want to complain, but 1

At home, my morals are

Preparedness: Best Assurance
OF Peace-The air show put on by
The Soviets in Moscow last week
was impressive Among the new
models that zoomed over the
Soviet capital we're a jet-and-rocket

winged supersonic bomber The
air show made it clear that, for
all their talk and propaganda about
missile might and ICBM strength,
the SoViets are not ignoring their
piloted bomber power They are
strengthening and improving it
along with missile development.
The show made it evident that
the Soviets have continued with
the development of all classes of
aircraft. We should do the same

who pushed through an appropria-
ton of half billion dollars more

an interesting commentary on

water in the United States the
Soviets come along with some
buster, threat, aggression, or show
of force that has assured adoption

Seeks Information
On Caves In County

Additional information on caves
of Maryland is being sought by
members of the Baltimore grotto
of the National Sociological So

of rewriting the Maryland book
on caves and bringing the infor-
nation up to date
The book on Caves was written
in 1850 and discoveries of addi-

brought out the need for a new
pamphlet.
Charles Louis Smith, of Balti-
more, vice-chairman of the Bal
timorc grotto, was in Garrett coun-
ty this week endcavoring to find
additional information.
AT present there arc only three
known caves in the county and an
additional one reported which has
never been verified. Known caves
are Sand cave, near Loeb Lynn
Heights, John Friend cave. at
Sang Run, and Crabtree cave, near
Savage river dam site, on north

"As Refreshing AS a Breath OF
Clean Air'-Ever so often, we are
reminded of the good stuff of
which Americans are made. A case
in point is the action Of the city
officials of Newburgh, New York,
in attempting to make some sense
out of the welfare program in
( their city Resenting the misuse of
public funds on undeserVing mooch-
ers, the Newburgh city fathers
drew up some regulations. Among
them we're requirements that (a)
no one except the blind aged and
disabled receive relief more than
three months out of any year; tbl
relief than the take-home wages of
more than one Legitimate child;
and tc) no family receive more
relief than the takehome wages of
the lowest paid city employee.
PraiseWorthy as may be the honest
thinking back of this action, it was
stopped dead in its tracks by the
professional Welfare-state boys
who held up their hands in horror
at such common sense. why, the
State might lose as much as $500
100000 of Federal money if such
regulations were put into effect"
they walled At hurriedly called
hearing. where the NeWburgh of

a sigh of relief and continue to
loaf and draw the maximum num-
Der of benefit checks before 60

many deserving cases temporarily
on the unemployment compensa-
ton rolls, but these were not to be
effected by the proposed New
burgh restrictions Before the
legal technicians took over and
rescued the undeserving, we were
favored with a fleeting glimpse Of
