THE fact that he is now
speaker of the House of Dele

responsible positions since his
election to office is ample proof
that Mr.. Wilkinson's abilities
have been recognized not only
by the people of this State but
by his colleagues in the House.
He has been highly praised
several times by outstanding
educators because of his UNI
firing efforts on behalf of pub

Said Governor Tawes, "The
day is as significant as the
Fourth of July, In the Declar-
alton of l n d ependence, we
Americans said we were free.
In the Treaty of Paris, Eng.
land agreed"
And so, this year, the Mary
land Governor proclaimed jan
uary IA Ratification Day, to be
honoreG throughout his State,
while on January Is he will
personally conduct a ceremony
at the State House. The diff
ference in dates is due to the
fact that January ID falls on
Sunday.
Diplomats invited, other than
the representative of England,
are from countries that aided
or recognized the United States
during the Revolution.

Skin of the Teeth
Governor Tawes observed
that the ratification was an ex-
citing business. A deadline was
involved and the United States
almost did not make it. The
treaty, ratified, had to be pre-
scented to the English Parlia-
ment by the end of March and
by mid-January Congress had
not yet assembled a quorum,
although the session had begun
i'm November. Getting the doc
ument across the Atlantic could
take two months. Congress OBJ
viously had to act fast and was
in a position where it could not
act at all.
