E. Stockda]c, state executive officer for the Agricultural Ad- justment Administration, states in pointing' out that quota regula- tions cover the .buying" and selling" I of wheat and include severe pen- alties for failure to comply with I marketnig regulations. The marketing" quota re~ffla- tions apply to ~both AAA coopera- tors and non-cooperalors, :is well as to farmers who have planted within their allotment and those who have exceeded their allot- lnent.

What farms are sulbject to CITIZENSHIP TEST Many tests of good citizenship are concerned with the simple, homely aspects of everyday living. One of these common problems is that of keeping our highways and roadsides clean. A man who motors extensively through the Northeast- ern States says that each year the motoring public is grow- ing more thoughtful. That is encouraging. Waste pa,pers, fitter, anff d ris can spoff tile charm of a 5eau ffufgrove, inviting glade, or green field. Decent manners and true co artesy require us to be thoughtful of others.

An ordinance as Charles Town may have to adopt, has been enact- the City Council. Bicycle owners are required to bay alieense ta$ at a co t of 25 cents each which they mast display on the rear mud guard of their machines. The ordinance to regulate bicycle traffic provides, ampng other thin.gSo that no bicycle shall carry more pas- than it is equ poed to carry. On the street, a bi- m mt beep as close to the right side as is pos- exercising special care in passin.g parked vehicles. crossing sidewalk, he give way to pedes- trians, as the latter has the right of way. Operating a bi- cycle on a sidewalk is forbidden. Likewise is forbidden, a bt y taking hold of any other vehicle while in mo- tion. Proper l ghts must beattached to the front as, well as the rear of the bicycle if it is to be ridden at night. Penalties for violations of the ordinance are exceed- iagly light. The worst that can happen to a violator is to be denied the use of his achine for 30 days or have h pounded for an indefinite period. Nothing is said atmut fines or jail sentence in the ordinance. FIGHTS THE WPA At Jefferson Barracks, near St. Louis, the Government had buildings that needed painting. It gave 28 to WPA ,mgn and the other 272 to union painters. ; union men immediately went on strike, notifying the of the United States that it must remove WPA men or take the consequences. Except that lacks the nerve to put national interest fear of labor leaders, it would have drafted aH painters into the army. Then instead of pay- a month for the job it could get the work a month and board, as it gets an even more job done by the boys it drafts.

Beetles and starlings have plagued us: we don't want high water to add to our ~roubles. This old town was invaded by armed forces last Friday--by a motorized unit--but with peaceful intent. A company from Fort Meade, under the command of Capt. Shipes, spent the day at Antietam Battlefield and Harpers Ferry, brushing up on military history, we presume. Because a storm was imminent, the boys did not visit the Rock and the Fort, as planned, but eonten.ted them- selves with what they could see (through the bushes and trees) from the Hill Top tIotel drive. Yes sir, army life must be more a(>traetive these days, what with tours arranged for the lads, etc. Young ladies of the village can testify that the Tennessee Yoo- H~)o method of approach was not used here (all Generals please note).

She will visit the Fred Potts in Elyria, i Ohio; the Kirk Keysers in Balti- more; and her sister, Mrs. Annie Potts at her home here. That's covering ground, but of course Miss Murphy is a railroad lady! Breathe a si ~h for poor Ned Herr! Ned broke his left arm a couple of months ago, in a friend- ly wrestling match. On Sunday he tumbled from a high windowledge and broke his right arm near the wrist, a sort of compound frac- ture. He has suffered greatly with the injured memiber ever since. Two othe/, young men who have )een on the casualty list are Jay Eackles and Larry Bird. This pair was lured to M'artinsburg to an operating factory, where they un- consciously parted with tonsils, adenoids, teeth, etc one day last week. At this wri.ting they are hale and hearty once again. Waiter Wheatley and family, of Passaic, N. J recently spent two weeks with his mother, Mrs. Blanche Wheatley, at. her Bolivar home.
