76 West Leo Street AT POLKEMEETIN6 Juiist Tells Officers to Act Without Fear or Favor Judge Joseph D. Mish addressee members of Hagertsown's polic department in City Court room las night. He told the officers to "do you full duty as you understand it without fear, favor or expectation of reward." Judge Mish cautioned that a po lice department is no stronger than its weakest member, adding tha there was a general tendency the public to criticize officers en deavoring to do their duty. He told the officers that policin, was largely a matter of judgmen and told them to "act with care after consideration" and to alway treat the public with respect. The jurist pointed out that sue cessful performance of a police de p'artment was somewhat like a sue cessful football team, with each member pulling together fo victory.

EARL NEIKIRK, Manager Situation Discussed at Meet of Soil Conservation Officers The serious lack of spray material for fruit was one of the main subjects discussed last evening at a regular meeting of the Washington County Soil Conservation District held in its office in the Grice Building.

County Agent Mark Miller made the suggestion that soldiers be secured from some nearby camps to work temporarily in a chemical plant which makes sprays, so that county orchardists may be assured of sufficient material this season. Efforts to secure soldiers for this work will be made. The suggestion was to have soldiers work for a week or so, being given a furlough by the commanding officer. They would receive the usual wage paid to these workers, besides their Army pay. Accepting the work would be on a voluntary basis.

The scarcity of spray material, one leading county orchardist stated, is now a major problem and more so than the weather. As most of the peach blooming is over and the shucks cover the buds, the danger from cold weather JS not so great until the shucks hurst, but by that time warm weather may be here to stay, an orchardist said. A few apple trees are already in bloom but it will be a few. days before all trees bloom. Fruit in this county is a month ahead of the usual time.

This may be an advantage if normal conditions are present as it may avoid some very hot weather and dry conditions later in the season. Fruit growers of Franklin county, are also apprehensive of the weather and hoping that the thermometer will stay above the 30 degree mark, otherwise a large crop valued at thousands of dollars might be ruined. The difficulty in securing containers for fruit is another problem orchardists are facing this season. It is expected that some imported labor, including Jamaicans or Bahamians, may be secured to harvest the fruit. NEW REGULATION OF OPA EXPLAIN ED Retailers Meet to Hear Discussion of Price Ruling A new retail regulation designed to freeze the cost and selling prices of apparel, drygoods and house furnishings as of March 19, 1945 was explained to a large number of Washington county retailers by Alan Wurtzburger, Baltimore, chief of the textile, leather and apparel section of the OPA district office at a meeting held yesterday afternoon in the courtroom at the City Hall.

The regulation goes into effect on April 20. Wurtzburger termed the new regulation (Maximum Price Regulation No. 580) "sweeping" but declared it is "eminently fair to the retailers and gives them Washington Merry-Go-Round break." every He explained that by April 20 retailers must have drawn up a pricing chart on the new pricing basis and submit two signed copies to the Maryland District OPA office in Baltimore. A third copy the retailer retains himself. If the retailer does not have an acknowledgement from the OPA by May 4, that his copies of the price chart have been received, the merchant is forbidden to sell merchandise covered by the regu- 1 a i Wurtzburger explained.

Each piece of merchandise must be marked with the ceiling price. Although the regulation does not include wearing apparel covered by women's and children's outerwear apparel regulation No. 330, the new regulation applies to all merchants selling apparel, dry "oods and household furnishings if ten per cent or more of their sales are made to individual ultimate consumers. Sales to another retailer or wholesaler must be made at cost. Wurtzburger said preparation of the price chart will be a "big oh," but.

he added that once it is completed, pricing will be simplified for the merchant. As a result of the price chart there will be no arbitrary markups, he stated. Chart Lists Categories The price chart will reflect the various goods offered for sale on March 19, he explained, pointing out the retailer must determine vhat merchandise handled on hat date and then list the cost and selling price of each of' the ategories on the price chart, 'rices to be determined thereafter will be determined on those prices. In preparing the chart, if the nerchant had a mark-down on merchandise on March 19, he will be permitted to on the chart as his selling price, the price asked )efore the mark down. However, an must be placed "beside the figure on the chart.

Frank S. Leiter, of Leiter Brothers, is serving here as chairman of a group of retailers, to help hem clarify various details of the new regulation. He appeared yes- erday at the meeting and read off ome questions put by the retail roup which were answered by Mr. Wurtzburger. The latter also an- wered a number of other ques- ions.

They are to be distributed to the G.I.'s who will fill them out, try to figure out the number of credits they have earned to give them a quick return home. The one thing still undecided by the Army is the number of credits necessary for immediate release. This columnist is able to reveal, however, that: 1. All credits will be determined as. of the date the war in Europe is over.

2. Special credits will be given for overseas service, and overseas service will mean any service outside the continental limits of the U. including Alaska. Thousands of men who served in Alaska will receive overseas credit. Overseas service will be determined from the day a man leave a port of embarkation.

3. Combat credit be given only for those receiving the Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Legion of Merit, Silver Star Distinguished Flying Cross, Soldiers' Medal, Bronze Star A.ir Medal, Purple Heart or Bronze Service Stars for battle participation. No other awards or ribbons will be included. 4. Credit will be given for children who are under 18 years of age on the day the war in Europe ends, but for some mysterious reason the Army will not allow credits for more than three children.

NOTE One mystifying thing about the forms which have been secretly sent commanders overseas is that they make no provision for a serviceman's age, thus men over 3S, many of whom have not been declared physically fit to go overseas, will have to sweat it out longer in uniform than younger men. Henry Kaiser Conciliates Few people realize it, and Shipbuilder Henry Kaiser is too modest to admit it, but he was the guiding genius behind the recently signed pledge for post-war industrial peace just promulgated by Eric Johnston president of the U.
