Hearing on Wages for State Construction Workers
A Maryland hearing on prevailing wages for state construction workers continued as the commission prepares to set rates for a 90 day period next Tuesday. About 60 contractors and union representatives attended, with objections raised to the law as unconstitutional. The rates will apply to state institutions and road projects, not to schools or private builds, and will be grouped into regional units across counties. The eight lower Eastern Shore counties are one unit while other counties form separate regions. Mothers Class at Evangelical Lutheran church held its monthly meeting with a Baker Park picnic and plans for the next gathering on August 29.

Go To Suburbs By George Cornell
In a wartime reflection on population shifts, the atom era prompts city dwellers to consider moving to suburban or rural areas. Preliminary 1950 census data show a 260 percent surge in major suburbs versus 5 percent in the city, while real estate notes a trend toward country markets. Sugar buying signals war scare preparation, with Grand Union noting declines in some stores yet spikes in others as shoppers stock up for potential disruption.
