100,000 EXPECTED AT CORN HUSKING National Champion Will Be Determined in Ohio Con- test Today. B2 the Associated Press. NEWARK, Ohio, November 10.— Eighteen tanned stalwarts adjusted their husking hooks today for the na- tional corn-husking contest before a erowd which was expected to grow to upward of 100,000 persons by starting time. City slickers and bucolics alike eyed the muddy field on the Alva L. Oyler farm 13 miles southwest of here and predicted that luck and the strongest | back would play an important part in | naming the 1936 champion to succeed Elmer Carlson of Iowa. ‘Ted Balko of Minnesota, 1934 na- tional champion, assumed the propor- tiors of a highly-regarded dark horse. Balko appeared to have one of the huskiest backs on the field, and ob- servers thought he was in excellent condition to go through the 80 min- utes of competition without a let-up. Ground Not Favorable. The fleld was wet and much of the | corn on the 100-acre tract had been | beaten down by hail, wind and rain, | forcing much bending over. In addi- | tion the entrants, who went through a warm-up workout yesterday, said the | fields are “spotty.” Ears plentiful in some areas and al- | most non-existant in others led Day- ton Roberts, 28-year-old Missouri | State title holder, to declare that “luck and luck alone will determine the next national champion.” ‘The Oyler farm resembled a county | fair today. There were large tents, concessions and machinery exhibits. | Telegraph wires have been rigged up | and a short-wave radio set assisted trafic men in keeping roads open. Local hotel rooms were clogged. ; Tractor drivers laid out “alleys” in | the field, cutting away all of the corn | except the rows for the huskers to per- mit spectators to follow the battle, Attend Banquet. Contestants wound up the prelim- inaries by attending an banquet last night at which the favors were husking gloves with the traditional two thumbs. When one side wears out you flip it | over and wear out the other side. Although the “bangboard derby” was to end one hour and 20 minutes after 18,000 Children Due To Get Dependent Aid in Maryland Assembly Provided More for Tkem Than for Old-Age Pensions. BY the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, November 10.—The Board of State Aid and Charities es- timated today approximately 18,000 children in Maryland, less than 16 years of age, will be receiving “de- pendent children” aid on Decem- ber 31. o J. Hamilton Patterson, executive secretary of the board, said budgets for the quarter ended on that date show Baltimore City expects to have approximately 11,000 children on the rolls, with the remaining 7,000 regis- tered from the counties. ‘The figures indicate, he said, that 2.4 per cent of the county popula- tion less than 16 and 4.7 per cent of the Baltimore City population less than 16 will be receiving aid by the end of the year. By that time, he added, the total State-Federal-local’ funds of $2,249,- 000 will have been “pretty well used | up.” On September 31, with 13,739 children on the rolls, a total of $989,- 985 had been spent for the six months beginning April 1, 1936. The program, for which the State Legislature appropriated $1,450,000, runs until April 1, 1937. Patterson called attention to the | fact the Legislature appropriated more for children’s aid than for old-age pensions. The pension allotment was $1,000,000.
