designated respectively by a spade held in the right hand of the
plowman and a fish held in the left hand of the fisherman (the fish
is heraldic and cannot, therefore, be identified as to any species).
The plowman wears a high-crowned, broad-brimmed beaver hat;
the fisherman wears a knitted cap (somewhat resembling the modern
A stocking cap). The motto in Italian on a ribbon at the feet of the
plowman, and fisherman is the motto of the Calvert family "Fatti
Maschi Parole Femine" loosely translated as "Deeds are manly,
words are womanly." Behind and surrounding both shield and sup-
porters is an ermine-lined mantle and on the circle around this part
of the Seal are the words "Scuto Bonae Voluntatis Tuae Coronasti
Nos" (a part of SEE the twelfth line VERSE of the Fifth Psalm:
"With favor wilt thou compass us as with a shield").

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
July 1, 1969.

Approved April 9, 1969.
