Should Not Be So.

For some time past the citizens OF
Thurmont have been enjoying the
privilege Of having electric current
practically continuously. The ex-
ception, however, comes almost daily
about six O'Clock in the evening when
almost every consumer wants light
without interruption. The interval
of darkness varies from about one
half minute to two or three minutes.
not very long, It's true, but long
enough to be very aggrivating to the
housewife preparing a meal, the
family seated at the table, and the
merchant selling goods.
Just why it is we do not exactly
know, but whatever the reason,
things should be so arranged that the
dark interval happens before the dark
ness of the night sets in.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR HICKORY
HANDLES.

Through new specifications for AK
sledge, adj. pick and other hickory
handles, the Panama canal authon-
ties have recently purchased large
quantities of this class of material for
one-fourth less than formerly paid,
and at the same time are getting Just
us serviceable stock.
The war department and the navy
department, as well as the Panama
canal commission, have adopted these
specifications, which were prepared
by the forest service primarily Tor
the use of the various branches OF the
federal government. Subsequently,
however, they have been approved
by the trade, both manufacturers and
dealers, and adopted by several OF
the leading railroads.
The new rules are the result OF a
long study of the subject, covering
exhaustive strength tests, investiga-
tons Of the growth of hickory in the
woods, processes of manufacture, and
market conditions. Under tn new
specifications handles are selected ac-
cording to weight, as influenced by
the density of the wood, and they
now include material which may he
either partly or wholly of heartwood,
known generally as red hickory. Red
hickory was formerly discriminate
against in commercial grading, but
it is now accepted, sine, it has been
found that weight for weight it is just
as sprviceahle as the white hickory.
Handles which contain small sound
knots or bird pccks, SO located as not
to affect the strength, are also ac-
ceptcd,

A Good Show,

~ NOUN SHON.
The Girls Frien dly Club, of Middle
town, Md, came to Thurmont last Friday
evening and gave playlet entitled
Breezy Point" in Town Hall.
Breezy Point is light comedy, a
little love affair being woven in the story.
The characters are all taken by ladies 60
not man appearing on the stage.
Everyone in the cast performed their
part very nicely, and their efforts were
appreciated by those present.
The specialties between acts, the Hat
song and the solo work by Miss Kefauver
w.re hits of the evenings performance.
Either the title of the play Breezy
Point" or the sharp cutting breezes that
blew at any old point last Friday-we
presume the atter-kept many per sons
from seeing this delightful play.

Thanksgi, ing for the Blessing Of Peace


Once more upon Thanksgiving Day
We gather round the board
And for the bounty Of the year
Give thanks unto the Lord.
From every table in the land
Delicious cd RS rise
OF turkey. mashed potatoes, fruit
And mince and pumpkin pies.
Beneath parental roofs again
The sons and daughters meet,
And bring the toddling little ones
All rosy, plump and sweet;
And gazing on these happy groups
New thankfulness we feel
To Him whose kindly Hand protects
Our homes from fire and steel.
We know beyond the deep today
The winds o winter blow
Der ruined hearths, and empty walls,
And bitter want and woe.
There Famine grips the weak and old
With bony fingers dread,
And weeping women starve and die,
And orphans cry for bread.
So this Thanksgiving let US reach
A hand across the sea
Filled with the generous overflow
Of our prosperity,
And 10! for all of US who help
The victims of the war,
The turkey will acquire taste
1t never had before.
