Harness Up Old Betsy!
She May Win A Prize
AT Farm Bureau Picnic

Members of the Montgomeis
County Farm Bureau figure that
the gasoline and tire shortage
will play little havoc with their
annual picnic next Thursday,
August 10. In fact, the rationing
restrictions have given them the
big idea for one of the feature
events of the affair-an "old Dob
bin" contest, with paize for the
family arriving in the best horse
drawn rig!
In most other respects the pic
mic, which will be held on thu
Edwin D. Fry farm between Lay
louisville and Unity, will follow the
same fun-for-all pattern of past
years. The committee In charge,
headed by Mrs. Edwin Fry and
composed of the Farm Bureaus
board of directors, members of the
Laytonsville Etchison discussion
group and Mrs. Ward Fulton,
chairmen of the Montgomery
County Associated Women, has
promised that no speech-making
will be allowed on the premises.
Starting at 10 A. M, the picnic
program calls for softball, horse
shoe pitching and other games and
contests for guests of all ages and
sizes. Basket dinners will be the
order of the day. Tables will be
provided. Other amusements will
include wading, swimming and
pony rides for the youngsters.
Josiah Jones, winner of the hog
calling contest for the past several
years, has issued a challenge to
all strong-lunged farmers who are
planning to be present.
The Farm Bureau has invited all
members of the Grange, the Home
makers and the All clubs to at
tend the affair. Ample parking
space will be available in the
meadow, Mrs. Fry announced.

Save Waste Grease
To Make Powder
Great Need For Glycerine.
Government Tapping Every
Source Of Supply

Grease makes glycerine, and
glycerine makes gunpowder. The
need for glycerine is so acute that
the Government is tapping every
source of supply. That is the rea-
son for national fat-saving cam
paign in which housewives are
urged to save every bit of waste
grease.
Arrangements have been made
with meat dealers to receive waste
grease from housewives. The deal
er will pay for it-just few cents
pound-but every penny counts
toward War Stamps.
Local salvage committees or
your extension agent will answer
questions about the fat-saving
campaign. Cooperate with your
neighborhood extension leaders
and get neighbors in on the move
ment.
There are four things to do and
four things not to do in the fat
saving campaign.
Save all fats and use them in
preparing foods. Every tablespoon
used means buying less fat at the
store. Save fats used in deep fry
ing, whether they are lard or vege-
table shortening. Use them over
and over until they are too dark
and strong.
Pour the surplus fat into clean.
wide-mouthed cans, straining as
you pour to remove meat particles,
Keep the fat in the refrigerator
or some dark, cool place until you
have a pound or more.
Take it to your meat dealer, OF
frozen-food locker plant.
And now for the things not to
do:
Don't take less than pound at
time to your meat dealer.
Don't take the fat in a glass con-
tainer, because it might break
when the dealer puts it into the
big collection can, 1t would be
difficult and dangerous to separate
the glass from the fat.
Don't hold the fats until they
become rancid. If you do, the
glycerine content is reduced, and
they are unpleasant to handle or
keep on hands.
Don't take your fats to the meat
dealer on weekends.

Some idea of the ALLEGATION of
steel to various uses was recently
civen to a House committee by

Timber Can Be Insured
Against War Damage

Timber of merchantable size can
now be insured against loss and
damage from enemy action and
counteraction by American forces,
according to C. F. Winslow, forest
specialist for the University of
Maryland extension service.
The agency offering this type of
insurance is the War Damage
Corporation, a subsidiary of the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton.
To secure this insurance, appli-
cation must be made setting forth
the description, location and
amount of coverage Of the stand
ing timber. The rate is Is cents
per 500 per year, with 100 per-
cent reinsurance mandatory. No
policy will be issued for premium
of less than $500. In cases where
full insurance of the value is not
carried, indemnity will be paid
only in the ratio of the amount of
insurance to the full value of prop
erty described, in the policy.
Mr.. Winslow says that in the
past many numbering operations

Governor OCOnOr
Asserts u. S. Will
Be Axis Chief Foe
Declares ''There Must Be
And There Will Be A
Second Front"

In radio address delivered
over Station VIDAL on Sunday
Governor O'Conor spoke 10 the
people of Maryland on the war
The Chief Executive asserted that
the United States will eventually
emerge victorious after having at
tanned the position of the principal
foe of the Axis powers.
"Frankness" he said, "compels
the admission that our side has
been losing the war to date" The
next ninety days, he added, posi-
bly, will be the most critical in the
worlds history.
The United States won't lose the
war, he said, because it is i'm
possible to think that the Ameri-
can spirit can be killed"
The next ninety days will be
vital, the Governor said, because
upon what Germany accomplishes
during these three months may de-
pend, to a great extent, the final
outcome Of the war. And, what the
United States can do during this
period may well determine the ex-
tent of Germany's achievements.
When grim winter begins to close
down upon the Russian steppes,
then the free people of the world
will know their future.
"Those next three months in
Europe will determine whether
America will face war of years,
or can hope for victorious peace
at an earlier date. If America and
the United Nations are to escape
the tragedy of a long-drawn-out
conflict, that escape must be effect
ed before the Germans have won
their way to a winter haven where
they can prepare for long period
of misery for the world.
"There must be-and there will
be-a second front. America has
never depended upon other ma
tions to settle her issues. The
offensive will be taken by the
United States in Europe so that
Hitler and his kind will know that
there can be two parties to a
fight"
The Governor insisted that the
United States has a fraternal con-
nection Ordained by God with all
liberty-loving people everywhere
in the world"
Every State in the Union has
been pressing to the utmost to
meet the responsibilities resulting
from the war, especially Maryland,
he said. He pointed out that the
Maryland Council of Defense has
functioned uninterruptedly since a
year and half before Pearl Har-
Dor.
"Today, under the banner of civ
ilian defense, more than 1856, 900
volunteers are enrolled, the Gov
ernor continued. Training has
been given in such important roles
as afraid wardens, air spoilers,
auxiliary firemen and police, med
ical and fire-aid personnel.
"Maryland's military forces also
are in first-class shape. The State
Guard, composed of almost 5000
well-trained men, is our first line
of defense. After inspection by the
War Department, this Maryland
organization has been placed at
the very head of State Guard units
on the basis of training, discipline
and efficiency.
"Next are the Maryland Minute
Men, $4,000 strong. In every sec
ton of the State these volunteers
will be available for the protection
of their homes and their loved ones
in the event of dire emergency.

This led to a race, ne says, be-

he believes, may encourage private

Ramey looked sulky. Karen Wa

Karen Waterson was amazed at
