your letter: Ralph j. DUDE Of %
Lydia street, who said he served

Republican that he resigned from

not conscientiously oppose the pro-

This Is fine and patriotic at

hope that other members Of these

cause to reconsider their attitude.

Gaithersburg PTA
School
Canning Project
Plan To Remodel Old Gym
Into Modern Cafeteria For
Hot Lunches

Gaithersburg Parent Teacher
Association has launched canning
project for the school cafeteria to
provide canned fruits and vege-
tables to be used next winter.
Mrs. William S. Becker, presi-
dent of the Association states
"Mrs. James Wilson started the
ball rolling by donating bushel of
green beans which she canned with
the assistance of Mrs. Lycurgus
Griffith and Mrs. Benjamin Reid.
"Mrs. o. w. Anderson, also set
good example by canning a half
gallon jar of beans for the school
while canning the family supply.
There are from $50 10 600 parents
represented in the school if every
parent would donate a jar of food
there would soon be good supply
on hand.
Empty jars can be obtained by
contracting Mr.. Slacum (phone 1857
or Mrs. Lycurgus Griffith, Jr.,
(phone 131M). Mr.. Slacum will call
for surplus commodities and ar
engagements will be made for can
ming in the domestic science room
of the school. Mr.. Slacum has al
ready proven himself an excellent
bean picker"
Plans are also under way to con-
vert the old gymnasium into a mod
ern cafeteria-a splendid steam
table is being purchased, that the
children may have hot plate
lunches.
The PIT. A. president ends with
this plea: "The strength of Amer
ica's tomorrow depends on the
health of today's children. How
much does your child's health mean
to you Won't you help this pro-
ject?"

exactly what was done last Mon

Mr.. Bassler alone to haul the
shocks from the field to the thresh-

function is the gathering Of hay.
And in this it is even more efficient.
With the use of the buck rake Mr..
Bassler has been able to harvest
about forty-fve tons Of hay this
year and has had the help of two
men and his daughter. Mr.. Bassler
has brought the hay into the barn.
He managed to keep a man busy
sticking the fork and one man in

ter drove the mule to the fork.
That's the story of what Mr..
Bassler's "buck rake" has done.
The story behind the rake is about
as follows: Much has been written
about the use of "buck rakes" in

been made to manufacture them
for commercial sale. Home made
affairs were mostly used by truck
