Help Your Merchant
To Save Paper

If your merchant doesn't wrap
your packages as he used to, just
remember that the War Produc-
tion Board has asked him to save
paper by doing away with all
unnecessary wrapping and using
sparingly such gift wrappings as
remain. Other conservation meas
ures your merchant has been
asked to follow: 1, avoid double
wrapping, such as paper over a
box; 2, avoid inner stuffing or
inner wrapping unless necessary
for protection; 8, avoid decorative
effects that use extra paper; and
A, inform customers of necessity
for the simplest gift wrappings.

MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
: BIZ ELSIE WHITE HAINES

What has Howard County got
"that we amt got? We have al
ways most emphatically said
Nothing not a thing!" But
this summer we have realized that
many upper Montgomery County
residents slip over into Howard
County to enjoy picnicking at
Kramer's pool near Glenelg for
the simple reason that for all the
thousands of dollars spent for re-
creation here we have nothing of
the kind to offer.
The large commercial pools are
too far away to benefit the rural
people-the Manor pool and the
private pools are, of course, only
for members and friends. The
streams of the upper county are
for the most part too shallow to
afford even good "swimmin' holes
so there is a crying need for
several picnic groves with swim
ming pools, for the good healthful
recreation they would afford. Ger
tainly if the Kramer family has
made its pool pay (they are now
in their 9Th year, it can be done
without much cost to taxpayers in
this county.
The Kramers have utilized the
old mill stream at what was once
Dorseyville, to furnish the fresh
water-the simplest of equipment
is used-the picnic tables are crude
but strong-sometimes one has to
take down bars to enter the place
because cows are wandering
around-chickens and the family
dog stand around while lunch is
in progress all a part OF the

A series of Red Cross swim

Schools from both Montgomery

MICS there. Business and profess
slonal men and their families from
both counties may be seen relax
ing under the large trees--don't
you think we should try to inter-
est our county fathers in provid-
ing something similar for us. It
is not for US to suggest how it
should be done-we only know that
the people in Montgomery always
get what they want if they go
after it hard enough and we are
fortunate in having officials who
really want to know what the peo-
pie desire. How about it?
Have you been married 75
years.? asks a we'll known flour
company. The company writes to
ask THE SENTINEL if there is such
couple among our readers to in
form them so they may send them
cake.
If there is such a couple in our
county their married life will have
spanned a period of remarkable
development in this country. Their
early romance would have occurred
in the closing year of the war
between the states and the recon-
struction period that followed.
Among them might be a wife who
was a girl of Is in 1859, She
would be 80 this year. Her hus-
band might have been a returned
boy soldier, or a youth still in his
teens who was inspired by the
spirit of the pioneers of that day
and struck out at an early age to
establish his own home. Write or
call US if you know Of such a
couple.
1t is estimated that about $50
couples will be found in the whole
country.

Never have 30 many hogs gone to market the first
part of the year as in 1914 There have often been
days when large numbers of hogs went unsold
at the markets, due to shortage of help. This
has meant extra marketing costs to hos producers
Meat packers have also carried over from day to
day larger numbers of hogs than usual. One week
end, Swift & Company held over more than
15O, O,OOOlive hogs, which could not be slaughtered
that week. Such carry overs mean additional
expense to packers because of shrinkage, feed
costs, cripple and death losses, etc.
In 1943, all meat packing plants operating un-
der federal inspection slaughtered:
23,363, 900 lambs
11,727,O 900 cattle
5,2O9, 900 calves
This is more livestock than has been slaugh-
tered under federal inspection in any one year
heretofore But during the first six months of
1914, there were slaughtered approximately:
80 per cent more hogs
81 per cent more calves
"a per cent more cattle
5per cent more lambs
