cutting wallpaper. The best paper
hanger was the one with the long
est arms. One woman mixed paint
all day long. Others spread it. The
ones not subject to dizzy spells did
outside work on ladders.
Three days later Miss Beebe's
place was as bright and clipper
as new dollar.
The party was so great success
practically and socially that the
women decided to fix up each 9TH
er's homes. They called themselves
THE Harrison Brigade" and went
to work. Since they are in and out
of each other homes almost every
day anyway. they notice when re-
decoration is needed. A few tele-
phone calls determine when all or
most of them can spare the time
to spread paint and good neighbor-
illness.
Cleanup At Camp
The Harrison Brigade showed
the way to keep summer visitors
dependent upon Harrison. Up
wards of 100 boys get extra lessons
in health and fun each summer on
Long Lake at Camp Za-ke-Lo.
When the owners were searching
for camp maintenance crew, the
brigade sent three of its volunteer
repair women.
The maintenance crew of three
went to Camp Za-Ke-Lo for the
definite purpose of repainting $50
beds. 200 chairs, benches and din
ing tables. But they also sanded
floors and waxed linoleums,
ended by repainting the camps
43 buildings.
In this way Harrison women
have painted and worked them
selves into the busiest. happiest.
and most satisfying community
life they've known.

While looking for the car, the
three boys. Danny Wilkins, Eu-
gene Ganious, and Lee Carney, OF
Nesbett Courts, were found near
Maffitt Village with a car which
fitted the description. The auto
mobile had a flat tire, and appar-

woods to hide the loot, officers said.
However, the boys. admitted TAX

a Nazi agent, replied today with
a challenge to the congressman
-1o come out in the open and fight
clean by waving his congression-

should be publicly horse-whip-

statement said to Coffee: Ger the
first time in my life I regret I
am not a man so that I could
take on the job and land you in
the hospita, all wrapped up i n
bandages."
Coffee read to the house yester-
day what he said were love letters
from Miss Kellcms to Count Fred
erick Karl Won Zedlitz. In her re-
ply Miss Kellems said that as
early as 194l she had made full
report to the F. B I. and the State
department on the counts activi-
ties.
Miss Kellems, who last year ad-
vised business men not to pay
taxes but use the money to set up
postwar reserves, challenged Cot
fee to make those same state

you into court, force you to prove
them, or put you in prison where
you belong"

her Canadian agents, said in her
Statement:
! Until now I have refused to
make a statement regarding Count
Zedlitz because there are some
things that cannot be said until

have to say is so important that
I refuse to say it until I am before

A company official told him that the miners relax in the 30 minutes 1t takes them to scrub the coal dust off their bodies under show CTS. Doody went into the showers. Four days he showered. He came out with a clean beat - answers from 200 miners.
 And speaking of showers, Doody says that the only question in his surveys that's always answered the same is. How often do you bathe?" Everybody, it seems. bathes daily.
 Take His Gadget
 Once a war plant asked Doody to find out where safety signs should be posted to reach a maxi mum number of workers. AS the interviewer entered the plant, he had with him his counting machine, a little gadget carried in the palm of the hand. He was going to stand in corridors and in hooks and cram nieS to see where workers congre- gate.
 Fearing that Doody would be suspected as a Nad spy, the man. agement took the gadget away from him. They figured 1t even looked suspicious for him to stand around with pad and pencil and mark down numbers. Doody ended by counting on his fingers.
 His report said that 75 per cent of the signs should be posted in the powder rooms.
 Sometimes Doody has to go around to the bars to see what radio stations the boys in the back room listen to. Of course, he has to drink a couple of beers to be one of the boys.
 Dogs Cooperate
 But Doody always curls up and goes to sleep when he drinks beer.
 Especially since the war started. dog food manufacturers have asked Doody to find out what a dog food is the most popular. As a man of scientific spirit, Doody goes to the dogs themselves. He impanels a consumers jury" of mongrels. He praises the simple cooperation of his subjects. They either like the food or they don't.
