could encourage members to make
up articles for a big bazaar to he
held sometime in November, at
at which time the articles would be
sold. The project demonstrators
will give this lesson in their own
clubs in October. In September
this group will get together again
to exchange more ideas and make
further plans for the bazaar. II
the articles can be standardized and
made attractive enough, it is hop
ed this feature may lead to some
small home industries. Stuffed
toys, aprons, luncheon sets, knitted
goods were some of the lovely
articles displayed. Mrs. Carlton
Savage is County Chairman Of
this project.

If you are among the numbers
oe people who take the short cut
from Damascus, Laytonsville, etc
through Redland to Rockville, you
have probably wondered just as we
did why the chickens in small en-
closure at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Nicholson, near
Smiths Corner were being fed
orange peels where such quanti-
ties of peels came from, and if
there was any food value in them.
We had the answer to the last
question when Miss Vashti Bartlett,
then at her winter home, "Silver
/! Sands" at Pass-a-Grille Beach,
sent us a copy of the st. Peters
burg Times, of April 80, 1944, with
story of Citrus Concentrates,
Inc, story which has since been
widely publicized by the Saturday
Evening Post.
The Post story dwelt on the con-
centrated juice which it stated was
so strong that special cans had. to
be used, for it ate through the
usual type. The part of the Times
story that most interested us was
that dairy feed was being made OF
the peels of the citrus fruit. We
Immediately thought of the OF ange
peels those we'll nurished chickens
had been pecking at during the
winter. Citrus Concentrates, Inc,
had just recently completed a new
dairy feed mill at the cost OF $500,
600 which was being used exclu-
sively to convert citrus peel into
COW feed. About so tons Of citrus
pulp and 40 tons of blackstrap
molasses was being mixed daily.
The feed was said to contain a
large amount of protein and was
proving a boon to dairymen in ad-
jacent counties where there was a
shortage of feeds.
We stopped and chatted with a
son of the Nicholson's on Sunday
and learned that his mother had
worked for "Hot Shoppes" during
the winter which explained the
source of such large supply and
that the hens picked every bit OF
pulp off and seemed to like it and
do well on their strange diet. "Why
did you stop feeding the peels?' we
asked. "Mama does not work there
any more, was the reply.
Seeing our old friend, Mr.. Will
liam G. Brewer pictured with his
great-great grandson, the 4-year
old Mark A. Getzendaner, 3rd, and
other members of their family in
the Washington Star Monday, re-
minded US that we had several
notes from him last winter, one
of which gave US quite a start,
when he spoke of having been con-
fined at one time in Frederick City
jail.
First we will speak Of the five
generations There is the great
great grandfather, Mr.. Brewer,
aged "a; Mrs. Mary G. Cramer,
II, great-grandmother; Mrs. Mark
A. Getzendaner, 48, the grand
mother; Mark A. Getzendaner ii,
the father and little Mark A., the
3rd, looking as if he is already at
the tender age of years realized
all the responsibilities Of living up
to the traditions Of his family.
Then we thought about the jail
and got out our file just why was
the young William A. Brewer con-
fined in the dungeon of the old
Frederick jail over 85 years ago?
Well it was very simple after
all it seems that his father built
