STRIPPING ELECTRIC
02:|a4: IMPORTANT

FIFTY-NINE YEARS ago little fac
tory building in downtown Pitts
burgh opened for business and it's
relatively few employees started
turning out equipment for a STRIPPING
electric industry. That was the birth
of Westinghouse Electric Corpora
ton, January 8, 1886.
The first Westinghouse catalog

ture; today its catalog lists hundreds
Of thousands of electrical units rang
ing in use from locomotives to curl
ing irons. In normal years the COM
pany employs more than 10000 per-
sons-a number which was greatly
increased for mammoth service to
the government during the war.
Since 1895 the company plants at
East Pittsburgh have been the head
quarters works OF. manufacturing
network embracing plants in Is
cities.
Besides its large participation in
this nations recent war effort, the
Westinghouse peace time achieve
ments constitute a long and impress

the immense power of Niagara Falls
for electrical energy and, also, in rev.
olutionizing the method of generat-
ing electricity from coal.
Now this formidable force in the
country's progress, the Westing-
house company, which had such
humble beginning, is an important,
valued customer Of The National
Bank of Commerce of Seattle. This
bit Of history has again impressed
the fact that virtually all successful
businesses of today were once small.
That foundation maxim is rea-
son for this banks policy to devote
the full cooperation of all it's depart
ments to the welfare of individuals
or firms with sound, although
moderate, operations at the start.
Small business receives sympathetic,
constructive consideration here.

Civilian Supplies
Will Be Low

Supplies of meat, butter, sugar,
canned and packaged foods, clothing
and many durable goods will be
smaller in 1915, OPA advises. Record
buying and increased military de-
mands in 1914 greatly reduced re-
serves, which have so far helped meet
demands. The present scarcity of
metal household equipment and ap-
pliances will remain acute until
peacetime production can be resum-
ed. At the same time more people will
be eager to replace equipment and
household furnishings that are now
mere nearly worn out. Shortages al
ways generate an urge to pay higker
prices and get more. This increases
the danger of imitation. In 1945, OPA
states, supplies will be large enough
to meet essential civilian needs but
much smaller than the amount people
could buy with the money they will
nave to spend. The OPA program to
meet tkis situation asks rigid COM
pliance with rationing regulations
and price ceilings, plus restraint in
buying and high level of savings,
including war bond purchases.

Ration Free Shoe
Sale Coming Up

Limited quantities of mems and
women's shoes may be sold to con-
sumers ration free at specified price
reductions during the two weeks per-
iod OF February 10 through March
3, OPA announces. Two-fold purpose
of the temporary ration holiday, OPA
states, is to give consumers the ben
eft of extra shoe mileage that other
wise might remain unused on Dealers
shelves, and to help dealers clear
their stocks Of the normal accumula-
zion of odds and ends and broken
sizes. Before rationing, such shoes
were customarily disposed of in sea-
sonal clearance sales. OPA estimates
that about 100000 pairs of shoe
will be sold in this special ration-free
sale"

Road Builders
Oppose Divert
ing Of Funds
Proposal Is Branded AS
A Breach Of Faith

The Governors proposal to divert
road user revenues to pay for con-
struction of airports was branded by
the Maryland Highways Contractors
Association as "a breach of faith"
The contractors, in telegram to
Governor O'Conor, declared it was
neither necessary or desirable to "go
headlong into program of construc-
ton of airports,' at the expense of
the State roads and users of the
roads.
Highways and roads throughout
the State will have to be repaired af-
ter the war Ito point where they
cease to be hazard to users. and
such work will require much more
than the money on hand and in sight,
the association maintained.
The Governor was advised to build
the roads with money derived from
tax levies to do precisely that and
nothing else; to build airports with
funds derived from taxation imposed
on all the people of the State and not
on a specialized group.
The association also stated that to
meet the $4,800,OOO allocated to
Maryland on $3.50 basis by the
Federal Government would require
all of the accumulated balances, plus
the current motor revenue available
for Maryland.

Perkiomen Downs
Academy

In the third game of it's season,
West Nottingham Academy's basket
ball team suffered disastrous defeat
65-24 to Perkiomen School. The
Pennsylvania team had a distinct adj
vantage over the Academy's. West
Nottingham Academy on their own
floor was out-played the first three
quarters, but with the beginning of
the fourth period the Academy team
staged rally and ran up II points,
holding Perkiomen to 3.
West Nottingham again was de-
feated in the Elkton High game by
score of 41-19. Ike Academy was
at disadvantage in not having four
bmembers of the varsity available. In
the return game, which will be on
the Academy's floor, on February "a,
the teams should be much more even
ly matched and closer score should
result. Eskelman was captain for
West Nottingham Academy and Rey-
nolds was high scorer making nine
points.

MARKETING OF
FARM PRODUCTS

In discussing the expanding ser
vices which Southern States Cooper
alive is sponsoring in the marketing
of farm products, w. v. Fielder, Bal
|timore, an official of the organization
declared at the Southern States Re-
gional Board conference at Newark,
January 81 that "ten years from now
the marketing business of this asso-
citation may we'll be larger than its
purchasing business.
Marketing consists of making
farm products available to the con-
sumner when he wants them, where he
wants them, and in the condition in
which he wants them. To do this
many services are involved, such as
canning, butchering, transportation,
retailing and hundreds of others.
zone of the basic principles the
Southern States directors lave in
mind is the performance of these
services by ourselves as farmers on
non-profit basis through the med
iulm of our cooperative associations
Farmers will own and operate the
canning plant or the poultry dressing
plant"
T. Roy Brookes, Bel Air, member
of the cooperative's board OF direc-
tors, spoke on 1--WE and Our Coopera-
tive" He cautioned his hearers that
1.-The gravest danger tEat threatens
us is not the attack of our enemies
but our own complacency. Coopera-
ton is not something somebody else
does for US: it is something we do for
ourselves. 1t is self help"
The supply outlook for field seeds
is generally good.
Because of recent rulings by WPB,
freezing civilian production at pres
ent levels and tightening manpower
restrictions, it is possible that some
farm supplies will be shorter than
last year.
Mr.. Tc~tslson pointed out that
gasoline, kerosene, and fuel oil sup
plies will probably be the shortest
yet experienced because of lack of all
kinds of transportation.
Among those present at the con-
ference were the following members
of local boards: George ]. Hamilton,
Lincoln University, Pa; Leonard M.
Nelson, Frank Moody, Newark,
Frank Quay, G. Albert George, r. II.

Go. Superinten-
dent Discusses
School Needs

In talk before the Kiwanis Club
of Elkton, superintendent of Schools
H. Z. Mcbride discussed the pending
Maryland Educational Bill.
One OF the urgent statewide re-
forms advocated is the change to a
twelve year system from the present
eleven. Only two other states in the
union fail to provide at least IL
years of public education. Other
needs are smaller classes in the Ele-
mentary schools, more adequate
teachers salary schedules, improved
libraries, Mr.. Mcbride stated.
The establishment of Vocational
School for the County to be located
at Elkton to serve stuoents of the
level of last two years of High School
was recommended.
Figures were quoted to show low
little Maryland spends for public ed
ucation, in proportion to income,
ranking 47th among the states, al
though 7th in regard to income.
Only one state, of comparable income
gives less State-aid to public educa-
ton, and Maryland teachers are bad
ly underpaid.
1t was brought out that Cecil cOun-
ty stood 10th in the list of % coun-
ties in the amount spent per child
in the Elementary schools, and 14th
in amount spent on High school stu
cents, although it is Bird in ability
to pay. Its tax rate for schools, "a,
was the lowest in the State last
year.

Proposed New
School Plan
Pay Increase For Teach.
ers And Reduced
Size OF Classes

Governor O'Conor Monday nigh
submitted to the Legislature his pro
posed new school program, which in
cludes pay raises for teachers, reduc
ton in the size of classes and exten
sion of a 12-year curricula through
out the State.
The Governor did not Immediately
disclose his plans for financing the
program, but it will require sub
stantial allotment of State funds te
put it into effect.
Practically the entire cost of the
new program in counties which dc
not share in the equalization func
will be borne by those counties.
The bulk of State funds that will
be needed will go to those counties tt
which the State contributes enough
to bring their school programs up tt
the minimum standard VIXEN their 10
cal tax levies fail to produce sufficient
money to carry the minimum pro
gram.
If county levies 81 cents pei
500 in it's tax rate for school pur'
poses and this levy does not produce
sufficient funds to carry the minimum
program, the State pays the differ
ence.
The Governor did not Immediately
disclose whether he proposes to raise
the equalization fund levy above the
51-cent figure to assist in financing
the new program.
