Guest Speaker Al Meeting
Sponsored BY WEI

A demonstration of comparison
between the present system of
Standard Broadcasting and FIRE.
quency Meditation broadcasting,
with Ewell K. Jet, a member of the
Federal Communications Commits
sion as guest speaker, was held at
Franklin Court auditorium la S t
Tuesday, with radio station WEI
as host. Included among the guests
were more than hundred repre-
sentatives of radio receiver diStrib-
uters and dealers. Grover c. Grill
ley, general manager of the Hagers-
town Broadcasting Company, well
coined the guests and introduced the
speaker.
Before discussing his subject, Mr..
Jet paid very high compliment to
WEI, which he described as one of
the best stations of its size in the en-
tire nation.
Turning to Frequency Meditation
broadcasting, or FIN, as it is more
commonly referred to, the speaker
emphasized the main advantages to
the radio listening audience as be-
ing: The elimination of static, in
reference and fading, and a greatly
improved tonal quality of programs.
Radio manufacturers Mr.. Jet said,
are beginning to manufacture FIN
sets in large numbers and they are
also producing an attachment for
Standard broadcast receiving sets,
for those who would prefer that to
buying a new radio.
Following Mr.. Jett's talk, repre-
sentatives of General Electric show
ed the motion picture, ''The Story of
FM," which gives a detailed ex-
PLANTATION of the advantages of FIN
from the listeners standpoint.
Mr.. Crilley, in closing the meet
ing, told his audience that the FIN
station of WEI will be in operation
in the near future.

Discovery of New Carrier Gives

Montgomery County now has 10
Typhoid Marys," DR.. v. L. Ellicott,
county health officer, revealed to-
day as he reported a hitherto un-
discovered carrier of the dread in
fection who already has infected
three persons, one of them seriously.
At the same time he said the
three cases have brought the total
in the county this year to eight,
the largest number in six years.
There was only one case reported
in Montgomery last year and six
in 1914
DR.. Ellicott said that hitherto
there we're nine known carriers of
typhoid in the county, persons who
have had the disease and who are
now healthy, but who will carry
the germs in their systems for life.
With normal precautions, he ex-
planned, such as not handling food
and incubation of those who live
in the same house, these people are
not dangerous to others. Until one
person recently came down with
typhoid, he said, it was not realized
that the latest carrier, a man, was
infectious.

Virginia Rails Plea
For Rate Rise FOUGHT
By Farm Spokesman
BY ths Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, Va, July II. - An
application of rail carriers operating
in Virginia for an increase in freight
rates was taken under advisement
by the State Corporation Commits
sion yesterday after spokesman for
agriculture, fertilizer, pulpwood and
brick interests registered opposition
to boosts on their commodities.
The carriers. in seeking increases
parallel with those recently author
ized on interstate shipments by the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
cited sharp drops in operating rev.
enues since the end of the war to-
gether with equally sharp increases
in operating expenses.
L. M. Walker, jr., State commits
sioner of agriculture, in opposing
increases on farm-used commodities
however, declared an intrastate
increase would work hardship on
farmers shipping many different
commodities.
Farm Materials Cited.
He mentioned agricultural lining
materials especially, and reported
that approximately 1000 900 tons of
such materials were used by Virginia
farmers in l945, of which 100000
tons was moved by rail and 95 per
cent of the latter amount originated
in ""the official territory" portion of
Virginia.
Mr.. Walker also estimated that
more than half of the 641,713 tons
of complete fertilizer and fertilizer
materials used by Virginia farmers
during the fiscal year ended June 80
was moved by the railroads, and
most of it intrastate.
1T Is clear" he argued, that
any increase in freight rates on
such commodities would be paid for
by the farmers, and will increase
their operating costs.
Labor Costs Doubled.
Farm labor costs on the average
are twice what they were in 1889
and 1910, and on the average the
worker only does about half as
much work. This increases his labor
cost around four times, while ar
ticles which he sells have not gone
up in such proportion.
Present farm commodity prices
will likely work lower much more
rapidly than will articles which he
needs to buy. Under farm commod- =
ity prices of recent months, and even
today with OPA dead, it takes more
farm commodities to buy labor
lumber, fencing, farm equipment
and some other supplies, even il
you can get them, than at any time
I have ever known during the last
40 years. Barring certain sales like
timber and having bought and SOLD
livestock at the right times, the
farmers cash position has come
about by saving and doing without ,
While accumulating some cash
Mr. Walker said the farmer hao
been able to do this because he
could not buy needed items, hao
neglected normal repairs and faced
a heavy accumulated depreciation.
The proposed increases would be
approximately 6 per cent in South
ern territory-south of the Norfolk
& Western and Virginia lines-ano
would add an additional S per cent
in official territory. which is north
of the N, & W.-Virginia lines.
Evening star., 1946-07-17

A fourth person recently con-
tracted the disease at a Washing
ton eating place, he added, while
the others apparently were infected
while travelling.
He pointed out the carriers are
scattered throughout the country
with no concentration in any one
area.
DR.. Ellicott said the eight cases
are far from an epidemic number
and there is no cause for alarm
He also said that in usual contact
on the street, in buses, in stores
and even visiting in their homes
there is no danger of receiving
typhoid from carriers.
The only way, he added. to free
a carrier Of his potentially lethal
burden is to remove the persons
gall bladder, and none of the lC
carriers apparently care to submit
to such an operation.
DR.. Ellicott's only warning was
that persons who travel a great
deal should be inoculated.
Otherwise. he reported, the coun-
ty is unusually free" of disease
this year.
