field-technicalities totally strange
to most of us, who take our trans
portation for granted.
In no time at all, various people
connected with motor transporta-
ton were coming to her for advice
and Miss Betty opened an office in
the Hotel Alexander, in part of the
premises now occupied by the Hop
kins Gruber Co. Then came a dra-
matte interlude. An important trans
port case was lost by a Washingto
attorney and the defendant in the
case asked Miss VIM to have the
suit reopened. Although opposed
by battery of seven attorneys, she
argued the case-and won it.
The Glove affair" between Miss
Betty and Transportation was lead
ing to the middle aisle. She became
active in founding the Hagerstown
Chapter of the Maryland Motor
Transport Association, for which she
has been office head, secretary and
manager through the years of its
development.
In the midst of conducting an of
flee service, representing large in
lsurance firm, writing copy for var
ious organizations, and finding time
for an active civic and social life.
Betty VIM managed to attend the
Academy of Advanced Traffic in New
York City and in October of last year
she completed the regulation two
year course and passed the ice.
bar examination. An examination
in which, incidentally, only about
one third of the candidates passed.
Just to keep busy, Miss Vim
worked during the time she attend
ed school in the legal department of
Associated Transport, as assistant
to the head of the commerce de-
partment-the first woman ever to
hold that position.
With characteristic energy, Miss
VIM expects to find time, as soon
as materials are available, to teach
basic traffic course here.

While strikes spring up like mush-
rooms all over the country, crippling
industry and reconversion, there is
one industry that is going full blast
- especially here in Washington
County - the hens that produce our
fresh eggs are really going to town.
Only few short weeks ago around
the market house, eggs were 30 to
so cents a dozen. Now for 35 cents
a dozen you can get the best of
fresh eggs and there were baskets
full everywhere you looked on the
market on Saturday. So, if you have
had trouble keeping your household
budget out of the red, take advan-
tage of this abundant supply of
eggs and use them in as many ways
as possible in your daily menus.

When she is amused her face takes
on the piquant charm of a naughty
and delightful little boy In her
more serious moments she reminds
you of nothing so much as a char
acter escaped from between the
pages of Sir James M. Barrie.
Her name is Betty VIM and she
is not only piquant, but petite and
exceedingly purposeful. Looking at
her across the shining expanse of
her big desk, it is hard to believe
that anyone so dainty and feminine
is vitality associated with the coun-
try's second largest industry-trans-
portation-not hitherto noted for be-
ing anything except a mans game.
Nonetheless, Betty VIM is one of
the few women in the United States
who has passed the Interstate Com
merce Commissions Bar eXamina-
ton, admitting her to private prac-
tice and qualifying her to represent
water, rail, motor and air carriers,
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The Cumberland flood was re-
sponsible for the whole thing. No
respecter of persons, the rampaging
waters washed away a successful
business that Miss VIM had estab-
lished in Cumberland. She was
promptly engaged by a group of that
city's business men to represent their
interests in recognizing a Hagers-
town concern. So Betty VIM came
to Hagerstown, total stranger, eX-
cept for a few business acquaint-
ances.
With the recognizing job complet-
ed, Miss VIM was asked by group
of Hagerstown motor carriers to
take notes for them at hearing be-
ing held in Hagerstown, by the In
terstate Commerce Commission, to
determine the status of the motor
carriers under the Motor Carrier
Act of 1885. She attended the hear
ings, determined, as always to learn
everything she could about the

Eggs should be cooked gently -
that is cooked at a low temperature
- and you will be rewarded by the
white being much more tender and
digestible. The expression, ut was

literally - it can be done under
favorable conditions. Eggs solidify
so readily that it is well to remem-
Der when cooking egg dishes, to
place them over a low fame, or in
a double boiler. Salt is supposed to
tougher eggs, therefore it is best,
when possible, to salt them after

them in an oven-proof dish. Make

hot oven, about $50 degrees, for
about 10 minutes. Season with salt

The local and national employ

large-scale layoffs at ingalls,
