The weight of the bowling
ball should be more on the left
hand than on the right, since the
fingers of the righthand are in
the ball and putting undue
weight on the right hand would
tend to cause the grip eto be

Bump" Day Now
Army CartOOnist

For the past three months, T/5
James E, Day, Jr., of Gathers
burg, has been contributing a
weekly "Day-by-Day' cartoon to
the Lightning Bolt" official news
paper of the U. S. Constabulary.
A member of Troop A, 68th
Squadron, 9rd Constabulary Regi-
nent, stationed in Friedburg, Ger
many, Day gathers his ideas for
cartooning the life of an occupa-
tion soldier both from his own ex-
perienee and observation and from
the "gripes" of his fellow-troopers.
He first began drawing his car
toons of Constabulary troopers
while on night duty as desk SER
geant. Now assigned as an investi-
gator, he draws them during his
spare time.
Days career as cartoonist be-
gan early. His father, a World
War I veteran, who was a COM
mercial artist and free-lance news
paper cartoonist, taught the young
er Day much that he knows. His
mother also occasionally draws
cartoons. During three of his four
years at Gaithersburg High School,
he was staff cartoonist for the
'Blue and Gold" His first expert
ence in drawing Army cartoons
came when, aboard the "Eufalia
Victory" in June, 1945, he was
given the job of ships cartoonist
on the "Rail Call"
The 19-year-old cartoonist, who
entered the Army in March, 1945,
expects to return to the States
soon for discharge. He plans to
enter art school with a view to
making newspaper cartooning his
career.
James ("Bump") is the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. James E. Day, Sr.,
Of Summit avenue, Gaithersburg,

New Industry
For Rockville

The Chimney Furance Corp. is
a new industry which has come to
Rockville recently. 1t makes the
"Mortemp" furance, a force air,
oil burning, heating unit which is
actually constructed in the Chin
ney and which was designed by
Moritz L. Mueller, heating engi
neer with % years experience. AL
though this type of heating plant
is new to this area, about $500
of them have been installed, and
are operating successfully in Illi-
nois, Ohio, Michigan, the Pacific
Northwest and the Norfolk area.
The local factory is run by Mr..
Mueller's two veteran sons, John
H. and James L., both of whom
were heating engineers before they
entered the Navy and Marine Air
Corps respectively. Father and
sons are directors of the company
and Harry Baker of Rockville is
Athe local agent to handle installa-
lions.
The Muellers claim their heat
ing unit will cost at least $3.50
less than other average competi-
tive equipment, that it takes very
little space because of it's unique
construction in the chimney, that
it is safe, because the unit is sur
rounded by brick, and that it uses
a minimum amount of sheet metal,
and releases the heat at Dashboard
level.
