Arlington Board Give,
Business 10 Clique,
Oscar Smith Charges

T. Oscar Smith, a candidate for
the Arlington County Board, today
charged the board regularly ap-
proves payment, of large sums OF
money to business establishments
which are owned by officers OF the
county or in which the officers have
some personal interest"
Mr.. Smith, who will run in the
nonpartisan board race in Novem-
ber, declared action by the board
shows favoritism to businesses
which have an entree to the clique.
II consider this practice to be
repugnant to good, sound, honest
government" the candidate said.
The board minutes, Mr.. Smith
said. show that for one six-month
period the county paid over $4,000
to a business owned or controlled
by a county official, while other
similar businesses received very
small payments"
Releases 10-Point Platform.
In connection with the release OF
10-point campaign platform, Mr.
Smith also criticized the board in
connection with the County Public
Utilities Commission proposed in
vetsigation of the gas rates.
He said the board authorized the
PUG to investigate and seek a
reduction in the high gas rates. but
has failed to appropriate funds to
allow the PUG to carry on the
probe.
In the meantime" he charged,
Arlington County citizens are pay
ing one of the highest gas rates
in the country-thousands of dollars
per year above the average rate"
Harry K. Green, who seeks re-
nomination in the Democratic
primary as Arlington commissioner
of revenue, today released a letter
by C. H. Morrissett, Virginia tax
commissioner, stating Mr.. Green
has demonstrated that he has
sound judgment, genuine ability and
unusual energy = ="

MIR. Green said today that mo
doubt his opponent, James E. Rice,
IT,, or some of his cohorts, will yell

sett nor myself has ever been con-
troHeed by any machine and SO far

Eleven candidates who will run in
the August Democratic primary
yesterday spoke at luncheon meet

They were Charles r. Fenwick and

BY THE PHYSICIANS FORUM

One of the m st dramatic
things to emerge from the Senate
subcommittee hearings on national
health bills has been the increas-
ing determination of the people to
resist monopoly control by the
American Medical Association,
which Sen. Robert A. Taft tR., o.
would strengthen by his phony
charity health measure.
Sec.-Treas. Edward Weyler of
the Kentucky State Federation of

mittee an amazing story of the
monopoly powers of medical Soc

Spruce up the living room
to bonish the doIdrums
BY 10 LYNNE

Spring cleaning may be sup
posed to last you till fall-but of
course, it doesn't.
So take advantage of the first
cool day that surprises you to
take the living room out of its
midsummer doldrums. 1t means
getting out the soap chips, the
mop and the iron, but it's worth
it. Not only will slipcovers and
curtains look better, but they'll
last longer if they get dunked
early and often.
First step in washing slip
covers and draperies is TO go
over them with vacuum clean
er attachment or whisk broom
to get rid of every speck of
dust that you can. Then rinse
them quickly in clear. almost
cold water to keep the dirt from
setting. A quick douse in luke
warm suds-not more than four
minutes if you have a washing
machine-and at least three
rinses. and you're set.
y
Follow the same principle with
curtains. Shake out all the dust
you can before you toss them in
the tub. For all curtains but
white cotton use cool, cool water
and rinse well. Never soak clothes
more than 20 minutes if you don't
want dirt to set in the opened fl
berS.
Now for pressing. Slipcovers
should usually be ironed when
damp dry. First, tackle corded
seams and then go 1engthwise
along seams. Next, iron flounces,
seat, back and arms on the wrong
side and then press all over again
on the right side. Always GO
around fastenings such as buttons
snaps or zippers (the same holds
true when ironing clothes) to pre-
vent damage both to the fabric

Nip polio
Here's how:

Although it is not possible to
predict the amount of polio which
will strike Chicago this year, and
there are no grounds for expect
ing an epidemic, nevertheless,
polio will occur, and every pos
sible precaution must be taken.
There are methods for attempt
ing to prevent the disease and
check its spread and even though
there is no positive assurance that
they will work, it is the duty of
every community and individual
to omit no possible step.
+
HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO
to push the community into ac-
ton:
See to it that your union, church,
Parent-Teachers' association, Pro-
gressive Citizens group, or any
organization to which you belong,
puts pressure on the Board of
Health to do these things:
l. Project wafer supplies.
2. Ensure sanitary sewage and
garbage disposal.
3. Eliminate fly breeding
areas.
4. Improve food handling
practices.
5. See to il that pasteurixed
milk is available to all.
=
HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO
on an individual plane:
/. Call doctor upon appear
ance of any of the following
symptoms: Headache. nausea.
a cold, upset stomach. muscle
soreness or unexplained fever.
2. Avoid possible contacts.
Try not TO mingle with crowds.

posed ANA domination and called
for passage of S. 1920, the Nat
ional Health Insurance and Public
Health Act.
But perhaps the most signi-
ficant statements at the hearings
were those made by the repre-
sentatives of the National
Grange. Unlike the Farmers
Union. which has consistently
supported national health in
surance the Grange has usually
tended TO go along with the
ANA in health matters.
AT the Senate hearings, how
ever, the Grange came out in clear
opposition to domination by the
American Medical Association.
They criticized the Taft bill be-
cause sit placed too much control
in the hands of the medical pro-
fession. We feel that any prepay
ment should primarily be con-
trolled by consumers or patients.
This opposition by farmers to
the monopoly control which the
phony Taft health bill would
give the ANA should impel
labor to work even more closely

Easy measuring hints:

Measuring cups need less wash
ing if you measure dry ingredi-
ents before measuring liquids.
Flour packs down as it stands,
so be sure to sift it with the ex-
ception of whole-wheat or rye
flour just before you measure it
To save spilling, sift the flour
onto square of paper, then
spoon it lightly into the measur-
ing cup. Don't joggle the cup as
you level it off with your knife
or spatula-it will just pack the
flour down again if you do.
