FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Dec. 20
Fredericksburg veterans prepared
this week to campaign for the City
Councils approval Of two recreation
centers next year, at an initial cost
of 5000.
The council rejected a proposed
appropriation for that amount from
the 1948 budget. Members held that
the six-year period over which the
centers would be constructed would
commit future councils to sponsor
ship and would make for piece

The council also said that the
city is faced with the necessity of
a heavy new bond issue for schools
and municipal utilities and that ser
ious thought" should be given before
undertaking projects not essential.
Robert c. Moore, chairman of the
veteran-sponsored War Memorial
Recreation Committee, said the
group "has just begun to fight" to
gain council approval.

Lane Asks Governors
To Back i. ). Law on
Community Property
By the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. 20.-Gov.
Lane urged members of the South
ern Governors Conference today to
support Federal action that would
permit husbands and wives to di-
vide their income in figuring out
their Federal income tax.
In letters addressed to the Gov
ernorssMr. Lane said he opposed the
suggestion that Maryland become
one of the so-called community
property States where such a di-
vision is permitted.
He said 1t would be unWise for
the State ito scrap its well-estab-
lished concepts of property law to
gain what may we'll prove a transi-
tory economic advantage for one
group of its citizens"
The community property benefits
under the Federal income tax law, -
he wrote, are not panacea for
needed readjustment of taxation
fields at the National, State and
local level.
CuCI al OiSCus
"Inequities existing in the imposi-
ton of the Federal tax as between
community property and noncom-
munity-property States should be
corrected at the Federal rather than
the State level"
In analyzing the effect of State
community property legislation he
pointed out that all earnings or
property of a couple become an
equal" interest of each spouse while
the management "is entrusted to the
exclusive control of the husband y
When one spouse dies, or the
pair is divorced or separated, the
other receives in full possession half
of the total community assets. The
heirs or designees of dead spouse
receive the other half ito the abso-
lutte exclusion of the living spouse, .
Mr.. Lane declared.
Would Prevent Transfers.
He said further that no transfer
of property to lessen estate taxes
could be effected under community
property laws, as now is possible In
Maryland
Although the community prop
erty system affords relief in the
payment of Federal income taxes,
it is not a saving that accrues
equally to all. For instance, the
saving in community property States
is $38 or 4.8 per cent where net
income before exemption is $4,000.
Where the net income before exemp-
ton is $4,000, the savings amount
to 289 per cent or $2,622," he wrote
AS chairman Of the conference,
he urged the Governors to aid in
assuring the question is presented
for consideration at the next session
Of the Congress.

Is Airlines Connect
u. S. to so Nations
200 5000 Miles of Air Routes Have
Been Surveyed.

WASHINGTON. - United States
airlines have been authorized to fly
approximately 200, 900 miles of inter
national air routes radiating from 81
United States cities to every area
of the world, a survey showed.
Thirteen airlines hold franchises
for these routes, extending into
some 60 foreign countries and coloni-
al areas.
Now it is up to the state depart
ment to make operation of all these
routes possible by negotiating land
ing rights agreements. This already
has been done with most European
and Middle East countries. The
toughest jobs lie ahead in Asia and
Latin America.
From New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Washington, Chicago and
Detroit, three airlines-Pan Amer
lean, American Overseas and Trans
World-now fly the Atlantic.
American Airlines, Braniff Air
ways, Chicago and Southern Air
Lines, Eastern Air Lines, National
Airlines and Western Air Lines have
been awarded Latin American
routes in competition with Pan
American, which has obtained addi-
tional grants there.
In the same proceeding CAB
granted Colonial Airlines a route
from Washington and New York to
Bermuda.
United States cities affected by the
new Latin routes are FL Paso, San
Antonio, Fort Worth-Dallas, Houston,
Laredo, Brownsville, Corpus Christi,
New Orleans, Miami, Tampa, Wash
ington, New York, Los Angeles and
San Diego.
Trans-Paciic routes extend from
Seattle, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Chica-
go, New York, San Francisco and
Los Angeles.
Northwest Airlines will fly from
the first four across Canada and
Alaska to Japan, China and the Phil
ippines. At Shanghai it will connect
with TWAS east-bound route to form
a round-the-world service.
Pan American will fly from the
California cities, as before the war,
via Honolulu to the Orient, connect
ing with its eastbound in India, to
form another round-the-world serv-
ice. 1t also will fly to Australia.

washing Sweaters

A well kept sweater is a thing
of beauty for many years if it
is properly cared for. Wool
sweaters, particularly, have a
tendency to become shabby and
shrunken unless proper tech
nique is applied in cleaning
them.
Before washing, it is wise to
draw an outline of the garment
on a sheet of paper as a guide to
pulling the sweater to proper
proportions after washing.
Whip up some thick suds of
mild soap and water and dip the
sweater in them. Squeeze the
sweater gently in them, but do
not rub. Or, let the sweater, aft
er being dipped in suds, run
through the wringers of the
washing machine after every
time it is dipped in the suds. Re-
peat until the garment is clean
and bright.
Sweaters should be rinsed in at
least three lukewarm waters, as it
is very important to remove every
trace of soap. Here again, do not
rub the sweater, but squeeze
it gently in the water until only
clean water comes out. Extra
moisture may be squeezed out
by putting through the wringer.
Now shape the sweater to the
proper size over the form you
have made previously. Allow to
dry fiat to prevent sagging.

Womon,s World
Give Clothing Budget a Lift
By Reconditioning Woolens
Ry C,Ha Haley

WHEN you find that you have to
w replenish the wardrobe with
wooden garments of one kind or an
other, you'll notice that the clothing
budget takes a leap. It's wise to
space the buying of woolens for diff
ferent members of the family as
much as possible to keep this item
in tow.
l don't know how you feel about
it, but 1 know that many people,
including myself, feel it's a crime
to waste wooden material of any
kind. It's a fabric that wears eX-
tremely we'll; it washes and it dyes
very readily, and it can be recon-
ditioned and used in so many ways,
that no piece of wooden or knitted
goods or garments should be dis
carded until you are satisfied that
every possible use has been made
of it.
Wooden suits, coats, sweaters and
skirts which you have worn for
years are often discarded because
you and your friends are so familiar
with them that you feel they are too
old to use. Well, don't do it without
considering the possibilities of using
them in other ways first.
Sweaters of good wooden yarns
may first of all be dyed to give them
a fresh new appearance, and you'll
find that woolens dye very easily.
The same holds true of wooden
skirts, coats, suits, etc. There is no
need to rip them apart at the seams
unless alterations are necessary.
Boil Water Slowly,
Gently for WOOlens
The most important point to re-
member in the dyeing of woolens
is to keep the water just at the boil
ing point. If the fabric is faded and
spotty looking, it is best to remove
what color is left by one of the
commercial preparations for this
purpose or the dye will not take
evenly. Or, if you do not want to
remove the color, dye it black.
After the dye has been applied,
rinse in three clear, lukewarm wa
tiers so the garment will be nice and
fluffy. Also hang the garment prop
erly and straighten it out as much
as possible so there will be no hard
wrinkles to iron out.
Laurel outlook., 1947-01-15

After dyeing, wooden materials
must be pressed before they get a
chance to dry thoroughly. This
saves hard pressing. Lay a cloth
on the fabric, sponge, and then
press on the damp spots.
It's important never to press di-
rectly on the wool as this will
create a hard shine that is difficult
to remove. Always use a pressing
cloth, dampen it and press over it
to get a lovely finish on the goods.
When dyeing, use a vessel large
enough for the garment to be
moved around in comfortably. Keep
moving it so that some parts do not
acquire more dye than others.
Sweaters Need More
Dye than Other Things
Because sweaters are so very alb
sorbent, plan on giving them three
times as much coloring as ordinary
materials. Use the same method
as just described for dyeing wool
ems, and rinse in three lukewarm
waters afterwards.
Laurel outlook., 1947-01-15

It's easy to shape and handle
sweaters while they're still wet, so
lay them on a fiat surface and pull
gently back to their original shape.
An old cloth may be used by pat
ting it gently over the sweater to
absorb excess moisture. Allow the
