There Is no odor, and above All,
no danger of long sleeves catching

reach back and forth over my cleo

And the cleanliness Of the elec-

greatest arguments in favor Of 1t.
It seems to me that I was forever
at work on my old gas stove, soak
ing the parts in ammonia and soap
for hours on end or scrubbing the
entire stove every week. With the
electric stove, q mere quick wipe
around of each unit a day does the
trick, together with a hasty empty

am overly prejudiced.
CHINA FOR PAINTING.
(Frona Mrs. J. P. K, Boyds.)
In answer to M. H. T. of Seabrook,
Md, who wanted to know about
hand-painted china, I would say
that it is almost impossible to OBJ
tain the china which will stand
firing these days. I have painted a
great deal in the past, but have
found on inquiry that none of the
firms I formerly bought from In
Baltimore, Washington and Chicago
have any but a very few unwanted
pieces lett.
have a book which came with a
set bought from Thayer & Chandler
of Chicago several years ago, which
gives directions for china painting,
but I doubt very much that any
one could succeed in really turning
out anything worth firing without
first having personal instruction.
I have recently painted several
plates of milk china with oil paint
which look very nice and will not
rub off after they are thoroughly
dry. However, I would not advise
you to paint with oil paints any
thing under constant use. The ones
I painted with fruit are used simply
for decorative purposes. The firm of
w. A. Msurer Co., 316 Grand avenue,
Chicago, Ill, still has a few pieces
of china for hand-painting and
firing, and will send you their
catalogue on request.

The Community Chest cam
paign for 1948 will probably ex-
ceed the final results of the cam
paign a year ago, not including
the amount contributed by the
North Carolina Shipbuilding COM
pany, according to c.. M. Harring
ton, campaign chairman.
Latest figures on the amount
raised in the current campaign
totals $83,736.11, and records
show that the campaign last year
had raised $79, $4,000 at this time,
if the $35, 500 contributed by the
shipyard and w & J Sloan are
omitted.
Final results of the campaign
last year, compared with the pres
ent campaign to date show that
the railroad division has raised
over $1,000 more this year, the
advance gifts division is already
more than $500 ahead, and resi-
dental division almost $500
ahead.
Harrington urged all volunteer
workers to continue their solici-
tation until "every last prospect
has been seen" to exceed by as
much as possible e the $89,331. .85
raised a year ago. That is still
way short of the goal of $119,-
996 which represents the mini
mum needs of our twelve Red
Feather services, he said.
Three Red Feather awards
were announced by Harrington.
They are to the employees of
firms in the employee divisions
for reaching or exceeding their
goals.

award went to Smith-Douglas

GREAT NORTHERN OFFICIAL
WARNS AUTO DRIVERS

Icy and snowy highways are an
extra reason for motor vehicle
driver caution in approaching rail-
way grade crossings, T. F. Dixon,
Great Northern Railway operating
vice president, warns in seeking
motorist cooperation in averting ac-
cidents.
Dixon said that a large number
of automobiles and trucks have
skidded into trains in the past few
weeks. In most cases, he added,
trains were standing still at or near
stations when these mishaps oc-

THE safest approach to a grade
crossing when roads are icy is in

the lower gears motor vehicles are
easier to control. Extreme caution
by drivers in approaching grade
crossings, particularly during the

ceived thus far from those who have
filed Maryland retail sales tax re-
turns for the month of July.
Returns continue to come in from
various sections of the State cover
ing the sales tax for July, but due to
the fact that many merchants did
not receive their copy of the month
ly form until after August 1,they
are late in forwarding collections.
Because of the diverse character
of the business of those holding Ii
censes, it is impossible to place any
average on the amount to be re-
ceived per return, and thus predict
with any accuracy the final total
which will be collected
Several thousand returns will be
received without any collections be-
cause licenses are used in many in
stances for the sole purpose of issu-
ing resale certificates"

And talking about the Chamber
of Commerce, / attended luncheon
meeting of the board of directors on
Monday, which turned out to be just
about the best meeting any Cham
Der Board has had in many a year.
In addition to the board members
and representatives of the press,
there were representative of the
Retailers Bureau and Manufactur-
ers Bureau on hand also, and the
meeting developed into frank and
open discussion, out of which will
undoubtedly come bigger and
stronger chamber.
Out of the discussion, which lasted
for more than two hours, developed
the following projects for the cham
Der to get its teeth into:
The Chamber will undertake an
intensive new member drive in
September, under the craftsmanship
of Fred c. Wright, Jr., who will
work with a committee of younger
members of the chamber, and their
objective will be to not only in
crease the membership of the cham
Der, but to draw into the member
ship the younger business men of
the community. The drive will be
preceded by a general membership
dinner, at which the accomplish
ments of the chamber in the past,
and its detectives for the future, will
be openly discussed.
The second project is the immed-
late naming of a special committee
who. in conjunction with commit
tee from the Junior Chamber of
Commerce, will wait upon Mayor
Sweeney and offer their services in
the obtaining of representative citi-
zens of Hagerstown to serve on a
Hagerstown Charter Revision Com
mittee, as outlined in legislature
passed at the last session of the
State Legislature.
The Mayor, in a recent published
statement, said that he wanted to
appoint the committee, but had eX-
perienced difficulty in getting the
right kind of men to serve on it. 1t
was the unanimous opinion of those
present at Mondays meeting, that
the right kind of citizens could, and
should, be found-and found immed-

Rent Control Office Booster Night At
Here To Close Soon Stadium Tomorrow

A 20 per cent region-wide reduc-
ton in personnel, effective Septem-
Der Is, was announced today by
Pet H. Hofstra, Regional Admin
istrator of the Federal Office of
Rent Control. One of the offices to
be closed is the Hagerstown Area
Rent Office, now located at IA West
Washington Street.
Let me emphasize" Mr. Hofstra
said, chat the closing of the Ha-
gerstown Area Rent Office will not
mean the end of rent control in
Washington, Allegany or Frederick
Counties. The Housing and Rent
Act of 1947 will be just as effective
10 it has been and will continue to
be until February 20, 1913. In ac-
cordance with that Act, federal rent
control will then cease"
Mr.. Hofstra added that between
September Is and February 20, 1--WE
plan to maintain in HagerstoWn a
rent station to facilitate the inter
change of information to and from
the public and for necessary field
work"
Mr.. Hofstra announced that the
administration of rent control for
the Hagerstown area will, after
September first, be handled by the
Baltimore office under Walter R.
Heath, area rent director.
CAS- far as the public is concerned
the only change asked of them is
that now they direct all petitions,
complaints, and other written mat
ter as they may wish to bring to the
attention of the rent control office,
to 400 East Lombard Street, Balti-
more 2, Md, instead of IA West
