Miss McPheeters
Guides Farm Market

On Saturday, December 9Th,
Miss Margaret McPheeters, Food
and Nutrition Specialist of the
University Of Maryland Extension
Service, judged the bread and
cakes at the Farm Women's CO.
operative Market to check up on
the quality. The request for this
help had come from Miss Pearl
NARROW, President of Farm Wom-
ems Cooperative Market. The
University has since the market
was first thought of, checked and
guided these women in their Ell
fort to maintain high quality
product for their patrons.
It has been a real challenge to
the market sellers to meet the
conditions Of rationing, the change
in brands of flour, baking powder
and other supplies which are bound
to affect tried and true recipe
Miss McPheeters gave definite
help on what to do when even she
found a problem in baking. She
knows the recipes used for many
were given these women 10 years
ago when she started to train
them on the making Of good cakes
and bread stuffs before the market
was opened 16 years ago this Feb
ruary.
The selleSs look forward to be-
ing judged on their baked goods
and are most cooperative in fol-
lowing out suggestions.

In case you do not understand
about the brandy-it is the name
of a $50 acre tract of land where
Mr.. Aud was born-now owned by
Raymond Snyder. In olden times
people used their imagination when

something, he says. When he was {
small boy his uncle showed him tn,
remains of the distillery which
gave their land its name. Peaci
brandy was its speciality, he wa;
told. He also recalls the ruins OF
the tavern, on the same land, which
served Edwards Ferry before the
Canal was built.
In 1917 Mr.. Aud was elected
sheriff of the county. He served as
Chief of Police from 1924 to 1926

Anna, the wife of George LaBlanc
was fatally injured in an auto &C.

Nowadays real estate men take
any old name-add Heights, Park
Village or Hills to it and they have
the name of a subdivision. Mr.. Aud
says he can as easily assess Umpty

Bower, but thinks he would rather
live on the latter tract which is
near Potomac. On second thought
he said maybe now that he has
reached four score years and more
he might be more contented OH

Germantown.
Mr.. Aud explained, ITO comply
with the law, when a man filed a
land patent in the early days, he
had to give it name or the land
agent named it for him. You take

CuaranteedWage Gets New Boost
 By US. Experts
Economists See Basic Plan Helping Labor And
 Management

Washington (LPA) = A strong case for negotiation of guaran' teed wage plans has been made by the staff of economists who were charged by President Roosevelt in March, 1945 with preparing study of the working of such plans.
 The final report of the guaranteed wage study was received without the fanfare that marked its early days, and no government agency took the trouble even to call to the attention of the press that the Government Printing Office last week finally had available, for $2, the fact-packed volume, Guar anteed Wages.
 A GOOD IDEA
 While the study is the product oi impartial economists, there is no ques- ton that after careful research-il- c1uding examination of existing plans figuring whether industries could af- ford to guarantee wages on a scale that would give workers some degree of security, and weighing of proposals for legal ericouragements to guaran- teed wage plans-the economists think that the idea is a good one.
 ''In the l2-year period following l929,' the study starts out. ''invOl' untary idleness cost the American people $500 billion of real income That loss, if it had been prOduc' lively used, would have been sufG cient to build all the railroads in the country; to have substantially rebuilt the cities; and to have per mitted the replacement of all Obso lete and obsolescent equipment ir the entire country. But this was no done.

Five City Seats Won By Labor In Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS (FP)-An all out united labor political action cam paign paid off here when five labor backed aldermen were elected to the city council and control of the school board was wrested from reactionaries
 The labor slate was headed by Mayor Hubert Humphrey, who won an easy reelection despite strong Republican opposition. Flee. ton of five labor aldermanic can. didates gave the liberals l3-tO-13 split in the city council.
 The successful labOr-indorsed aldermen included three union members-Sylvester F. BIosky, a member of Local All, Intl. Bro. of Teamsters (AFL) Stanley Ander. son, a member of Local 386, Bro. of Painters (AFL), and George Todd, a member of Local 363, City Laborers Union (AFL). Two pro. gressives, Glen Wallace and Edgar T. Buckley, also won with labor backing.
 On the school board the reelection of Owen Cunningham, an AFL mem Der, and the election of Glenn Thomp- son gave the laborites 4 to 3 edge
 A proposed l per cent payroll tax to raised revenue for the schools was rejected by a 2 to vote. This was the only issue in the campaign on which there was not complete labor harmony. The AFL favored the tax and the CIO opposed it.

worker. Total unemployment, and the partial loss of incomes through re- duced hours of work, which affected millions of workers, also threatened the security of the other millions. The tragedy, suffering, and illustration which characterized the 12 years pro duced a deep-rooted demand for secur- ity, of which the guaranteed wage is becoming one of the most important expressions.
 BASED ON FACTS
 After a careful study of the en- ploy1nent experience of A establish ments representing diverse situations in variety of industries" over the five years 1937-1941, the study found these employers under various forms Of wage guarantee plans could have given workers over this time an aver age of 909o of full time, and at least 75% of full time earnings provided unemployment benefits were liberal lzed as proposed in the study.
 The economists agree that even widespread negotiation of the quar- anteed wage plans alone cannot in- sure prosperity and security, but they would serve ''until major measures to overcome an impend. ing collapse can be brought into operation"
 Guaranteed wage plans Twill aid in removing the dead hand of fear from labor-management relations and from the economy, permitting the lifting of those restraints on productivity which have long been characteristic of en- ployment insecurity" the study asserts.
 A SHARP TOOL
 llhe guarantee of wages is not a panacea, but tool, and a tool which becomes sharper, not dul1er, with wide and more intensive use," it goes on. And to suppose that any single tool be It the guaranteed wage, or public works, or any other device-can be- come m1lti-purpose instrument by which all the ills of the economy can be remedied can lead only to confusion and failure.

THE CLOSED SHOP

5-Union Shop: "The bill outlaws all closed shop agreements and per nits only an illusory union shop. Over 75 per cent of the Is million organized workers in America are em- ployed by homogeneous who have ne gotiated and signed union security agreements. These agreements, num- bering some 5000 will all have to be processed by a Board which has been deprived of its staff of experts and is already behind in its work to the extent of 5000 cases.
 Even today, with its smaller case load and large review staff, the Board takes about nine months to set tie elections and similar cases. Yet every one of the union security agree ments becomes illegal one year after the effective date of the bi1l-or when the agreement terminates if that is earlier.
 6eDestroys AFL's traditional non-partisan political policy, and forces organization for direct DO. itical action. ''The bill makes il impossible for a union office to issue information on the records of candidates for public office. It prohibits unions from spending funds or making contribution to political primaries, election cam paigns, causes or conventions.
 ssThe AFL has always centered it's efforts on economic progress and stayed away from power poll. tics on a group or class basis. By informing its members of the rec ords of political candidates and urging them to vote for labor's friends and punish its enemies, the AFL has supported those candi. dates of both existing political par. ties when they worked for labor's cause.''

1000 Delegates At Convention Of M usicians

DETROIT-(FP) = Over 1000 delegates are here for the annual con- vention of the American Federation of Musicians for a 6-day session. Principal policy issue will be tele- vision, he said, a new field where nothing is settled as yet.
 Intl. Pres. James C. PetrillO, in town for the executive board meet ing, said the union met with the broadcast chains year ago with out making any progress, partly because one chain is interested in color television and the other in black and white. He reminded a press conference that 18,OOO musi- clans were thrown out of work when canned music replaced actual
