Annapolis-On the first Monday
of May, 1913, the citizens of Anne
Arundel County will cast their bal
lots by pressing the levers of vot-
ing machines. Recommended by
the Board of Election Supervisors
and recently approved by the Coun-
ty Commissioners, 65 voting ma
chimes have been purchased at a
total cost of SIS, 427.93, to be paid
in five equal an2ua! installr:ents.
Reducing the polling places in the
county from 49 to 10, it is estimat-
ed that the county can save $4,000
annually or more than enough to
make the payments on the voting
machines. The purchase of the ma
chimes should be termed good
business" on the part Of the county
officials.

Suburban Hospital
Faces Great Deficit

Unless action is taken by TIL
County Commissioners, Suburban
Hospital will have another stag
gering deficit at the end of its ifs.
cal year, according to Hospital au
thorities. When the Montgomery
County budget is given public
hearing on June 10, the sum of
$4,000 for disqualification under
the Board CT Public Welfare will
be submitted. This is $4,000 less
than allowed for 1851, in spite
81 the fact that Suburban has
thrice asked for an increase for the
County for tax-eligible patients
and thrice has been, in effect,
ignored.
Suburban, receiving now 81 a
day for its County patients, must
pay out of it's own funds over $3.50
per patient to meet the cost Of
more than $11.50 which each Coun-
ty. patent costs per day. During
the last three years the charity pa
tients lave cost Suburban at least
$4,000.

Montgomery County AT a re-
cent meeting of the County Real
Estate Board, Brooke Johns, presi-
dent of the Montgomery County
Board of County Commissioners,
asserted that he, personally, felt
that legalized G gambling would
serve to reduce taxes and eliminate
the bookie and numbers rackets
that flourish in the county. He sug-
gested a race track at the site Of
the Rockville Fair and two lotter-
les each year. Along the same lines,
a bill, authorizing a national lot
terry, will soon be introduced in
Congress by Representative Adolph
j. SABBATH, of Illinois.

Nazi Secret Documents

Sale of secret Nazi wartime

Department gross revenue of
$1,500,000, and the amount is still

of Technical Services. More than
100000 copies of scientific docu-

manship and diversity of mater
rails makes TO ra better selec-
ton.
Efird was particularly pleased
with the toy situation. Plenty of
wagons, tricycles, trains, doll
buggies, and pre-war dolls are
in stock, he asserted. Wartime
wooden toys have been re-
placed with metal toys ne said.
Since in some lines, recorders
cannot arrive before Christmas,
however, Efird advised Christ
mas shoppers to take advan-
tage of the complete selections
early in the holiday season.
Ladies' and mems. apparel is
arriving in good quality and
quantity at the j. G. Penney
company, Emory H. Souther-
land, manager, said today.
Items such as mems shirts have
recently become more plentiful
and the price of both ladies'
and mems clothing is not out Of
line, he added.
The return of metal toys and
pre-war dolls is a feature of the
toy situation, he said. Doll hug
gies and other wheel goods are
available in lesser quantity than
other toys but the situation is
greatly improved over that of a
year ago, he contended.
Nylon hose, rayon indies,
large wheel goods, and some
toys are items that, should be
purchased early while selections
are complete, Switzerland adj
vised. There are plenty of
plastic purses, novelty items,
leather goods, and shoes, he de-
clared.
An ample supply Of shoes is
on hand today, Leroy C..
Robertson, of the Robertson
Freeman Shoe company stated.
The price since a year ago has
been slowly hiked a little at a
time because of wholesale price
increases ranging from 10 to Is
per cent, he explained.
Shoes which were not to be
had at all a year ago are now
available for men, women, and
children, he pointed out. AL
though further price increases
are in the offing for spring
shoes, the present stock of
shoes will be sold at current
price levels according to the
wholesale price which was paid
for them, he treasured.
Because expert shoemakers
have returned, to the factories
from their wartime duties, the
quality of shoes now on the
market is vastly superior to the
shoes made during wartime, he
said.
In cooperation with the Christ
mas shoppers who desire to
take advantage of the complete
selections now available and
pay for their merchandise later
most Wilmington merchants
have lay-away plans in opera
ton through which a customer
can make a small down pay
ment and have his selection laid
aside, paying the balance when
he picks up the purchase before
Christmas,
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-11-13

pointed out. AS a result of these
factors he estimates the
average fur coat purchase to-
day is a Is to 80 per cent better
value than could be found on
the market a year ago.
Merchandise OF better quality
and availability of wanted items
is the big news in Jewelry, ac-
cording to Robert T. Burman,
manager of the Jewel Box. Sill
verware is now available in
new patterns, he cited, along
with ladies' and mems luggage
which was scarce to non-exist-
ent a year ago. The prices, he
said, were not out of line with
the general market advance,
even in the case of formerly
scarce items.
Metal watch bands, Rorsen
lighters, electric percolators,
camera, and electric razors,
all of which were missing from
the shelves a year ago, are
back again in good quantity and
quality, he said. Watches of the
desired ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS makes
are back in good quantity, Bur-
man added, and radioes are
available at a reasonable price.
diamonds are now priced
more in line with the general
price index than at any time
in the past several years." Bur-
man said.
A plentiful selection of neck
wear, mufflers, hosiery, and
mems accessories awaits the
Christmas shopper this year.
according to Lewis J. Stein. Al
though prices of mems clothing
have increased somewhat, the
increase in quality of fabrics
and workmanship make the fin
ished product a better value, he
stated.
He was particularly pleased
over the availability of hosiery
which was very scarce a year
ago. Other items formerly
scarce, such as mems under
wear, pajamas, and belts, are
now plentiful, Stein said. Only
nationally known brands of
white shirts, dress suits, tuxe-
does, and dress accessories are
still scarce in mems clothing,
Stein said.
Bicycles are available at the
same price as a year ago but
the supply of the larger wheel
goods is not too plentiful and
is hard to replace, according
to John Anderson. Some tri-
cycles are available in good
quantity but others are scarce,
he revealed. His turn has found
it necessary to add to their
stock of bicycles by assembling
them from parts, Anderson
said.
"Bicycles will be scarce if
any at all are available by
Christmas time" Anderson
said. "Bicycles sold cannot be
replace at present. My advice
is that wheel goods should be
purchased early"
Comparatively few items are
currently scarce with an un-
limited stock of merchandise
available in all departments,
iC. l.. Efird commented. He

where price increases have been
absorbed by the manufacturer
and retailer, the customer can
purchase bargains undreamed
of a year ago, he said:
Fur coats for ladies are
among the lines he listed as dis
tinctly better buys than a year
ago. A drop in the price of furs
in the skin market has enabled
furriers to manufacture fur gar
ments at a lower cost than was
possible a year ago.
Furs formerly scarce or nom
existent have become available
again, and expert craftsmen

 Neither of our drug stores has humorous CD signs as MT Buehwach says, but we recog- nize the signs quoted-and they aren't typical of Kodiak, just typical of Knudsen's fountain, where they are displayed.
 And since MT. Buchwach seems to enjoy MT. Knudsen's wit, perhaps he'll enjoy this.
