Iced Tea Recipe
Saves on Supply

Does hot weather make a dent in
your supply of tea? If so, an eco
nomical iced-tea recipe furnished
by Reva Lincoln, extension nutri-
ton specialist, will help stretch
those tea leaves.
In making iced tea, use the same
amount of tea leaves-a teaspoon
or a bag to a cup-as you would
for hot tea, but use only one-fourth
of the quantity of boiling water.
Steep the leaves for S minutes,
then pour the concentrate into a
pitcher and add the other three
fourths portion of water straight
from the faucet. Serve in ice-filled
glasses with lemon or mint leaves.
It's as simple as that!
The advantage of this method of
iced tea making is that it takes
less time since the smaller amount
of water comes to a boil more
quickly. tt uses less tea because it
is not brewed double strength.

Well Folks:
Another week has rolled around
and nothing done yet. Well, not ex-
actly The city of Phoenix has final
ly got around to putting a signal
light on our corner, East jefferson
at 10th st.
Aside from the fact that the light
will probably save some ones life F.;
now, you folks will have a chance
to really look us over when you
stop for the traffic light.
We have pulled that old porch
off the south front of our building
and put in a new section of win
dows i'm the liquor stOre-not fin
ished as yet-but we believe that
it will look 1909 better when it is.
Come around and give us your
opinions.
What are we going to do with
this restaurant of ours? So far no
one has offered to take it over. I
would much prefer to have some
COlOred person operating it but If
I am unable to find that person
among the Colored people in PhOe-
nix I'll have to turn it over to some
one else, or operate it myself and
I don't care to do either. I have my
hands full as it is, operating ARR

Plan 10 End Railway
For New Highway Hit
BY the Assoeiofed Press

BALTIMORE, Jan. 2.-Opposition
to the proposed abandonment OF
the Baltimore & Annapolis Railway
to make way for an express highway
over part of the roadbed was voiced
yesterday by Curtis Bradf1eld, traffic
specialist and Coast Guard engineer,
who termed the move extremely
shortsighted."
"An expressway routed over the
Baltimore & Annapolis Railway
right-of-way," he said, &c" will
automatically force the substitution
of buses and private cars for one
of our very few flxed-wheel rapid
transit facilities and as a conse-
quence add still more to the de-
plorable congestion in the central
district.
mo one can say this line is un-
important. We have all seen how
these satellite Communicates
Burnie, Linthicum Heights, and SC
on-have doubled and tripled in size
and continued to swell rapidly"
City officials of Annapolis are in
favor of maintaining the railroads
service. The plan is under study by
the Baltimore City Council.

Rites for Good Neighbor'
To Be Held in Anne Arundel
By the Assoeiofed Press

WINCHESTER, Md, Jan. q
Residents of this area of Anne
Arundel County prepared to turn
out in force today for the funeral
of Walter r. Moon, their good
neighbor.
Mr.. Moon, 70, died Wednesday al
his home after a long illness.
In 1889 he turned down a good
offer to sell a part of his land facing
the Ritchie highway for filling
station because his neighbors OBJ
jected to the idea.
When ruts formed in the Win
chester road, he repaired them at
his own expense.
He granted a right-of-way across
his land so that his neighbors might
receive electricity. This meant some
stately trees on his estate had to be
cut down.
A successful merchant who oper-
ated shoe stores in Baltimore and
Washington and later a travelling
salesman for a shoe concern, he re-
tired to Winchester with his wife
about 20 years ago.
His widow is his only survivor.

Virginia Group 10 Seek
Flour Enrichment Law
BY the Assoeiofed Press

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 2.-The
campaign for legislation to require
enrichment of flour in Virginia is
being reopened and the issue will
be placed before the 1948 General
Assembly, the State Nutrition Com
mittee announced today.
The committee, headed by DR.. A.
j. Carson Of the State Health De-
partment, listed Virginia, Florida
and Tennessee as the only Southern
States without laws requiring en-
richment Of flour with iron and
vitamin B.
It expressed a fear that this may
result in Virginia becoming a dump.
ing ground for poor grades of flour.
A move for an enrichment law,
committee members said, was de-
feated in 1916, largely by opposi-
ton from the dry milk industry
which contended enrichment might
cause reduction in the amount
Of milk used by bakers.
The nutrition group has asserted,
however, that no evidence Of such
reduction appears in States where
enrichment laws are In effect.
The committee estimated thu
needed ingredients can Se added

Nearby Virginia merchants, who
are opposing proposed 2 per cent
State sales tax, are supported by
the experience of suburban Mary
land businessmen who say the levy
would drive trade into Washington
Most businessmen in the metro
politan area of Maryland believe
they have lost substantial amount
of sales to enterprises in the Dis
trict since the gross receipts levy
was imposed in the Free State six
months ago. A few exceptions were
found, however.
Virginians today are going
through a build-up to first rate
controversy similar to that which
confronted Maryland residents q
year ago.
The Maryland levy was approved
at the legislative session which con-
vened last January and the Virginia
General Assembly, which meets
January IA, is scheduled to receive
commission report proposing the
II per cent sales tax, among other
revenue measures, to finance the
State school system.
Difference Is Cited.
There is this possible significant
difference in the situation confront
ing the Old Dominion today and
that formerly faced by Marylanders:
Gov. Lane went "all-out" to get
his sales tax program adopted in
the Free State but the Associated
Press has hinted broadly that Gov.
Tuck will not formally urge such a
plan for Virginia.
Animosity to a sales tax pro-
gram within the Washington shop
ping area resolves around the fact
that the District of Columbia has
no such levy.
There is a plan for Washington,
however, that would substitute a
sales tax for the present levy on in
comes. This was given impetus by
Court of Appeals opinion that
Government workers living here but
claiming legal residence elsewhere
are exempt from the local income
tax. .-- 30
iiSnbstitute Plan Urged.
The District Commissioners are
among those who have urged the
suhstit plan. Maryland. amer
chaits hope CongrEss will adopt
the PROPOSAL. The fears of nearby
Virginia merchants would be greatly
dissipated if they knew uniform
sales levy existed throughout this
shopping area.
Because of the problem now fac
ing Virginians, a survey was made
in the Bethesda and Silver Spring
business districts to obtain mer-
chants views of how the gross re-
ceipts tax has affected them.
There were some factors that
offset true comparison with con-
ditions last year-particularly in the
Silver Spring area where the closing
of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
underpass on Georgia avenue was
one of the main complaints be-
cause heavy traffic has been de-
toured around the shopping area for
several months. Also the main
shopping district street-Georgia
avenue-has been torn up for i'm
provements
Secrecy Assured.
Merchants questioned were told
their names would be kept in con-
fidence and they were asked fol

a1schurch Demand!
Early Completion IN
Of Street Widening

The town of Falls Church has
written a letter to the State High
way Commission demanding that
the contract for the widening and
paving of West Broad street, which
has been under way for the last
eight months, be completed immed-
lately.
The action of the Town Council
came this week. The council said
that the unfinished mile-and-a-half
of one of the towns main streets
is causing merchants to sustain
heavy losses.
The original contract awarded tc
the D. w. jackson Co. of Richmond
called for by September IS. It had
been extended from time to time
with the contractor paying a
penalty of $40 a day for non-com-
pletion, according to ]. H. Phillips
resident State highway engineer at
Fairfax.
Mr.. Phillips said the owner Of the
firm died about two months ago and
that since his death work on the
project had become very sporadic.
Mr.. Phillips said the bonding
company, the Seaboard Surety Co
of New York City, had asked 9
North Carolina contractor to assist
in finishing the job, but the seconc
firm declined to participate in tn,
contract.
The engineer declared the State
Highway Commission is very con.
cerned" about the slowness with
which the project has proceeded
but is "at loss to know what tt
do about it."
Several of the towns streets ar,
blocked off because of excavations
which are unfinished. Sections O,
the sidewalks have not been lais
and forms are still in place.
