mittee strikes us as too good not
TO pass on, hence we reprint it be-
low:
No other day is like December
%. No holiday can rival Christmas.
No date on the whole calendar
strikes such chords of happy mem
cries and cherished traditions
From the great event it celebrates.
from the spirit of good will and
generosity it eVokes, Christmas
CLOVIS with its own light and has
a warmth peculiarly its own. The
lights, the gay colors, the wreaths
and the decorations we affect on this
day, are only human responses to
the atmosphere this season creates
around itself.
In these restless times, when
nearly everything else is worn out
while still new, when nothing seems
to last but the desire for change,
It IS a perfect tribute to Christmas
that its customs endure.
The world shows how much
Christmas means to it when the
world, that so soon tires of every
thing else. will not tolerate the
slightest change in the customs of |
this season. And people, who for
get so many other things they should |
remember, at least need never be
reminded about Christmas tradi-
tons. The world will not change
Christmas because it loves these
customs too deeply. And the people
do not forget because each in
dividual has SO many happy mem
Ories associated with this day.
These are not necessarily, nor
often, memories of tangible things, II
of gifts received or given. They |
are memories of the ways human |

Enroll Now For
AAA Program"
Farmers Urged

Only 502 of the approximately
1,5O0 farmers of Montgomery
County have enrolled for the COM
ing years Triple-A program, ac-
cording to the local office which is
beaded by T. A. Barnsley, of
Olney.
Mr.. Barnsley urges farmers to
come into his Office in Rockville and
sign up before their busy season
begins. More than twice as many
Maryland farmers have enrolled
for the program as were signed up
on this date in 1947. This inforna-
ton comes from Joseph H. Bland
ford, Chairman of the States
PIMA Committee at College Park,
who reveals that 1851 farms
are now signed as compared to
only 5,055 at this time last year.
1t is important this year that
farmers be enrolled before the May
31st deadline. Last year the dead
line date was December 31st. The
State funds will not be allocated
to the counties until sign-up is
completed and it will then be based
on the number of farms actually
sgrceing to carry out conservation
practices. This year a farmer
merely lists those conservation
practices which he plans to use
during the year. Each county has
it's own handbook listing the prac-
tees for which assistance is avail
able.
This county has Lime, Super
Phosphate, Potash and Seeding
Crop Land to Orchard and Blue
Grass Pasture as the main prof.
ects.

PUG Sifts Testimony
In W. N. & A. Plea
For 15-Cent Fare

The Public Utilities Commission
has under advisement today the re-
quest OF the Washington, Marlboro
and Annapolis Motor Lines for a
fare boost to IS cents cash for 1ts
operations within the District.
The hearing in the District Build
ing was adjourned yesterday after
v. A. McElfresh, executive account
ant and auditor Of the PUG, recon-
mended that the busline be given a
fare boost to 13 cents cash and
three tokens for IS cents, the same
as that granted to the Capital
Transit Co. Present w. M. & A.
District rates are 10 cents cash or
three tokens for Is cents.
PUG members said a decision will
be handed down in about two weeks.
Mr.. McElfresh told PUG men,
bers 1t is desirable to preserve the
same token and cash rate for the
w. M. & A. line as Capital Transit
has to avoid confusion, especially
in view of the transfer arrange
ment between the two companies.
He said the 13-cent cash fare and
three tokens for IS cents would
bring the busline an estimated in
come of $212,440 in the next year
on the District operations and that
this would give them a return of
about 8 per cent. He said the
company showed loss of $4,734 on
all its operations for the IL months
ended June 80 and loss of $1,123
on its District lines.
Both Mr. McElfresh and Assistant
Corporation Counsel Lloyd B. Har-
rison maintained during the hear
ings that a 15-cent cash fare would
make Washington passengers pay a
disproportionate amount of the
company's overall cost of operation.

buses from Eleventh street and

Phone Wage Farley
Weighs Proposal for
.S1-to-S5 Increases

Contract discussions between the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. and unions representing $500
workers continued today, based on
wage increase offers of up to s5 a
week made by the company yester-
day.
Leaders of both unions said the
offers were not equal to the general
industry pattern and expressed hope
the company would revise them up
ward in subsequent negotiations.
The management offer was the
second since talks began Septem-
ber IS, and in some respects bet
tered by 81 q week the first C. 81 p
proposals.
Company Offers Listed.
Mrs. Mary E, Cannon, president
of Division SO, Communications
Workers of America, reported COM
pany offers to her groups as fol-
lows:
Two dollars a week more to oper-
ators making $43 or less, So for those
earning more than $43, 81 a week
for cafeteria workers, 50 week for
cooks, 81 and 50 for restroom at
tendants and 81 and SO for clerical
workers.
Mrs. Cannon said her principal
objection to the offers was that
some of the gains would be wiped
out by new interpretations Of the
automatic raise provision based on
seniority.
Raises From 81 to S..
Glenn E. Watts, president of Di-
vision SO, CWA, said the company's
offer to plant, accounting and COM
mercial employees amounted to about
9 cents an hour. While the union
has asked mo specific amount" the
goal generally Is placed at II cents
an hour, considered the present in
dustry pattern.
His group Of workers was offered
these wage increases: Those making
less than $50 a week 81; from $50
to $43 a week, 81; f.'om $44 to $50
week, So; from $61 to $73 a week
81; STA up, S..
Mr.. Watts said the increases were
not commensurate with the cost of
living trend.
