BY Ellen Hagedorn

My, but the house smells
good! Ellen Louise is baking
chocolate chip cookies and their
fragrant aroma fills every room.
One of her playmates came in
for a sample" and obviously
said: my mother won't let me
bake"
l wonder how often children
are disappointed by adults who
say: "You are too young, you
can't do this yet At least
give them a chance! 1t is sur
prising what children can do
when they think they can. Often
the desire and the ability go
hand in hand.
Certainly they make a mess
when they first start cooking!
Didn't you? Wasn't your
kitchen SHAMELESS when you
finished preparing your first
meal for your brand new hus-
band and didn't you ruefully
suck your burned fingers?
Teach your children to help
you at home. They quickly
learn to dust; they enjoy push
ing a vacuum cleaner about,
and best of all they take pride
in their ability to accomplish
given task. Overlook imperfec-
tons and give praise instead.
You will receive your reward
in more leisure time and in the
knowledge that you are training
young life to be self reliant.

gers letter, which reads as follows:
'But that's the way you newspaper
men are. You always cater to your
pets and fail to recognize man who

l think that paragraph was not
only uncalled for, but in very bad
taste, and it's quite evident that Mr..
Burger doesn't know me very well,
because if he did he would know that
the one thing don't do is play fav-

Forty-eight boys from Washing

the HagerstoWn Boys Club, left in

The camp, at which some six hum
dred boys will enjoy a week of
camping during the four weeks it is
open, is sponsored and financed by
the sixteen lodges of the association,
who are jointly promoting the pro-
gram to provide outdoor camping,
IN suitable and healthful surround
ings for boys during the summer,
with emphasis placed on under
privileged youngsters, ranging in
age from eight to fourteen.
Joseph L. Chrisman, exalted ruler
of the Hagerstown Lodge of Elks, is
chief supervisor in charge of the
camp, and the following are the

Enjoy chuckle? Then glance
over Banking Rules" elsewhere on
this page.
As exclusively predicted in this
column last week, Potomac Street
was added to the four one-way
streets recommended by the Board
of Street Commissioners.
II should be distinctly understood,
however, that the new traffic rules,
which go into effect on Sunday, Aug
ust /, and which make Prospect
Street, part of Summit Avenue,
North Jonathan Street, and part of
Potomac Street, one-way streets, as
well as one block of Oak Hill Av-
enue, and reverses the present traf-
fic on Locust and Mulberry Streets,
are on a sixty-day trial basis only.
And l believe everyone should with
hold any criticism until the plan has
had fair trial.
While H. L. Mills, one of the
Board of Street Commissioners, pro-
tested the making of part of Po-
tomac Street one way south and
stated that he thought the Mayor
and Council should not sign the or
dinance until they had eliminated
this provision, Aaron Reecher, the
chairman of the Street Board, on the
other hand, told me that while he
personally didn't see the need of one
way streets, he was perfectly will
ing to give the plan of the Mayor
and Council trial for the sixty-day
period, and then if he found that it
improved the traffic situation in the
city, he would be all for it.
I'm very glad to hear that Judge
George Henderson, the Associate
Judge of the Fourth Judicial Circuit,
who was critically injured in an
automobile accident last May, is
definitely on the mend at the Wash
ington County Hospital, and | sin
cerely hope that he will soon be COM
pletely restored to health and able
to join his family in Cumberland.
just received letter from Mr..
L. C. Burger, who takes me to task
for failing to mention Jack Herane
in my story last week about those
who have been doing such fine job
in helping the younsters of the COM
munity-particularly the under
privileged.
MIR. Burger is absolutely right, and
l certainly slipped up badly when I
forgot to mention the grand job
Councilman Hellane is doing with
the knothole gang. But I would
like to point out to MIR. Burger that
! have not once, but many, many
times in my paper, praised Jack for
the grand job he is doing, the last
time being in connection with the
letter he wrote to the Hearts De-
sire" program, which resulted in the
knothole gang being given treat
by the sponsors.

to the last paragraph of Mr.. Bur-

reick Counties.
Preparations have been completed
and all is in readiness for the Farm
Tour to be held tomorrow friday.

hundreds of farmers from Maryland,
pennsylvania, West Virginia and Vir-
gina are expected to participate.

ficlals in charge have announced that
the tour will be held rain or shine.
because of the amount of equipment
which has been assembled and the
preparations which it has been necs-
sary to make.
The tour will gather at 9:30 a. M,
Daylight Time, ON the Herman
Stockslager farm just north of Ha-
gerstown on U. S. Route 60. At this
point the assembled farmers will
have the opportunity of seeing
equipment in operation which is
used in the drying, storing and pro-
cessing of grain.
Next on the program is the CIar-
ence Harshman farm just south of
Hagerstown on the new Frederick
road alternate U. S. 400 where at
l0:45 a. m. the group will see a
demonstration Of various types of
field harvesters and moving and en-
sling of hay by their accompanying
blowers.
Last stop on the tour is the Otis
King farm just souht of Frederick
on U. S. $40. At this farm the pro-
gram will be devoted to methods
and equipment used in the control
OF the. European corn borer and the
Japanese beetle.
The program arranged has been
based o nthe requests made by a
Farmers Committee elected last
winter. This committee represents
nine counties in the four state area.
In arranging the program every eff
fort has been made to have equip
ment demonstrated by farmer-own-
perpetrators. Where the equip
ment is not available and in use on
the farms where the demonstrations
are to take place it is being brought
IN to those locations by other far
mers.
In some instances equipment so
recently developed that is is not yet
in general farm use, is being brought
in from points as distant as Kansas
in order to acquaint farmers in this
area with the newest developments
in farm machinery.
The committee in charge of ar
engagements has announced that any
farmer is welcome to attend all or
any part Of the tour 1t has been
emphasized that the tour will have
to move on schedule. There is no
charge of any kind. Each person
desiring to attend the tour is sim
ply asked to provide or arrange for
his own transportation and lunch.
This tour is unique among farm
activities in that the program is
based on farmers requests, the
demonstrations are on actual work.

POTATO supplies probably will
be rather heavy in late May and
June. With part of the North Da-
kota stocks damaged by flood and
part of the Maine stocks being
moved to processing plants, old po-
tato supplies are cleaning up rapid

cumulated in storage, although
greater than last year, are less than
half the 1943-47 average; hence,
storage demand will continue active.
POULTRY prices usually begin to
work lower in late spring and early

probable this year, prices probably
will continue relatively high be-
cause of the small hatch and con-
tinued strong consumer demand.

Stocks in all locations on April l
were 169, 900, 900 bushels over a year
ago. They will permit a carryover

the export program for the crop

600 bushels as wheat or flour. By
the end of the first week in May,
less than 25,O 900 bushels of this

FLAxSEED prices probably will

are planning an increased acreage

SEED dealers report a highly sat-

the leading hay and forage seeds.
Stocks of clovers, lespedeza, blue

and stocks of northern alfalfa seed
are expected to be small by the end
of the planting season. Many fall
