ticle and gets it down to the lowest
figure in liras before arguing about
the rate of exchange.
Florence is still the center of a
flourishing business in leather goods
and world-famous mosaics. In We
nice the beautiful Venetian glass is
probably the largest business. Prices
are so high on Venetian lace that
few people buy. Prices on all goods
which tourists usually buy for
souvenirs and gifts for the folks
back home have doubled and tripled.
Even then the margin of profit is
not as much as before the war =. i.
vet the workers have less of every
thing.
An excellent rule for European
travellers is this: Don't buy any
thing you can't take with you
Venetian glass and antiques that
have to be packed in cases are very
expensive by the time you get them
home-if you get them. Transpor-
] tation of glass especially is prohibit
tive.

fighting team this season. There is
much hard work ahead of the coach

speed and deception operating from
the 'T".
Jimmie Parrish OF Canton, and
Buddy Walden of Sheffield will be
two Of the best backs n the ]. c..
conference this season. Other per-
formers showing considerable inn
provement include: T o m m y
Nix, Clayton Wood, Jo-
10 White, Perry Boyette,
Billy Cook and Arthur Land. The
center position is wide open and
three men are waging a good battle
for the starting assignment the 10th

record. Demand is expected to con-
tinue lear this years level.
EGG prices probably will round
the seasonal peak for the top grades
in the next month or six weeks. Me
dunn and small eggs are likely to
decline in this period, as their pro-
duction is already increasing. Farm
prices are likely to average nearly
as high in 1949 as in 1948, accord
ing to the u. S. department of agri-
culture.
POULTRY prices probably will be
steady to weak for the next month
or two. Offerings will be about the
heaviest of the season and supplies
of heavy meats also will increase.
Prices for chickens, broilers and tur-
keys are likely to average lower in
1949 than in 1913, with the largest
decrease in the latter part of the
year, the u. S. department of agri-
culture states. The number of chick
ems and turkeys raised probably will
be increased about Is percent next
year, so that total cash received may
be about the same as in 1913. Ow-
ing to lower feed costs, net returns
in 1949 may be better than this year.
POTATO prices probably will be
only steady to weak in the immedi-
ate future due to peak marketing
during harvest and to competition
from Canadian potatoes, which are
selling in eastern markets at less
than support prices.
BEAN producers are selling very
slowly at the low new crop prices,
which are below support levels in
some areas.
Holding in all cases for at least
the support prices appears advisable.
Government loans on 1948 crop
beans stored in approved ware
houses for which quality and guam
tity are guaranteed by the ware

WEYERHAEUSER 4-SQUARE
FARM BUILDING SERVICE

For many years the Weyerhaeuser
4-Square Farm Building Service
has featured time-tested arch-roof
built from glued, lam
mated wood rafter arches -. barns,
hog and poultry houses, corn cribs
and ~granaries, silos and machinery
sheds.
Arch-roof design in farm build
ings is the proved result of engi-
neering in lumber. When built of
wood, the arch-roof not only gives
farmers strong, durable buildings,
but it also provides buildings that
are free ofPosts and bracing. Thus,
all space is disable, and each build
ing is correctly engineered to with
stand hard winds and heavy snow
loads.
Your 4-SqUore Lumber Dealer
will gladly show you all the arch
roof designs in this Service. Blue
prints and detailed specifications
have been prepared for your use.

This week marks the end of the

an autumn chill in the air - the
leaves are beginning to color up,
and goldenrod to take on greyish
tinge.
1t is time to go hunting once

cubs are stealing out of coverts as
the new entry cock their puppy
ears for the early notes of the

Autumn makes one restless-we

Annual Fair At
Sandy Spring Judged
By Miss Turner

On Saturday the Homemakers
of the Sandy Spring Colored
School held their Annual Fair.
Miss Ethel Bianchi, Home Agent,
was in charge. For 16 years, with
the exception of last year, Miss
Turner has judged this exhibit.
Last year alone and for the past
four years Mrs. Hale Sehorn has
helped Miss Turner judge this
large and growing Community
Fair.
The walls of two school rooms
were lined with exhibits of dresses,
divided into two large classes,
better dresses and dresses made
from feed sacks. When there are
dozens of well made garments
showing good workmanship, you
know that the instructor and those
who made the dresses have a fine
sense Of good standards. Each year
the quality, both in material, de-
sign and workmanship has i'm
proved.
There must have been 1900 to
1000 jars of fruits and vegetables
to be judged. Every jar was pol
ished and cleaned beautifully-a
far step from the sticky, poorly
labeled jars that used to be brought
in years ago by few. Jellies were
particularly good this year.
The long table of baked products
also reflected high quality of skill.
This club always has good bread.
The cake was not as fine as in the
past due to over-beating, owing to
the fact many of the women have
electric mixers and have been over
beating their batter.
This club is to be congratulated
for the constant improvement in
the arrangement, the quality and
the number of exhibits.

its theme will be Annapolis of
yesterday and today" with ex-
hibits of photographs and scenes
depicting the towns early history;
also exhibits of facilities available
today in business, health, educa-
ton, recreation, ct cetera. 1t is
planned to convert Annapolis into
veritable historical museum
through window displays, which
will be prepared shortly before the
official opening of the celebration.

so we will hold the story until it is
checked.
In fairness to State Senator Roy
Tasco Davis, Jr., we say in answer
to an inquiry of show does he
come into the family?"-that he
makes no such claim. He was
merely asked to make an address
at the unwilling of a marker to the
memory of the first Thomas Davis.
He made it clear in that address
that there was no relationship.
A bright spot in a week when
everything seemed to go wrong,
was a subscription from a woman
who sent "her love" to all of the
staff of "the dear Montgomery
County Sentinel" Another was a
letter from Margaret Muncaster
Stabler (Mrs. Rowland), in which
she said the Sidelights about
Emory School brought nostalgia
memories.
Emory School had attached the
dignity of a vestibule = cloak
room-when she attended it few
years after we left for High
School-but they still used the old
water bucket and dipper. Courtney
Burdette taught the little one
room school in the days of the
youngest of the White children
and the older Muncasters. Court
ney, now Mrs. Wade, and still a
teacher, will probably blush wnen
it is recalled that she punished
naughty little girls and boys by
standing them against the black
board with their hands above their
heads and even at times used a
switch. 0 those good old daysl
We have filed Margaret's letter
to use in future story of the al
most forgotten one-room schools.
