Danny is competent enough

Miss Carmichael
Attends The Derby

Interviewed by a Globe-Indepen-

the Kentucky Derby, Miss Virginia
T. Carmichael, North Potomac

''The Kentucky Derby, though
similar to other races in many re-
spects, has a tradition all its own,
and the Kentucky Jockey Club even
has its own regulations that differ
in many respects from those at OF
her tracks. Although the field was
small due to the presence of the
Calumet Farm champions Citation
and Coaltown (who finished first
and second respectively the race
nevertheless was beautiful to watch.
"The track at Louisville is dis

the nation because of the historical
background of the Derby, and des-
pite the overcast sky, the colorful
flags, bands, etc, helped make a
gorgeous setting for the event. EX-

eve have been using leaders in
this way for fifteen years in Mary
land, and we're convinced that it's
the only way we could operate in
Washington County. For instance,
last February we had three-day
slip-cover school, and twenty-five
homemakers learned how to make
slip covers for their homes. Since
then, these leaders have held schools
in seven of their own communities,
and sixty-three other women have
learned from them-and that's only
the beginning"
Miss Martin, at the conclusion of
her talk, answered several questions

ed that it was obvious that the
Homemakers of Washington County,
Maryland, were making a real con-

there's the International Relations
project, which we think is quite in
teresting.
I'VE all get quite a kick out of our
discussion meetings, where we get
together to talk over world events
The group has discussed such things
as current problems in Palestine and
the work of the United Nations.
And then our homemakers exchange
letters with families in European
countries. We find out how they
live and what they think, and what
their problems are - and at the
same time, we tell them the same
things about ourselves. For the
past eighteen months, our homemak-
ers have been sending packages
abroad to help fill the gaps during
critical shortages. Right now, wom-
en- of our county are helping nine
teen different families in other ma

with nearly twenty-five hundred
farm families in Washington County,
and only two workers to cover the
work for both Homemaker and All

have special training schools for
representatives of the several clubs
and then they in turn go back and

Corner

The housewives of this city and

word in super markets. With the
recent opening of two new super
markets that in my estimation equals
any in the large cities, grocery shop
ping has been made much more con-
venient and comfortable. Now, if on
ly we could find some way to
bring prices back to normal, we
would indeed be a happier lot OF
homemakers.
Have you been watching the fight
for the elimination of olaomargarine
taxes? Here is one place that we
can all help to reduce the cost OF
living by helping to get this unfair
tax repealed. Right now, sit down
and write to Senator Willard E. Tyd-

have this bill repealed. Senator
O'Conor has already publicly stated
in the press that he is in favor OF
the repeal.
