House and Garden
Pilgrimage Has
High Attendance

Reports filtering in from various
chairmen of the ~ counties repre-
sented in the 18th Annual Mary
land House and Garden Pilgrim
age show, beyond doubt, that at
tendance of the ten-day Pilgrim
age broke all previous records set
since the founding in 1886, of these
spring house and garden tours. Ad-
vance estimates point to total at
tendance of over 1900 as compared
with approximately 5000 last year
the highest previous attendance.
The largest rate of increase re-
ported so far was for the Howard
County tour on the opening day,
Friday, April 20, when approx
mately 275 persons visited Dougho-
regan Manor, Burleigh Manor, the
Old Rectory, and other Howard
County showplaces = as compared
with only 165 last spring.
This year, there were II differ
ent house and garden tours during
a period of ten days, extending
from April 29 through May 9. Dur
ing that time, more than 200 of
Maryland's finest homes were
opened to public gaze, some of
them dating back to the years i'm
mediately following the founding
of the state in 1884.
Weather conditions, aside from
several unusually warm days, were
favorable, and there was rain on
only one day and that was in Mont
gomery County.

At present many of the
workers at Lofstrand are
busy on a big production job
of fire extinguishers for the
Department of the Army. The
manufacturing contract for
$3.50 extinguishers at a cost
of $100,042 was let by the
Corps of Engineers Chicago
Procurement Office.
In 1914, during the War, Lof-
strands was the first firm in Mont
gomery County to get the Army
Navy E, awarded for efficiency in
production and accomplishments in
war efforts.
The principal product of Lof-
strand Company is the glass wash
err and sanitizer-used by our own
local Peoples Drug Store since the
store opened. The machine which
scrubs glasses inside and out,
rinses, sanitizes and dries is used
by innumerable chain restaurants,
drug stores, & 10c stores, as well
as hotels, fountains, colleges, clubs
everywhere there is eating and
dining = all over the country.
Clean, dry glasses are. turned out
at the rate of 1000 to 1000 per
hour without the glasses being
touched by human hands during
the process.
The name Lofstrand is probably
best known for the aluminium leg
brace assemblies and featherweight
clutches perfected by the company.
The braces, assembled from pre-
fabricated parts, were developed
as result of the Brace Research
Program conducted by the Office
of the Surgeon General at the
Army Medical Center, Washing
ton. Lightness, strength and physi-
illogical fit are only few out
standing features of the braces.
The lightweight clutches, Lof-
strands own invention, are de-
signed to give freedom and ease
and to relieve discomfort and
strain. The forearm rests in a
pivoting cradle at the top of the
crutch-hands grip rubber encased
metal handles, relieving all Shout
der strain. Hands may be freed to
open doors, light smokes and use
ratings in climbing stairs, or
whenever needed.
Besides work on the products
already mentioned, many of the
workers are busy on the Lofstrand
insecticide sprayer.

Quite few of the workers who
man the powerful, intricate ma
chinery at Lofstrand were trained
at the plant to do the specialized
work. According to Mr.. Lofstrand
there are openings for a number of
men on the second and third shifts
at the present time.
In visiting the factory it was
fascinating to watch the huge ma
chimes, some with tons of force be-
hind them, cut out large, heavy
pieces of metal to be used in some
of the jobs. 1t looked more simple
than cutting out paper dolls. 1t
was also interesting to see threads
cut into heavy metal parts with a
twist of the wrist. Many other
things were equally intriguing to
watch, but of too technical a ma
ture to describe. Mr.. Lofstrand
welcomes visitors to the shop at all
times.
Rockville needs more light indus
trial businesses such as that of
Lofstrands. The opening of a new
area along the proposed alternate
highway for which a survey is be-
ing made will offer opportunities.

NEW FREEZER CASE ANGLE |S
 BROUGHT OUT
Suspicious Flying Trip 10 Paris Revealed by
 Senator Mundt

WASHINGTON. Aug. 19-R--- Senator Mundt tR-SD) sought to- day to link flying trip to Paris in 1945 by three agents of a Chi cago perfume firm with the firms gifts of home freezers to Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan and his friends. '
 Mundt told reporters that the testimony given the Senate mvesti- gations Committee secretly Monday and made public yesterday, begins to disclose suspicion c. a motive of what is behind the gifts of deep freezers.
 He referred to freezers paid for by the Albert H. Verley Perfume Company which were sent to Mrs. Harry s. Truman, General Vaughan and four other administration offi- ,ials during the summer of l945 and the winter of 1945-46.
 Three representatives of the Ver- ley company made the Paris trip on an Army transport plane in July, 1945, at a time, Mundt said, When businessmen just couldn't get there.'
 Two of the central figures in the inquiry are Vaughan, President Truman's military aide, and John Maragon, Washington man-aeout- town who used to have free access to the White House.
 The testimony released by the committee yesterday, after Presi- dent Truman had accused it of withholding testimony favorable" to Vaughan while producing the unfavorable parts at public hear ings, threw new spotlight on the two men.
 Testimony by Harry Hoffman, Milwaukee advertising man who candles the Verley account, named Maragon as the man who arranged for the Army transport to carry Hoffman, Maragon and Emmett King, New York attorney to Paris on Verley business.
 The record shows that Mundt commented that someone had to exert colossal amount of influence in high circles" to wrangle such trip.
 Senator Mccarthy tR-Wis) said that Senate investigators are get ting information about the activ- ities of Maj Gen. Harry Vaughan from sources very close to the President"
 Mccarthy said the data also is coming from persons very close ito Vaughan in the White House
 Mccarthy declined to elaborate.
