FOR Legal Holiday Work
Not Fair That Force Has No Chance
To Celebrate With Other Employees;
Already Work Longer Hours Per Week

Headed by Sergt. Charles Peters
as spokesman, a delegation from
the Policemen's Association of the
county on Tuesday asked the Coun-
ty Council to grant additional an
nual leave for members of the
force who are compelled to work
on the seven legal holidays the
county observes during the year.
The extra days could be taken
while officers are working the mid
night to 8 am. shift, Sergt.
Peters said.
When Frederic P. Lee, president
of the council asked the sergeant
if he didn't think that would cut
down on police protection, he re-
piled, "We don't have enough pro-
lection now and this would just
spread it little thinner. Officer
Leslie B. Thompson who accompan-
led Sergt. Peters agreed that this
plan was workable and that no ad-
ditional policemen would have to
be employed. Both agreed that it
was mot fair for policeman to have

Glen Echo To
Have Sewers
Along Potomac

Commissioner Warren Browning
of the Washington Suburban SAM
tary Commission has announced
plans for the completion of sewers
in lower Montgomery County along
the Potomac River. He outlined the
Commissions program at the De-
cember meeting of the Glen Echo
Heights Citizens Association, Tues
day, DecemH Ter 20. A large, en-
thusiastic attendance was given
Mr.. Browning as he personally has
worked with the Sanitation Com
mittee of this association in its
project for public sewage facilities,
lack of which has presented a
health problem for years.
Mr.. Browning stated that the
Commission expects to let con-
tracts around June 1, 1850 Cor
construction of an interceptor sew
err along the Potomac from Brook
mont to Cabin John. Construction
would be completed by early fall
1850. By agreement with Federal
authorities the trunk line will be
located on the landward edge of
the, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
The section of the Canal will be
drained during construction.
The interceptor sewer will serve
several inland communities as we'll
as along the river itself. 1t will
eliminate the discharge of sewage
into creeks which has been one of
the main causes of pollution in
the Potomac River above Washing
ton.

FARM OUTLOOK

IL. The total farm income for
1850 should be less than that Of
1949, which means lower prices on
the average for wheat, corn, pork,
poultry, eggs and certain dairy
products. Farmers should diver
sify more in 1860, get out Of debt
and put their surplus money into
savings, in preparation for the
next crop failure.
IL. The supply of certain canned
vegetables and fruits Except cit
rus) should be greater during 1850
than at the same time during 1919.
The prices of these products should
fall off, barring some weather, iil-
sect or blight catastrophe.
10. Poultry and dairy products
will especially increase in volume
during 1850 with prices averaging
less than in 1949.
IA. Farmers will continue TO
work to hold present subsidies. It
is popular to criticise' the vast
amount Of crops which the Govern
ment owns or is making loans. an,,
but this surplus in storage may be
a great blessing when the next crop
failure or war comes.
TAXES
10. The Federal Budget will be-
increased during 1860 over that for
1919.
16. Overall Federal Taxes will
not be increased during 1850 and
there may even be some readjust-
ments to encourage venture capital.
Moreover, some Of the nuisance
taxes may be eliminated or re-
duced.
II. The long-term capital gains
tax Of 25% will remain unchanged.
IS. There will be many increases
in local and state taxes, and more
reaching for relief by SALES taxes
or other forms of raising needed
funds.
RETAIL TRADE
10. Goods on counters will be Of
better grade in 1860 than they were
in 1919. ~
20. Markdown sales will con-
tinue during 1850 as consumer
spending slackens due to a decline
in employment and other factors.
81. The dollar value Of all re-
tail sales in 1850 will be moder-
ately downward, and the unit
volume of retail sales will also be
less in 1850 than in 1949.
%. Less will be spent on new
building and equipment by stores
and factories during 1850.
FOREIGN TRADE
%. Our exports will be down
during 1850 and our imports win
be up during 1850, comparing
both with 1949. This will partly
be accounted for by the devalua-
ton of the English Pound and
other foreign currencies.
"a. Foreign credits will continue
TO be granted during 1850, but
some of these will be direct by
American business firms and i'm
vestors. II our Government will
get foreign governments TO agree
that such investments will be ex-
empt from any new tax or other
legislation by the foreign country
in which the investments are made,
considerable progress would be
noticeable along foreign trade
channels.
25. American interests will have
more competition from foreign
producers Of raw materials and Of
manufactured goods during 1850
than they had during 1949. This
will benefit some American CON
Germs, but be harmful 10 others.
20. Fear Of war with Russia
will continue during 1850. World
War III will come sometime; but
IL will not start during 1850. Those
in large vulnerable cities should
use these years Of peace TO get
some small farm or country home
to which they can go in case Of
war. Such places will be almost

cause to say Constantine Brown
that it was denied to 1t would
imply denial by q power superior

One of the significant develop

been the growing attention that
thinking and feeling men are pay

One man, deep believer in that

an address before the American

in which he stated that 1t would
be fitting If a custom sprang up
for a daily one-minute prayer for
peace in every town and city in
the country.
The idea, as Mr.. L'Heureux
presented It, was that all traffic.
industry and other activities
should cease for just one minute
at noon each day. Simultaneous
ly every man, woman and child
would offer a prayer to God to
grant the world lasting peace.
The plan received immediate
acceptance by the Manchester
