LETTER Box
903 Wade Avenue,
Rockville, Md,
Moroh 90 1QAQ

Mrs. Elsie White Haines,
Editor, The Sentinel,
Rockville, Md,
Dear Mrs. Haines:
Assuming we agree that recre-
alton program is important, how
shall We finance it-for the money
must come in some way from the
people? The Sentinel suggests that
tax support is undesirable, and
asks, "Why not follow the proce-
dure used in 1948?"
From my standpoint, as one ac-
quainted with the 1948 procedure,
! there are three principal reasons.
To solicit businessmen and individ-
uals for the major support of the
recreation program is (D ineffi-
cient, (2) unfair, (3) undemo-
cratic. First, it is inefficient to
spend hundreds of thousands of
man-hours in ringing doorbells and
visiting merchants and speaking to
service organizations to raise one
to four thousand dollars. Conserv-
atively estimated 400 man-hours
were spent last year to raise
$1,477. That time expenditure was
worthwhile once to start the first
program, so that Rockville could
judge intelligently what recreation
program we want. Those solicitors,
mostly overworked parents and
teachers, accomplished the job by
sacrificing time which they could
not again afford. Recreation sup
port should be collected cheaply
and systematically, as other COM
munity needs are collected for.
Second, it is unfair to distribute
the support of the recreation pro-
gram by solicitation, because at
best coverage is spotty. Some peo-
pie are never solicited; the bust
nessman is an obvious target, and
is solicited repeatedly, at his store,
through his service organization,
and at home. The response to UNI
/ pressured solicitation depends on
| the donors heart more than his
ability to help.
! Third, it is undemocratic to sup
port a recreation program by So
licitation because some children
who have the least opportunity for
wholesome private recreation may
not participate because their par
ents are unable to help support the
program and unwilling to send
their children to privately
financed program to which they
cannot contribute their quota"
The low tax rate, used as
'sales point" in inducing adjacent
areas to come into Rockville, is
exactly like any other price tag-a
bargain only if the product meas
ures up. A belief that Rockville is
alert and will progressively raise
standards of community life keep
ing costs low for the services zoe
receive, is good reason for our
neighbors to join us.
Very truly yours,
ROBERT B. LADD.

gram, we are pleased to give 1t

Summer Vacationists To
Increase Farm Incomes

w. Sharp Fullerton. Master o.
the Pennsylvania State Grange,
recommends the project not only as
source of revenue, but points out
that the crying need of today is a
better understanding between the
various segments of our society,
and that he knows of no better way
to meet this need than to make it
possible for city folks to vacation
in a farm home.
1t is expected by Farm Vaca-
tions & Holidays, Inc, that several
hundred farms from Maine to Vir-
GINA will operate under the plan
this summer, providing accomrno-
dations for 10000 to $4,000 people,
and bringing a gross income OF
$350,000 or more into farm areas.

LEATHER GLOVES
ARE WASHABLE
Good news to women who
would love to own several pairs
Of fine leather gloves and
who wouldn't? -. is the fact
that all leather gloves tanned in
the United States are washable.
The chemicals used in chome
tanning in this country make it
possible to wash capeskin, pig
skin, chamois, doeskin, and even
mocha gloves.
The woman who knows the
proper method of caring for fine
leather can purchase enough
pairs of leather goods to fill
her wardrobe needs without wor.
rying about the expense of their
Upkeep by dry cleaning.
It is too late to wash leather
gloves If they have already been
dry cleaned. In cleaning, much
of the natural oil is removed,
leaves the gloves rather dry and
stiff.
However, If leather gloves
have never been dry cleaned,
they can be washed according
to these simple directions so
that they will turn out almost
like new. For best results, gloves
should not be allowed to get too
soiled before they are washed.
All gloves except doeskin
should be washed on the hands,
in lukewarm, soapy water. Doe
skin is washed in the hands,
like lingerie and hosiery. Like
lingerie, too, all gloves should
be rubbed gently.
RINSE WATER SHOULD =
HAVE A LITTLE SUBS
The rinse water should have
Just a little suds in it to help re-
store some of the natural oils to
the leather. .-...... 3.
After rinsing, the gloves are
rolled off the hands and placed
on a turkish towel. The water
can be pressed out, but the
gloves should never be squeezed
or twisted dry.
To keep the fingers from get
ting stuck together, blow into
the gloves. If convenient, tissue
paper should be stuffed into the
fingers.
Gloves should be dried away
from heat or sun. Before they
are completely dry, they should
be put on and shaped to the
hand. 49,.
Colored gloves may be washed
in this way as well as neutral
gloves. If they are made of first
quality leather, colored gloves
may become lighter after wash.
ing, but they will not streak.
Correct washing and care will
keep fine leather gloves looking
well. When gloves are put away,
separate light colors from dark
because perspiration from the
hands may cause the dark dyes
to fade onto the light gloves.
