Attractive Booths At
FairIand Community Fair

The Community Fair at Fair
land on October 8, was unique in
that there were no individual ex-
hibits-every organization oper-
ating in that area sponsoring
a booth showing what it contri-
butes to the community life there.
Miss Edythe M. Turner, Home
Demonstration Agent, and her as
sistant Miss Virginia McLuckie,
acted as judges at the fair.
The first award was given to
the PIT. A. booth, which showed the
purpose of the organization and
had but one theme, that of the well
fare of the child. 1t was a very
attractively decorated booth.
The second award went to the
Woman's Society of Christian Ser
vice of the Methodist Church, of
Falkland. This booth was done in
white, with a strip of royal blue
at the back of the booth, with the
white cross on it. IN the center
was the village church with white
ribbons stretched to the various
activities of the women's organi-
cation. There was a basket of
fruit to the sick, letters of condo
lence to those who grieve, a nursery
operated by the women to care
for the little children while the
parents are in church and pictures
of the foreign missions that WSCS
helps to support. Simplicity, and
the definite showing of how the
group works made this an out
standing booth.
The third booth was also put up

Montgomery
SideHghts
BIZ Elsie White Haines

We breathed sigh of relief this
week when that work of love Miss
Mona Thompson's little history
of Rockville, was completed to the
last binding. She has encountered
so many disappointments since she
finished writing it almost ten years
ago. While it lacks details of the
last ten years when the town and
county were growing up-it has
the nucleus everyone will adore
having for reference. There are
only limited number of copies
one-third of them have already
been ordered.
Here is a cute story we had in
our files about Miss Noma's mo-
Their:
When Miss Mona was a little
girl her mother, the widow of DR..
Benedict Thompson of Washington,
decided to go to Brookeville-which
had quite reputation as a SUM
mering place" in those days-with
her small children. Thru some
mistake she did not understand
that she was to take the stage from
Rockville to get to Brookeville and
when she told the conductor she
was going to Brookeville she was
let off at Rockville, went to a hotel
and not until the next day did she
know she was in the wrong town.
To make a long story short
"she came, she saw, she conquered"
for on December 8, 1863 she
married her second husband, DR..
Edward Anderson and passed the
rest of her life in Rockville.
Public officials when used on the
radio give publicity campaigns
"SMULCH" says Ernie Tanner,
that versatile star of radio station
WGAY, "and they are eager to be
seen land heard?) this year." he
added. The above spelling is
Stella Werner's-she has always
frankly said she cannot spell-so
a call to Ernie to find out if the
wacky work was one of his coin
age, disclosed the correct spelling
to be "Schmaltz" and darn it,
forgot to ask him just what it
means! Anyway, the word has
Schmaltz, don't you think?
Perhaps the seven members of
the County Council will come TO be-
lieve in signs before their term is
out. Councilmen and newsmen
had become used to seeing Alfred
H. Jennings of Takoma Park APP
pear with a sandwich board-but
we never expected to see E. Brooke
Lee appear carrying a sign. 1t
was county sign which said "No
Trespassing" which he brought in
to the Council meeting on Tuesday,
all wrapped up in paper. Fifty
more, he said, were on their way
back to Rockville by truck and
would be delivered On the court
house lawn. It's a long story so
read it on page one.
About Jennings-he first ap-
peared in April wearing sand
witch signs which read what right
has man to own property in
Montgomery County? Zoning laws
are undemocratic and should be
changed. We have lost our birth.
right-Wake up we people," He
has appeared several other times
with heckling messages-one pro
claimed that the biggest mistake
he ever made was when he voted
for charter!

Clean Clothing
Before Packing
Carefully Away

Care in packing away summer
buds will pay dividends next year
when warm weather returns,
points out Helen Shelby, extension
clothing specialist of the Univer-
sity of Maryland. Stains and soil,
easy to remove now, may be "set"
if left on clothing.
Store your garments where they
are protected from dust, rust, mois-
ture, mice, insect pests-and also
from unnecessary wrinkling and
crushing. Remove any pins or
metal ornaments which may leave
marks. For clothes that hang up
over the winter, she recommends
sturdy wooden or plastic hangers
instead of metal ones which might
leave rust marks.
Clothes worth keeping are worth
keeping in good condition.

Among The
Homemokers
Buffet Picnic Luncheon

The Potomac Valley Homemaker
Club members enjoyed a buffet pic
mic luncheon at the home of Mrs.
Nelson Bortz on October 3rd. Mrs.
Bortz and her co-hostess, Mrs.
Frank Fenton, had called the Home
Agent as to the type of demonstra-
ton she was going to give and pre-
pared the food that the Agent was
using in her demonstration 1t was
a good example of how easily and
readily picnic can be prepared
and organized for a large group.
Club Celebrates Birthday
Mrs. j. Malcom Smith and Mrs.
Earl Henderson entertained the
Potomac-Glen Homemaker Club at
luncheon meeting.
This club voted to take a Christ
mas Opportunity again this year
and appointed Mrs. William Robey
chairman. They are also sending a
Christmas box to their French
family in LIE Havre. The son of the
family they have been sending to
for the past four years is now on
an American-French boat that
comes to New York and everyone
hopes that some day they can con-
tact the boy directly because they
have been interested in his welfare
for so many years.
After the Agents demonstration,
Mrs. Ralph Beall, president, told
the club that she had a surprise
for them, it being the anniversary
of this club. She had prepared a
beautiful birthday cake for the
occasion and asked the Agent to
cut the cake while members of the
club were divided into groups and
each put on a skit. 1t is surprising
what can be done in five minutes in
putting on a simple attraction that
creates lot of laughs and fun.
Later the cake was served and a
vote of thanks given Mrs. Beall.
To Aid X-ray Clinic
Mrs. William Bogley, president
of the Laytonsville Homemaker
Club, was hostess to that club on
October 9Th. There was an excel
lent attendance.
The club took up the matter of
planning how to canvass their area
for the TB X-ray Clinic that is to
be there the latter part of the
month.
Mrs. Bogley, who is also presi-
dent of the Parent-Teachers' Asso-
citation in that area, asked her club
to supply cakes for the P-TA sup
per.
A great many members of the
club visited the rug exhibit in
Washington and were very enthusi-
astic about the display.
Mrs. j. w. Howes and Mrs. u.
Thomas Howes, co-hostesses with
Mrs. Bogley, served a super bread
pudding, with raisins and a tart
lemon sauce.
Another Club Is Sought
The Glenmont Homemaker Club
had an unusually fine attendance
when it met on the night of Octo-
Der 9Th at the home of Mrs. George
Auxier.
One of the new members of the
club asked if a club could be or
gained lin one of the new neigh
borhoods near Glenmont. The only
time left that the Agent could
possibly take on a new club would
be from 10 A. M. until IL noon.
First Luncheon Meeting
On Friday, October 7th, the
Falkland Homemaker Club met at
the home of Mrs. Jean Turpin. 1t
was the clubs first luncheon meet
ing. The inclement weather kept
them from holding it out of doors
around the fireplace. The final de-
tails for the part this club was to
play at the Four Corners Exhibit
the next day were discussed. Plans
were outlined for helping in the

The fact that the laws for COM

CREDIT SYSTEM E EXPANDING, MANY
 PARTS OF NATION
(By Associated Press)

Buying on the installment plan is supposed to be easier than 1t used to be since the government relaxed the terms. But that is not the way it is working out in some places.
 The Federal Reserve board says many retailers and lenders are being more strict on their nstall- ment credit terms than the regula- tions require.
 The stricter terms are most not able in sales of older model used- cars, furniture, radios, television sets and some household appli- ances.
 The control regulations fix a minimum down payment Of 33 percent for autos and Is percent for other articles, and maximum ravment time-limit of 21 months. But dealers are free to require a greater down payment and faster pay-offs, and many of them are dong it.
