continued selling pork loins to the
Washington branch because he
had a considerably higher ceiling
in New Brunswick. Mr.. Shaw said
Safeway was required to purchase
through the New Brunswick
branch at the higher price plus Sc
cents per hundredweight freight.
Butler Opposes Restoration.
At the beginning Of the hearing,
Senator Butler, Republican, of
Nebraska, appeared before the
committee to oppose restoration Of
slaughter quotas. He said he be-
lieved that quotas would probably
hamper meat production land
thereby perhaps lead to a real
shortage and to rationing at the
consumer level"
Senator Butler, with other Sen
atorS, sponsored the amendment
to the Controls Act resulting in
the ban on quotas.
Two witnesses urged the rein
statement of quotas. They were
Benjamin Schwartz, president of
B. Schwartz & Co., a Chicago
wholesale concern, and Joseph B.
DanzanSky, Washington lawyer
who is general counsel of the Ma
tional Association of Meat Process
Sors and Wholesalers.
Mr.. Schwartz said that quotas
would result in stability in the
slaughtering and distribution of
meat and if properly established
would give slaughtererS a reason
able profit and a generous profit
to the farmer. He said the quota
system is the only weapon OPS
has to curb black markets.
Raw Deal, Schoeppel Says.
He and Senator Schoeppel, Re-
publican. of Kansas engaged in a
verbal tussle. Senator Schoeppel
said the farmers recognize it
when they get a raw DEAL" Mr..
Schwartz replied that the pro-
ducers get a pretty good deal" ."
Mr.. Schwartz'S company is one
Of the suppliers of Safeway.
Mr.. Danzansky testified:
From every conceivable point
of view, from the practical to the
theoretical. quotas must be REIN
stated in order to assure fair dis
tribution. A quota system must
be accompanied by mandatory
ALLEGATION to its normal channels
of distribution which existed in
1880"
The other witnesses opposed re-
instatement of quotas. They were
L. Blaine Liljenquist of the West
ern States Meat Packers ASsocia-
ton and j. C. Petersen of Spencer,
Iowa, president of the National
Lamb Feeders Association with
headquarters at Denver.
OPS said that the increase in
the wholesale price of beef is
necessary because the prices of
hides and tallow have dropped,
cutting into the packers profits.
The agency also said that it will
move to adjust the retail ceilings
between the better cuts and the
cheaper cuts, holding that the
former have been too high and
the latter too low.
AS an example Of what OPS
plans, choice porterhouse steaks
will be cut about cents a pound
Less desirable cuts Of beef will
60 up.
The higher retail prices for ham
bacon and pork shoulders are due
later on this week and will be a
few cents pound. OPS officials
said these increases will maintain
the dealers margin Of profit fol
these cuts in the same way the
profit margin has been main
tained. .under the increases already
allow( for pork roasts and chops

ing how things go on in the class

message from ]. S. Cunningham
the PTA president, taken from the
October News Letter which is sent
to all parents, but is of interest to
the whole neighborhood. There
are approximately 100 children m
the kindergarten this year, requir-
ing not only split days, but drop
a-day schedule that gives each
child only four half-days in school.
There are almost as many in other
elementary grades and the walls
threaten to burst at the seams,
before relief is provided by other
new schools, such as the one at
Burtonsville. But even sucn
schools, such as the one at Bur-
louisville. But even such schools
will not take the load from the
high school, and the entire new
structure will be needed by the
time it can be built. We hope
you will give your wholehearted
support to our efforts to get the
facilities that are needed for the
proper instruction of our children. !"

Let's review little of the his

"Some of these traditions have not
been proven, historian Muir
warned.
On February %, 1889, Nellie
Custis married Lawrence Lewis at
Mt. Vernon. The bride, a famous
beauty, was the daughter of John
Parke GUSTS (son of Martha Gusts
Washington), and Eleanor Calvert,
of Maryland. The bridegroom, an
officer in the U. S. Army, was the
son of Fielding and Betty Wash
ington Lewis of Kenmore, and was
George Washington's nephew and
aide. The wedding was on the last
birthday Washington was ever to
see.
In letter dated Sept. 20, 1899,
to Lawrence Lewis, General Wash
ington confirmed his intention to
give the part of Mt. Vernon lands
on which Woodlawn stands to Mel
lie and Lawrence jointly. He told
the young man that the property
would be devised to them in his
will. He urged them to start build
ing their home at once. Tradition

Montgomery SideIights
By Elsie White Haines

Except for the autumn coloring
Tuesday was like a day in June
the temperature reached the mid
eighties during the afternoon -
white clouds f1oated on a blue sky
and the hooking birds sang as if
IN effort to make up for the alb
sence of the summer birds. We
took advantage of it by picking up
two boon companions for a trip to
Woodlawn, the estate given by
George Washington to Lawrence
and Eleanor Gusts Lewis as a
wedding gift.
" The campaign to save Woodlawn
as a National shrine, begun in
194S, has ended in the property be-
ing turned over to the National
Trust for Historic Preservation.
The beautiful house, said to be one
of the nations finest specimens of
Georgian architecture, with con-
siderable acreage, has been saved
for posterity by gift from an
anonymous friend of the trust not
only to hquidate existing indebted
ness but to provide funds for res
toration of the property. The pur-
chase price is said to have been
$4,000.
During the past several years,
when Woodlawn Public Founda-
ton was striving to raise the
funds, many of you heard Mrs.
Wallace Muir, of Washington
Grove, tell the story of the estate.
Mrs. Muir's grandfather, Ezra
Troth, lived at WOODBURY. during
the era when a group of Quakers
went down from New Jersey and
purchased much of the George
Washington lands. Mrs. Muir,
dorothy Troth Muir has written
two books about the locale: "Poto-
mac Interlude" and "The Presence

Seward Hospital
 Moi Private, Health Commissioner Bays

ANCHORAGE, Aug. 27 - R - pr c. E. Albrecht, Alaska commissioner of health, says that Territorial Audtiro Neil Moore's refusal to allow an $82,07o voucher for the Seward nurses home is based on confused information"
 Expressing confidence that the
 w.ssss.a.saa w.ssss..sa ssssssassse payment A. breoht Eaid the new nurses home is not private eiitelprise.' as co.l- tended by Moore,
 He said the Seward General Hospital is operated by com munity hospital board. The city of Seward owns the building and the territory owns the sanatorium and pays the Methodists to op- crate it.
 Albrecht said the Seward council is asking the Alaska Public Works fund to build a 50-bed hospital. He said the new nurses home would house both the general hospital and sanatorium nurses. The US. is te pay half the cost. the territory one fourth and the Methodists donating an amount equal to the territory.
