Speed OF Electricity

Does electricity have the same
speed as light? The electrons, the
charged particles which meve in a
wire carrying current, travel with
an average progress Of less than
D20th Of an inch per second. Some
Of these move in random directions
as fast as 80 miles per second, but
they make wild excursions in all
directions, which balance out to a
very slow net motion, vastly less
than the speed Of light. When an
electric charge is started in mo-

Governor Names
Unit To Chart
Road Buildinq

Gov. McKeldin has named a
three-member council to help chart
a road building program that the
State can afford"
He appointed E. Asbury Davis,
president of United States Fidel-
ity & Guaranty Co.; Charles S.
Garland of Alexander Brown &
Sons, Baltimore investment house,
and DR.. Abel Wclman of the Johns
Hopkins University's engineering
school. They will constitute an Ad-
visory Council on Highway Pro-
gram to consult with the State
Roads Commission.
Maryland already has tied up
sos million of a 500 million roads
bond issue authorized four years
ago and would need an additional
5000 million to $500 million to COM
plete highway and bridge con-
struction as now outlined, Gov.
McKeldin said.
Funds of such magnitude are
not in sight unless we should
greatly increase the States debt
and the States taxes" the Gov
erncr said. "A review of the pro-
gram in its engineering, fiscal and
ether aspects is therefore imper-
alive"
Maryland needs program to fit
what has been accomplished with
future program that the State
can afford" he added.
The Governor said the council
and commission would survey the
program now contemplated to
Judge whether it is adequate and
can be achieved with our avail
able financial resources in the
light of other pressing demands
and burdens of our citizens"
Mr.. Garland served on a similar
council created by former Gov.
Lane. That group prepared in
large measure the program the
new council will re-examine.

Extension Leader Retiring;
On Staff Thirty Five Years

Miss Venia Kellar, who for 81
years has been on the staff of the
University of Maryland Extension
Service, has announced her retire.
ment, effective March 81. She
started as home demonstration
agent in Dorchester County in
1917, and one year later went to
the University of Maryland as
state leader of home demonstra-
ton agents. In 1885 she was
named assistant director of Ex-
tension.
When Miss Kellar Joined Mary
lands Extension Service, only of
the % counties in the state had
part-time home demonstration
agents. Today, after years of
pioneer work in the field, Miss
Kellar has established a program
that includes in it's personnel "a
home demonstration agents, and ~
assistant agents. Five home econ
omics specialists, a district agent,
and All Club agent have also
been added to the State Extension
staff and work under her super
vision.
In 1850 the home demonstration
program in Maryland served an
enrolment of 1898 women in 442
homemakers' clubs. Also, there
were 1886 project groups with an
enrolment of 2,736 women being
reached through home demonstra-

County Has But
Few Books Says
Library Chief

Only half of the residents of
Montgomery County have access to
local library facilities, and the
county's public library book ratio
is but one book for every three
people. This is the estimate of
George B. 'Moreland, director of
the new department of public IL
baries. He has been on the job
since February Is and now is pre-
pairing budget estimates for his
new department.
Mr.. Moreland has finished tour
of the county's nine community Ii
braries. His department is author
lied to assume responsibility for
them if local library associations
are willing. He complimented
number of the libraries but called
them inadequate.
"Eventually-perhaps in %
years-we should have about
$4,000 books, or about two per
person, as recommended by the
American Library Association" he
said. He is now completing plans
for a central library unit that
would use about 2,400 square feet
of floor space.
E Also featured in the county's
future library system, Mr.. More
land said, will be a movie film COL
lection and film projects so that
organizations can borrow educa-
tional films for use in their COM
munities. Children's library facil-
tiles, supplementing school IL
braries, also will be emphasized.
Mr.. Moreland came to Montgom-
cry County from Johnstown, Pa.
where he was head of the city's
free library system. Previously he
had set up the United States
Maritime Service Academy Lii
brary, and he had served for a
number of years with the District
Public Library, first in charge of
children's books and later of cir
culation.

SELLS Held
Minimum
Food BUDGET

A weeks minimum food bill to
feed adequately a Washington area
family of four has risen from
$3.50 last October to 21.15 now, it
was reported Friday.
Miss Lois Burman, nutrition
consultant to the District Health
Department, reported the 81 per
cent rise in cost of the weeks
menu recommended last fall. She
spoke at a luncheon meeting of
public health, welfare and educa-
ton leaders, sponsored by the Bor-
den Milk Co. to promote wider
acceptance of milk powders. The
luncheon was held at the Statler
Hotel.
Although the menu is not par
ticularly exciting to families used
steaks and chops, she said, it rep
resents the minimum cost of an
adequate diet to low-income fam
lilies.
The sample weekly menu pro-
vides for some economy meats,
such as cheaper grades of ham,
burger, sliced tongue and meat
sauce for spaghetti. Eggs are
allowed twice for breakfasts. The
rest of the food consists largely of
vegetables, canned fruits, cereals,
bread, margarine, milk and coffee.

1t has Just been learned the
Postmaster General Jesse E. Don
aldson is now Chesapeake Bay
Wahmpus Admiral. The honor was
bestowed upon him this week by
the Chesapeake Bay Fishing Fair
Association for catching "on-to-
the idea,' and being a good sport.
After being set back by the Fish
ing Fair Association last summer
in Congressional fracas over the
Post Office Departments lottery
opinion, the PING has joined the
outfit which annually operates the
big fishing contest at different
ports on the Chesapeake Bay.
When Fishing Fair President,
Alden Miller, turned in the PINGS
membership, at a recent meeting,
one old timer observed, Hes got
sense! Amt he? If he can't lick
EN-, he joins 'em!"
The question on which the Fish
ing Fair and the PING tangled was
the Post Office opinion that the
Association would be considered
guilty of operating lottery
through the mails if it charged a
registration fee to anglers in the
Grand Contest, who would take a
chance to catch a big fish to win
trophy. Feeling that the Post
Office Department was out of
bounds, the Association went di-
rect to Congress. Thirty-one days
after the Bill was introduced by

tion work. In addition, Miss Kel-
lars work includes the supervision
of girls All Clubwork-and last
year there were 1888 girls clubs in
the state, with 6,107 girls enrolled.
Twelve years ago Miss Kellar
inaugurated Negro home demon
stration program in Maryland,
Last year there were Al Negro
bomemakers clubs with an enroll
nent of $50 women, while Negro
All Clubs for girls numbered 81,
with membership of 321 girls.
Miss Kellar is perhaps most
noted for her acknowledgement
Rural Women's Short Course or
college Week for Women" as it
is sometimes called. Farm women
from all over the State, ranging in
age from Is to So, attend the
Short Course; which is held each
year in June at the University of
Maryland.
In 1923, the first year, 203 farm
women attended. The enrolment
last year reached nearly 1900.
Specialists, lecturers, and expert
demonstrators are on hand to teach
the varied subjects offered during
the Week. At the 1850 Short
Course, for example, the Home
makers were offered classes in
Foods and Nutrition, Clothing,
Family Living, Music, Crafts, Art
in the Home, Home Furnishings,
handspring, Home Management,
Public Speaking, Parliamentary
Law, and Approved English.
Through careful and exacting
management, Miss Kellar has ar
ranged very small registra-
ton fee covering room and board
ats the University, as well as the
various social events held and a
sightseeing trip.
AS the Rural Z Women's Short
Course developed, so has it's fame.
Last November Miss Kellar re-
ceived and acceptedian invitation to
tell of the project in fifteen7min-
ute radio broadcast on the Voice
of America" series.

Corner
Coins
By Ted Hummer
Librarian, American Numismatic
Aeaania ftnn

81 just know the old penny 7
have is valuable, because it's so
worn I can't read the date" Thus
begins letter from Brooklyn.
N. Y. reader.
The woman could not be more
wrong. Two factors are consid-
cred in fixing the value of an old
coin. These are condition and
scarcity. The more worn a coin
Is the less value it will have to q
collector. And only coins that are
scarce command worthwhile pre-
miums. although some others may
be worth few cents over face.
Even in extremely rare coins
they are worth no premiums If so
worn that the lettering or figures
cannot be read clearly.
Collectors use standard terms to
describe coin conditions. These
are poor, fair, good, fine, uncircu-
lated and proof. Poor, fair and
good coins, with dates legible,
sometimes are worth small
amounts for rare specimens such
as the 1899 and 1904 cents. But
collectors soon get rid of such
space filters. to get better coins
for their albums or cabinets.
Poor and fair coins are those
with much of the lettering and
figures worn off. In a good coin
the words and lettering are plain
and intact. The great majority
of collectors prefer fine coins
where they cannot obtain better
ones. In fine coins all the letter.
ing is clear and sharp.
An uncirculated coin is one that
retains mint luster and has not
been in circulation. A proof is a
brilliant specimen with a mirror
like surface, made especially for
collectors.
