SEAT COVERS

w. B. writes: SIN driving my new
car with ny1on seat covers, I have
sometimes received electric shocks
from touching metal parts, and have
been told they are caused by the
seat covers. Can you explain this
and do you know of any way to
prevent it?"
These shocks are caused by static
electricity generated by rubbing
certain surfaces together, such as a
rubber comb through cats fur, in
this case wool clothing on the nylon
covers. The discharge causes a spark
which can be felt distinctly and can
be seen in the dark. In a gasoline
transport truck such FRACTIONAL cleo
trio sparks are dangerous and are
prevented by grounding the truck
through the steel chain which drags
behind.
Auto dealers and seat cover manu-
facturers are working on this prob
lem. Cotton clothing will not gem
crate as much static electricity as
wool, and it might be possible to
ground the seat and back covers to
the metal of the car by strips of
aluminium foil or very fine wires
and from the car body to the wool
clothing through the hands on the

The people of Gaithersburg
turned out full force on Thursday
evening complimenting Miss Con-
ME Fields, owner of the Gather
Theatre, who has turned an old
building into a modern theatre
complete with indirect lighting,
carpets, overstuffed seats and air
conditioning. 1t is the hope of all
that the high grade of entertain
ment offered will be kept ZIP so
that we may have the benefit of
first class shows. However, Miss
Fields can only afford to give good
entertainment if we patronize her
theatre.
Next Thursday evening, Feb
ruary Is, Gaithersburg citizens will
hold another town meeting in the
High SclNol gymnasium. An as
ISOLATION is being formed with the
idea of improving Gaithersburg. 1t
is the obligation of every property
owner in the town to attend town
meetings. If citizens would work
together for the betterment of
their neighbours property as well
as their own, we would soon have
an ideal town in which to live. The
Mayor and Council want your
opinions, cooperation and help, and
can only see eye-to-eye with you
when they know your desires.

New Date For C. E.
Unions Anniversary
Banquet February Is

The Montgomery County Christ
ian Endeavor Unions banquet
celebrating it's 10th anniversary

Friday, February 16. The banquet
to be held at Neelsville Presbyter-
ian Church was originally sched-
uled for Friday, February 2 the
date DIR. Clark organized the first
union in Williston, Me-, in 1881.
The Hagerstown Almanac was
consulted weeks in advance Of
February 2, first date selected for
the banquet, and stormy weather
was slated for this period, but
most of the planners scoffed at the
forecast. 1t turned out that the
almanac was right = the weather
was terrible - lanes were blocked,
telephone lines down, and it was
impossible to contact the women
who were to prepare the food. So
it was decided to select another
date-and the almanac promises
good weather for days in advance
of February 16, the new date. In
addition to the C.E. anniversary,
the banquet will honor Lincoln,
Washington and st. Valentine.
Walter Snyder will act as toast
master; William Earl of Gathers
burg High will lead singing, and
Charles o. Hayward, Field Secre-
tary for Maryland-Deleware and
DC. &c. Unions will be the
speaker. The banquet will begin
at $50 pm. Reservations may be

Human Bones Found On Kodiak Island Beach

KODIAK, (R "A human foot with part of the leg bone attached may solve the mystery of the dis appearance of two Kodiak naval station civilian employees la ast April.
 The remnant was found wedged in rocks, leading to speculation it may provide a clue to the fate of Henry Findley, 31, and Mario Pulver, 39, who failed to return from a fishing trip. Their over turned skiff was found later on the beach.
 Military personnel searched the beaches after the foot was found and recovered additional bones and a bit of cloth material be- lieved to be from a mans shirt.

OPS Cautions Dealers Against Pyramiding Taxes

Liquor dealers may apply their regular percentage markups to the new excise tax when figuring ceiling prices on liquor, the Of- flee of Price Stabilization said to- day. The OPS said there had been some confusion among liquor dealers as to how this tax could be passed on to the con- sumer. Charles w. Preston, Fair banks Office Manager for OPS, said he had been advised by the Territorial Office in Juneau that liquor dealers may treat the new excise tax as an added invoice cost and apply their customary percentage markup to the in- creased cost to them. The OPS qualified the statement, how ever by pointing out that this may be done only if the tax is included in the invoice cost and not stated separately. The same basis may be used in figuring tax increases on floor stocks.
 The new cigarette tax of one cent package may be passed on

Egyptians Parade In Anti-British Demonstration

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, (P) - About 100000 marchers three quarters of them schoolboys-pa- raded in silence in an anti-British demonstration marking the 31st anniversary of Egypt's bid for in- dependence from British rule.
 The government had banned shouting by the paraderS, but they carried banners denouncing the British. There were hundreds of such banners, with such belli- gerent slogans as: Get out, you dirty British" and "No coopera- tion with English killers of wom- en and children!"
 Among the paraders were school children, Boy and Girl Scouts marching to the airs of Boy Scout drum and bugle corps, businessmen and representatives of this city's foreign colonies, in- cluding several hundred Greeks. Government, religious and labor leaders were among those head ing the parade, which took 90 minutes to pass a given point.
 In Cairo, Prime Minister Mus tanha E1 Nahac paSha said in a speech to an independence day celebration that western policy in the Arab world twill undoubted- ly lead to catastrophe" and that the vests glory would fade like that of ancient Rome if it con- tinued "to ignore Arab national aspirations"

governments will have to be tougher

Another serious question concerns
the true extent of communism in
France and Italy. Recent election
results have been disappointing.
The total Communist vote has de-
clinsd. but 1t has not dropped as
much as might have been expected
in view Of the economic recovery
that has come with Marshall Plan
aid Our officials in Paris and Rome
minimize the significance of cleo
ton figures, however In the recent
French elections. for instance, the
total Communist vote was SO mil
lion-about Is per cent of the total.
But the political experts in our
Paris Embassy say that the actual
Communist Party membership in
France is between 100000 and 700,-
600, and that of these only around
100000 are what might be called
hard-core Communists. Their ex-
PLANTATION Of the Communist ballots
is that the Frenchmen additionally
vote left, and that the Communist
ticket offers the readiest means for
expression of political and economic
discomfort. = Much the same thing
goes for Italy, although the Com
munistS there claim million en-
rolled members, which, if true, is
the largest Communist Party out
side Russia. There is little belief,
however, either among our diplo-

that the Communists can gain a
dominant political position, and
even less belief that they will prove

NATO Meeting Oowo Strengthens Atlantic Powers Determination

This week, at Ottawa, the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization came of
age.
For the first time since the So
called Atlantic pact was signed in
April, 1949-a defense agreement to
help protect free Western nations
from the advance of communism
an air of realism had supplanted the
vague, pious hope that somehow a
mighty force would grow up magically
to frighten Russia into military i'm
potency.
For the first time the ministers of
the IL signaory nations faced up to
the fact that their defense plans were
not purely military matters; that
containment of Russia could not be
considered without studying the cost
of that containment, and that way
must be devised to make small ma
tons, like Denmark, equal partners
in the coalition with giants like the
United States.
From the time It was well under
way last Monday until it adjourned
Thursday afternoon, the conference
grew in accomplishment and scope
far beyond the report and explora-
ton" program originally expected.
Flushed with enthusiasm born in San
Francisco fortnigh tbefore with the
successful signing of the Japanese
peace treaty. more than 200 foreign
ministers, finance ministers, defense
ministers, generals and their advisers
and aides jostled their way into the
Canadian House of Commons,
bristling to get down to cases.
First Shocker

were over and the agenda had been
read by the Belgian Foreign Minister,
Paul Van iceland. the delegates got
their first shocker from Gen. Eisen-
hover, NATO chief in Western
Europe. In a message from rance,

British. Despite the low living
standards and the political uncer-
tainties Illustrated by the call for a
new election, Britain is devoting
from 10 to II per cent of its gross
national product to military pur-
poses, as against our Is per cent.
When the British make a commit
ment, they live up to it. And, as
one of our top officials put it: 1.-The
British are firmly committed to the
North Atlantic project. There is no
doubt whatever that we can count
on them. When the chips go down,
they will fight as they fought
in 1940."
Germany is kind of special case.
Without German manpower there
can be no effective defense in
Western Europe, and the Germans
know it. They will drive a hard
bargain before the negotiations are
over.
To look at Berlin is to wonder
whether the Germans can ever be
induced to fight again. Six years
after the war, the desolation is ap-
palling. West Berlin is coming back
slowly, but the evidence of recov-
cry is plain. In the Russian sector,
however, one rides for block after
block after block and sees nothing
but bare rubble and burned-out
walls. Where buildings stand, the
shop windows are bare, and the
shabby people have a harried look
about them.
The great square where the
Reichschancellery once stood, where
Hitler dreamed his dream of a
Reich that was to last for a thou
sand years, is wasteland. The
blocks of stone from the chancel-
lery have been carted away by the
Russians to build for themselves a
handsome war memorial. There is
nothing there except two huge, ugly
chunks of concrete-the remains of
Hitler's blasted afraid shelter
