the hand Of President Truman.
there was no receiving line. as
there had been at similar recep-
tionS in previous years.

explained that the receiving line
was abandoned because Of the
terrific traffic problem" created

to shake hands with the President.

about IS minutes after the recep-
ton got under way. and remained
only long enough for the President
to make a few brief remarks.
With Mrs. India Edwards. vice
chairman of the Democratic
National Committee and director
of its women's division, in the
lead, the group filed onto roped-
of, raised platform in the ball
room, as shouts Of I'VE want

CHARM
BY LOU LuToUR

NEW YORK - (Global) -
Have you ever felt the desire to
cast a magic spell and become as
charming as your favorite fe-
male movie idol? Or is there
someone near and dear to you for
whom you have missed many
hours of precious slumber, wish
ing and hoping that he would
look upon you with fascination
and sincere appreciation? All the
wishing in the world will not
make it so. Everything depends
on you.
Did you know that we are all
endowed with charm? Most of us
permit our charm to lie dormant
and become obscured through our
lack of effort to bring this Won
derful asset to the surface so that
all might see it.

commodities to assist you in

is no excuse for your not being
described by your friends as
charming" Of course, it is easi-
er to attend to the face and fin
gernails as a "must" but we have
so much more left of the body
which Graves our attention also.
So let's pretend that we have two
sets of hands and pedicure our
toenailS at the same time we
manicure our fingernailS.
Let's also pretend the skin is
just as delicate all over the body
and when we cream our faces,
neck and hands, let's not forget
the rest Of us. Try it. You will
find that you feel almost brand
new. You feel wonderful all over
and in feeling wonderful you can
not help but feel charming and be
charming.

Mt. Cory Man Fathers Machine That
Proves A OBOn To Potato Growers

That laborious pre-planting pro-
cess of cutting seed potatoes has
been eliminated for farmers of acre
age large enough to warrant mech
~anization by a cutting machine in
vented by a Mt. Cory man, and
which has proved a uccess in the
field.
The inventor whose contribution
to modern farming has saved many
aching fingers and countless hours
of labor is Waldo Hanna, who lives
on an 80-acre farm northwest of Mt.
Cory on Hancock County Route 81.
Hanna's invention of the machine
for cutting seed potatoes came back
in 1852, and the development was all
the more unique because of the fact
that he doesn't raise potatoes on his
own farm, specializing instead in
beef cattle and hogs.
However, Hanna had a brother-in-
law who at that time was concen-
trating on commercial potato rails
ing, and the chore of seed-potato
cutting each spring took many hours
and tough fingers
After cutting seed for a week at
a time every spring, in helping his
brother-in-law, Hanna started cast
ing about for an easier way of get
ting the job done. He worked in
his spare time during the winter on
the invention, and finally came up
with a machine which he hoped would

Bounty Of 81 For
Foxes KILLED Here

Bagging a fox in Allen county
will net you 81 if you turn in all
four feet to the sheriff's office, game
officials pointed out this week in
commenting on one of the few boun-
ty offers still in effect for sports
men.
Each foot of a fox is worth 81
when presented for bounty allow
ances, and evidence that quite a few
of the animals are roaming the
county's fields is seen in the report
that during 1851 the feet of 80 red
foxes and two gray ones were
turned in to the sheriff.
Ten of the foxes killed last year
we're baged in November, during

Electric Sales Up
Water ReUenHe DOUn

While Buttons consumption
of electricity from the municipal
light and power plant showed a n
increase for the first six months
this year, there a an unex-
plainable drop in the consump-
ton of water i'm the community,
the Board of Public Affairs an
nOunced this week after the semi
annual audit of books for 1852.
The report shows an increase
in dollar sales of electricity of
five and a half per cent, as COM
pared with the same period In
1851. The net gain shows an in
crease of eight per cent.
In the water department, how
ever, sales were off $1,000 during
the first six months at a time
when 2.3 million cubic feet less
water was pumped.
The report shows that the wa
terworks had an operating loss
of slightly more than $1,000 dur
ing this period.

Some of his neighbors ran tests
of the machine for him, and helped
out with suggestions as to how it
could be improved, before he finally
produced a working model in 1912.
On May Is, 1914, he applied for a
patent, which was granted May 20,
1947.
In the meantime he was building
the machines at his farm and selling
them to neighbors. All in all he
