USES NEW KIND OF STOVE

Pvt. Charles c. Grove, son of Mr..

President Of Md. Farm Bureau
Charges Use Of Mailing Lists
For Political Purposes.

Use of mailing lists at the Univer-
sity of Maryland for political pur-
poses is sharply criticized by the
Maryland Farm Bureau in state
ment from that organizations Pres
ident, Wilson A. Heaps.
The Farm Bureau President,
speaking for 1000 Maryland farm
family members, called for an in
vestigation by the University's
Board of Regents and the State At
torney General to prevent recur-
renee" of such political activity.
The lists were used to spread a
tabloid paper entitled the "Agricul-
turaI Progress News Letter" which is
run by former Department of Agri-
culture and Production Marketing
Administration employees who have,
formed a prediction group known
as the Committee for Agriculture
Progress.
The CAP uses information sup
piled by PIMA and the Farmers I'm
ion which is in opposition to Farm
Bureaus position on farm programs.
The News Letter is also dedicated
to endorsement of the Democratic
candidates in Maryland as well as
the Stevenson-Sparkman ticket.
Earlier, Democratic headquarters
in Maryland used the University
mailing lists to send out political
pamphlets urging the election of the
Stevenson-Sparkman ticket and
pointing to Democratic achievements
with farm programs.
The Maryland Farm Bureau and
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton with which it is affiliated are
both non-partisan. In releasing his
statement, Mr.. Heaps said he took
no issue with the Democrats since
he had no partisan, interest in the
matter. But he did denounce the
use Of facilities at the State Univer-
sity for distributing partisan propa-
ganda, regardless of the label of the
party so aided.

Around Town With
The Editor

We will all be going to the polls on
Tuesday to cast our votes in the
Presidential election and since this
is the last chance l will have to
write about it, l am devoting my
column this week to a simple state
ment on why l am for Eisenhower.
| am for Eisenhower because:
y firmly believe that he has the
ability, experience and background
to lead these United States in the
troublesome years ahead.
2)I believe that while he will call
in, and confer with, the best men in
the country regardless of their po-
litical affiliations, the ultimate de
cisions he arrives at will be his own.
81 l believe his statement, during
the campaign, that he is "a No Deal
Man." and that he has made no COM
mitments or bargains with anyone.
~ I believe that the Democrat adj
ministration has outlived its useful
ness and can no longer be depended
upon to provide good government.
The very fact that the Democrat
campaign has been waged on the
slogan "Be Grateful" in an admis-
sion that they have nothing con-
structive to offer the voters.
And finally I am for Eisenhower
because his election will insure the
return of real two-party system.
l do not mean by that, that if the
Democrats stay in power there won't
be two-party system, but do mean
that instead of there being a Demo-
crat and Republican two-party sys-
tenn, there will be a Labor and Re
publican two-party system.
The Democratic administration
has, in my opinion, sold out to the
ruling heads of organized labor and
the tragedy of that is that the work
ing men and women, who are not
members of the labor unions, and
the men and women of fixed incomes
and these two groups far outnum-
Der organized labor - will be left
holding the bag.
Organized labor, despite the in
crease of pay for which the present
administration is largely responsible,
are no better off financially than
they were ten years ago, because all
their increases have been swallowed
up in the ever increasing cost of
living.
But the larger group, outside the
labor unions, are ten times worse of
than they were ten years ago be-
cause their increase in wages, sal
aries, or incomes, have been far be-
low the increased cost of living.
I firmly believe in the rights OF
labor to organize and bargain, but
am just as firmly against any gov
eminent that sets organized labor
on pedestal-which the Truman
administration has very definitely
done.
P.S. Please remember that if you
are for Eisenhower, it is necessary
for you to not only cast your vote
for him, but also for the entire Re
publican ticket, in order that he will
have the support of Congress when
he takes office in January.

Kiwanians Hear Of
New World Calendar
Plan To Revolutionize Present
Calendar Explained By DR..
John Hedeman.

Dr. John T. Hedeman, pastor of
St. Marks Lutheran Church, Balti-
more, and noted philosopher and
humorist, was the guest speaker at
the regular weekly luncheon meet
ing of the KiWanis Club, held at the
Hotel Alexander on Thursday. The
meeting was presided over by pres
ident Albert M. Long and the speak
er was introduced by Edward ].
Hajek, chairman of the Public Rela-
tions Committee, which arranged the
program.
DR.. Hedeman, who spoke on
Time and the Calendar" warned
his audience at the outset that he
was going to talk about the pro-
posed new World Calendar and that
if they were confused about it,
they would probably be more so
by the time he was through. But al
though he interspersed his talk with
many of the humorous stories for
which he is noted, he soon showed
that he was also joking when he in
timated that his talk would be more
confusing than helpful, for he gave
very fine Interpretation of the pro-
posed World Calendar.
Tracing the history of the calen-
dar that we know and use, the
speaker pointed out that although
we look upon year as 1865 days, it
actually is 1854 days and it is be-
cause of this extra one-fourth day
that, back in the 1905, the extra
day in February every fourth year
(knoWn as Leap Year, was inserted
into the calendar.
Turning his attention to the pro-
posed new World Calendar. DR..
Hedeman pointed out that although
we talk of the four quarters of a
year and the two halves of a year,
they are not exactly equal, since we
have 365 days in a year. However,
under the World Calendar, there
would only be 1854 days in the cal
endar year, starting off with January
having 81 days, February 80 days
and March 30 days, and the same ro-
tation being followed in the remain
ing three-quarters.
The 365th day, the speaker point
ed out-the last day of the year
would be known as World Day, or
"W' Day, which would be a World
Holiday honoring Good Will and
World Peace, and it would be cele-
brated the day following the thirtieth
of December on the new World Cal
endar. Then, in the so-called Leap
years, a second CIV" Day would be
observed on the day following June 30
on the new World Calendar.
Another unusual feature of this
calendar would be that the first day
of each quarter would always fall
on Sunday and the last day of
each quarter on Saturday.
Thus, humorously pointed out the
speaker, people instead of, as at
present, just being able to say off
hand, 81 was born on January A."
but who are stumped on what day
they were born, would, in future
generations, be able to say, 81 was
born on Wednesday, January f."
In conclusion, DR.. Hedeman told
his audience that the organization
back of the new World Calendar
hoped to have it completed and
ready to present to the world by
1856, adding that the movement is
growing rapidly throughout the ma
ton, although he expects it will be
long after 1856 before it is univer-
sally accepted.

In the case Of under-$12, ,OOO

screens? am wondering. if wash
them with water will rusting
occur?
| Answer: Bronze metal does not
rust. However, if there is an eX-
ceSsive amount of moisture for a
long time, eventually the metal
will acquire a dark color and then
will turn green.
To clean the screening, scrub
with a securing powder and rinse
we'll with clear water.
Screens that were on the kitchen
windows get an extra scrubbing to
be sure that all traces of grease
have been removed. After wiping
the screen cloth dry, store in a dry
place and cover with paper to
keep off the dust.
If the screens are more than
two years old. it would be wise to
give them a coat of top quality
spar varnish, thinned with a half
and-half mixture of linSeed oil
and turpentine. Be sure all the
edges of the frame holding the
screening are we'll coated. This is
done to prevent possible oXida-
ton of the metal.

Question: The brick toward the
base Of my house and inside the
basement looks as if it is disinte-
grating. 1t crumbles when touched.
This condition occurs in patches
on the outside as we'll as the in
side. Your suggestions would be
appreciated.
Answer: If all of the brick is
above grade and is not in very bad
condition. you should be able to
stop further disintegration by
coating the exterior brickwork
with a dampproof cement paint
or a transparent waterprooflng,
preferably the type containing
silicones.
Where crumbling occurs below
the surface of the ground, it will
be necessary to waterproof the
outside of the foundation walls
with liquid asphalt dampproofing
or hot tar. Brick that has crum-
bled and deteriorated very badly
should be replaced.
Question: We would like to have
suggestions about the finishing of
doors. windows and baseboards.
The windows have an initial coat
of paint inside. Must we remove
this or can stain be applied over it.
Answer: Most of the wood fin
ishing at present is done in natural
colors. that is, no stains are used.
Usually two coats of top quality.
ouick-drying varnish is sufficient.
If a glossy finish is not desired,
use a semigloss varnish. It will
be necessary to remove the prime
coat of paint that was applied on
the windows. This. I presume, is
a very thin coat and it should not
be difficult to take it off by rub
bing with sandpaper.
Cleaning of Bronze Screens.
Question: Will you let me know

off with turpentine before the
varnish is applied. Birch does not
require a filler of any type.
Smoking Fireplace.
Question: We find that our
Fireplace smokes very slightly.
Would the damper, which I believe
is an old one. have anything to do
with this condition? 1t seems to
open and close we'll enough.
What would you suggest?
Answer: If there is no severe
smoking. it might be possible
that there is heavy accumula-
ton of ash around the damper.
Cleaning this out would undoubt-
edly bring about an improvement.
