DEE KEEPING is a hobby
- that's a honey!

- that's a honey!
In fact. some University of
Maryland bee students liter
ally carry their work home
with them at the end of the
school year. Vacationing pu-
pills often buy a hive buzzing
with about $4,000 honey bees
and continue their study in
the backyard.
Many take the course just
because they are fascinated
by the industrious insect, says
George J. Abrams, the uni
versity's apiculturist. True,
the entomology and horti-
cultural students should know
something about the bee. But
a, cross-section of a class re-
veals persons majoring in
English, business administra-
tion and engineering.
And most of them have
never seen the inside of a
hive, says Mr.. Abrams. He
first traces the history of the
bee, from prehistoric days to
the present. Thousands of
years ago, he tells them,
Egyptians used honey and
beeswax to preserve mummieS.
The students later become
acquainted with the life cycle
of the bee, colony organiza-
tion and division of labor,
bee anatomy, different castles
of bees and their duties, nee
tar sources, bee diseases and
enemies. They also are taught
the value of bees as pollinizers.
Excitement runs high when
Mr.. Abrams takes his future
beekeepers out to the hives for
the first time. They must
learn to handle bees with "a
minimum of Stings," he says.
Each wears gloves and a veil
over the head, the men tuck
their trousers legs into their
socks and the women wear
coveralls. The professor then
lights the burlap inside a
smoker" and shows how to
open a hive.

A Honey Of a Course
for Maryland Students
By Meredith s. Ruel

The smoker has a quieting
effect on the bees when Mr..
Abrams blows a few puffs into
their boxlike home. He stands
at the side of a hive and
smoke is blown into the en-
trance to drive the guards"
back. Slowly and carefully,
he removes the lid and smoke
is waited into the top of the
hive to drive the bees down.
ward. Now the combs can be
lifted out and the hive ex-
amined. Then the class tries it.
Glasses are held twice u
week in the new apiary
building-"a mecca for bee
keepers everywhere" Mr..
Abrams says, because it is the
only one of its kind in the
Nation. In addition to a
classroom, it has bee-hand-
ling paraph ernalia and
equipment for extracting and
bottling honey. Establish
ment Of a museum and library
Is under way.
One of the class most
interesting field trips comes
in the spring. Mr.. Abrams
loads several hives into a
truck and takes the students
to Allegany and Washington
Counties, where they observe
the bee as a pollinator. The
bees fit among the apple and
cherry orchards, pollinating
the blossoms.
Few realize the bee is
more important as a pollina-
tor than as a honeymaker,"
Mr.. Abrams says. THE insect
fertilizes the blooms of a large
number of fruits and vege-
tables which otherwise would
never mature. The pollinizing
value of honey bees has a
monetary value 20 times that
of the honey and beeswax
they produce"
In connection with this, he
points out that bees some
times carry home the nectar
from poison ivy blooms. mo

Prices Won't Increase

BY the Assoeiaied Press

Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
says that prices of consumer goods

long term trend still may be up
ward.
Major price changes are not
indicated for the balance of this
year." said Mr.. Sawyer, summing
Iup results of a survey by the de-
Ipartment on the effects Of the So
day steel strike that ended July rs.
Despite the price increase that
went along with the settlement,
the survey showed many business
men plan to absorb all or part Of
the higher metal cost rather than
try to pass it along to the public.
Arnall Predicts Increases.
Mr.. Sawyer gave this reason: =
"It is clear that general refu j
on the part of the consumer %

price increases impossible to main
tain"

Mr.. Arnall said yesterday the
cost Of living now is at the highest

to rise.
A strong, effective price con-

ELEMENTARY NEWS

One finds many displays of
interest in going about from room
to room at Liberty City Elemen-
tary school. In Mrs. Thomas room
her fifth grade pupils have drawn
a very complete may of the United
States which depicts the natural
resources that come from each
state. The map occupies the
whole back bulletin board and is
worthy of notice and study.
In Miss Smiths fifth grade
class there is displayed in the
back of the room, complete gas
distributing center with tanks,
ETC., made of silvered cardboard.
This is quite realistic. Needless to
say, their unit is on gas and its
distribution. Mrs. Finley'S third
grade class have set up a Mail or
Letter Drop with slots for Air
Mail, outgoing, special delivery
and regular mail. The class room
windows are named and labeled
as would be the windows in the
post office. They are also making
out their own money orders.
OF outstanding quality is the
display in Mrs. Madelyn Thomp-
sons room, on China. Everything
one could possibly think of and
which is within the range and
thinking Of sixth grade children,
has been included in the unit.
The map of China was the first
thing on which the children work
ed, done in paStelS on the middle
panel in the back of the room.
Also displayed is Chinese temple
realistically done with gilded
cardboard covered with Chinese
figures, A Chinese home is very
beautifully done with blue con-
struction paper, silvered gables,
and decorated culicues. Also in
cluded in the display are draw
ings of Gods, animals, decorated
plates and vases, umbrellas or
parasols, books on China from the
library, and a special issue of Life
magazine on China.

About the turn of the century a great sociologist
named Charles Horton Cooley coined a new word.
SocOus This man said that you could look AT any

an individual apart from his group, or as A rugged
indvidualist" "ee>
The "Socus" is what politicians and labor lead
ers want all men to be. If they can submerge in
dViduaIy, they will then be able to achieve their
goals. This explains why the Russians are working
so hard to develop collective farms The independent
farmer thinks too much as an individual to fl into
the Russian purposes This also applies to Chinese
farmers who OWN their farms, but not to renters"

Department Store Sales In March
Third Federal Reserve District

March department store sales
continued their downward trend
from a year ago, according to the
Federal Reserve Bank of Philadel-
phia. Although sales were 8 per
cent below the previous March,
this decline was not expected be-
cause of the early Easter last year.
After a special allowance for East
er variation, District sales were
unchanged from 1851. All of the six
cities for which data are available
shared in the 10 per cent decline
experienced by the Third Federal
Reserve District for the first three
months of this year.
Preliminary departmental sales
