Winter Shows Fall On
County This Week

Winter SHOWS hit Garrett county
and most of the tri-state area on
Sunday and continued through
Monday. Temperatures were in the
middle twenties.
A regular winter blizzard de-
vcloped Sunday afternoon which
was short-lived, but showing and
blowing continued to such an cX-
tent that state and county plows
were put to work to clear some of
the highways. Drifting was heavier
than usual ON the highways because
many of the snow fences had been
taken down.
There were clearing skies ON
Tuesday and the temperature mod
Grated considerably by Wednesday,.
The low temperatures caused
much concern in the lowIands about
the danger to fruit, but farmers
were of the opinion that they
would not cause damage in Gar
rctt county since the buds were
not far enough advanced.
The cold and wet weather has
held up field work on crops in
the county, according to number
of farmers. But while spring
weather conditions have slowed
planting of many crops, crop re-
porters predicted the long range
effects of this would be minor

named in June, and in arranging
for further details of organization
Mr.. Naylor called d meeting for
Monday evening, May IS, at the
Methodist assembly room. Dr..

tomac Scout council from keyser,
w. Va, volunteered to pay the en-
tire costs of the dinner. Around
fifty plan to attend.

Frost Wastes Space,
Insulaies Freezers

Thick frost in home freeZers
is wasteful because it acts as an
insulator to prevent coils or
plates from cooling the interior
and cuts down storage space If
excessively thick.
Up. Blauser, extension agrl-
cultural engineer at Ohio State
University, says that best man
agement calls for removing frost
when it is IA inch thick, half
inch is the extreme limit.
HomemakerS may remove
frost while the freezer is opera
ting by scraping with scoop
type tools made especially for
this job, Blauser says. Some new
types of tools are plastic. Scrap
ing never should be done with
anything sharp enough to dam
age freezer walls or the gasket
around the opening.
If ice forms, it is necessary to
disconnect the freezer, take out
the food and melt the ice. If
the freezer has a drain, home
makers may run warm water
over the ice. Placing an electric
fan so that it blows cold air out
and warm air into the freezer
also will hasten melting.
HomemakerS also should re-
move ice as it loosens, sponge up
water formed and wipe the in
side of the freezer dry before
connecting and reloading it.

1t seems to me that any per-
son not guilty of association with
an internal enemy of this coun-
try should be willing to testify
to that effect. Failure to 60 so,
in my book, makes him suspect
of being traitor to America.
And so, it is rather sickening
when a genius such as Albert
Einstein, German-born, natural
lied American citizen, goes out
of his way publicly to advise his
fellow intellectuals" in the aca-
demic field to refuse to answer
questions put to them by duly
authorized Congressional Com
mittees.
Can 1t be that sooner or later
the great physicist is apprehen-
sive that he himself may be put
on the carpet for questioning
and is trying to cushion the
shock to his fellow Americans by
MS refusal then to make reply?
One wonders.
Which finally brings me to
the reason for writing this arti-
Gle. The nation owes debt of
gratitude to Senator Mccarthy
and Senator Jenner and the
others who are putting forth
such valiant efforts, amid the
cries of smear" book burn
ing" and fwitch-hunting," to
ferret out the Benedict Arnolds
who are trying to sell this ma
ton down the river into slavery
If you haven't written them, by
all means do so at once. Let them
know you are behind them. And
further, let your own Congress-
man and your two u. S. Senators
know just how you stand on this
cold war" within our borders.-
