Merry-Go-Round
Broke Down Under
Wheels of Justice

The wheels of justice have
rolled a wheeling merry-go-
round to grinding stop.
1t all started on Monday,
when Herman Verch, a., of the
1400 block of Langley Way,
Hyattsville, Md, drove his big
truck-complete with a toy
merry-go-round on the back
to the 5700 block of Fifth street
NE.
The neighborhood gang saw
Verch set up shop and ran to
take rides on the merry-go-
round for 10 cents a throw.
But somebody in the neigh
borhood who objects to merry
go-rounds complained, and po-
lice sped to the scene.
"You should know" an officer
told Verch, that you can't op-
crate merry-go-rounds, flying
horses or ferris wheels without
a license, according to our regu-
lationS."
So Verch packed up his merry
go-round, sent the kids home
and posted $50 collateral at No.
6 Precinct Station. Yesterday
Municipal Court Judge Almond
w. Scott, found Verch guilty and
fined him $40.

For Competitors

Edwin L. Stohlman, jr., has
been selected by the Metropoli-
tan area Chevrolet dealers to be
their general chairman for the
10th annual Washington Soap
Box Derby on July IL.
Mr.. Stohlman is vice president
of Stohlman Chevrolet. Inc, at
1907 M street NV, and lives in
Chevy Chase, Md.
The new general chairman
may be the youngest ever to
have served in that capacity-he
is 28-but he has had plenty of
experience. Mr.. Stohlman has
represented his leadership in the
Derby in some job for five years.
Mr.. Stohlman indicated that
Chevrolet this year will try to
give more assistance to entrants
than before. Last year, area
dealers cut in half the cost of
axles and wheels for the racers
so more boys could compete. A
similar plan will be followed this
year, Mr.. Stohlman said.
In addition. Mr.. Stohlman said
he hopes to be able to repeat a
plan followed last year, wherein
each of the IL Chevrolet agencies
gave a bicycle to a boy who had
registered with them and had
gone on to post the fastest time
in his heat.

1t was found that more than 90 percent

women like basement area or work room
for this although one-third of the Southern
women favor an outside building. And, ex-
cept in the South, the kitchen is the pre-
ferred place for ironing, especially in the
winter.
Sewing is an activity in which over
three-fourths of farm women engage. A
separate room for sewing is on the desired
list for about half Of the North Central
Northeastern. and Western women who
sew. However, almost half of the Southern
farm women would rather use a bedroom
as a sewing room.
Farm products are prepared for mar

families in the Northeastern, North Central
and Western States, and one-third Of those
in the South, generally in the kitchen or

The new rates are on a gradu-

higher with each renewal cas- the
insured grows older. but they are
not as great as the previous rates
until the insured reaches the age
