these hens are poor layers and
should be culled as soon as they are

Along The Potomac
from your Congressman
Dewitt S. Hyde

This country's reciprocal trade
agreements with foreign nations will
not be revised until next year. A
bill to revise them has been referred
back to committee.
I voted with the majority to turn
back the proposed changes, outlining
my opinion on the floor of the House
the day the matter was debated.
It is simply that these complex
tariff and trade policies should con-
tinue as they are until enough time
has been allowed for the new Ad-
miniStration and Congress to make
a thorough study of them. It is true
that certain industries or certain
states have made very convincing ar
guments to show present trade poll
cies are detrimental to them, but
do not feel that changes should be
made until we can predict their eff
feet on our entire economy.
Earlier this year Congress voted
to extend the 1851 trade laws and
the study of how to change them for
the benefit of all is now under way.
This will be one of the major items
to come before us when we return
to Washington next January.
There has been quite a pace set
here in Congress during the last
couple of weeks because of the desire
of all of us to conclude our work
and get home while there is still a
little something left of the summer.

Board Of County
Commissioners

A committee, consisting of Glenn
Williams, of Funkstown; Earl Bow
man, of Smithsburg; and Robert ].
Shifier, of Boonsboro; acting on be-
half of the county volunteer fire
companies, appeared before the
Board of County Commissioners, at
their regular meeting on Tuesday,
regarding county fire company mat
tiers.
The committee first of all asked
the Board to increase their annual
allotment from 5000 to 5000.
They then brought up the matter
of the purchase of portable pumps
for the six county companies (the
Board has already purchased pump
for use by the city companies)
During the discussion it was point
ed out that some of the county COM
panies already have portable pumps,
but were in need of new hose, and
it was also explained by the COM
mittee that the various companies
have decided that they would rather
purchase their own equipment, as
needed, instead of having it purchas-
ed by the county.
Following the discussion, motion
was made by president E. Lester
Mobley, ST., and unanimously ap-
proved, that the various county fire
companies prepare a complete list
of their needs and submit same to
the Board as soon as possible. The
Board then decided that no action
would be taken on the request for
the increased allotment, or the mat
tiers of portable pumps, until these
lists were received and examined.
President Mobley also pointed out
that one of the great things about
our volunteer fire companies was
their justifable pride in their equip
ment and that this interest and pride
can only be maintained if the COM
panies, through the efforts of their
members, take hand in raising at
least some of the money needed to
purchase this equipment.
The Board received a letter from
Jesse E. Tindall, chief engineer of
the North American Cement Corp
grafton, requesting permission to re-
locate a section of Maryland Route
81 in order that the Corporation
might expand its quarry, due to the
heavy demand for crushed stone for
construction work, as well as for
manufacture of cement.
In making the request, Mr.. Tindall
stated that the Corporation would
not only build a much better road
than the present one, but that this
new road would be built at no ex-
pense to the taxpayers, with all con-
struction costs and legal and en-
cheering fees being paid by the
Corporation.
The road, of course, would be con-
structed in accordance with state and
county requirements. The Corpora
ton also promised that it would es-
tablish a community park in the
western extremity of the relocation
of the road for the community of
FiddlerSburg and also that a parking
area would be added for the use of
the Shiloh Church, as well as the
Fiddlersburg community. 1t is under
stood that property owners in the
vicinity have given agreements in
writing for the relocation, and resi-
dences involved in the changes
would be restored to the satisfaction
of the owners.
President Mobley stated that the
Board will Immediately consult with
the State Roads Commission regard
ing the changes requested and if ap-
proval is given by the State, it is
expected that the Board will grant
full approval of the project

AIcometer Aids
Diabetie Victim

The Alcometer in the East
Cleveland Police Station probably
spared the life of an East Side
resident.
Removed by police from a CTS
bus, the man in a semi-coma was
given the alcometer test to deter
mine if he was intoxicated. The
test indicated a total absence of
alcohol in his blood. The patient
was then rushed to Huron Road
Hospital, given insulin and later
released.
Commenting on the incident.
Lieut.. Thomas O'Brien said that
without the aid of the alcometer,
the man probably would have been
booked for intoxication and placed
in Jail "to sleep it Off, a proce-
dure which could easily have
proved fatal to a diabetic.
The police this week also as
sisted another diabetic who was
stricken i'll in a gas station. He
was rushed to the hospital for an
insulin treatment.

Paris Winds Up
European Cycle
Trip For Boys

Ten days in Paris. This Is the
elimination of the trip which Ross
Firestone and Frank Hamilton are
enjoying to close summer abroad.
The last East Clevelanders
heard from the two cyclists was
their open letter to the Leader,
relating their experiences in the
British Isles.
The boys will be home in time to
return to college, Ross to Chicago
U. and Frank to Case.
The boys crossed the Channel
to Calais, France and cycled
through Belgium, Germany, Aus
tria Liechtenstein, Switzerland,
Italy, Monaco and France. Now
they are in Gay Paree.
From the letters home the boys
give high points of the tour as
the two Passes in the Swiss Alps,
the Rhine River scenery, the
glaciers, the Jungfraujoch and the
resorts along the Riviera. In the
Alps they climbed on their bicycles
1000 feet to coast the next 20 miles.
In Florence, Italy they stayed
at the international House for four
days. In Paris-here food and
lodging can easily match those of
the U.S.A., they had access to a
school dormitory, right in the CEN
ter f things, with room and two
meals a day for $1.50, thanks to
information from fellow hostelers.
Here Frank sought to locate
Prof. Walton of Case, to learn he
had already returned home. How
ever, two of the professors as
sociates, Ford executives there to
help improve French foundries, are
arranging tours in the foundries
for the boys. Frank is studying
metallurgy.
Ross has enjoyed concerts in
both Florence and Paris while
Frank wakes enthusiastic over the
art galleries. Frank attended a
Shakespeare play with a Dutchman
who teaches English. Both are
viewing Paris night life, not as
connoisseurs but rather as on
lockers of wide experience, their
three months abroad.
The boys return aboard the spe-
cial college ship, meeting again
the folks they first met going
over. They anticipate an exciting |
crossing, comparing notes since
they docked at Southampton and |
smigrate from LeHavre, France.

HCL Goes
To The Dogs

It's q doggie life for the dog
who gets picked up by East Cleve-
land Police and is registered in at
a kennel. On the American plan it
means no less than $1.25 a day
for the canine.
AS recently as July 31st the
East Cleveland City Commission
adopted a dog ordnance which,
among other things called for a
rate of one dollar a day to be
paid to the kennel boarding a dog
until claimed by the owner. But
the rapidly spiraling high cost of
living has already caught up with
doggies, and Mr.. Kennel Man has
notified the city he just can't feed
the animal for that meagre rate.
He asked $1.25 for a small dog and
$1.50 for a large dog. The city
compromised for $1.25 and the
legal rate is set forth in new
legislation enacted Tuesday night.
Yes, the rate includes a doggie
bed. The owner foots the bill.

Apartment
License Fee


In legislation enacted by the
City Commission Tuesday evening
the fee charges for apartment
licenses will be upped from the
flat one dollar per year to a rate
based on a scale set up according
to the number Of suites in the
apartment building.
G. T. Apthorp, finance director,
told the Commission that the one
dollar fee which the city has
charged landlords since January
1884 is insufficient to meet to-
days costs of building and fire
inspections by the city. He said
that dollar price was set during
the depression days due to the
low rents which landlords were
then receiving. Previously the fee
was fixed at fifty cents a year per
suite.
Under the new scale set up in
the new ordinance, landlords pay
the following license fees, effec-
tive with January, 1854.
8 to 6 suites-$3.OO.
z to Is suites-S6.OO.
16 to 30 suites-$9O0.
81 suites or over-$15.00.
In answer to a question Mr..
Apthorp said the Building Depart
menJ records show 287 apart
ments with three to six suites,
155 apartments with seven to 15
suites; 81 apartments with 16 to
80 suites, and IA apartments with
81 suites or more.
The new legislation will up the
537 which the city has been re-
ceiving each year from 537 apart
ment owners to $2,730. This sum,
it is explained, will more nearly
meet the city's costs of it's con-
building and fire inspec-
tions of apartment buildings.
