Chest Drive is Expected to
Exceed Coal for Third Time

Travelled widely in Belgium, France,
Germany, Italy, Switzerland and
Yugoslavia as assistant director of
the Salzburg Seminar in American
Studies, compared health and well
fare services of these countries
with those of the United States.
He pointed out how America is
the only country in the world
where members of the community
take care of their own and do not
depend, nor do they want, govern
ment to regiment and support such
services.
Mrs. Downey paid special tribute
to the hundreds CT men and women
in the county who have devoted
themselves as volunteer workers
for the Community Chest and to
the press and radio for their fine
cooperation and support.
A total of 101 agencies are sup
ported by Community Chest dol
lars. Eleven of these are in Mont
gomery County. These are: Girl
Scouts; Camp Ere Girls; Boy

munity Center; Mental Hygiene

Safeway Says Consumers
Curing Present Beef Crisis

American consumers are eating
the country out of the present beef
crisis. This in summary is the
report of the food dealers of the
country on the current beef prob
lem. Released by Safeway Stores,
the report states that Mr.. and Mrs.
Consumer will eat nearly 100000
more cattle and calves this year
than in 1852.
The report made on survey
of 1000 food stores all over the
country tells what retailers have
done to sell more beef, shows how
retail prices of beef have come
down, and explodes the fallacy of
judging beef prices by high priced
steaks.
The report illustrates how a
U. S. choice grade steer weighing
1000 pounds on the hoof shows up
on the consumers dinner table in
only 444 pounds of retail cuts.
The balance of the steer is
slaughter waste, packer by-pro-
ducts and loss. Thoughtful shop
pers are realizing that steak prices
are not typical beef prices. Dollar
steak is 80 times the average re-
tail price for all products of the
steer, the report shows, and the
choice animal that produces the
fancy steaks also produces many
bargain cuts of the same quality.
The marketing study showed

At the final general report meet
ing of the Community Chest Cam
paign for the National Capital
Area, Montgomery County report
ed $40 900, or $4,000 more than
was raised last year.
According to Mrs. Theodore j.
Downey, of Bethesda, campaign
chairman for the county, add ton
al gifts which will come in during
the next few months will put Mont
gomery County over 1000 of quo
ia. This will be the third year that
Montgomery County has exceeded
its goal.
Mrs. Ronald S. Senseman, resi-
Dental unit chairman, reported
1000 of quota at the meeting and
received the "Red Feather" Oscar
for her units efforts. Mrs. Downey
suggested that anyone in Mont
gomery County who wishes to
make a contribution, call Chest
Headquarters at Juniper 5-7145
and someone will contact them, OF
they may mail their contribution

that over the past several years
many housewives have been switch-
to the comparative few fency cuts
of beef and have created demand
and have kept these cuts relatively
high; everybody wants a porter
house or T-Bone steak. There are
30 pounds of these cuts in a 1000
pound live steer. There are $50
pounds of all steaks and fancy
roasts. High living of some re-
suits in many bargains to the

VieTs MIL
Teen Ayers
Organized

twenty-five boys and girls (al-
most equally divided) met at the
Viers Mill Baptist Church on Sell
fridge Road last Friday night and
organized the Viers Mill Teen
Club.
The group, which will be spon-
sored by the Viers Mill Citizens
Association, was called together by
Mrs. George Faulkner. At this or
ganizational meeting, the group
decided that the age limits should
be IS to 10.
Officer elections were held that
night and Bobby Smith was elected
president; George Edwards, vice
president; Barbara Crigger, Secre-
tary; and Mike Pelto, treasurer.
The boys and girls had an inter
esting discussion as to whether a
sergeant-at-arms should be among
the officers elected. 1t was decided
not to have that office, and that
each member should look after his
own conduct.
Dues to the group will be $500
a year, with admission to dances,
twenty-five cents. Roller skating,
wiener roasts, and bowling, as
we'll as dancing, are among the
planned activities for the new club.
They will meet each Friday even
ing. Membership is open to IS to
Is year Odds living in the
Viers Mill area. This includes those
in Wheaton City, Connecticut Ave
nue. Estates, Connecticut Avenue
Park, etc. 1t has been formed to
cover those areas not covered by
the Glenmont and Kensington teen
clubs.

meeting were donated by Mrs.
Everett of the Montgomery Delic-
atessen. Dance instruction will be
given free to the group by Mr..
Robert Anderson, dance instructor.

ton on the group may obtain it by

hostesses to nearly two hundred
members and guests of other Coun-

from this county and others at a
Lets Decorate-It's Christmas
demonstration last Thursday night.
The program was held at hte High
land Elementary School.
The demonstration was given by
Mr.. Ralph Bissonette and Mr.. F.
Irwin Finch, both of Silver Spring.
Mr.. Bissonette is president of the
Silver Spring Garden Club, and
both gentlemen are noted for their
garden club and flower show activi-
ties.
Wreaths, door pieces, table CEN
terpieces, tree decorations, favors,
and other items keynoting the holi-
day season-made from materials
easily and inexpensively available
were shown by Mr.. Bissonette
and Mr.. Finch.
Among the decorations, was a
table centerpiece for a child's
party, made by placing candy can
es around the outside of bowl,
filling the bowl with Christmas
tree balls, and topping the whole
with sprigs of holly. Metal milk
bottle caps were used to make tree
decorations by FASTING small
Christmas pictures in the center of
each cap, then FASTING the cap on
a gold paper dolly. Small candle
favors were made by fiattening
metal milk bottle tops, placing a
marshmallow on it, tiny red
candle in the marshmallow, and
fastening lifesaver to the marsh
mallow as handle. Wreaths and
doorpieces were fashioned from
everything fTc--l greens to styro-
foam and anglehair. Painted egg
shell halves with clappers made
bells for tree trimming. Many dec
orations shown were made up from
items in everyday use around the
house. .s--
There will lbe many beautifully
decorated homes and tables this
coming Christmas season, thanks
to the Lets Decorate-It's Christ
mas" demonstration.

pressions of the city without it's

Judy Rockenbach, Carla Jean
Burton, Jean Foster, Richard Mich
ener, David Johnson, Christy Hoff-
man, Ricky Temple, and Joan,
made up the party, which started
with spaghetti supper served in
the Temple basement. Following
the meal, the youngsters square
danced to records until a little af-
ter 8 pm.
Square dancing seems to be on
the upswing with the young folks
in the neighborhood, and this party
may be the first of many "just for
fun" suppers and dances.
Several new babies have arrived

Fifty boys from Montgomery
Hills Junior High and sixteen from
Blair signed up for the bowling
league being started in the Whea-
ton-Glenmont area as final count.
The boys bowled this past Wednes-
day for the first time but as this
is being written before bowling be-
gins, the results can't be given as
yet. 1t is hoped that the civic
groups in the area will get behind
this project. The boys will pay SOC
each week for the two games (af-
ter the first session which was
free), and the additional 81 to $40
it will cost will have to come from
somewhere-and not out of the
pockets of the initiators of the pro-
ject, l hope.
There was a party held for boys
of 16 and IT at the Town and
Country Inn recently, which is the
sort of thing that might be done
more often. The parent giving the
party said that the name wasn't
important, but that the idea might
be carried out oftener-and by
others.
The boys met at $3.50 pm. for a
buffet supper of sandwiches, cold
drinks, etc., and spent an enjoy
able evening "doing things" with
a wire recorder. Cost per boy was
around a dollar.
