The second annual PTA Fair,
which was a colorful climax to
many weeks of planning and
hard work, transformed Twin
brook School into a gay carnival
scene on May Is. Strolling about
the classrooms, the large crowd
enjoyed the many interesting ex-
hibitS of handicraft, a mart of
thriving plants, a bake sale, a
fortune teller, many clever games
of chance, a cartoon theater, fire.

lucky parents of the children
who won the black puppies and
tiny kittensD, a white elephant
table, a handiwork table, a post
office with packages from many
places, and a busy snack bar.
A top feature of the fair was a
professional magic show given
by Mr.. and Mrs. James Copp.
The ever-popular pony ring was
surrounded by a long waiting
line all afternoon. One room was
crammed with playpens filled
with small tots chaperoned by
the Girl Scouts for twenty-five
cents head.
In spite of the inclement wea-
ther earlier in the afternoon and
a misunderstanding by many
that the fair had been cancelled,
a profit of $3.50 was totalled at
the end of the successful day.
Chairman of the affair was
Maurice Deul, assisted by Mrs.
Leo Mccarthy, Mrs. Henry Red
key and Mrs. Dean Merrill. In
charge of the various booths
were: Mrs. Donald Roush, plant

Rural Life Sunday Seeks
Gods Blessing on Land

"4-H Club Sunday"--emphasiz
ing the meaning of Christianity
in rural life--wlll be observed
this Sunday.
Better known as Rural Life
Sunday" the day will be marked
by church organizations seeking
the blessing of God upon the
land, the seed, the cultivation of
the earth and the enrichment of
home and community life.
All Maryland All clubs have
been urged to take part in this
years observance by w. Sherard
Wilson, State All Club leader of
Maryland university's extension
service.
The annual observance occurs
the fifth Sunday after Easter and
is closely linked with the Roga-
ton Days, celebrated for centur-
les in the Christian church dur
ing the three days preceding AS
cension Day.
Originally, they had several
emphases, but gradually the pray
er for Gods blessing upon the
fruits of the earth came to be
the main event.
Rogation Days first were OBJ
served by st. Mamertus, Bishop
of Vienna in Gaul some time
prior to A. D. AIS.
IN A. D. 511, they were or
dered observed throughout
France, and in A. D. TAT, were
established in England by church
action.
Alfred the Great held them in
deep reverence and included them
among the most important of
hold days. They were established
in Rome by Leo III about the
end of the Eighth century.
The idea of Rogation Days,
however, is of much more an
cient origin. In the earliest days
Of Egypt, the ceremony of bless
ing the land and the seed at the
time of planting was widely OBJ
served.

| New Push-Button
Fuse Box Replaces
Old Style Mechanism
BY D. M. Derwin

Many homes built within the
last few years have automatic
circuit breakers to protect house
wiring and appliances from short
circuits and overloadS, but thous-
ands of older homes and almost
all rural electric installations
still are protected by the old type
fuses which blow and must be re-
placed each time they burn out.
Often that means cropping in the
dark with matches. candle or

Heat Operated Device.
In size, it looks like the old
one time only fuse. but this
new electric circuit breaker is
a heat-operated device which,
instead of melting has q bimetal
element which merely expands
and trips a trigger mechanism
which instantly shuts of the
current.
The breaker stays of until the
little white button at its center
is pushed, resetting the mocha
nism. Of course. if the line is
still short-circuited. the break

giving warning of electrical

Down in January

Stump Program Still Unonnounced

The new stamp program for
1854 still remains unannounced.
Many ideas have been con-
sidered by Post Office De-
partment officers. but UP to the
close Of business last Friday
afternoon nothing final had
been decided. One cause Of the
delay is the fact that Post

about proceeding without the
specific authority of his chief.
Another reason why the pro-
gram Is tardy has been the
fruitless experiments with roto
printing, now apparently aban-
doned at least for the present.
But it nevertheless is feasible
to visualize at least a few of
the stamps likely to be issued
this year. The list obviously
begins with the Scent Statue
of Liberty stamp for overseas
airmail use, the design show
ing the skyline of New York
in the background and carry
ing the inscription I'm God

almost certain to be produced
is a Scent label for the ter
