Community Chest
Cuts County Funds
In Current Budget

A $4,000 cut in appropriations
of the Montgomery County Com
munity Chest and Council agen-
cies was made with the adoption
of a $1S0,274 budget for 1854 by
the Board of Trustees, last week.
The decrease is necessitated be-
cause this year the County Chest
received $179,536 compared to
$184 sos in 1853 from the Chest
Federation in Washington where
the latter did not meet its goal.
Appropriations from the Fedora
ton have been cut 4 percent in all
member Chests.
Under the new budget the II

agencies supported by the Coun-
ty Chest will each receive 31s
percent slash in their ALLEGATIONS.
They had requested total OF
$279,936 for this year. Adoption
of the budget was made upon
the recommendation of Edward
]. Fitzgibbon, chairman of the
budget committee whose ID mem
bers spent three weeks at agency
hearings to determine proposed
budget to the Board of Trustees.
To meet the $190,274 figure the
Board voted to take $4,000 from
its $4,000 special reserve fund.
Chest leaders said $4,000 coun-
tians contributed S144.470, or
1912 percent over the quota in
last Falls drive.
Commenting on the cut for the
County, David Scull, Chest presi-
dent, stated: THE only way to
clean up the annoyance of multi
pie drives in Washington is for
everyone to give enough the first
time. If we don't give them
enough together, they are going
to get it separately"
Despite the cut, the percentage
breakdown will be proportioned
the same as last year. In recrea-
tional and group work the Chests
seven agencies will get 38 per
cent; the three health agencies %
percent; welfare % percent and
II percent goes to Chest and
Planning which includes 8 per
cent for campaign and 3 percent
for year round administration
and planning.
ALLEGATIONS to the member
agencies under this years budget
are as follows: Boy Scouts, $13

This is a continuation of the
pOint-by-pOint discussion of the
program of the Rockville Board
of Trade for 1854.
More than a year ago in an
nouncing the plans for the first
year of operation of the Rock
vile Board of Trade, the estab-
lishment of a farmers market in
Rockville was listed as a long
range objective, one that was not
hoped to be fully accomplished
during the first year, but upon
which work would be started. AT
ter the formation of standing
committees work on this part of
the program was assigned to the
Liaison Committee under the
craftsmanship of ]. Hodge Smith
This committee set to work ex-
ploring the subject of farmers
markets and established contacts
with appropriate State and Coun-
ty agencies which could offer
guidance and assistance in ac-
complishing our objective. At the
time of the Annual Meeting of
the Rockville Board of Trade last
November, Mr. Smith reported
that his committee had received
excellent information through
these contacts and that the Uni
versity of Maryland, in particu-
lar, had been most cooperative in
supplying information and in Of
fering further assistance as the
project developed. In setting up
the Board of Trade program for
1854 one of the announced OBJ
jectlVeS was to continue work on
this project.
Recently announcement was
made by Arthur c. Hyde, a mem
Der of the Rockville Board of
Trade and owner of the Congress
sional Airport and other prop
critics in the area, that he plan
ned to build a farmers market
in the airport area in the near
future. Discussion between Mr..
Hyde, Mr.. Smith, and the Execu-
tive Director revealed that the
farmers market will be planned
to meet the latest developments
in the field, and while it will be
patterned after the most modern
of such markets, it will also
capitalize on mistakes made in
the construction of earlier mar
kets of this type.
The Liaison Committee of the
Rockville Board of Trade has
made available to Mr.. Hyde ma
terial which it has collected on
the subject of farmers markets,
including reports revealing the
shortcomings of certain other &C.
ttvities of this nature. H
>n'Now a meeting of the Liaison
Committee with Mr.. Hyde to dis
cuss the progress of his venture
has been set up for Thursday
evening, March 4. Also present
at this meeting will be repre-
sentatives of the University OF
Maryland, who are authorities on
the ssubject and who will offer
advice and assistance.

Exercise of the franchise by Mr.. and Mrs John O. Pub

state national that the ordinary citizen performs his
supreme function in maintaining a healthy nation.
No American reasonably argue that he is good
citizen if he fails to utilize the right of casting his ballot
right which millions of and women in other
possess
Yet sad to report all too many Americans, many
of whom would be hurt at the suggestion that they
not good citizens at least good they should
be-ail to this great opportunity to share in the
making of their government Not only should all who
have the right to vote exercise it but they should fol-
low it up by watching the records of their elected Of
ficials.
This watchfuness by the ordinary citizen is as i'm
poant to the mayor of his small town or big city, and
the governor state senators and representatives it
is in his watchfuneSs and interest in what his U.s. Sem
ator and Congressman the President do after they

q. How can / remove tar from
fabrics?
A. To remove tar or grease
stains from any material without
injuring the fabric, apply little
eucalyptus oil with a flannel
cloth; rub gently until spot disap-
pear. Or, rub little lard, kero-
sene, sweet oil, or butter on the
snots; let them stand a few hours,
then wash with soap and warm
water.
@. How can 1 prevent ripping of
seams when sewing on the mach
inc?
A. Intsead of tying the ends of
the threads when stitching, mere
ly turn the goods and stitch back
about an inch. This will make a
neat finish, and neither will the
hem rip.
Q. How can / make an attrac-
tive garnish for salads?
A. Cook two eggs until hard, re-
move the shells and let them stand
in vinegar, in which beets have
been picked. The result will be an
attractive shade of red, and when
sliced will look pretty against the
green lettuce leaves.

Echo From
Puerto Rico
By ELGIVA BALL


(Miss Bail is in Puerto Rico
with a group of American teach
ers, studying the country with
view to helping their Puerto Ri
can students in their adjustment
to American life.)
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO,
(GlobaD-What do you do on a
field workshop tour? You tour! The
trips are interesting and education
al. Take, for instance, our recent
tour to Barranquitas.
1t was a day of Fiesta (festivity)
in honor of Luis MunoZ Rivera, the
father of Luis Munoz Marin, the
present and first elected governor
of Puerto Rico. Senor Luis Munoz
Rivera was the leader instrumental
in obtaining from Spain the char
ter of Autonomy in 1897 which
gave Puerto Rico dominion status.
We arrived at Barrinquitas by
long, narrow winding road up the
mountain, just in time to hear the
Governors speech from the bal
cony of la Acadia (City HalD
Then, eevn though it was raining
he came down and stood in the
square while several bands took
turns playing. He smiled and shook
hands with the crowd, and gra-
ciously gave us his autograph.
Following the music, children
from the school in Caguas pre-
sented several Spanish dances and
no one seemed to mind the rain.
At this point, we departed for
the home of Senator and joined
in a pig roast. Jabaras (peasants)
furnished the music there, and the
highlight of the day was when the
Governor danced with the Mayor
esS. We met the President of the
House of representatives and many
top government officials.
All in all, we have found the peo-
pie very friendly and always will
ing to hep. Even on our first night
meanderings we had no fears. The
fact that one cannot speak Span
ish is of little concern, for nearly
all of the Islanders speak English.
The children begin learning it in
the third or fourth grades, after
they have first learned to read in
Spanish.
Looking around us, seeing the
breath-takingly beautiful scenery,
and getting to know some of the
wonderful and friendly people, it
is difficult to imagine how some
people back in the States could
have been so discouraging about
the trip. We wish it were possible
for these people to come with us
and spend little time in the at
mOsphere we have enjoyed these
past few weeks. 1t would give them
much better understanding of the
Puerto Rican people and their
country.
When we speak ofo ur adven-
lures and experiences here, it may
sound to many like pure pleas
ure trip. Of course, all of it is a
pleasure, but it is an easy way also
to learn history and come to know
people. Someone once said "travel-
ing is for the rich" Of course we
think they were wrong. Travelling
on a limited budget throws one
into contact with all sorts of peo-
pie and makes for much richer ex-
periences. 1t gives one a better
understanding of people, and
brings about the realization that
all people have much in common.
