Directly behind the entrance
is the pine-paneled, 13 by 18 foot
dining room. Three small win

complete the dining room, Mr..
Robertson built bookshelves into
one wall, and buffet into
another.
Then he made a siX-place table
of plywood, designed with x.legs,
so there is plenty of leg room.
The dining room leads into the
kitchen through a doorway that
was originally window.
The screened back porch, which
measures about 25 by 13 feet,
opens off both the kitchen and
the dining room. And for good

Before the opening day of
school, though, comes Labor Day.
And barring hurricane or
similar catastrophe, l shall be in
Gaithersburg for the big parade.
I'm a firemen's-parade addict
from way back-can't keep away
from them. I'll probably get
beaten into taking one of my
small cousins, all of whom in
tend to be firemen when they
grow up.
If your children have the same
ambition, take them to the
parade. They'll love it - and l
bet you will too. Speaking of
ambitions, l heard a clever one
the other day. A four-year-old
offspring of one of my cronies
confessed that he had given up
the fire-fighting profession in
favor of being cowboy. So l
suggested that he be a cowboy
fulltime, and volunteer fireman
part-time. He thought that was
fine idea, and plans to major
in cowboying and minor in fire
naming.
Anyway, back to Gathers
burg - Jim Spring, at the Cal
thersburg Paint and Hardware
Co., tells me he's going to
stage kings sale on Labor
Day. Just about everything in
the store, l understand, will
have lowered price tags. Might
be good idea to stop i'm there
on the way to or from the
parade.

assorted livestock, all sorts of

And SO, with the first of Sep
TENDER, comes the annual hasSle
to get the small members of the
household into proper shape to
set foot inside a school building.
They've outgrown all of last
years clothes, there isn't a pen
Gil in the house, and the lunchboX
has been serving as breakfast
bar for the cat
To try to make things a little
easier, 1 kept a special lookout
for back-tO-schOOl items on my
shopping tour this week. If
you go to Murphy's, in Rock
vile, you can get almost every
thing you need to put the kids
on the road to education. They
have school supplies, lunch
boxes, even clothes.
For shoes to put on those sun
burned, bee-stung feet, check
Jaye'S Bootery in Rockville. Pro-
prietor Joe Steirberg is specially
stocked up for school, featuring
Poll Parrot shoes. He also has
official Boy Scout shoes, correc,
tive shoes, gym shoes, play shoes
etc. And he and his assistants
are very proud of the fact that
they won't sell a pair of shoes
unless they really fit right.
If you live around GaitherSburg
or Damascus, shop the Ben
Franklin stores in those commu-
mites for your backto-school
needs. If you have an older
daughter, who, like me, has been
looking and looking and looking
for bobby-socks that stay up
when you turn them up, the Ben
Franklin stores have them. l
bought three pairs the other
week, and they're fine.
Needless to say, these shops
have many other items, all the
way from ball-point pens to hair
ribbons. They're nice places to
shop, too.
Oh almost forgot. I've
found a place that specializes in
hair-dos for teen-age girls. No
more of this business of sending
your daughter to the beauty shop
and having her come home look
ing like something out of a New
York cocktail lounge.
You can send your daughter
to the Olney Beauty Shop to get
rid of that straggley pony tail,
and be sure she'll come back

STEVE j. NOVAK, PRES.

II was in this column back on
July 16, 1854 that we first men
toned the work the National
Chamber of Commerce is doing to
help communities attract new in
dustry. We gave an outline of the
Chambers survey which showed in
dollars and cents the benefits a
community can reap The survey
showed that for each 100 new in
dustrial jobs, there will be a net
gain of "a new jobs in other lines
of work. Dollar-Wise, 100 new fac
tory jobs would raise retail sales
by $4,000 year, personal income
by $590,000 and bank deposits by
$270,000.
Last Thursday evening Port Gin
ton Chamber Of Commerce had as
their speakers, members of that
Committee who have helped TO
compile and distribute this inter-
esting information These men
gave detailed report on the eff
feet Of a new industry on a COM
munity; how to prepare the COM
munity to attract new industries;
and the actual rewards such pro-
gram can bring to the community.
This program if adopted and
carried through properly can bene-
Fit everyone in the community. By
attracting new industry or encour
aging the expansion of present in
dustry here, we can help to put
workers back to work. No self-re-
Specting labor union would turn
down the chance to work and CO.
operate with other organizations
to achieve that goal.
The Chamber Of Commerce
speakers stressed the Importance
of enlisting the aid of every club
and organization in such cam
paign. They pointed out the hard
work on the part OF many people
that will be involved. Also stressed
was the idea that to gain expansion
of an existing industry is worth
even more than to bring in a new
industry.
An industry worthwhile will not
need to be bribed in any way. Any
kind of bribery or selfish interests
involved would wreck the program
quicker than anything A worth
while industry will expect to pay
fair price for property and a
decent wage to good workers. They
simply want the facts, a well or
ganized plan for industry and a
good spirit of cooperation from the
community.
1t is a program we would like
to see put in motion and we are
willing to take active part. How
ever, one or even few cannot do
the job. The program must not be
missuSed by glory seekers. To

Guaranteed Annual Wage
Questions and Answers

(Here are the tIrst few of the
questions most frequently asked
about the Guaranteed Annual Wage
- and their answers)
/. HOW WILL the Guaranteed
Employment Plan protect UAW
members?
Ans: The Plan will give employers
an incentive to schedule pro-
duction so as to avoid short
workweeks If an employer fails
to do so, it will protect the
workers by assuring them 40
hours pay for such weeks.
1t will stimulate employers to
plan production so as to provide
stable employment the year
round. 1t will protect the work
ers by guaranteeing them an
income sufficient to maintain
their living standards during
layoffs lasting as long as full
year.
2. HOW WILL the Guaranteed
Employment Plan help all the
people?
Ans: BY providing steadier pur-
chasing power, the plan will
help the butcher, the baker and
all those who depend on the
ability of workers to buy. BY
encouraging companies in our
industries to stabilize produc-
ton, it will help to promote
steadier employment in all the
other industries supplying UAW
plants.
The plan will encourage en-
ployers to work for improved
unemployment CO mpensation,
thus benefiting all workers who
may become unemployed.
1t will stimulate employers to
support rather than oppose ma
tional policies that will help
maintain full production and
full employment to the benefit
Of everyone.
