Quire more rigid accounting of
expenditures.
The vote followed party lines.
end the Republican opponents
were given until Tuesday to file
o minority report.
Senator Barrett, Republican.
Of Wyoming, said one Of the
chief objections was that the bill
goes too far in attempting to
regulate every county committee
that spends 500 or more in
campoign.
Senator Barrett said it may
become necessary to erect
another Office building on Capt.
tol Hill in which to file all the
reports that would come into
Washington under this bill.
One of the main features of
the bill would raise the So mil
lion ceiling the present law i'm
poses on all national political
committees. This limit has been
of no practical effect because
the law does not prohibit the
formation of several Nationwide
committees by obth parties, each
allowed to raise SO million.
The HenningS bill permits a
national committee to raise
money at the rate of 20 cents
for each vote cast in any of the
last three elections. On the
basis of 1852 this would allow
each committee more than $12I
million. While the new bill
still does not limit the number
of committees. The theory is
that with the highe ceiling there
would be no necessity to multi
ply committees.

Health for ALI

tuberculosis has many person
alities. It can affect all parts of
the body and show as many diff
ferent symptoms. 1t can, in fact,
show no symptoms at all.
Even in one area, the chest for
example, tuberculosis can take on
different personalities. One type
moves insidiously in the early
stages, coming into the open
only after months of activity. An
OTHER type moves swiftly from in
lection to acute disease. Still
third and far from uncommon
type-progresses lazily for years
without apparent symptoms,
causing no particular discomfort
to alarm its victims.
This last type of TB is not as
harmless as it sounds. AS it
gradually broWses down through
the lungs, it tends to involve
large areas. Ignored because it
gives its host very little trouble,
it may suddenly convert into an
acute, rapidly progressive form
of tuberculosis. Treatment begun
at this point, when the patient is
obviously very ill, may be able
to arrest the disease and prevent
death. But the victim may spend
the rest of his life as a semi
invalid.
tuberculosis can never be TAX
en- lightly, as "just a mild case"
Just because the typical symp-
toms are not present in this in
dolent type, does not mean that
no harm is being done. Not only
is the disease spreading more.
widely within the lung, it may
be spread outside. Those with
whom the patient comes in daily
contact, his family, friends, and
business associates, are threaten
ed with infection. Treatment
should always be started as soon
as tuberculosis is discovered.
The disease can be discovered,
even though there may be no
symptoms to send the victim of
"lazy Tb" running to the doctor.
This is where the regular physi-
cal examination and chest X-ray
comes in. The best way to pre-
vent tuberculosis from getting
out Of hand is that annual check
up by the family doctor.

Mr.. Morris stressed the impor-

said.
Mr.. Morris pointed out that
an appraisal of the needs of no
agencies in the six Chests actu-
ally totaled $5.4 million. This
includes the USO.
While the general economy is
brighter, thousands of National
Capital area citizens will turn to
Red Feather agencies for serv-
ices for help, guidance or relief
in the year ahead, Mr.. Morris
asserted.
when we read about pay
raises, the boom in building and

observed.

general chairman declared.

Since books failed to reveal

until her death in 1915.

Wheaton Lady ErceLs
In 'TOle' Painting Art

PhylisS Van Auken of Whea-
ton is quite a talented woman.
She got her ABB at Tufts Uni
versity for music and sang two
summers with the University
Gilbert and Sullivan Company
touring New England summer
theaters.
Her hobby is early American
decoration, commonly referred
to as "tole" painting. She only
took up this craft six years ago
in Boston, while her mother was
studying the art under Elsa Myr-
deem. In the short span of years
she has won several prizes for
her trays.
She also studied briefly with
Walter Wright of Vermont, one
of the leading teachers in the
field.
When one of the local papers
asked if there was anyone in the
vicinity who could teach this
work to a few interested read
erS, Phyllis answered the call and
now teaches the art.
Of course there have been
some sacrifices for her art. She
and her husband were rabid
ping pong players. But now the
ping ping table is the work shop
covered with trays, old tin,
paints, brushes, etc.
Phyllis says that her hobby
brings her great deal of salts
faction because you can adapt
and adapt. Early American
decoration and restoration as
practiced today is a revival of
an art or craft which originated
in the Orient.
During the latter part of the
seventeenth century it was prac-
ticed in Great Britain, and the
metal tray was first developed
in Pontypool, Wales, replacing
the early Japanned article of
wood and papier mache. Early
trays were decorated with de-
signs in color, bronze, powders
and gold leaf.
Esther Stevens Brager devoted
more than 20 years to the study
and practice of the subject of

1t is impossible to do a decent
column in this heat
1t is also impossible for a low
cub reporter as myself to shun
social activities in this heat.
These two related facts are
hereby certified to be the honest
truth.
Each morning after I've had
that first cup of coffee, l check
the weather report to learn if
it will be a warm day, hot humid
day, rainy humid day, or just a
day in which l can gather facts
for my Wheaton Glenmont
column.
No matter how many calls
try to make, l find either that
no one is home, or that l can't
hear my neighbor, or 7 try to
make every attempt to get my
fellow Wheatonite to talk about
his activities. All we seem to
do is discuss the weather.
If / drop in on some of my
good contacts to learn what is
new, again l pass the time away
delightfully."- but not productivity.

l never had chance of writing
a column. Everyone just looks
at me and says, "Oh, it's just too
hot.

Great. That does it, No air.
conditioning for me.
Certainly other Wheaton Glen
moniteS manage through this
beastly weather. Let's make the
rounds and find out just what the
active members of our commu.
nifty have been doing to beat the
heat.
The Chrapaty's of Glenmont
had the right idea. They had
one of these stay-at-home vaca,
tions. They visited Cacapon
State Park of West Virginia one
day, Sugar Loaf Mountain
another day. Not only did they
manage to see many of the sights
they've been planning for years,
but Yvonne had a real vacation
from the kitchen.
One of the highlights of this
plan was the trip to Gettysburg.
They were able to take in all of
Gettysburg, have lunch there,
drive down into the Pennsyl-
vania Dutch country, have dinner
in Lancaster. Pa, and be back
in Glenmont by 10 pm. that
night.
Denise, Clifton and Ilona loved
every day and most of all were
happy to be able to sleep in their
own beds each night. Mrs. Chra.
patty felt they could do such much
and yet never really leave home.
Best of all she kept up with all
of the news through her weekly
