Fire Destroys
Old Landmark
At NIT. Lake Park

An ola LANDMARK at Mountain
Lake Park for the last 20 years
the boarding home known as the
Allenhurst, was completely de-
stroyed by fire Sunday night, max
ing four families homeless.
The destruction occurred after
Oakland firemen had gotten the
blaze under control, only to see
the flames break out again, as the
Mt. Lake Park water supply was
found to be insufficient to refill the
storage tanks of the three trucks on
hand Arrival of the Deer Park fire
truck brought another supply of
water but this was soon exhausted
and the flames quickly spread
through the entire structure.
Now owned by Arthur Warwick,
the structure had four apartments
and had an estimated value of S10-
600, although Fire Chief Emroy
Bolden said it would take at least
$4,000 to replace the building to-
day.
The blaze apparently broke out
in the rear of the structure from
an overheated stove. The alarm was
received at 1915. Water from the
tanks of two trucks was used and
at this point it seemed the blaze
was stopped, but flames ate their
way into the attic of the building
and inside partitions. Winds famed
the flames and within short time
the building was reduced to ashes.
The building contained at least
20 rooms and had been owned by
Warwick for ten years.
No one was injured in the fire
but one family had difficulty in
getting out of the building due to
the intense smoke The occupants
included Mrs. Laura Walcott, Mr.
and Mrs. Harold Evans, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ray Maybe and two children,
Mr.. and Mrs. irwin ElWood Bray
and two children. A room full of
furniture which had been stored
in the building by Jack Frantz, for
mer deputy sheriff, was destroyed
in the fire Mr. Bray is in the service
and stationed at Fort Meade His
wife and two small children are
staying at the home of Alfred Cal
lhcan They lost practically every
thing they owned
Firemen and neighbors succeeded
in getting about half of the
furnishings in the big building, but
Mr. and Mrs. Maybe lost all their
clothing and most of their furni-
ture. Mr.. Maybe who works out of
Baltimore for the Pennsylvania
railroad, left earlier that evening
on the train He returned Tuesday
and the family is staying with a
sister at Swallow Falls. Their two
children are aged 10 months and
two years. The furniture of Mrs.
| Walcott was saved.
Neighbors, relatives and friends
were gathering clothing this week
for the families that had been left
with little or nothing. The loss on
the house was about tWo-thirds COW
cred by insurance, according to
/ fire chief Bolden.
Answer Call to CrelIin
Oakland firemen also answered
a call to Crellin last Saturday eve
ming about 7:3O, at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Oscar Meats. Flames
caused damage to the extent of
about $50. The building many years
ago had been used as a pool room.
Firemen Called This Morning
Oakland firemen were called this
morning to Liberty street, near the
Acorn Associates where some
cement mixing bins were thought to
be on fire. Workmen were merely
engaged in doing some thawing
there, and somebody who saw the
flames mistook them for the begin
nings of a real fire.

This. the department said

the United States economy.
The department said that, with
production expenses up. farm op-

Cash Receipts Drop Seen
Farmers cash receipts for 1855
are expected to be down about
81 billion from the $50 billion
plus received last year.
Cash receipts from livestock

port from arriving at reasonable
answers to the questions. which
activities can best be performed
on an area-wide basis and which
can best be performed on q less

unacceptable" it concludes.
The study agrees that present
methods of distributing funds to
separate Chests is "unsatisfac-
tory" But it contends that an
attempt should not be made to
convert the federation, which 1t
says Is organized for fund-rais-

ing into Q powerful centralized
budgeting agency.
Cooperation Stressed
Instead, the study urges that
more integrated budgeting and
planning be achieved by closer
cooperation among the local
Chest budgeting groups.
Ideally, the study says, q
brand-new united welfare coun-
ell made up of local Chests, and
their budget committees should
be formed. As first step to that
goal, 1t says. the budget commit
tees Of the several Chests should
meet together to work out allo-
cations Of funds for agencies in
their respective areas.
The combined budget commit
tees of all the local Chests, after
spreading preliminary work
among various subcommittees,
would make recommendations
about each Of the six Chest bud
gets and about each Of the 100
odd agency budgets within them.
The agency recommendations
would be only advisory and
would not be binding upon the
local Chests.
The Federation would continue

3. Greater federation control
of local Chest budgets and local
planning of services.
The study. made by a 30
member District COMMITTEES
headed by Arvin E. Upton, agrees
with only one recommendation
in the July report-that urging
a United Fund. To it, the study
adds its own recommendation
that the federation take a lead
ing role in pushing the United
Fund idea and set up a perma-
nent committee to take all steps
toward that goal.
Beyond that point, however
the study finds little to agree
with in the July report.
Finances "Overemphasized"
It calls the report sadly de-
ficienta in answering basic ques-
tions about Chest operations and
charges that the deficiency is
rooted in an "overemphasis on
Chest finances" in the report. In
throwing out most Of the re-
naming recommendations in the
report and replacing them with

added. but crop receipts are ex-

Although farm production ex-

next year, the department said,
1t is unlikely this will Offset sig
nificant drop In gross income.
Supports May Decline
The department said some re-
ductions in price prop levels for
rice, cotton and corn could oc-
cur next year under the flexible
support system.
Rice now is supported at IS
per cent Of parity, cotton at 90,
per cent and corn at 81 per cent.

Ivo things that make for &4EER d1iving :!

The first and most important thing IS. you-the
driver. AS the highway safety organizations and
law enforcement agencies point out, the courtesy,
care, and common sense you show count more than
anything else You can drive any car safely-or
foolishly.
The second thing IS the car itself AH cars are
safer today. That's shown BY the number Of acci-
dents in nrelation to the number Of miles passenger
cars are driven. The figures been going down
steadily and sharply.
Chevrolet engineers and designers have always
made your safety major consideration, intro
ducing many such features as the all-steel top,
safety plate glass all around, and windsheld-wide
defrosters into the low-price field. And this '56
Chevrolet is the safest one ever built.

he's a fellow you can't give up

ready to toss in the towel on
him he'll break out in a rash of

wake up. Guess he figures he
has it made, or something. If
he changes his attitude and
Minoso starts delivering, we'll
