Maybe it was Hitler, the nasti-
est paper hanger Of them all.
Or perhaps it's the do-it-your-
self fad. Whatever the cause, the

down to four pupils. and one

mlsser, is the instructor. Now
he's self-employed at the trade.
Mr.. tricks processes bewilder-
ment at the drop in interest in
his class. There is good money
In 1t, he says, and anyone who
ever paid a paper hanger to
redo the walls probably will
agree.
The current class includes
Thomas Crate. 10. and Robert

Nick Kokonis. 10. Of 1406 Shop

Career for Three
The first three aim to make
paper hanging their livelihood.
Mr.. Phillips is at 1t already, as
a customers man for a whole
sale and retail firm here.
Mr.. Phillips says he has talked
to dozens Of paper hangers about
the dull thud the business is
getting from young men.
They don't know what 1t is"
he says. They can't even find
their own assistants"
An assistant Is the fellow who
spreads the paste on the paper
and cuts the rolls so the boss
can affix them to wall and cell
ing.
Mr.. Phillips said he doesn't
intend to be a paper hanger. but
he wants to know something
about it so he can do his own
Job better.
Mr. Fricks banks on making a
living by going to the wall, paper
in hand. At loss to understand
why 80 few seem intrigued with
marrying plaster to paper. he
says his classes were always at

Knights NIGH
Is Observed
In ROckLand
BY MRS. RANDALL AUBINOE

Friday night was Knight Night
and anyone walking unexpected
ly into Twinbrook School might
have been in a daze if they hadn't
known it was Knight Night. Now
that sounds like a lot of double
talk, but actually King Arthur
and all his knights, complete
with armour and shields were
gathered Friday evening when
Pack 4S3 held it's monthly meet
ing.
The boys made all their cos
tunes and they were all very
clever, Ladies, when you use a
chore boy hereafter, and scrubb-
ing seems humdrum and I'M
glamorous, be comforted in the
fact that chore boys stretched
out make excellent coats of mail.
Maybe your Knight in Shining
Armour will look up at you from
the kettle you have polished to
cleaning brightness.
The people in Rockland are sad

Halls a proper send off and wish
them luck in their new home.
A buffet supper was served, af-
ter which a social evening was

is that Ann and Bill still will be
near enough to drop in for a
visit.

Social Security officials think
that the Trouts, who will draw

years old, reaches Is, rank at the
top of the nations farm benefi-
Charles from the program.
A farmland until recently, Mr..
Trout can earn up to 81 200 year
by working and still draw full
Social Security benefits. He isn't
sure just what work he will take
up, however.
Mr.. and Mrs. Trout have had 20
children. Four died in infancy
and four are living away from
Nome.

Include Home Health Hazards
In Spring Cleanup, Is Advice

Now that Spring has arrived,
thoughts of housekeeping, gard
ening or otherwise putting the
premises in shape come to mind.
Before these thoughts are dis
tracted' by less tedious pursuits,
action should be taken to get
rid of hidden safety hazards
which may disrupt a whole sum-
mer of happiness. With this in
mind, the Home Accident Pre-
kNention Unit of the Maryland
&State Department of Health of
fers the following suggestions.
To start with, get rid of rub
bish such as old newspapers, oily
or paint-filled rags, partially
filled cans of old paint, dust
mops,' discarded furniture, cloth
ing and the like. Oily rags and
dust mops, if improperly stored,
are capable in themselves of
bursting into flame spontaneous
ly as a result of heat generated
by chemical action. Other rub
bish stored nearby simply pro-
vides more fuel once a fire starts.
AS falls are the number one
cause of accidental injury in the
home, be particularly careful in
climbing around in the cellar or
attic. A sturdy stepladder and
plenty of light are the answer
to avoid danger here. Working
in high places outside requires
an inspection of the ladder for
cracks and other defects. This
