THE HIGHER
THE FEWER
There's Always Plenty Of Room
At The Top
BY
NANCY ]. MIDGET

The Bells still ring-and will ring
on through mists of time,
Not always bold and clear as
Christmas chimes,
But sometimes softly on the ear,
or only
In memory, from days long past.
And when one bell rests still, an
other
Out across this pulsing world,
Will fill the air with music, glad
or sorrowful,
A call for thanks, for help, for
mercy.
The Bells may speak in many
tongues, to many ears,
To many ages; from the tender
years when school bells
Calling, fill the air with fleeting
hurry and shouts,
To the muted keening for loved
one gone,
That flows below the tolling of a
Dell.
Because the Christmas Bell rings
yet again
To herald in the Light and Hope
of man,
The lesser Bells renew their
strength and rhythm
And through another four fold sea-
sons turn, bring
To the listening world their mes
sages, as each do hear;
Faith to the Lord and to myself,
Hope, Duty,
Charity,-all these together bound
form Love,
The Christmas message that the
Bells, peal upon peal
Sound DER the searching earth.

Homemade Mixes
Save Time, Labor

DRY MIXES FOR biscuits or other
quick breads are time and labor savers
in getting meals, as every modern
homemaker knows. Mixes made at
home using milk powder can be espe-
"ialIy helpful in putting more milk into
family diets.
Breads often contain less than cup
of milk to each cup of flour but may
offer much more milk nourishment if
dry milk is included. Such mixes are
inexpensive for the milk value they
give.
Here are some recipes for mixes
which can be made UP and stored in
the cupboard, ready for use in a jiffy.
Measured amounts can be stored in
pint or quart jars and so labeled to
save time when preparing the dish.
Recipe can also be written on paper
and pasted to jar.
Biscuit mix: cups sifted flour, cup
dry milk, whole or nonfat, "a cup
baking powder, teaspoons salt, 1 cup
fat "a kind that needs no refrigeration) /.
For a richer biscuit, increase amount
of fat to III cups.
Sift dry ingredients together three
times. Cut or rub in fat until thorough

jars or tin cans without packing. Close

BOOKER T.
WASHINGTON
PHILOSOPHY
PUBLISHED

Sidney j. Phillips, president,
Booker T. Washington Centen-
NAL Commission, today released
the first in a series of messages
to the American public. He re-
minded them that "a house di-
vided against itself shall not
stand" and pleaded for goodwill
between the races while solving
problems affecting the nation as
a result of the Supreme Courts
decision.
The Booker T. Washington Cen
tennial Commission came into ex-
istence in April of this year to
pay tribute to the One Hundredth
Anniversary of the birth of Book
er T. Washington who was born
in Franklin County, Va, April 5,
1856. A year-long program has
been arranged to focus the atten-
ton of the nation upon the pres
ent day value of the fundamental
teachings of this great American.
Mr.. Phillips recalled that it was
a little more than 81 years ago,
in an address at the Cotton States
Exposition in Atlanta, Ca, that
Booker T. Washington said, "There
is no defense or security for any
of us except in the highest intel
ligence and development of ALL"
This admonition delivered before
a critical audience in 1895, APP
plies with equal force today. Ger
tainly the need for unity is just
as strong as ever.
Urging communities to pull to-
gether for the solution of race
problems, Mr.. Phillips stated that
"Hate and mistruSt may be WHIP
ed out if representatives of va
rious groups will meet, discuss
and work together to find answers
to the problems that are causing
racial sores to testers"

Miss Humphrey
Has Not Replied

Miss Charlotte A. Humphrey
has not replied to City of Rock
vile request to lease a strip Of
her property at 237 E. Montgom-
cry Avenue as a walkway be-
tween new city parking lot and
the business section.
City Palmer Robert L. PLAY.
nick said this week he's received
no reply to his letter of May q
asking Miss Humphrey to lease
the city for three years a six-foot
wide strip connecting the new city
lot behind the Quality Shop and
Steinberg's Department Store
with East Montgomery Ave.
The city has previously reject.
ed an offer from Miss Humphrey
to sell the rear of her property
for public parking lot at $500
a square foot. The city believes
the price too high.
The complete text of Mr.. PLAY
hicks letter:
Dear Miss Humphrey:
THE city of Rockville desires
to develop the rear of the Stein
berg and Grossman lots on a
short-term basis as a parking lot.
In order for this lot to provide
spaces accessible to the Mont.
gomery Ave. shops it would be
necessary to have pedestrian
way from these lots to the
street. Since it is impossible to
do so through either of these
lots, the City is turning to you.
Would you be willing to lease,
for three years, a strip of land,
six feet wide along the southern
boundary adjacent to Steinberg
store) for this pedestrian way?
The city would properly fence
and screen your property
"As you know the commercial
parking problem on Montgomery
Avenue is more acute as the out
lying shopping centers begin to
develop. 1t is most important
that parking spaces be provided
if we are going to attempt to
retain the values of property in
the Central Business District.
The City realizes that you
have previously refused to lease
your rear property. However,
this proposal would result in lit
tie, If any, damage to your prop
erty or its locations, since no part
would be used for vehicle park.
ing or driveways."
