Install New
Gore Heel Unit

Recent installation of an auto.
matte heeling machine called the
Comet Auto-Soler" and the much
heralded core heels" now enable
Shopping Center Shoe Repair,
North Washington Street and
Wood Lane, Rockville, to perform
a new service for their customers.
Customers who visit this shop
can now get their shoes re-heeled
in 3 minutes and be on their way.
Mr.. George P. Kimmel, manager,
says that this new equipment
gets heel jobs out so fast that
other work in the shop is speeded
up, too.
In attaching core heels, the
new Comet uses soft steel wire
from a reel for making its own
fasteners which are accurately
and automatically cut to preset
ected length and imbedded deeply
into the heel at a rapid speed
faster than the eye can follow.
Fasteners are driven into the heel
in such a manner that the pointed
end loops, so as to prevent points
from working upward into the
shoe, sometimes major reason
for discomfort.

OAR Chapter
Founder HOnOred
BY Mrs. Roger J. Whiteford

When a bronze marker was pre-
sented to the Colonel Joseph Belt
Junior High School at Wheaton
by the Chevy Chase Chapter of
the Daughters of the American
Revolution, it was to honor Miss
Byrd Belt, the founder of the
chapter, of 7017 Meadow Lane, a
direct descendant of Colonel Belt.
Mrs. Eliot c. Lovett, Regent of
the chapter, made the presenta-
ton, and 10 members of the chap
ter attended; also Mrs. Hugh ".
Keiser, Maryland State historian.
Although Mrs. Belt had been i'll
recently, she was able to attend
the ceremony in her honor.
Miss Katherine Martin, one of
the factuly of the school, intro
duced Mrs. Lovett, who in turn
introduced Miss Belt. The school
band and chorus presented patri-
otto music.
Colonel Belts grandfather,
Humphrey Belt, landed in James
town in 1886 and acquired huge
land holdings in Virginia and Ma
ryland and part of 1t was that
which is now the Chevy Chase
area. Joseph Belt was born in
1850. He founded Rock Creek Par
ish in 1925 and was a member of
the House of Burgesses from 1725
to 1877 and was Justice of the
Peace in Prince Georges County.
He was a colonel in the militia
from 1725 until the time of his
death in 1761. He was a trustee
for the first Free School in Mary
land in 1926.
A large boulder at Chevy Chase
Circle is another memorial to Col
onel Belt, which has a bronze
plaque inscribed with data of his
life.
The January meeting of the
chapter will be held at the home
of the Regent, Mrs. Lovett, CLOS
Kennedy Drive, when the Mary
land State Regent, Mrs. Thomas
Stevens George of Baltimore, and
the State officers will be the hon.
or guests. Assisting luncheon
hostesses will be Mrs. Victor
Harding, Mrs. Edwin c. James,
Mrs. Robert Kline, and Mrs. Dun
can Wall.

Department Of Agriculture Has Surplus
Food Available For Reservations

Montana's Senator, James E.
Murray, recently asked Cover
nor J. Hugo Aronson, "What
steps the state government is
taking to assure prompt distri-
button of surplus foods when the
need arises?"
Murray recalled the serious
shortages that developed on the

during these emergencies he and
other members of the Montana
delegation contacted officials of
Indian affairs and Department
Of Agriculture in an effort to
have surplus foods made avail.

Possibly because there was not
sufficient advance preparation,
Murray stated, the surplus foods
which were available in Montana
were not distributed when ur.

Murray advised Aronson that
this fall two federal agencies
had been asked what plans they
had to distribute surplus foods,

Emmons said the Bureau has
considered that the most effect.
i've use of the limited funds avail.
able for its welfare program is
for cash assistance to meet all
needs. including provisions for
food. for members of tribes that
do not possess resources from
which to finance their own assis-
lance programs. and for whom
State and County funds for as.
sistance are not available.
Emmons said the Bureau has
facilitated arrangements in some
states for Indian tribes to enter
into negotiations with the desig.
mated state agency for the tribes
to assume responsibility for the
surplus food commodity program
on their own reservations.
He pointed out that the Black.
feet tribe finances its own vel.

Emmons further assured Sena.
tor Murray that the Bureau will
continue to keep In close touch

people on the reservations in

1858 Soil Bank
Program Offers
Many Benefits

Montana farmers who are
thinking a h e a on their 1858
plans should keep in mind the
benefits they can receive from
taking part in next years Soil
Bank programs. Leo S. Kolstad,
State Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation Administration
officer, said this week.
Kolstad pointed out that the
signup period for the Conserva-
ton Reserve is now and will
continue until April IS; the sign
up for the spring wheat Acreage
Reserve program will begin jan
uary Is and end March 7.
Both soil bank programs re-
quire the establishment of a Soil
Bank base" Kolstad explained,
and it is important that farmers
understand the meaning of the
term as we'll as of several others.
Another term which must be
understood in order to meet re-
qulrement OF Soil Bank programs
Is permitted acreage"
The Soil Bank base" for a
farm Is the average of Soil Bank
base crops grown on the farm
for the two preceding years. (Soil
Bank base crops, in general. are
all crops harvested on the farm
except hay)
permitted acreage" the sec.
ond important term, is the farm
acreage on which Soil Bank crops
may be grown without violation
of Conservation Reserve con-
tracts or Acreage Reserve agree
ments covering the farm. The
permitted acreage Is made up of
the Soil Bank base acreage less
the acreage put into the Acreage
and Conservation Reserve pro.
grams.
