the wax doesn't wear on.

caked wax. but isn't there
some other way?
Now, as to. cleaning an
aluminium pot--one to two
teaspoons OF cream Of tartar

an aluminium pan so II could

I suggest an alternate plan.

I purchased q small euam-
eled pan to use for boiling
eggs. II was very inexpensive
and boiling water in 1t caused
no discoloration. Should 1t be
stained by something else. o
little liquid bleach will re.
move the stain quickly.

Included in the speech was

To this. Mrs. Buchholz replied

DR.. Blevins said he agreed
with the ABC policy goali
recited by Mr.. Raul but
objected to the implication thai
nothing along this line hac
been carried out when the con-
servatives were In control. He
sal dhe would certainly co-op-
crate as fully as his own beliefs
allowed.
A section Of the policy speech
dealt with the role of County
Manager A. T. Lundberg
The ABC members said they
will give Mr.. Lundberg their
complete support and at the
same time expect him to carry
out their policies.
Mr.. Lundberg commented
that the county administration
staff has been working toward
these objectives-to make Ar
lington a better community
all along.
Then Mr.. Lundberg said that
II the board calls for the execu-
ton Of any policies which con.
fiict with my idea for the best
interests Of all the people

The board yesterday also
elected Mr.. Krupsaw as vice

"a Million Predicted
In Baltimore Area by rs

/ BALTIMORE. Jan. ? Up
/ An economic forecaster has
predicted sharp growth for the
Baltimore Metropolitan Area
between now and 1875.
BY that year he said. the
area will have an increase in
employment of 100000 Jobs. II
also will have an increase in
population Of million people,
The predictions were made
by Ernest Jurkat Of Marketers

Mr.. Jurkat's report was made

mated by the Department Of
Employment Security. TIL e
metropolitan area includes
Baltimore City and Anne Arun-
del and Baltimore counties.
The 1875 population OF the
area was forecast as "a million,
and increase Of one million
persons over 1850. That would
be an 80 per cent growth in
IS years.
Population is. expected to
increase at a more rapid rate
than employment for three
reasons the report said: These
are: l. There will be a large
proportion Of children in the

large increase in the number
Of aged persons because of in
creased life expectancy; 3. In

Mr.. FRESHMAN contends In

be held TO determine:
!. II the proposed new rates
are fair and reasonable.
2. If proper payments are
being made TO participating
hospitals.
3. If current operating exc

The petitions ask that sub
scribers be given an oppor-
tunity to present evidence that
the rates are not fair and
reasonable. Mr.. FRESHMAN saio
he was not yet in position TO
discuss what the evidence
would be.
The Baltimore attorney, Who
Is noted for his frequent law
suits in behalf of citizen in

not require a public hearing.
He said the law does require
approval Of the insurance
commissioner, however. before
the rate increases can be put

And certainly that should
not be done without a public
hearing" he declared.
He said he expected to hear
from Mr.. Jackson today on the
