there are innumerable extra
contractual benefits that
make the Union truly a
House of Brotherhood.
This record of unparalleled
munificences has however, in
some few cases, elected de-
mands or expectations for the
absurd. To illustrate a case in
point, we recently received a
call from a nest manager ask
ing for advice on what to do

Alack and alas, we had to
admit that even the CFU

erous and stay in business.
The Society has built an en-

difficult, but We'll be the first
to admit that the impossible
will take a little studying.

US. Planning
To Transfer
Polar Base

NEW YORK, July 5 (P).-
The United States repeatedly is
planning to transfer possession
Of Ellsworth Station, its base on
the Weddell Sea in Antarctica,
to Argentina, the New York
Times said today.
According to official sources,
the newspaper said, part of the
American personnel will be
evacuated during the next Ant
arctic summer in a transcon-
tinental air and tractor jour-
ney to Little America.
Noting that Ellsworth Sta
tion lies in the sector that has
been hotly disputed between
Great Britain and Argentina,
the Times said:
Presumably President Eisen-
hower's plan for a treaty to
freeze Antarctic claims has made
it possible to carry out such a
transfer without an outcry."
The present Argentina base,
about 40 miles east of Ellsworth
Station, is said to be less fully
equipped and may ultimately
be closed down, the story con-
tinued.
The future of the only other
outpost on the Weddell Sea,
Britain'S Royal Society Scien-
tific station at HALEY Bay, also
was said to be uncertain.
The United States already
has completed arrangements to
transfer Wilkes Station, on the
opposite side of Antarctica, to
Australia. Should this country
turn over Ellsworth Station to
the South American nation,
this would limit American ac-
tivities to the South Pole itself
and to the sector south of the
Pacific Ocean.

Using EAe WeMEE'e"

Difficult it is to believe some Of politicians are
using the weather for political advantage They pretend
ing that they carry weight claiming to be responsible
for getting their roads opened without delay.
Several individuals have related the tale, there
must be Something to it.
Here's the way the story goes. certain individual calls
up the County Roads department in the evening to find out
where the pows expecting to operate the following day
Having received this information he will call certain individ
ua in the certain road and ASK SIS your road open y
When the replies that is not the individual then
says, "II see about that right away"
of the next morning the pillow arrives and opens
the road and the farmer he doesn't take time to think this
thing through that the individual carries lot of weight
and carries out his promises
1t would normally carry through that when the primary
rolls around people would be inclined to vote for the
didates this certain individual baksregardess OF the
fact that they far from being better qualified.
Such activities about low plane person
can get this going to be the only low action at
tempted during this years elections. There will be many
such and going take keen insight for the voters to
through this camoufage If not mighty careful this
year the county will be burdened with number OF unqua
fled and Enthusiastically people in office Lies will be broad
cast than hops and going to be up to the voters to
sift through them and get at the truth

Number of Calls

The Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone company officials said
yesterday that their company is
handling the highest volume of
calls in this county this month that
it has for any comparable period
during the past several years.
Additional operators have been
and are still on hand to assist in
the completion of a 1910 increase
in operator handled calls and be-
cause of severe weather conditions
every circuit in each exchange is
being used to capacity
Local calls show an increase of
about 5000 over normal. and the
high volumes of calls are expected
to continue until there is a break
in the extremely bad weather.
Officials also reported that there
had been no mechanical failures or
line breakdoWnS, and that individu-
al service problems were being
handled as promptly as roads are
opened to traffic They suggested
that customers would receive faster
service if they do not move the
receiver hook up and down when
placing a call.

Bloodmobile Visit
Monday Called Off

After still planning yesterday to
have the Bloodmobile visit to pro-

morning to call off the visit until
better weather conditions prevail
The Red Cross blood officials at
the JohnStown unit had stressed
the urgent need of the blood to
such an extent yesterday, that il
had been decided to go ahead, but
continuation OF the stormy condi-
tons finally caused them reluc-
family to call it off.
Mrs. Grover Stemple, blood re-
cruitmcnt chairman, said the de
mand for blood had never been so
great and the supply was low. The
local hospital in Oakland had been
using more than usual during Janu-
airy. There was a call yesterday for
blood and local persons responded.
Mrs. Stemple said that she was
notifying the hospital that should
additional blood be needed she
would contact the donors locally,
in order to get the supply needed,
This would continue until weather
conditions made it possible to OBJ
tain blood from Johnstown, and to
arrange for another bloodmobile

New Area Telephone
Rates Now In Effect

Wider range calling for tclc-
phone users in Garrett county
went into effect Sunday under re-
vised schedules filed with the Pub
lie Service Commission by the c.
and P. Telephone company.
The free calling arrangements
are the same as called for in the
company's proposal of last Au-
gust when it made its sixth re-
quest for rate hikes since World
War II.
Additions to the present free
calling areas include from Acct
dent, Bittinger, Friendsville and
Kitzmiller to Oakland; and from
Oakland to Accident, Bittingcr,
Friendsville and Kitzmiller.
In compliance with the PSC
order limiting rate adjustments in
the state to $6,048,900 in gross an
nual revenue, the company filed
amended tariffs. From the boost
in gross income the company eX-
poets to net S2,806,727 after taxes,
enough to give the c. and P. 625
percent return on its investment
in Maryland.
The new basic rates for telC-
phone customers in this area are
as follows;
Accident, Bittingcr, Friendsvillc,
Kitzmillcr and Oakland:

1920 for one party, $40 for two

1t was pointed out that some
customers bills would be less

plan, due to the elimination of
mileage and toll charges.
The company announced there
would also be some slight adjust
ments both upward and downward
in long distance rates between
Maryland points.

willard l.. Hawkins, superintend-
ent of schools. This is the tenta-
tive date set mad will be effective,
providing the storm abates and
the roads arc made passable.
Earlier this week Mr.. Hawkins
had said that the schools would be
closed at least until Friday, but it
was necessary TO extend the date.
Due to the loss of school days
because of weather and road con-
ditions the school term will be
extended into the week of June 8.
he announced this week. He
pointed out that a minimum of 1870
schools days must be made during
a school year
He said the school calendar al
lowed for two makeup days but
these have been used up. The
Easter vacation has been shortened
by one day and the day allowed in
June for teachers TO work on end
of year reports has been cancelled.
However, more school days will
be needed and the school term will
be extended into the week of June
9th for the number of days needed
to make the required 1870 school
days.
He said most of the schools
throughout the state operate until
the second and third week of June.
He remarked that the schedule
would be in for real trouble if it
was necessary to close the schools
any more than this week
The tentative date for closing the
schools for the year is now set for
Friday, June IS. No change will be
made, however in commencement
dates which arc set for June End
and June 3rd.
