Washington
Gas Requests
Exemption

Washington Gas Light Co,
has applied to the Federal
Power Commission for blanket
permission to enlarge or extend
its facilities within It's regular
business area ct any time with
out specific authorization from
the commission.
President Donald S. Bittinger
of the company said the COM
pany is seeking ways to stream
line procedures and increase its
operating efficiency and that
this is another step in that d.
rection.
The application was made
under special provision Of the
Natural Gas Act which has not
been used previously by any
company to obtain such exemp-
ton. The act Is binding on
Washington Gas because 1t
serves areas in the District of
Columbia, Maryland and vir-
ginia. Many companies opel =
ating within single State have
been exempted under another
provision from FPC control.
Washington Gas is regulated
by the D. c. Public Utilities
Commission, the Maryland Pub
Elic Service Commission and the
Virginia State Corporation
Commission.
In its application to the FPC
the company points out that
it "is adequately regulated
without obtaining certificates
Of public convenience and
necessity from the Federal
Power Commission"
The application goes on to
say that time and expense OF
both the commission and the
applicant would be saved, with
out detriment to the public in
tereSt :. With the heavy work
load facing the commission en-
comprising many problems OF
national interest. the commits.
sion should be relieved of time
consuming matters of local
concern, which are adequately
regulated at the local level"

100000 Expansion

A 100000 expansion In IA

Dairy was announced today by
President A. l.. Thompson.
Plans call for a new three
story building adjoining the ex-
listing plant at 20l2 Eleventh
street NV, and for extensive
alteration Of the first floor and
other araeS of the existing
building.
The new building and mod
ernization will incorporate some
OF the most modern advances
In the dairy business, Mr..
Thompson said.
| A floor Level conveyor system
which will carry dairy products
to delivery trucks with virtually
no handling by employees is one
of the outstanding features.
Trucks will load directly from
the conveyor.
Called Most Modern
The second floor Of the new
building will be devoted to
probably the most modern area
facility for the making Of
cottage cheese.
To insure the proper control
and absolute sanitary condi-
lions necessary for the delicate
task of making cottage cheese,
the area will be completely
divorced from the remainder
Of the plant.
Mr.. Thompson, whose dairy
has been in business since 1881
said present laboratory facilities
will be expanded and completely
equipped with instruments for
quality control.
"Our dairy has long been
noted for its high-quality,
sanitary production of dairy
foods" Mr.. Thompson said.

that we have received countless
honors from health authorities
for our conscientious devotion
to healthful practices. I'VE are
proud Of this and will con-
tinuously strive to take ad-
vantage of every innovation
developed to maintain this
reputation" The present staff
of experts will be enlarged to
man the laboratory.
The expanded facilities also
allow for a complete change in
executive offices and integra-
ton Of IBM machines.
SubstatiOns Planned /
Long-range plans ct Thomp-
sons include the building of
several satellite stations
which will ring Washington to
provide even better service to
customers in the suburbs. These
are. in effect, substations To
which huge trailer trucks will
deliver milk from the plant
each day. This will eliminate
the necessity for delivery men
in the suburbs having to drive
into the city to pick up their
dairy products.
Actually, one such substation
has been in operation for a
little over a year and a half
at Merrifield, Va, and it has
proved the effectiveness of this
type Of operation.
THE Washington area is be-
coming a Sprawling, heavily
populated area" MIR. Thompson
said, and we intend to do
everything we can to stay
ahead of this trend and to con-
tinue to give our customers the
service they expect"

done on the Thompson's facili-
ties are Mills, Petticord & Mills

for me to be in the middle.
Am I right or wrong?

been the custom for 10 these

slipShod when performing the
daily ritual of eating? Par
ticularly. this is true during
the summer months when ev-
eryone becomes more infor-
NAL in their approach to
most everything.
With summer almost gone,
1t might be a good idea to
brush up a little on the
don't dos" with which we
are all familiar and all too
inclined to ignore. So SIM
pie and basic are they that
one is apt to slip into a dis
regard of their Importance.
Take bread, for example.
The most miShandled of all
foods. Bread should be brok-
en-, a small piece at a time,
before it is buttered. You
Just don't take a whole
piece. lay it on the palm of
your hand and butter it like
you were painting a fence.
Making little mounds of
bread on your butter plate,
by fiddling with it during a
meal. isn't very attractive
either!
The use Of a piece of
bread as a push piece" is
also frowned upon. This is
q pleasure that only the very
young should indulge in.
Neither bread, rolls nor
crackers should be crumbled
up and dropped into soup. A
small piece of each should
be broken off, and eaten sep
arately.
Other things to watch:
Never use the boarding
house reach" technique. Ask
courteously to have what you
want passed to you. Never
leave the spoon in a coffee
or tea cup, nor in a tall
Stemmed desert dish. The
spoon should be placed on
the accompanying saucer
when not actually in use.
Also, never dip your spoon
into the sugar bowl or relish
dish. Always use a serving
spoon or fork when helping
yourself to anything.
Do not cut all your meat
before starting to eat. Cut
ting one bite at a time is the
proper way to do it. And,
of course, never push more
food into your mouth when
it is already full. 1t should
go without saying that to
try to talk with your mouth
full of food. or even with
just a little bit, is just plain
unforgiveable.
The rule regulating the
placing Of elbows on the ia
BILE has been somewhat modi-
fled in recent years. However,
one elbow on the table at a
time is enough. Never sprawl
all over the place. Also,
don't cultivate the unpleas-
ant habit of leaning on the
table, fork poised in the air,
and putting your face down
to get the food from it. Sit
when eating and lift
your food to your mouth, not
vice versa.
In the days Of Queen
Victoria it was considered
piggish and impolite to con-
sumo all the food on ones
plate. This rule has def
nitely been changed today,
but it doesn't mean that it
is necessary to make your
self conspicuous by hopping
around to get that last

What No T.V. Debate
OF Congress Candidates?

In California Richard Nixon, Republican can
didate for governor wants no part Of a TV debate
with Governor Paul Brown Democrat. Here in Min
nesota Republican incumbent Fifth district Con-
gresham Walter Judd refuses to debate his Dem
ocratc Farmer Labor opponent state Senator DON

The past political figures like Lincoln and
Douglas were more hardy and less shy Of personal
conformation with their political opponents. It may
be that the experience Richard Nixon had with
John Kennedy has made even articulate poll
tician like Dr. Judd, Tv debate shy.
This is strange because Judd is one of the most
accomplished and sought after public speakers in
the nation Senator Fraser may consider Judd's
disinclnaton to debate the issues Of the campaign
with him. tribute either to his foresenic ability or
the issues which he espouses.
If we were Of the gambling type we would be
willing to wager that before the campaign Is over
the Republican candidate for Congress will be forced
by public opinion to engage In TV debate with
his DFL opponent. What better way for candidate
in these days to get his message and platform over
to the people?
