monwealth Natural Gas Corp.
in the first half Of this year
were six per cent ahead Of q
year ago, while consolidated
net earnings improved 2 per
cent, reported President w. H.
Trapnell in Richmond yester-
day.
The increase in gas sales to
18,909, 1884, 900 cubic feet was
due entirely to increasing de-
mand for natural gas, because
there was little difference in
weather between the compared
periods, said Mr.. Trapnell.
Earnings Of 1893, 300 showed
O small gain because of SUBJ
stantial maintenance expenses
Of the Portsmouth subsidiary
which undertook a new type OF

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO. July n (AP). Trade in the
grain futures market was Influenced
largely this week by evening up of
speculative positions in the expiring July
contract which set a generally bearish
trend.
Only July soybeans finished with an
advance. It was broad and ranged TO

In the pit very scant.
Liquidation was more general and con-
slant elsewhere but brokers noted that
renewed accumulations Of buy orders
showed up almost daily at prices usually
in the major fractional ranges under
previous markets. A good deal of that
support was ascribed to commercial in
terests who found the weakness a good
opportunity to acquire a long term re-
quirements. Those were understood to be

Senator Byrd. Democrat Of
Virginia. chairman Of the COM
mittee said the tax revision bin,
with the new changes, had
received tentative approval Of
the committee, but emphasized
that the measure win be open
for amendment on Friday, July
81. when the committee meets
again. presumably to put its
final touches on the legislation
before it is reported to the
Senate floor for action.
Passage Held Doubtful
The committee did not dis
close how its II members voted
on the savings and loan pro-
visions. Staff officials said that
a Democratic Senator made the
motion to apply the CONNER
cial bank tax formula to stock
savings associations.
Treasury officials said the
administration did not recon-
mend the stock amendment
and frankly said they were
skeptical that Congress would
enact the provision.
At the end Of 1861 there were
SGT stock associations with
assets approaching $l3 billion.
The stock associations have
flourished especially in Cali
fornia and many have been
grouped together under the
large holding companies.
A number Of small ones have
been successful in nearby Vir-
gfnia and Maryland, but none
exists in the District Of CO.
lumbia.
In the case of mutual thrift
institutions, the committee
agreed to permit the accumu-
lation Of tax deductible loss re-
serves based on: so per cent Of
net income; 8 per cent Of the
net annual increase in quail
tying real property loans: or
loss experience.
It also provided that pre-1952
reserves should be included in
the computation Of the basic
3 per cent reserve for quail |
flying property loans and stipu-
lated that an association could
not build the reserve for quail
flying real property loans be-
yond 6 per cent Of such loans
under the "60-40" formula.
The committee also amended
the bill to provide that an
association could no longer &C.
cumulate deductible reserves
once its total loss reserves ex-
coed IL per cent Of savings
capital.

Katie Thomas, county extension
agent, home economics.
Last minute punch making will
be no problem If you stock up
your emergency shelf with
canned juices. Frozen citrus
juices can be added to give
your punch plus value and fla
vor. Complement 1t with canned
date and nut breads and a variety
of tasty crackers. Such things
as holiday casserole bread,
cranberry nut bread, and baked

can be put away In your freezer

Don't try to keep up with the

Keep your refreshments simple

to those watching their weight.
Something for slipping and two
or three things to nibble is
usually sufficient. Keep them
light so that they won't spoil
mealtime appetites.
Accent raw fruits and vege-
tables to dunk in dips. Salty
popcorn or pretzle sticks are
low calorie tidbits. When 1t
