Mrs. Glen Dickerson, president, led the group in repeating the dub collect. Mrs. Lowefi J. Smith was program chairman for the afternoon, and gave a paper on “Early Transportation in the United States.” She gave a history of the early transportation methods in the U. S., starting with the early animal trails and then the Indian trails which later developed into the Wilderness road, used by Daniel Boone, and the national roads. Methods of travel such as the mule pack, the stage coach, the Conestoga wagon, and the railroads were described. Die early railroads often used different size gauges for their tracks, making it impossible for different railways to use the same tracks. Congress later set a standard gauge for all railroad tracks. She told of the building of the Union Pacific Railroad; connecting the west with the east. Mrs. Smith dosed by making a comparison between the methods she had described and the present fast means of transportation, wondering what the next century would be like for travel. Current events followed, and Mrs. Dickerson conducted the business

Household Scrapbook Ice Cream Stains If the ice-cream-stained area is dry, sponge it with some carbon tetrachloride to remove the fats. When the Solvent has evaporated apply a solution of water, detergent, and a few drops of ammonia directly on the stain. Work the stain with the back of a comb or knife, then flush it from the fabric with cold water. Concrete Patch One practical way to patch a large hole in a concrete driveway is to fill the bottom of the hole with some clean, good-sized stones, then cover these with some cement mix. This is an economical way, too.

Hearing Conducted On Railroad Merger LOGANSPORT, Ind. (UPD— Several business executives testified Monday they believed a proposed merger of the Pennsylvania and New York Central Railroads would be beneficial to their firms, but two mayors and a county official anticipated community losses. The testimony was given at a hearing conducted by the Interstate Commerce Commission before a crowd of 225 which overflowed City Hall courtroom and forced a shift to the high school auditorium. , Louis B. Hartlake Jr., traffic manager for the Louisville Cement Co. of Speed, which has a new plant here, said his firm was "interested in this merger. .. since we feel the benefits to be derived through improvement to the railroad's physical plant and strengthening of financial stability will have the effect of making them much more competitive and produce a much better service." Louis W. Schaller, vice president of General Grain Inc., which has storage elevators in the area, said his firm supported the merger plans. "Our opinion is that this merger would improve the service and the supply of railroad equipment to this territory,” Schaller said. Mayor Otto Neuman of Logans, port said he was "sort of mixed up as to whether this is good or bad” but it appeared to him Logansport would lose about 10 trains a day if the roads merged. Mayor Robert Ambler of Huntington feared the merger might interfere with operation by the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad of a big shop at Huntington by "seriously damaging service” in the area for Erie.
