MIR. J. E. Settler Tells of Trip
Through Sunny South.
Thurmont, Md,

Thurmont, Md,
Jan. go, 1919.
The Editor of THE CLARION,
My dear Sir
AS per your request | take pleasure In
writing for you short sketch OF my
trip through the South while in the Ar
my. On August 18th, the Frederick
County and City contingent was ordered
to the Georgia School of Technology at
Atlanta, Ga. We all left Frederick over
B & o to Washington where we were
joined by other Maryland boys all bound
for the same school to take special train
ing. We left Washington in the evening
at $50 and arrived at North Avenue,
Atlanta, August 18th, at 10 m. Here
we were met by the Army Officials OF
Ga. Tech and were marched to the
school campus. Here we were halted
and separated into different sections and
and shown the way to the dormitories
where we were to make our home during
our two months training at Atlanta.
Having been quartered, orders were Civ
en- for supper at II o'clock. After sup
per, all being tired we went to bed.
August 10th we were examined, and
placed in classes for our course. There
were $50 truck drivers. The other $50
were divided into auto mechanics, radio
men, and carpenters. Practically all OF
the Frederick county boys were chosen
to take the truck driving course, and
here let me say they all made good.
The journey to Atlanta was beautiful
one. During our stay in Atlanta the
Maryland boys won praise from all, both
from the Mayor in charge and the citi-
zens of Atlanta. Please do not think
am exaggerating when tell you our re-
cord from the Ga. Tech. officials. We
were the only contingent that ever left
there that completed their course before
scheduled time. We also carried off the
honors of being the best drilled body in
the 4th Liberty Loan Parade in Atlanta.
October 18th. we were ordered - set
sail for Pensacola Fla. and arrived there
Oct. l4th. From Pensacola we were
sent to Fort Pickins and assigned to the
Coast Artillery Corps. We were ordered
to leave Florida and join the Both c. A.
C. at Camp Eustis, Va. However, when
we arrived at this camp our train being
very late, We found the 36th already
filled, so we were assigned to 34th c. A.
C. Battery B. We trained at Camp Eus-
tbs for over two months. and our regi-
ment was ready for France when we re-
ceived news of the armistice being sign
ed.
My four months in the army were sure
ly four very pleasant ones. The army
is one grand school. Our officers were
all excellent men, nothing was ever too
much trouble for them to explain, the
boys were all sociable and we all had a
wonderful trip.
Before cl osing please permit me to say
that the Red Cross Canteens along our
routes in our travelling from Maryland to
Florida were greatly appreciated by all
the boys. The work of the Red Cross
will never be forgotten by any boy who
has ever worn the khaki uniform.
j. E. Settler.

fore Justice of the Peace Robert E. Ca
dow, on warrant sworn out by Mr.. c.

charge preferred against them was Gun
seemly noises" on the street at night
Two of them pleaded guilty, the third

Justice of the Peace of the county and
the fines and fees collected by county
officials
The offenses were committed in the
corporation of Thurmont, and purely
within the jurisdiction of the Board Of
Commissioners of Thurmont, yet not a
cent, as we understand goes into the
town treasury.
During the hearing before the magis-
trate deputy Lidie made a statement to
the boys on whom fines had been i'm
posed that he did not care how much
yelling" they did, but because citizens
complained to him he was obliged to try
and keep order. He also gave warning
that in the future misconduct on the
streets would not be tolerated.

Wind Blowing A Gale

Mr.. Roger c. Heimer, son of DIR. and
Mrs. p. E. Heimer, at this time Naviga-
tor on the U. S. S. Tallapoosa, sends US
the following item taken from some
northern newspaper of recent date:
after encountering extreme weather
off the coasts of Labrador and Newfound-
land the United States Coast Guard Cut
ter Tallapoosa returned to port yester-
day afternoon, with Captain T. S. Stone
and crew of the Gloucester schooner
Arko,a, which was totally wrecked on
the coast of Labrador, on board. Cap
tain Stone and his crew will go on to
Boston on board one of the United States
craft, that has been on duty here for
sometime, and is returning to the Boston
base.
1.-THE Tallapoosa, Captain j. II. Hotel.
since leaving Halifax last week, did good
work in rescuing the shipwrecked crew.
She holds the distinction of being the
first ship that has visited ports in the
Strait of Belle Isle at this time of the
year, and in making this record almost
got caught in the ice.
"She sailed from Halifax January 7,
bound to Forteau, to bring back the crew
of the Arizona, and to leave supplies for
the inhabitants there who were reported
to have been short of provisions The
trip to the Strait Of Belle Isle was unevent-
full and she arrived at Port Saunders,
Mild, which is about fifty miles this
side of Forteau, on January 8. She put
into Port Saunders because it was not
advisable to proceed on to Forteau be-
fore daybreak. Bad weather set in and
the Tallapoosa was forced to remain in
Port Saunders until Saturday morning
January II. She reached Forteau about
2 O'Clock in the afternoon after having
cut through heavy ice foe, which at
times completely mpeded her progress.
The temperature was then five degrees
below zero. After taking the crew on
board and landing provisions for the in
habitants there, the Tallapoosa started
out again and it was only with good for
tune that she escaped being caught in
the ice. That night the temperature
dropped to twenty degrees below, and
the cutter Immediately ran into heavy
weather. There was high sea running
and this enabled the Talapoosa to break
through. Had it been calm the sea
would have probably froze solid, and the
cutter would have been iced in. B"

AS Chairman Herman, of the CITY

imperative that immediate action be

That is an important point. I'm
questionably, the City Councilmen

Woman and Home

tFrom the Philadelphia Ledger.1
The housekeeper and homebuilder
is in the trenches on the firing line
in the war it is to live. All the
economic circumstances seem to be
conspiring to rob her not merely
of the sums apportioned in the
household budget for this and that
necessity, but of her peace of mind,
as she contemplates the rising scale
and wonders what limit there is be-
low the sky to the rapacity of the
elusive profiteer.
1t makes her blood boil to learn
that men are letting food rot or
throwing it away sooner than let it
come upon the market at a re-
spectacle price. She begins to Won
der If presently she will have to let
her family go barefoot when she
finds herself called upon to pay fam
tastic rates for shoddy footgear un-
der the shameless mask of a bar
gain.
She finds that she must give for
what used to be the cheap staples
of diet as much as she used to give
for the luxurious superfluities.
Running a household in these
post-bellum days calls for all the
shrewdness and tact, the hindsight
and foresight, the knowledge of hu-
man nature and the disciplinary
firmness that a whole council of the
sharpened wits of Europe finds re-
quisite in dealing with the League
of Nations
