PERRY POINT AGAIN n

One of the silly orders of. Brig
adier-General Sawyer, who happened
to be clothed with little brief auth
ority, Is to be rescinded, that OF
changing the name Of Perry Point
to Federal Park. Dispatches from
Washington annouce that the Post
Office Department will change the
name of Federal Park back to Perry
Point, the order. to go into effect June
/. The change was made by Sawyer
last year, despite the protests OF
residents of Cecil county.
AS the Cecil Star, of Norah East,
remarks, There never was any
justifable reason for changing the
name by which the historic spot had
been known for more than two CEN
turtles, and the citizens Of the coun-
ty, aggressively led by Miss Carolyn
Stump for the perpetuatiou OF the
fair name Of her ancestral home
resented the arbitrary action.
