the rear Of the car struck Sherry and
threw him into the curb.
Sherry was taken to Georgetown

other Montgomery County officer who
was with him, remained at the scene
to guard the prisoner.

The coroner explained that issuance
OF the certificate did not determine

necessary to allow the body to be

Think how scientists predicted that

prove so destructive that neither

operate under their domination. And
yet anti.aircraft guns and smoke

In 1923 Weddell, another English

Early in the history Of Antarctic
explorations, reports had been made
~ a vast Southern continent, fertile
of land and temperate Of climate, that
extended far up into the Pacific
ocean. Pioneer expeditions dispelled
this notion. but bits Of land sighted
amid the icebergS gave rise TO the
belief that a continent existed within
the polar region itself. Some of the
early expeditions insisted that those
who claimed to have sighted land had
mistaken great icebergs for islands.

DEMOCRATS SEEK
 BOARD POSITIONS Campaign for Boards Of Relief
 and Assessors HEAVY VOTE IS URGED
Local Dahlia Garden Attracts Flow. CT Enthusiasts From All Parts Of State-No Delay To Malls Report cd As Result Of Road Repairs.

The dem ocratic party Of the town has set an objective for the com ing elections 10 regain representa- tion on several boards of the town government, chiefly the board of re- lief and tho board of assessors. The party claims that the wholly rcpub- lican control Of both boards Is not conductive towards good government and that democratic representatives are entitled 10 a place on the board
 In large part inc democratic as pirations are backed by a large number Of republican voters who claim that a minority member on any board is q good thing for the workings of that body. With the complete republican control of the principal departments of the town. il Is claimed that tn" party in control is able to act without any check such as would be present with the minority member.
 The democratic party made the same claims last year and put up q hard fight for representation on the two boards. Although their nom inccs for the positions were defcat- cd in tho balloting, democratic lead CTS sny that q marked tendency for local voters to consider the advisa- bility Of the representation has rais- ed local democratic hopes in coming elections.
 Representatives Of the minority party were included in the member ship of the boards in question up un- til about five years ago when q re- publican landslide put three mem bcrs of that party into office on the board of relief and the board of as scssors. Since that time repeated of- forts of the democratic party to re- gain their representation on the boards have failed. All democratic campaigns in the coming elections will be towards that end, members of the democratic town committee have stated.
 Henry C. Dcming. chairman of the republican town committee today repeated his previous statements urging a complete vote Of the resi- dents of the town. He deplored the seeming lack of interest which has surrounded this years political sea son and expressed q hope that cleo . ton day would bring out a repre- sentative vote.
 Daniel Malarncy. chairman of the dem ocratic party asked for a com plete and early vote on election day He expressed a confidence that the democratic party would gain con siderable ground in the coming cleo tions and would possibly gain recog- milton on the boards of the town which arc at present without demo- cratic representatives.
 Little interest in the elections were voiced about town this week, the general opinion seeming 10 be that the cut and dried process of other years would be repeated next Mon day. The poll modcrators have not yet been appointed by either party. although they will doubtless be an nounccd before the end of the week.
