RADIO TALK ON OLD CHURCHES
GREAT SUCCESS.

The Radio talk from w. B. A. L..
last Monday ou"Save The Old Chur-
ches" has aroused much comment in
this section from people who are inter-
ested in these old churches of Southern
Maryland. The original churches of
the old Maryland colony bark back to
the days when the churches we're built
and in measure supported by self
imposed task upon the whole popula-
ton. For this reason these century
old parishes and historic church build
ings are quite unique in their appeal to
all history-loving Americans.
1t is in Baltimore, the city of homes,
much more than in cosmopolitan
Washington, that one finds deep
loyalty and personal sentiment for
these old Maryland shrines and his
toric monuments. The American
Automobile Association of Baltimore,
for the benefit of their patrons, are ar
ranging tours to these old churches.
A. A. A. Headquarters says the Amer
lean motorist, has been in receipt of
numerous inquiries concerning the
historical churches of Southern Mary
land, " and refers it readers to a series
of articles in the D. @. edition having
to do with the history of some of the
older and more historic churches.
The problem of Congress, says the
Congressional Record sis to save the
American Farmer from extermina-
ton" Since the three elemental needs
which mankind from the lower animals
are said to be medical attention, scho-
cling and the comfort of religion, it
will be seen that these rurals churches
have very real part in saving at
least the Southern Maryland farmer
from determination.

Lehlbach Bill Report
Due This Week

The Dale-Lehlbach bill to lib

Federal employees probably will be
reported favorably to the House
early this week by the Civil Ser
vice Committee, of which Repre-
sentative Lehlbach (R) Of New
Jersey Is chairman.
This measure passed the Sen
ate about two weeks ago and
House committee members arc
not inclined to modify materially
its terms. It is generally ad.
mitted that there are Unequal,
tiles in the measure, but even
the Spokesmen of the Govern
ment employees in Washington
and elsewhere would rather get
the Senate bill through the
House promptly than to jeopar.
die its final passage by amend
mentS.
Representative Lehlbach is un-
derstood to have had quite a
conference recently with Presi-
dent Hoover on the attitude of
