Scores Police Force
Of Annapolis

Editor, Times
I have been waiting patiently
for some time for some Wash
ington or Baltimore newspapers
to ask that a cleanout be
made Of the Annapolis police.
Every night in the last two
weeks there has been a serious
robbery in this small city. The
robberies started with the $10,-
600 theft at the postoffice.
Daily we are expecting a
gang of bandits to swoop down
on this city and clean out the
three banks located here. Our
police department is most in
efficient, the night force par
ticularly so. It is a well known
fact that men left in charge
Of the police station at night,
go away, on unofficial business,
leaving prisoners unprotected
from fire, explosions, sickness
or other calamities, locked in
II4C CG11Ss
Nightly the police can be
found congregated away from
their assigned posts in the Sec
tionS where most Of the rob-
berries have taken place, or
their homes in the city, or go
to, sleep in places in the bust
ness section. The crooks have
learned that the Annapolis po-
lice are inefficient and not on
the police job, that is why they
nightly visit this ancient city
and leave with large amounts of
money and valuables. Unless a
change is made in our police,
watch for a big robbery here.

NJ scored in the first few minutes of
play, when Walker made a pass to

made. which was tipped by Sims,

goal line and in the next two plays

extra point was spoiled by Whit

parent-Teacher Association

Much enthusiasm and a real spirit
of cooperation between the teachers
and parents marked the first meet
ing Of the year of the Parent-Teach-
er association Monday evening, at
the high school auditorium, and
promises great things for the COM
ing year.
A pot luck supper was served at
$50 and was much enjoyed by the
large number present. The presi-
dent. Mrs. Harry Phillips, presided
during the evening. The program
was opened by scripture reading
and a prayer by Rev. Stoneburner
A few words of welcome by the
president were followed by orches-
ira selections and solos by Wayne
Northrup, Emma Lee Stewart and
Christine Shilling. A feature of the
program was the presentation to the
association of the board of educa-
ton, Prof. and Mrs. Turner. the
new teachers in our schools and the
local ministers and their wives.
Prof. Turner responded with few
appropriate remarks.
The business meeting took care OF
all unfinished work of last year,
and plans for this years work pre-
sented by the president showed that
neither time nor effort had been
spared to make this year an out
standing one in the history of the
association. This is worthy or
ganization. We are rightly proud
of our schools, and let's get behind
the Parent-Teacher association and

Mr.. 0. T. Clark has notified the
election board that he does not
want his name to appear on the
ballots as candidate for county
commissioner Mr.. Clark was NOM
mated at the August primary
when a number of voters wrote in
his name, which was done after he
had declined to become a candi
date. His business affairs are such
that he does not feel he can make
the sacrifice involved in making a
campaign. Neither does he feel
that he would have the time to give
the office, il elected, the attention
it deserves.
Fromh all parts of the county Mr..
Clark had been given much en-
couragement to make the race, the
appeal coming not only from men,
bers of his own party, but from
many Republicans as we'll and all
of which is keen1y appreciated by
him.

HAVEN HAMMOND TERRIBLY
INJURED ABOUT THE HEAD

Mr.. Haven Hammond of Ken
nebec hill was very critically injur-
ed Saturday afternoon about 4:3O
O'Clock, in an auto crash.
He was returning from near
Somerset, where he was employed
with Mr.. Walter Elliott, contrac-
tor, of this place, who has been
building the new bridges and cul-
verts in the rset-Fultonham
road, which is nearing completion.
Mr.. Hammond was on his way home
to spend the week end. He was
driving Mr.. Elliott's ton Chevrolet
, truck, which was empty, except for
a few tools. He was on state route
No. 81, near the bridge at Lyman
Nixon's in Deerfield township, when
a heavy truck used by the Van
Camp Construction Co. of Colum-
bus, in the resurfacing of the road
named, crashed into the truck driv-
en- by Mr.. Hammond.
1t is stated that in going down
the hill the driver lost control of
the heavy truck which was loaded
with crushed stone. The heavy
truck was moving in the same di-
rection as was the truck driven by
Mr. Hammond. and the heavy truck
carried the lighter one for some dis
tance, and when brought to stand
still the two were pinned together.
Neither truck upset. Mr. Hammond
was in the cab, and pinned under
the steering wheel which was brolI
en-, and it was apparent from the
first that he was very badly injured.
Roy White of Meigsvlile township
who is also employed with Mr.. FL
lott, was on his way home, follow
ing some distance behind Mr.. Ham
mond, in Chevrolet coupe. The
driver of the big truck. and Mr..
White brought Mr.. Hammond to a
doctors office. where he received
first aid, and then was rushed in
the Miller ambulance to Bethesda
hospital. GAINESVILLE. Examination
showed that he had two fractures
of the skull, the worst one being
just above the bridge of his nose,
the brain being exposed; the back
of his head was fairly scalped; and
his nose was broken, as was also
his left jaw Bad as were his in
juries, he did not lose consciousness,
and with aid walked from the car
into the local doctors office.
The lighter truck was very badly
wrecked, but the heavy one was
not damaged; neither did it's driver,
who was not local party, suffer
injuries.
Later While not out of danger,
Mr. Hammond iS dining very we'll
really better than would be expect
ed, considering the very serious ma
ture of his injuries.
