County Hard Hit
By Severe Storm
Lasting All Day
Rivers And Creeks Go On RAM
page; Traffic Is Halted And
Crops Damaged

Montgomery county was hard hit
yesterday when a deluge of almost
hurricane-like proportions swept over
the countryside telling trees, unroof-
ing houses, flooding cellars and tie
ing up traffic on many important
thoroughfares. In the rural sections
there will be a big loss to the corn
and tobacco crops, the corn, partic-
ularly, being twisted and beaten tn
the ground as if some giant steam
roller had churned across the rows.
In the late afternoon all traffic
was halted to Poolesville and other
nearby towns in the western sector
of the county because of the over
flow of Seneca Creek, near Dawson
vile. Rock Greek, near Rockville, at
one time was also over its banks
and inundating the roadway. The
reservoir at Burnt Mills last night
overlooked and flooded the Coles
vile pike. Hundreds of trees, cleo
trio and telephone wires were down.
Telephone communication was almost
at a standstill.
Traffic to Kensington from Chevy
Chase was stopped and the Kensing-
ton Fire department kept busy pull
ing cars out of Connecticut Avenue
where Rock Greek went astray. The
Rockville pumping apparatus was
busy emptying cellars Of water and
the rescue squad responded to an
emergency call at Hyattsville where
residents along Bladensburg road
were endangered.
The storm caused postponement of
Sandy Spring and Rockville fire de-
partment carnivals. A meeting Of
the Rockville Chamber Of Commerce
and the Montgomery Unemployment
Committee of Montgomery County at
Bethesda, scheduled for yesterday,
were called off.

The committee representing p. 7.
A. headed by Mrs. E. w. Scott as
their President met on Aug. 22nd,
with representative Of Universal
Producing Company, Fairfield, Iowa
and made arrangements for the FAM
Gus production "Henry's Wedding" to

the High School Auditorium.
This production is something entire
ly new and different in the way Of en-
tertainment and promises, 20 be the
only "Henry's Wedding" to be held in
this community this year. The most
outstanding thing about "Henry's
Wedding" is that three couples get
married, making it triple wedding.
The costuming is unusual and spectac-
ular and the newspaper reports
throughout the entire country praise
this unusual show. It takes 125 local
people to present this elaborate out
standing production which promises
to be The greatest social, political
event and entertainment of the year.
Two outstanding features of the pro-
duction are the Beaus and Bellies Of

Shrine. Full particulars will be given
concerning these unusual entertain
ment features at later time.

The sale of the Rockville Fair
Grounds scheduled for tomorrow
friday recalls many incidents
which went to make up the annual
holiday of the Montgomery County
farmer and his family. No other
feature of the year attracted SC
many people to the county seat mol
did no other event prove so great
means of drawing together old ac-
quaintances from Poolesville, Damas-
Gus, Sandy Spring, Colesville and
other communities. If the Board OF
Education purchases the property al
least the spot will be preserved and
will continue to serve the county in
an important manner.
Many hot political arguments were
heard at the Rockville Fair. Here
were the stamping grounds for Dem
ocrat and Republican alike. There
was always an orator or two arounC
to stir the crowd to battle.
A summary of the prize winners
of so years ago shows names still
familiar in the county, although tn,
recipients of those awards have long
since crumbled to clay.
A half century ago T. ]. Owens
received first place for saddle horses
and George F. Bradley won out fol
the best walking mare or gelding.

Super Highway Is
Endorsed By Five
Counties Affected
Officials Of Montgomery, How
ard, Baltimore, Hartford And
Cecil Sign Resolution

Endorsement of the so called Super
Highway to the national capital by
the five Maryland counties which il
would traverse has been secured and
a joint resolution addressed to the
Maryland State Roads Commission
signed by officials of each of these
counties. The counties affected are
Montgomery, Howard, Baltimore
Hartford and Cecil. The resolution
follows:
"To the Members of the State Roads
Commission of Maryland:
Gentlemen:
"The people, not only of Maryland
but of most of the Eastern States
having occasion to pass through
Maryland from North to South OF
the reverse, have seen and felt the
need of better travel facilities in our
State and have also recognized the
ACCESSIBILITY of avoiding the larger
towns wherever possible so as to give
more freedom of travel, not only to
our people, but to those coming
through our State. We believe that
a careful and serious consideration
of the problem, which is today a
national one and not purely a Local
one, would suggest the advisability
of the construction of a new road
through our State which would give
the change needed to the public at
large. Traffic conditions in all the
leading cities lis today one of the
most pressing problems public Off
Gals have to deal with and any re.
lief which can be afforded them is
certainly a step in the right direc-
ton. Many of the most thoughtful
observers of road conditions in our
State have long since reached the
conclusion that the widening Of the
Washington Boulevard did not alto
gether take care of the very heavy
traffic from Baltimore to Washington
and, knowing the unusual cost that
would attend another widening of
this roadway, they have looked for
another route which would give the
relief necessary and, at the second
time, net prove as expensive as
changing the old roadway, and this
same condition applies to the roads
north of Baltimore, namely the
Philadelphia and Belair Roads, and
the only proper solution is to build
roadway from the Northeast sec
ton of our State to the Southwest
boundary, close to the cities without

Diamond Explains
New Mortgage Act
Helping Farmers
Gaithersburg Man Named Coun.
ty Representative OF Land
Bank Official

The Emergency Farm Mortgage
Act has made available a fund of
5000, 100000 to be loaned to farmers,
according to Douglas B. Diamond, of
Gaithersburg, who has been appoint
ed a Montgomery County representa-
tive of the Land Bank Commissioner.
He can be found at his farm near
Gaithersburg at any time, or can be
reached by telephoning Gaithersburg
146-J.
The loans may be made, he says,
to enable the farmer to pay off pres
emit indebtedness; to provide working
capital for farm operations, and to
enable any farmer to repurchase
farm property owned by him before
foreclosure when the farm has been
foreclosed since July, 1881.
Loans may be made up to the
amount of $4,000 and the loan, to-
gether with all prior indebtedness
against the property, may not ex-
coed three-fourths of the appraised
value of the farm.
The interest rate will be not more
than per cent. No curtailment of the
principal of the loan is required dur
ing the first three years. Beginning
with the fourth year, the mortgage
is amortiZed at the rate of 10 per
cent each year.
This credit plan placed at the dis
posal of the farmers by the Demo-
cratic administration, Mr.. Diamond
declares, saves interest, furnishes
money to buy cattle, fertilizer, feed
and other farm necessities, and pre-
vents foreclosure of farm property.
Loans are available for any farm
of 10 acres of more if the land is
used for agricultural, purposes.

emergencies in the past.
