FIELD MASS AT
OLD BOHEMIA

In commemoration of the three
hundredth anniversary Of the found
ing of Maryland, the annual field
mass will be held at st. Francis
Xaiver's Vatholic Church, Familiarity
known as Old Bohemia, near War
wick, this country, on Sunday, Oct
z at II p. m. The celebration takes
on particular significance due to the
fact that this old church figures in
the religious history of st. Mary's
county, and the Catholic history OF
America.
Immediately after the settlement
at st. Mary's, number of priests
came to assist Father White and
Father Altman and mission was
established about 1887. 1t is prob
able that Jesuit priests penetrated as
far north as where Old Bohemia now
stands, as early as 1850. This serv-
ed as a chapel and mission until Will
liam of Orange came to the throne
and Maryland became a royal prov
ince and Catholic Churches were
closed. 1t is possible that at that
time Old Bohemia, because Of its Sc
clusion, became an important center
of Catholicity and that the old brick
dwelling was erected.
In 1904, the restrictions were so
far lessened that priests were allow
ed to celebrate mass in private
homes. Immediately the present
church was built adjoining the house
in order that it might pass as pri-
vate chapel. The two CAROLS, John
and Charles, one signer of the Dec
laration of Independence and the
other the first Catholic Bishop Of
the United States were educated in
the school there which continued I'M
til 1890.
On January II, 1904, the Rev.
Charles A. Crowley became pastor
and in the course of time transferred
his residence to Middletown, Del,
which Is now the parish church of
the people of the Bohemia Mission.
In April, 1929, Father Crowley was
made pastor of st. Peters Church,
New Castle, Del, and the Rev. John
Fl. Walsh, the present pastor, now
takes care of Middletown with Old
Bohemia included.

STATE
CONVENTION MEETS
Chairman TAFT Resigns
State Ticket Placed In
Nomination

To the tune of Happy Days Are
Here Again." the New Deal Admin
istration's theme song, Harry w.
Nice was placed in nomination for
Governor Thursday in Baltimore, at
the Republican State Convention
said to be the largest G. O.. P. gath
ering in a generation-and made the
party's standard bearer by the unan-
imous vote of the delegates.
1t was not happy day, however,
for the veteran State chairman, Ga
len l.. TAFT, who suffered what he
has termed public political decapi-
tation,' but not before he gave the
convention hint as to how he felt
about it.
AS State chairman, he opened the
convention-as he has done In the
last fifteen Republican conventions.
He made his speech and then left
the stage of Ford's Theater, while
the newly elected State Central Com
mittee was electing William P. Law
son, head of the City Committee, to
succeed him.
Nominated with the Gubernatorial
candidate were:
George H. Henderson, of Cumber-
land, for Attorney General
Fred H. Adkins, of Salisbury, for
Comptroller.
Mayor Walter e. Quenstedt, of
Annapolis, for Clerk OF The Court of
Appeals.
DR.. France, for the United States
Senate.

TEMPERANCE ADDRESS

At the evening service at the M
e, Church, here. Sunday, Miss May
B. Macken, of Germantown, Pa, a
speaker of National reputation, gave
a stirring temperance address in
which the falsities of the repealists
were shown in their extravagant
claims and promises of how much
better the law would be enforced
when liquor was legalized. One Of
these claims was that it would cost
a great deal less to enforce the legal
lied liquor law than the prohibition
law, whereas the fact is four dollars
are being spent now, for law enforce
ment, where one dollar was spent UNI
der prohibition. Another promise
was that bootlegging would be brok-
en- up. Statistics prove there is
more illegal stuff sold now, than
there is of the legalized brand. The
promised stupendous tax returns
from the sale of legalized liquor has
also proven delusion and a snare.
These and other false claims of the
vets were held up to the view of the
audience by the speaker. who backed
her statements with facts to prove
them, and kept the closest attention
of her auditors throughout her dis
course OF more than an hour.
