the exacting housewife will view
with satisfaction the modern
kitchen, with it's cheerful color
harmonies and newest equipment.

HISTORIC SPO 7
OFFERS FALL
OUTINGS

A series of community parties
will be a feature of the autumn
season at Point Blackstone, Md.
This delightful shore community
has had a most successful season,
and the property owners are plan
ming to entertain their neigh5ors
and friends with a series Of Sun
day fish firstS, oyster roasts and
crab feasts during the golden fall
days which turn the green foliage
to glorious autumn hueS.
Point Blackstone lies in one OF
Maryland's most historical sec
'tion.
This point of land overlooks
Blackstone Island, on whose
sandy beach over 800 years ago
landed the two brave ships con-
tanning Lord Baltimore's band Of
fearless followers. The grea t
State Of Maryland just completed
one of the most original celebra-
tions of this ancient event ever
put on by any State. The first
of this series of celebrations took
place at Blackstone Island. A
great white cross was erected on
the spot where Lord Baltimore'S
followers planted their small cross
300 years ago and the ceremony
was attended by thousands Of
people. A boat trip around this
island will be one of the interest
ing features of these autumn par
ties.
A Historic Spot
Within sight of this land lies a
beautiful point of land, the history
of which is as celebrated as that
of the island itself. This has been
known as Coltons Point for many
years, and on this point lies the
beautiful summer residential sub
division known as Point Blackl-
stone, This land lies high and
level above the Potomac River
and St. Clements Bay, just above
where the river empities into
Chesapeake Bay. For hundreds OF
years this great body of salt water
has been Washington's most
famous fishing ground, nearly
every variety of the finny tribe
gathering here in large numbers.
