The recount hearing brought by Dr.
lLlewellyn Jordan, of Takoma Park
and John L. Imirie, of Bethesda, de-
feated candidates for the House OF
Delegates last November and being
held before Police Judge Donald A.
DeLashmutt at Rockville is proving
one of the most entertaining spec
tacles ever witnessed in any local
court. There has seemed to be an
air of amusement pervading the whole
proceeding, although certain amount
of seriousness also has attended the
taking of testimony by John Huiess,
court stenographer.
1t was stated yesterday that the
total testimony taken down to be pre-
sented to the election committee of
the House will approximate 100000
words. At the final hearing yesterday
1.-THE case has taken three days) the
writer heard lawyers ask the same
questions a half-dozen times and
heard answers given before objections
could be made. Of course, because of
the nature of the case, objections
were merely "noted."
Any number of questions were asked
the 80 or more witnesses, ranging
from "are you married and still living
with your husband" to "do you know
the witness general reputation fol
truthfulness and sobriety."

Der who had voted and created a sit
uationo that has reverberated through
Montgomery County since the cleo
tons on November 6, it was since
revealed yesterday.
The disclosure was made by Don
aid Bowie, Jr., attorney for the
County Board of Supervisors of Elec-
tiony.
The taking of testimony in the case
had neared its third and final day
when Bowie arose and told the court
that the board of election supervisors
had Investigated charges that 381
persons voted while only 1863 had
signed the voting register. The board
found that the weary election officials
had completely missed one page in
their count and this was the reason
for the variance in the figures. Bowie
said.

Measure Advocating Control

Observation-Disclosures of milk in
Montgomery County, meeting Wednes-
day in Rockville, voted opposition TO
the proposed bill for the establish

Maryland. A committee consisting
of Chester F. Clagett and N. o,
Terpenning, both of Rockville; Maui

E. "A. Hills, Colesville, submitted a
report in favor of the bill, but the
action was disapproved by a small

The bill provides the establish
ment of a board to have the power
to arbitrate all disputes arising out
of any phase of the milk industry.
According to 70. w. Anderson,
county agent for Montgomery, the

AS WE SEE IT
By MoNTco

SEASONED OBSERVERS BE-
LIEVE that the present upswing in
business which the country is enjoy
ing will continue. Evidence justifying
this optimistic outlook accumulates
from many sources. The market for
durable goods is constantly improv-
ing. An enormous demand for goods
of permanent use has been piling up
during the past 5 years and when the
buying starts in earnest veritable
boom is certain in the opinion of B.
G. Forbes, widely known writer on
business.
Discussing the problem created by
curtailment in consumption in time of
depression Mr.. Forbes points out that
when such times as food and drink
and amusement are not indulged in
normally the market is lost and gone
forever.
"But the depression, he continues,
"has caused less cutting down of such
expenditures than of expenditures for
things which last, for so-called dur
able goods. When houses, machinery,
railway equipment, farm implements,
furniture, floor coverings, tools, auto
mobiles, refrigerators, radios are not
purchased in normal volume, it doesn't
mean that the business is lost and
gone forever; it means, rather, that
the demand for them becomes more
pressing with the passing of time.
eve all know how light has been
the buying of such goods during the
last years.
"When buying starts in earnest, q
veritable boom is certain"
| "People now have more money te
spend, more confidence, and more
optimism that's. the condition I'vt
found in the 10 States I've visited IN
| the past 5 weeks from New Orleans
to Philadelphia" declared Mr.. Danley
81 didn't find a single black spot in
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Flor
| ida, Tennessee, North Carolina, South
Maryland, or Pennsylvania. Every
where I found people encouraged
iabout the outlook for business"

DELEGATE CANTRELL's effor

DELEGATE CANTRELL'S effort
at Sandy Spring last Saturday was a
very convincing one. I, personally, be-
lieve that our delegation at Annap-
oils has worked for economy in county
government. God knows, it has been
needed. I say this knowing that at
the same time, there are those who
lean too much the other way. There is
a safe and sane course, let US pursue
it. No doubt, some of the bills brought
before the General Assembly have
been primarily actuated by politics.
But the final effect will be good, re-
CARELESS of what led the delegates to
introduce the measures.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY'S af-
fairs should sometimes be though of
in light outside of the pale of
politics. Men and women of different
political compilations serve on bank
boards, social welfare committees and
other organizations without being
handicapped by politics. Why should
not the people of this county, paying
taxes and forming the life-blood of
the various communities; dictate our
financial and governmental set-up
without, recourse to petty rancour and
selfish reasoning?
WHILE MR. CANTREL is to be
congratulated on his fervorin reducing
county expenditures, permit me to
say a word for the County Commits
sioners who believe in cutting down
the small-salaried persons" With un-
employment still prevailing, it seems
fair that the county should exercise
an effort 50 keep jobs which may be
more or less unnecessary in normal
times. Someone has to foot the bill. IF
the Nation, the taxpayer pays it; II
the State, the taxpayer pays it; II the
County, the taxpayer pays it. What
difference does it make who gives out
the jobs? have always thought
many Of the salaries in the courthouse
excessive. But if they are turned out
in the county, they have to be hired
by the State or Nation. So where docs
the taxpayer get off anyhow? Ldp
off the salaries to bare living wage.
But KEEP the jobs wherever possible.
This. without any politics. We get 50

blame IN factions. Whatiwe need is a

Who wouldn't like to steal away,
To follow the Tunix trail;
Above the fields of meadow grass,
Where run the whistling quail?
Down along South Mountain
ridge,
Fern creviced, rugged and steep,
Gazing south to Long Island
Sound,
A rolling valley at you're feet.
Then dip beneath thick, shaded
trees,
Through a glen so green, and cool.
The trail a narrow footpath,
Beside some silent pool;
Where you might sit, quietly rest,
To eat meager bite,
Relish this as banquet feast,
With a ravenous appetite!
Who wouldn't like to steal away,
Think back three hundred years;
When Red-men stalked similar
paths,
So free of material fears.
We'd leave this trail at South
ington,
The Mattatuck to follow.
Going west through deep wood,
Crossing a vast, low hollow,
On Ger the ridge at Reynolds
Bridge,
Where we'd have to cross a
stream,
Could sit upon a messy boulder,
To rest, cool off,-and dream.
The sun would then be setting,
Mist falling cool, and damp,
One day of hikeing is quite
enough,
'Tis time now to make camp!
Who wouldn't like to steal away,
Beneath the stars to sleep,
Too tired to swat mosquitoes,
Or to bother counting sheep!
We'd sponge with citronella,
Just for our safety sake;
Then rest, dead to the world.
AS birds at dawn, to awake.
We'd follow the stream to Thorn
aston,
And then how we could eat;
Hot coffee from a restaurant,
Popovers, bacon and eggs
completes!
Then buy ourselves a morning
| news,
| Continue on our way;
Follow Mattatuck through Black
| Rock Park,
To begin another day.

Connecticut Trails
(Litchfield County,

Who wouldn't like to steal away,
Through deadly silence, and wild;
Twitch- grass, and nettles pricking
legs,
Itching for miles, and miles.
Insects flying round and round,
Tanning you're dusty face.
Till you wished they'd settle
down,
Or find some other place!
Litchfield farms would reach be-
fore us,
Lake. Bantam lingering at our
feet;
Sun sparkling on sapphire waters,
Make our picture more complete.
Mt. Tom rises in the background,
It's emerald green against the sky;
We drink in the inspiration
OF Connecticut-as clouds drift by.
Who wouldn't like to steal away,
Continue north upon this trail;
Follow the crossing of the
Mohawk,
Listen to each night birds vail!
Then to follow the Appalachian,
Along that Housatonic, wooden
stream,
Catching trout from dark banked
pools,
AS we sit to rest, and dream.
Cornwall we would meier forget,
With its forest of cathedral pines;
West Cornwall, and Titus noun
tain,
At night,-a silhouette of black
lines.
Salisbury's hills beyond Falls
Village;
To the north, our State does end,
Who wouldn't want to follow her
paths,
Our heritage,-whose soil we tend!

Good Evening.
TINE OUT OF MIND
BIZ THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Do you perhaps remember way way back!
Searching your memory do you find
-Shadowy, hazy bits emerge as they say
In the distant time out of mind?
Little things you'd quite forgotten,
Events of vanished youth,
A pair of high buttoned shoes,
You wore them-that's the truth
Your first view of yourself in mirror when
You couldn't have been more than four,
That day you learned the phrase, it's me
And you noticed the things you wore
The first time you climbed tree
And remained for hours quite hidden;
The drop to the ground was extra hard
Because tree climbing was forbidden
Your first memory of strawberry ice cream
Piled cone-shape in thick white saucer,
Or the small worry when you'd run amuck
About dad and mother, and which would
be "crosser"-
Your first hair ribbons nice red plaid, -
Wide and crisp and perky,
The first licking for offense when
You sobbed in spasms jerky-
The very first days at school
When you wondered what it was all about,
Then the gradual fitting in there
And you learned to run and shout.
These are few of the trivial things ..
That time out of mind you remember
When the Maytime of life is left behind
And you've entered drear December.
