BEFRIENDED CARRIER PIGEON


About two weeks ago carrier
pigeon alighted in the yard of George
Whited, at Calvert. The bird was
very tame and did not object to being
picked up and handled. 1t was also
apparently very tired and hungry,
and was given food and drink. After
the bird had become rested Mr..
Whited wrapped a note, secured by a
rubber band, about one of the legs
of the pigeon and then released
it. The bird took off, and the
next day Mr.. and Mrs. Whited re-
ceived through the mail the follow
ing note:
Burlington, N. J.

This pigeon that stopped at your
place is one of my best birds. Last
year / clicked him first in three
traces, first place. He is my two
hundred winner for the old
birds race.
l am very thankful to you and
your wife for harboring him over
night He arrived home at 1890
a. m. This bird was coming from

Yours sincerely,

Montgomery County gave Roose-
Welt and Garner a majority of 2,848
votes according to unofficial returns.
Although there were many Demo-
Gratis deserving the New Deal stand
ard, it was a foregone conclusion
Monday night that the adherents of
ALI Landon would be defeated.
The same held true of David j.
Lewis chances. When the early re-
turns came in from Pennsylvania
there was little doubt in the minds
of local voters that the Democratic
Administration would be upheld.
Lewis lost only Garrett County and
that by a margin of 900 votes. His
majority surprised even his most op-
timistic followers. Lewis led in Allie
gany by nearly 1000 votes, in Mont
gomery by 1900, Washington by over
$500 and in Frederick by nearly
1000.

AS WE SEE IT
By MoNTco

The THE" ELECTION is
Election over. The great Am
erican electorate h a 5
spoken in way that leaves no
doubt of the public's appreciation of
sincere effort to govern by action
to battle by aggressive attack. AS
between the two major candidates
the people showed tn a they loved
President Roosevelt MORE rather
than Governor Landon LESS.
Straight thinking, however,
prompts one to break down the vote.
We cannot disregard the many pat
riotic men and women who, against
known odds, severed lifelong associa-
tons to express honest convictions
against some New Deal legislation.
Let US not be swept off our feet by
q tremendous victory for the most
popular President in modern times.
Rather let US accept the verdict as
personal tribute to President
Roosevelt and continue to maintain
greater interest in Government
than we have ever experienced. The
next few years will be most import
ant in the history of America. I'm
portant legislation will have to be
properly debated and considered. The
Senate and House must not accept
blindly, bills prepared on the outside.
There is no emergency as existed
in 1888. Our best way of contribut-
ing as citizens is to keep in constant
touch with our Congressman and
Senator's.
With Roosevelt as the leader We
are headed for a pleasant four year
experience and with the voters more
interested and better informed than
ever before we might all help to
avoid dangerous spots on the road.

Roosevelt carried Rockville by a
majority of more than 200. He swept
Bethesda by over 200 and lost Chevy
Chase by nearly 500. Silver Spring
turned in Democratic margin of
over 700. Ta2oma Park voted a
slight majority for Landon and
Lewis.
In the upper county, among tn e
farmers, Roosevelt carried every dis
trict. Lewis trailed along slightly
behind the presidential ticket.
Last, but not least, in the interest,"
of Montgomery County voters, wa
the overwhelming vote cast in favor
of the third amendment, providing a
fourth Judge for the Sixth Judicial
Circuit embracing Montgomery and
Frederick counties).
