Federation and the Bethesda Volun-
teer Fire Department and as one OF
the organizers Of the Alta Vista Com
munity League, now the Old George
town Road Citizens Association.
Formation of the Civic Federation
was carried out under Mr.. Kuhns su-
pervision in 1925, when citizens of the
county joined in a successful effort
to thwsrt plans for the construction
OF a belt-line railway through the
suburban section Of Montgomery.
He served as first president Of the
federation from 1925 through 1927
and was the first member of that
organization to receive the cup award
ed annually to the committee or dele
gate performing the most outstand-
ing public service in behalf of Mont
gomery County. >"
He was made an honorary life mem
Der Of the federation in October, 1888.
Suggested Fire Department.
The Bethesda Fire Department was
established at his suggestion in 1926.
He called meeting of 10 civic leaders
at Alta Vista and the proposal met
with such enthusiastic response that
S2,1O0 was subscribed at that meeting.
More than $4,000 was raised later in
a public drive for funds.
He was president of the fire de-
partment at one time and was an
honorary member of the Bethesda
Fire Board, executive unit of the de-
partment, at the time of his death.
He played vigorous part in organ
ization of the Alta Vista Community
League in 1927 and was the presiding
officer of that body at one time.
The pressure of private business
eventually forced his retirement from
active membership in civic organiza-
tions, but his counsel often was sought
by leaders Of many Montgomery asso-
Citations and he always took keen in
terest in their problems and assisted in
solving them.
He was one Of the first to offer his
aid when the Bethesda Chamber Of
Commerce fostered the campaign for
improvement of Wisconsin avenue from
the District of Columbia line to Old
Georgetown road and was made an
honorary life member of the chamber
for the part he played in the success
Of the drive.
Volunteered Trophy.
Shortly before his death he volun-
teered to present the Bethesda Cham
Der OF Commerce each year with tro-
ply, to be awarded to the resident of
the western suburban district of Mont
gomery County contributing the most
to the Identification of that area.
A few years ago Mr. Kuhn purchased
a large farm on the Potomac River.
near Chesapeake Bay, where he had
planned in later life to retire and
rough It," He had spent many Of
his week ends on this farm, supervis-
ing the planting and harvesting OF to-
bacco and corn.
Mr.. Kuhn was serving his third term
as chairman of the Executive Commit
tee of the Associated Press Managing
Editors Association, in which capacity
he presided at the annual meetings.
He was member of Delta Tau
Delta fraternity, the Temple Noyes
Lodge, F. A. A. M, and the Christian
Church.
In 1915 he married Ienora Martin
Rivero, daughter of the former Cuban
Minister. There are three daughters,
Lois Mary, Eleanor Margaret and
Frances.

"Yes. in my opinion conditions are

And so, the decision was made. We

Then Levanevsky spoke, asking
permission not for such fight, but
for fight with four-motored plane.
I had the floor next. I explained that
my final choice was with the ANT-25

Another argument set forth in the

tanning the projects once initiated,
amounting to 10 per cent of the in

state of Delaware, with only a portion
of the marshes ditched, would have
to spend upwards of $4,000 annual

Suffolk on Long Island, chosen as
typical, 100000 a year.

Washington Nov 4-The 1887 ship

It's close with a near record produc-
tlon OF most crops and with farm
prices generally lower than those of a

The Bureau also stated that indi.

son. A somewhat smaller acreage of
commercial early potatoes and of
many of the fall and winter truck
crops is in prospect.
During the next few months the
Bureau expects the prices of potatoes
to remain fairly stable, but prices of
sweet potatoes, onions, and cabbage
probably will show their usual sea-
sonal advance between now and next
spring" Potato prices in terminal
markets recently had been 30 cents to
81 per 100 pounds below the cores
ponding prices of last season when
production was relatively small. The
indicated potato crop for 1897 is seven
percent larger than the 1882 aver

In large scale no longer are fed the
fresh water necessary for the main
tenance of oysters; by the industries
supported by the estimated 100000
sportsmen in this country, and the
dangerous reduction of normal water
supplies to urban communities.
Concerning the fur trade, Mr.. Vogt
states that it has suffered greater
losses than perhaps any other indus
try as a result of wholesale destruc-
ton Of fur-bearing animals-losses
which have run into hundreds of mil
lions, considering the fact that "the
retail values of furs and trimmings
used annually in the United States
amounts to $5OO,0OO,OOO, that this coun
try produces raw furs with value twice
that of Soviet Russia and five times
that of Canadian furs."
The drainage of marshes, accord
ing to Mr.. Vogt, brings about a
change in the vegetation, so that the
wildlife which subsisted on the orr
ginal swamps is driven away or starv-
ed. Comparison between ditched and
unditched marshes of equal size re-
veals the fact that within six months
the ditched portion contained only
one-seventh of the animal life of the
unditched marsh. This is of para
mount Importance to sportsmen, and
the huge business which their sport
supports, for migrant waterfowl, the
hunters principal quarry in these
areas, depends largely on marshes for
food, cover and breeding places, and
cannot survive if marshes are wiped
out. Mr.. Vogt estimates that an aver
age of $650,000,OO0 is spent annually
by sportsmen.
In addition to being destructive Of
wild life, mosquito control as prac-
ticed does not, Mr.. Vogt maintains,
accomplish what it sets out to do.
