OXFORD CLAIMS OLDEST
UNITED STATES OFFICIAL

Miss Mollie Stewart had the time
of her life as Maryland's official dele
gate to the annual convention of the
National Association of Postmasters
at st. Paul, MINI.
The oldest postmaster in the United
States in point of service having
headed the post office at Oxford, for
sixty-one yeaers Miss Mollie naturally
has been a center of attention at the
meeting there.
One day her "boss", James A. Far
ley, Postmaster General, made a
point Of looking her up and talking
to her at length about her record. The
association presented her with an en-
graved plaque and she sat at the
speakers table at the annual banquet.
Another highlight in her 81 years
of life came when she was taken on
half-hour flight in an airliner. Miss
Mollie, who made her first flight ten
years ago, didn't want to come down.
AS a matter of fact, she wanted to
fly from Baltimore to the convention,
but was persuaded to take train.
Although she has failed in her aim
of bringing next years convention to
Baltimore-it will go to Washington
she has been an active member of the
resolutions committee. She returned
to Baltimore Sunday.

this bookcase is to be filled with new

Shockley at school again. Betty AIMS
absence last week was due to illness.
THE HORNBOOK
Did YOU ever hear Of hornbook? ?
1t really wasn't book at all. 1t was
a thin board with a printed sheet of
paper fastened to it. Over the sheet
of paper was placed sheet of trans
parent horn. This was done so that
the page would not get soiled and
torn. The board had handle. Some
times a careful mother would put a
string through a hole in the handle.
Then the child would wear it around
his neck. Imagine wearing book to
school!
THE NEW ENGLAND PRIMER
The New England Primer was first
printed in 1888. It was about the
size of a post card. It used curious
material to teach little children to
read. A page from the primer show
ed the letters of the alphabet. Be-
side each letter was a little verse.
For instance, A In Adams Fall, We
Sinned All. B, Thy life to mend, This
bood attend.
It did not contain pretty pictures
or interesting stories as our books do
today.

does not believe in the gag"
film which he says works on the
principle that the public is too
dumb bunny to appreciate any
other sort of motion picture style.
He believes that a good subject

tackle. He defies anyone to pic
ture the moving ideas in the
devaluation of the dollar.
Talented Writer
The documentary" field in
which he is working will shortly
be invaded by hundreds of films
to be produced by patriotic or
CARNATIONS which will probably
be forced on theater owners.
Lorentz doesn't like anything to
be forced on the public. He be-
walls the advertising stuff most
theaters spread on thickly. .Lo-

Negotiations With Perky
Involving Right Of Way
Called Off This Morning
Commissioners Make Deci-
sion During Meeting
Held To Discuss Mat
ter

Matters pertaining to the right
of way of the Overseas Highway
over certain holdings of the
Perky interests. were the sub
jects Of considerable discussion at
a meeting of the county commits
sioners this morning. and il was
the sense of the meeting that all
negotiations with the Perky in
teresfs be brought 10 close.
Attending the meeting were
Chairman Bervaldi, Commission-
ers VIM. r. Porter, Norberg
Thompson, Clerk Ross Sawyer,
Attorney w. Curry Harris, and
Tax Collector Frank Ladd.
Some few weeks ago it was
thoroughly understood, as shown
at the meeting, that the commits
sioners were to pay the Perky
interests $4,000 for the entire
right of way over the holdings in
question.
1t now develops that Perky
will only grant the right of way
over the holdings of the company
from Big Pine Key to Key West,
reserving the right to exercise
complete authority over the right
of way from Lower Matccumbe
to the Dade county line.
The Perky interests want to
liquidate the entire taxes on the
holdings, approximately $780,
600. but reserve the right to ex-
ercise complete jurisdiction over
that portion of the holdings from
Lower Matecumbe up to the
county line.
Discussion was warm and a
number Of things brought up at
the meeting which tended to
show that the county had been
unfairly dealt with in the nego-
tiations with Perky, and it was
decided that if the stand now
taken by Mr.. Perky was his final
decision the best course for the
commissioners to pursue was to
'.call Off all negotiations, and il
was so. decided.
