ROADS TO PEACE,

Peace is what the world wants,
but the question is, How can we
have peace?"
For years, Hitler and Mussolini
Vhave been taking what they wanted,
and Japan has been helping her
self to China. If they are allowed
to go on with this sort of thing,
It will be road to peace" of a
certain kind, but it probably will
fail in the long run.
Germany has broken the Czecho-
slovak shell. Most of the power
full forts which once guarded the
republic are gone. Hitler has said
he wouldn't demand any more, but
perhaps it is too much to expect
him to stand by his word.
If Germany keeps driving east
ward, she may place other small
countries under her power-Hun-
gary, Rumania and Yugoslavia.
With this new help, what nation
will be able to stand against her?
There are many German-speaking
people in Switzerland, and that
would be fine country to own.
Poland has German-speaking peo-
pie inside its borders, and so does
Denmark. Belgium has several
thousands of them, and Holland
might be classed as largely Ger
manic or Nordic in its race.

West undoubtedly should have
opened trump. But, not wishing
to place his partners honors in
jeopardy, he decided on a diamond.
Winning with the diamond ace,
South ruffed a diamond, cashed his
king OF hearts and ace of clubs, then
trumped club in dummy. The
heart ace gave South club discard,
and another diamond ruff brought
him down to four trumps and two
small clubs. East was now thrown
in with club, whereupon he played
his last diamond. South trumped
with the nine, and when this held
the trick, his contract was assured.
He simply played out his last club
and now, since his three remaining
cards were the king-queen-lO of
spades, he was bound to win two
OF the tricks.
1t is worthy of note that the spade
suit was the only one in which game
could have been produced.

Riqht Suit

A two-suiter is universally recog-
nized as the most powerful type of
bridge hand. especially If partner
holds support for either suit. How
ever, when partner himself happens
to hold two-suiter in the two other
suits, there are liable to be fireworks
in the bidding. as each player is
bound to feel that one of his suits
should be declared trump. Such was
the case in today's hand. South
finally winning the contract largely
because he held spades, the top
ranking suit. There was more than
just plain obstinacy in South's re-
fusal to allow his partner to play
one of his two suits. South reasoned
that with spades as trump he would
be able to win five trump tricks plus
his side ace and king. Now if North
held three top tricks. game in spades
should be produced. South felt 50
sure his analysis Of the hand was
correct that, when East doubled, he
promptly redoubled.

RING IN THE NEW !

We have come a long way
since last tolled the bells to
herald the arrival Of a new
year. We have travelled
many paths and byroads to
lead us to the birth of a
1889. Many of us have pros
pered with this passing of
time, others of us can scarce
ly say we are sorry to bid it
adieu, but however our per-
sonal feelings regarding the
old, the new is before us and
we look upon it as bright.
This community and thou
sands like it have received
blessings of civic advantages
and face the new year with
the hope of added improve
ments and bounties for the
home town.
This closing of the book on
1888 is sad, as we grow older
with its passing. Life is far
too short for most of us.
This year has been bOuntiful,
as all years are bountiful in
some way, to all of us. The
sadness that it has held has
only seasoned us for expert
ences that might await us in
other years ahead. We re-
joice in the pleasant men,
cries it holds for us and we
plan for other glories and
gifts in the coming new one.
The local and national chap
ter in this book of years has
had items of Importance for
all of us and we profted in
experience in civic affairs,
national crises and interna-
tional entanglements. We
are a much wiser people, and
let us remember this in 1889.
AS hard as one may try
there are always opportuni-
ties missed, tasks left undone
from one year to the next.
We are determined to avail
ourselves of every situation
which might arise in this new
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1938-12-29

year that would be for the
betterment of our homes and
our community. We must
make a program for govern
ment and home improvement
and we must stick to that
program until completion.
There is no community where
improvement is complete. It
is our desire to give our mes
sage of good fellowship and
well-wishing to all the citi-
zens of our county and it's
surrounding territory, with
the hope that they join in
making the new year a shin
ing one in our local history
through their willingness to
cooperate. Opportunities to
better ourselves and our COM
munity lie ahead and if a
man looks back over a dying
year and cannot say to him
self, II have gained in both
spiritual and material things,
that man has only himself to
blame. After all, a new
year is born a baby with but
365 days of life. We hope to
have many years ahead to
fill with accomplishments and
achievement, but time flies!

much less; extra cold frames are not
needed for hardening plants for
transplanting; it is not necessary to
use flats; less labor is required; and
they are cheaper to operate unless
the greenhouse is used for other pur-
poses.
When used to furnish bottom heat
in propagating benches in green
houses, electricity has the following
advantages: Maintenance of constant
soil temperature best suited for the
cuttings being rooted; soil easily
maintained at temperatures higher
than the air-a condition conducive
to roofing of cuttings; higher per-
centage Of cuttings take root; they
root In much shorter time; and no
danger Of overheating.
Full information on the construc-
ton, installation, operation and cost
of electric hotbeds may be obtained
without charge from your state coll
lege or university, or from the manu-
facturers of such equipment. AS an
indication of the reasonable first cost
of such an installation, it may be
pointed out that all the cable and
controls necessary for four g. x s.
frames can be purchased for $40 or
less.
Operating costs vary widely with
the type and construction of the hot
bed. its insulation and exposure, and
many other factors. However, when
outside temperatures average around
freezing, it will require from 11k to
2h kw.-hr. per frame per day to
maintain the bed at 60 degrees. At
the three-cent rate "a lower one often
is available), this amounts to from
$1.35 to $2.25 per frame per month,
with the average over the entire heat
ing season approaching the lower
figure.

Of appropriation bills. Work has
been started on many of them by
committees which have charge. But
it should be remarked that the work
has been only started. It is by no
means finished. For in these money
bills this year there are tons and
tons of hot air. There are not
enough rubber stamps to bring a
majority vote if, as and when want
ed, like it has been for the last sew
eral sessions. In other words, in
the forthcoming session, unless all
signs fail, there will be close scruti-
ny of appropriation bills.
Congress Won't Vote Money
Just to Please the President
From present indications, I be-
lieve it may be said that Mr.. Roose-
welt will get money out of the cur
rent session of congress only when
the congress decides it desires to
vote money. It will not vote money
just because the President say 2
money shall be voted. Further, it
appears certain that there will be
no more "blank check" appropria-
tons. The end has come for that
sort of thing. Hereafter, one may
expect that congress will have its
say as to what is done with the
money, where and how it will be
spent. In other words, there is such
intense hatred of Professional Re-
lever Harry Hopkins that the bulk
of the congressional membership is
awaiting an opportunity to clip
Harry's wings as the worlds great
est spender. And it might be added
just here, too, that there are GER
tain senators and representatives
who would rather welcome chance
to take slap at the whole new deal
relief setup, not to mention a side
wise smearing that thereby would
be given the President. It must be
remembered that Mr.. Hopkins is
Mr.. Roosevelt's closest friend and
adviser.
This national defense program
about which the administration has
been doing so much talking has its
merits, believe. AS far as / have
talked with officials, with students
of international affairs, with foreign
representatives, I find none who is
happy about the prospect. It is a
straight-out challenge to the democ-
racies of the world that has been
waved by Hitler, Mussolini and the
others. Dictatorship is feeling its
oats. With Communism on the one
hand and Fascism on the other,
there surely is need for prepared
ness, and that is what Mr.. Roose-
welt is proposing.

Railroad Picture Important
As Is the Defense Program

The railroad picture is as impor-
tant in domestic way as is the
defense program. Indeed, can not
help wondering what our defense
program would be like if the rail
lines break down. l am told that
the war department has figures
showing that if the railroads were
called upon to haul Is per cent
more traffic now than they hauled
in 1887, some of the freight trains
would be taking short cuts across
corn fields and trying to leap over
creeks.
Some of the senators and some
administration officials want to pro-
vide additional government loans to
the rail lines to help them build up
their rights of way. That sounds
foolish to me. To loan them more
money is simply to break their
backs with added debt. They have
all of the debt that they can stand
now.
have about reached the conclu-
sion that an actual subsidy to the
railroads may be the best and the
cheapest thing to do. Give them
cash; treat them as other means
of transportation have been treated.
There is no use denying it, for the
government has subsidized water
ways. 1t is giving cold cash to the
merchant marine. 1t has subsidized
highway construction which in turn
enabled the sale of motor cars. It
has given funds for airport con-
struction and has construction light
ed anyways for planes. Each and
every one of these is subsidy and
calling them by any other name
does not change the fact.
1t would seem to me, therefore,
that if the administration and con-
gress were to vote a plain sub
sidy of a couple of hundred million
dollars year for, say three years,
they would be rebuilding an industry
we must have for peace as well as
war. The funds could be granted
TOR use on roadbeds and buildings.
