Tom Sawyer To Appear
At Milo May 1851

1.-THE Adventures of Tom Sawyer"
which has been produced by David
o. Selznick as a lavish Technicolor
production and which comes to the
Milo Theatre Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, May 15-16-17 was, in it's
essence, an autobiography of the
early life of Mark Twain, embell-
ished with anecdotes and exaggera-
tons from the authors fertile i'm
agination.
In preparing the picture, there
fore, Selznick International carried
an extensive research into the ap-
pearance of the town of Hannibal in
1845 and its people.
None of the principal characters
in the book were made up by Mark
Twain; they were all people whom
he knew and with whom he asso-
ciated during the period from his
fifth to his nineteenth year, which
he spent in Hannibal. And many of
the famous incidents in the book oc-
Cured in real life almost exactly
as he told them.

Letters to the Editor
How Did 1t Happen?

Dear Editor:
1t was my pleasure to be a guest
at the banquet recently held by the
Future Farmers of Gaithersburg High
School.
The president of the organization,
Maurice Ward of Jamestown, pre-
sided.
Not being personally acquainted
with any of the members of this or
ganization, l was interested in their
appearance as they arose to take part
in the transaction of the business of
the evening and to take part in the
program of the evening.
I'm sure every parent present was
proud of the genteel and intelligent
appearance of these future farmers.
One thing puzzled my mind.
] wondered why not one curl of
smoxe assembled from cigar or Gig
arctic, or pipe in the banquet hall
throughout the evening.
Some famous smokers from the
Farm Bureau were present but they
did not smoke.
At Farm Bureau banquets the ban
quet room is blue with smoke from
cigarettes of both men and women.
/ do not understand why the law
prohibits teachers and pupils from
smoking in school buildings and then
the school auditorium when used by
the parents as banquet room for the
Farm Bureau both men and women
smoke the place blue.
1t would surely be step upward
if at functions held in school build
ings the same courtesy" should ap-
ply for the grown-ups as for teachers
and school children, No smoking in
school buildings.
Millions of dollars are spent each
year in cigarettes. No one is too
poor, it seems, to buy cigarettes.
There was time when no man
was a gentleman if he smoked in the
presence of lady without her per-
mission.
Those were times when men raised
their hats to women.
Now they are on the same level.
Men have not gone up; womanhood
has come down.
All praise to the smokeless Future
Farmers Banquet of Gaithersburg
High School.

" WHAT is THE USE of fine main
highways if the farmers cannot get
to them to use them?' he asked at a
meeting of County Commissioners.
Let's build and rebuild our main
highways as necessary, but let us not
rest content till every farmer in the
State is able to reach them all the
year. By farm to market roads are
meant light roads capable of standing
up undes farm traffic, with proper
drainage, so they are passable twelve
months in the year.

A FINE TRIBUTE to the scenic
and historic attractions of Maryland
has been paid to the state through
the medium of the new pictorial map
now being distributed by an oil COM
pany. On it Maryland's chief places
of interest are graphically depicted
by illustrations in four colors, each
drawing showing automatically the
appearance of the subject treated.
For example, Annapolis appears with
sizable illustration of corps of
Navy Academy cadets; Frederick has
a likeness of the Barbara Fritchie
house, and Baltimore is shown by
grouping of four pictures of places
interesting to tourists. The map has
an additional value educationally in
that the states main industries and
agricultural products are similarly
illustrated and located. Altogether
there are 26 Maryland illustrations.

AERIAL CYMNAST
 MAY COME BACK


 Providence, R. T., Dec. CUP)- Six years ago Lora Valadon plunged 70 feet into a theater aisle at Read ing, Pa., while performing aerial gymnastics. She proudly shook her graying hair today and said: I'm coming back" Since her slim body twirled dizzily in the air after she lost her crasp on a taut wire that night, Lora has undergone 20 major operations in Rhode Island hospital.
 Now she is spending her first Christmas week since the accident at home with her husband Dan, once her professional partner, whom she married 35 years ago after a whirlwind courtship of four days in the wings of Worcester's old Park theater.
 Lora, whose speciality was sliding down a taut wire stretched from the ceiling to the stage, once performed at the command of King George VI when he attended the Toronto ex- position while Prince of Wales.

So The Sandbags Got Out And Actually Walked!
Mr. Chapman's Explanation Meets With Prompt Denial-Busses Tied Up in Overlook Section =
 Wrecker Called to Rescue

Waterville via Melbourne terrace. The company's petition for such permission had been pending for some time, and had been strongly opposed by many Overlook resi- dents.
 The letter, headed MT. Chap mans Sandbags Actually Walked follows:
 "As residents of Overlook we wish to refute Manager Charles Chapman's statement published in last nights Democrat. At about 12:45 p. m. Tuesday a bus became stalled on Melbourne terrace due to gears becoming damned.
 MT. Chapman was informed by telephone. A c. R. & L. wrecker and a private car from the com- pany were sent to the scene. Be- fore these arrived, about six busses and four private courS were in- volved."
 For over one-half hour there was serious tie-up on a spot too narrow to allow passing. The so-called experimental sandbags' were forced to get out = actually walk = and transfer to other buSSeS.
 We ask that MT. Chapman give out facts, not fiction, about this dangerous bus service on an un- developed highway.
 OVERLOOK TAXPAYERS OF
 OVERLOOK"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-12-29

Several residents of the Over look section today denied the statement made yesterday by Manager Charles Chapman of the c. R. & L. Lines that there was no serious traffic tie-up, involving busses on the new Melbourne ter- race route to Waterville, on Tues day. In letter to The Democrat, they stated that there was a Seri- ous traffic tangle caused by busses on the new route early Tuesday afternoon, claiming that six busses and several private cars were in- volved, and that a wrecker was called to the scene.
 MT. Chapman was questioned by The Democrat yesterday about re- ports that there had been seri- ous bus tie-up in the Overlook sec- ton. He said that there had been some trouble early Tuesday in climbing through the heavy snow and slush. but that there was no tie-up. The reports, he said, were undoubtedly based on the fact that several busseS were at Melbourne terrace Tuesday after noon for experiments involving gear ratios, Sandbags, he said, were used to simulate passengers. The experiments, he said, had ended satisfactorily.
