The Board took the request under ad-
v cement.

TENDER Is, as the opening date for

The Court House
Cement Wall

"The time has come" the Council
said,
ITO call a halt on things
Like sitting on the Court House Wall
In dusky gatherings.
It is a shame, an outrage, too,
To mar that property;
And all the ladies of our town
1t inks their dignity.
DO you suppose" a member said,
Some signs would turn the tides
Which sprinkle brown tobacco stains
And hall our pavement hides ?"
"We've tried before" one member
said,
But things got out of gear"
HE thought Of all the spatterings
And shed bitter tear).
The signs went up with jealous bangs
But short-lived was the glee,
Some words had erred, or missed a
beat,
In technicality.
But lawyers came, as lawyers will,
To calm the populace
And fixed the Ordinance designed to
make
sew order in the place.

j. SOmerveu Dawson
Resigns AS Casey
Aide; Hits Policies
Young Democratic Leader Does
Not Agree With Tactics
Of Independents

Declaring himself not in sympathy
with the Independent Democratic fac
ton in Montgomery County, J. SOM
ervll Dawson, recording secretary Of
the faction, Monday resigned as a
member Of the faction and as record
| ing secretary to Eugene Casey, gem
eral chairman.
Dawson, who has been prominent in
the United Young Mems Democratic
Clubsb of Montgomery County, Of
which Casey is president, declared
that the Independent movement had
its inception as a protest against the
harmony deal with Clay Plummer and
John oxley but that, this particular
situation, the faction has placed full
ticket in the field Gin direct opposi-
tion to every candidate ofthe Demo-
cratic organization in Montgomery
County and made public statements Of
disparagement about the titular head
Of the Democratic Party in the
County, Robert B. Peter, Democrats
county chairman.
Dawson further charges in his let
ter of resignation that those most in
terested and active in its continuance
were the perennial ants, disgruntled
remnants of the dead Fusion Party
and political opportunists who were
seeking to use the Independents for
purposes Of self-aggrandisement or as
a hat rack on whichthey might hang
the hats of the various candidates for
State and National Office.
"The Independent ticket, he con-
timed, which was to be composed Of
Experienced, capable and efficient
candidates, does not on the whole
measure up to the experience, capabil-
ity and efficiency of the organizations
ticket and the recent statements Of
various Independent leaders about
Senator Stedman Prescott's candidacy
for the Circuit Court judgeship have
been aimed below the belt.
"This has been deplored by the ma
jority of Democrats in the county
who, like myself, consider Senator
Prescott to be the one man who has
done more for the Democratic party
than anyone else in Montgomery
county.
"In the meantime the Republicans
of Montgomery County have stood by
to cheer the activities of the Independ-
ent group sensing that Democratic
party rift, to which they lend every
encouragement, will enhance their
chances in the general election.
"As Democrat believing party
government and sincerely interested
in the success of the Democratic
Party cannot and will not support
a group detrimental to the very in
terestsof the Democratic Party.
Dawson added that intelligent criti-
cism must be the province Of every
minority party but that it is incum-
bent to purpose remedy when flaw
is pointed out. "Mere calling of names
or explosive generalities can help
neither Montgomery County nor the
Democratic Party, he said.

FROM 1900 TO 1881 the propert

FROM 1900 TO 1881 the property
owned by the county in the town es-
capped being levied upon toward the
towns bonded indebtedness. During
that time, the commissioners contrib
uted nothing toward the upkeep of
the water and sewer systems. The late
Senator Robert Hilton engineered a
bill through the Legislature in 1881
whereby the town would receive
s1,050 annually to be applied on the
indebtedness. Water rent is paid -
running up to about $500. No direct
sewer tax is paid.

SENATOR TYDINGS' attitude to-
ward rural Identification was de-
Tended by Wendell M. Reed, president
Of the Tri-County COOPERATIVE As
ISOLATION, Inc, of La Plata. The state
ment was Forthcoming after an in
curry from a Southern Maryland
banker as TO the part played by the
Senator in furnishing electric service
to isolated rural areas. Mr.. Reed said:
u am amazed that any resident OF
Maryland should have 70 ask for in
formation concern ing Senator
Tydings' attitude toward rural cleo
trlflcation in our state. Our associa-
ton had sought loan from the kurai
Electriticatlon Administration for 100
miles of rural lines to serve some 6OO
farm homes in Prince Georges,
Charles and st. Mary's counties. The
project was held up after ALLEGATION OF
funds had first been granted to us
and committee of men interested in
the plan, including myself, called on
Senator Tydings in Washington. He
promised to take the matter up fol-
US with the Rural Electriication Ad-
ministration and on May 20 of last
Year, Senator Tydings telegraphed me
that loan contract in the amount OF
1850 with the Southern Maryland
Tri-County Cooperative Association
Inc, had just been signed by the
Rural Electrification Administrator
Since Senator Tydings interested him.

the Government have moved along

transmission lines, together with
generating plant to serve them, is al
last under way"

ARTHUR HUNGERFoRD, one of
Tydings' opponents for the Senate,
continues to lambast both the incum-
bent and Davy Lewis. Mr.. Hunger
ford, given no chance to get anywhere
IN the race, spares neither brother
candidate in his series of speeches
and statements delivered to the press
and public.

Sharing Service With the Living Christ
THE WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

for their religion and with these, faith
and hope were corn again in their
hearts. This is what the empty tomb
did for Jesus disciples when they
realized that instead of a corpse to
embalm, they had living Savior to
serve in newness of life.
The Angel Message.
Entering into the tomb, they saw
a young man sitting on the right sida
arrayed in white robe; and they
were amazed. And He said unto them
Be not amazed; We seek Jesus, the
Nazarene, who hath been crucified
He is risen; He is not here; behold the
place where they laid him." And they
beheld not only an empty grave bu-
an empty chrysalis- shell OF
crave clothes lying undisturbed in
their original position in the form OF
His body. Beholding this brought their
faith ard hope to life again. '"They
saw md beliaved"
"And Peter"
It is natural that Mark, who go,
from Peter the facts of his gospel
should be the one to pass on the
message the angel gave for the 'spe-
cial comfort of Peter, who denied
Christ go tell His disciples and
Peter, He goeth before you into Gait
lee; there shall we see Him.. as He
said unto YOU" If Judas, the Getrayer
had not already closed the door Of
hope by suicide, might the message
not have read "And Peter and Judas?"
Truly there are no hopeless cases
with Jesus! His forgiving love anG
saving grace are all inclusive. "Who-
soever WILL may come"
The WOrk-Sharing Savior.
