REUNION HELD
AT PEN MAR, ON SUNDAY

The Bowman clan held a very
enjoyable reunion at Pen Mar
Park on Sunday, with an approx
mate attendance of $50 persons.
A large picnic dinner was served.
Music was furnished by an orches-
ira from Washington, D. C. At a
meeting at which Earl H. Bowman
presided, the following officers
were elected: President, Earl H.
Bowman, Smithsburg; vice presi-
dent, David Bowman and secre-
tray-treasurer, Miss Ruth Bowman,
both of Hagerstown. Addresses
were made by Earl H. Bowman
and Amos Bowman, Chewsville
1t was decided to hold the reunion
again next year at Pen Mar, on
the third Sunday in August.

snatched the silken scarf" and
leaning out over the window
where a thousand bullets could
have struck her, she shook the
Stars and Stripes into the faces
of the amazed soldier troopers
and uttered these immortal
words:
"Shoot if you must. this old gray
head,
But spare my country's flag" she
said.
Then comes Jackson's order re-
specting her patriotism and valor::

stood and who. through the years
since that time, has been in spirit
holding up to view the Nations
Flag to us.
Although poets sometimes grab
onto the least pretext to write,
and fired by their poetic magma
ton, pen beautiful lines. In this
instance we have a most excellent
and inspiring poem which will
live through the years to come as
conveying mighty good sentiment

of our country.

will ever live - Johnson, the gov

Fritchie, just an old aged woman
of staid old Frederick Town who
was patriotic through and through
and who showed it with her frail
and feeble body but determined
soul.
AS we took a retrospective view
of this grave in the center of
beautiful Mt Olivet. there came
especially to our mind this verse
of Whittier's poem:
Over Barbara F'ritchie's grave,
Flag of Freedom and Union
wave"
The house now used as a mu-

Recently. as we passed through
Frederick we were reminded that
we were on historic ground. A
marker at the entrance to Mt.
Olivet Cemetery, there, brought
this to our attention In this GEM
etery, the marker stated, were
buried two very important person
ages of the past - Thomas JOhn-
son, the first governor Of Mary
land. and Barbara Fritchie. They
were far different individuals, but
most important in their way.
In the Washington County LII
brary is book entitled, Life OF
Thomas Johnson 1t was written
by Edward S. Delaplane, of Fred
erick. In this book the author
gives much interesting informa-
ton regarding this man who play
ed such an important part in the
forming of our National and State
governments. Johnson was assO'
ciated with George Washington
and was three times Governor OF
Maryland. He was a member OF
the Continental Congress and AS
sociate Justice of the United
States Supreme Court. Rose Hill
Mansion the home of Johnson, is
located in the northern suburbs OF
Frederick. Here he spent the last
% years of his life, dying on Oc-
tober 26, 1919.
And Barbara Fritchie The name
no doubt is familiar to almost all
boys and gir]S especially those
in their teens. They surely know
that the poet, John Greenleaf
Whittier. immortalized the name
of Barbara Fritchie, in his poem
named after her.
The poet tells this dramatic
story that only a poet, such as
Whittier could pen it. And we
do not care to have any asper-
sions thrown on it, either, not
withstanding the fact that we
heard a Frederick citizen say he
understood that at the time of the
incident the street over which
you enter Frederick from Hagers-
town, and along which today you
see a sign stating this was her
home. was closed to traffic at the
time. This. he said, was due to
street construction and back
street had to be used by every
BODY. including the soldiers of
Stonewall Jackson. This part of
the poets story may be wrong
somebody may have been mistak-
en-but who wants to spoil
beautiful story, anyway.
"When Lee marched over the
mountain wall" Horses and foot

tells us Barbara Fritchie was
four score and 10 years old, in
plain vernacular-70 years. She
''took up the flag the men hauled
down. and as up the street the

at the scene being enacted was
given. When the flag fell from

DEVICE FOR PILOTS 10
 SEE IN FOG

GLENDALE, Cai. Y 2. .8.- Aa ny-.lta-, Who for w. decades has turned his talents toward achiev- ing safety in the air, believes he has found way to "see" through fog-a pilots most bitter enemy.
 He is Guy Ball who twenty-one years ago perfected an army para chute and who two years ago won safety society's award for devel- oping a ground-illuminating flare.
 The fog piercing apparatus, he de- clares, is a photoelectric cell sensi- tive to mira -red rays. He credits an associate, w. L. Cummings, pion- ger electric manufacturer, with cre- ating a cell after many scientists had called it impossible.
 Demonstrating with scale mod el he claims has been tested suc- cessfully, Ball explained that the principle is one of capturing infra- red rays passing through fog and transferring them to a sort of "tele- vision screen" on an airplaane's n- strument board.
 The result, he goes on, will be a picture of the terrain below the fog, passing before the pilots vis- ion on the screen as the rays pene- trate an iconoscope camera lens, strike a silver plate in the cell and travel on electrical impulses through an amplifier to a regulator cathode ray tube.
 Ball plans to start work on a full scale unit shortly, which he says will be installed in a planes nose. He said he and Cummings did not plan to patent their device, fearing the secret of the cells construction would become known.

Passengers disembarked from the 24 hours delayed steamer Alaska this forenoon warm in their praise of veteran Capt. o. Anderson who performed the remarkable naviga- tional feat of turning the steamer about, halfway through Wrangell Narrows in a dense fog at 3 O. clock Tuesday morning.
 After waiting at anchor several hours for the tide, Capt. Anderson started through the Narrows from the Wrangell end. Halfway through, in about the narrowest part of the slim channel, sudden fog rolled in, solid blanket in the night.
 With an hour and a half of flood remaining, Anderson dropped the heck, let the stern swing With

STEVENS GIVEN LIGHT
SENTENCE

!eeee Stevens. veteran mail carrier,
was sentenced to serve six months In
the county jail, after having plead
guilty to charges of having taken
$1,000 from the mails.
Stevens was defrended by r. Angus
tine Skinner, Attorney,
In passing sentence, Judge Joyce
tated that possible sentence might be
ten years.
Iiahtness of the sentence was pro-
babl, due to the manner in which Mr..
Skinner l,andled the defense, as he was
conimend,3 BY court officials for the
manner in hich he presented his case.
Speaking ! + his client, the defense
attorney made short but apparently
convincing argument as the sentence
was the lightest given in the past six
months for similar offenses.
~ nsssIi1g sentence Judge Joyce
stated that there would be no proba-
ton for such offenses, as they had be-
come too numerous.
Prior to his present trouble, Mr..
Stevens had had an excellent record;
both as a postal employee, and as a
citizen.
