IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our dear hus-
band, father and son, Norman S. Hen
derson, who departed this life, April
20, 1889, at the age of "a years.
What would we give his hand to clasp
His smiling face to see,
The world seems changed, since that
sad day,
The one we loved "God called away
His will be done we must obey
He'll make it plain to US some day.
Deep in our hearts there's a picture
Of loved one laid at rest
In memory's frame we shall keep it.
For he was one of the best.
Sadly missed by wife, daughters
and mother. Also mother and
father-in-law.

Economy" at the expense of any of
the foregoing subjects of proposed
legislation? If so, please explain
briefly.
In an interview here today, S. Earl
Tromley, Chairman of the Leagues
Executive Committee, announced that
nine completed questionnaires had
been returned to the Secretary, in re-
Spouse to their request. He said that
he desired to express publicly the
Leagues sincere appreciation and
gratitude to the responding candi-
dates for their courtesy and kind CO.
operation.
According to statements of Mr..
Tromley, the members of the Eastern
Shore Veterans Non-partisan League
are not only veterans; but they are
loyal, 1000 Americans, most Of whom
are married and have families. AS
good American citizens, they are in
terested in good government, good
public officials and sufficient positive
information, concerning candidates
for public offices, as will enable the
veterans of this Congressional Dis
trict to vote intelligently. He stated
that the chief purpose in submitting
a QUESTIONABLE to candidates was to
learn just what might be expected
from them, with reference to the sub
jects covered, in the event of election.
He also reported that, at a meet
ing of the League, held at Easton, on
April "a, the reply of each candidate
was read, considered carefully and
acted upon, without divulging the
name of it's author; that the reply
to each question was acted upon sep
arately; and by vote, each answer was
declared to be either satisfactory"
or unsatisfactory. Mr.. Tromley
said that the method used in grading
the replies of candidates prevented
unfair treatment of any candidate;
and that their conclusions represent
most sincere and impartial judgment.
He concluded the interview by an
nouncing that the answers contained
in four of the completed question
naires were accepted by the League
as entirely satisfactory" to the
needs and for the purposes of the vet
Grams of the First Congressional Dis
trict of Maryland.
The satisfactory" replies were
submitted by,
Former Governor Harry w. Nice,
Republican Candidate for the United
States Senate,
William H. Lloyd, Republican Can
didate for Congress,
F. Kirk Maddrix, Republican Candi-
date for Congress, and
State Senator Thomas F. Johnson,
Democratic Candidate for Congress.

British Air Force In
 Fierce Blow At Nazis
Continued From Page D

The pilot of the fighting plane that hit the road bailed out but his parachute broke and he fell to his death in a playing field at a school. The pilot of the other fight CT was wounded. He was taken to a hospital under guard.
 There had been a momentary Slackening on mass German raids on Great Britain, but there was every sign that the raids were in- tensifying in their large aspect as the German war machine awaited the order for a mass invasion at tempt.
 British planes had bombed Dun- kirk harbor, striking at ships on which the Germans might send troops across the narrow belt of sea to British shores. They had bombed aircraft factories and parks, gasoline depots, a synthetic oil plant, munitions factories, canal barges and munitions plants in the Ruhr, home of the great Krupp Works.
 Six German bombers dived from the clouds on British convoy of the southeast English coast and dropped about 100 bombs but were believed to have made no hits. As they were circling for second at tack, British fighters attacked them from above and were reported to have shot one down. The others fled for home.

 Pathos In Situation
 There is some pathos in the situ- ation. Canadians carrying vases of flowers have been turned back at the border. They were merely go- ing to the graves of relatives buried on the American side and found it difficult to understand why they should have passports.
 To get a passport, Canadian must apply to the nearest provincial authority, which is some distance. Proving his nationality, he pays a dollar and the application is sent to Toronto. When the passport comes back, he must appear before an American consul to get it visaed. The Canadians say the entire pro- cess would cost them $50 and they simply can't afford it.
 Americans travelling to Canada are not required to have passports. However, to assure reentry into the United States, U. s. Immigration authorities require proof of citizen- ship and Identification. Birth cer- tficates, baptismal certificates, natu- ralization papers, or certificates is- sued by board of election stating that the possessor is 8 registered voter, are recommended. In addi- ton, personal papers addressed to the person seeking entrance must also be presented. Included in this category would be bankbooks, per- sonal letters, bills or receipts of bills paid.
 Americans residing in the Trout river area must go to Malone, 10 miles below the border, to apply for certificates if they do not possess them, and then wait for the papers to arrive. While the fee is small, the time and trouble involved is too much, they say.

WALLACE NOT TO
 QUIT CABINET

Chicago, July 24-(UP)-Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace said today he has mo intention" of re- signing from the cabinet to cam paign as the Democratic nominee for vice-president.
 Wallace, en route from Des Moines to Washington, declined at a press conference to discuss politics before he talks with the President tomor- row. He stopped at Chicago to ad- dress meeting of agricultural lead- CTS from 12 farm states.
 Questioned about rumors that President Roosevelt, if elected to an unprecedented third term, plans to resign as soon as international af-- fairs become quieter, Wallace said.
 Tt is incredible that MT. Roose- welt should step out when he is needed so much for poth internal and world affairs"
