MONTGOMERY
III SIDELICHTS
BY Elsie White Haines

Well, it seems that we were un.
expectedly introduced to Howard
county last week, by way of the
Ellicott City Times, one of the
chain of five papers owned by ou1
publisher.
What he did not know is this;
the writer was born in Howard
county, and her paternal grand
father lived in Ellicott City at the
time of the Johnstown flood!
We have an old fashioned drop
leaf table that went through that
food. Father told us how the
water came higher and higher until
the furniture foated around, the
children meanwhile sitting on the
stairs and retreating to upper
floors as the water arose - until
it reached the ceiling and spilled
over into the next story.
AS we remember, the house was
a stone one near the mill; we
wonder if it is one of those still
standing. By the way, the old
table has marks on it that might
have been made by rubbing on the
ceiling = but we seem to remem-
Der a brother getting licking for
cutting it with his new pocket
knife.
Speaking of old furniture, there
were very few things used on the
"Gone With The Wind" set that
could not be found in Maryland did
you not recognize many of them?
We bought a "Gone With The
Wind" silk print for a dress-who
do you think was wearing it in the
play? Nanny!
We did not see the play until last
week, so had heard many COM
ments on it - our publisher had
seen it weeks before, he thought it
could be cut two hours and lose
nothing of the story-he would
being an editor he just loves to
WELD the blue pencil.
Mr.. Ady, editor of the Sentinel,
who is an artist at photography;
agrees with us, he would not cut a
scene of that wonderful portrayal.
We have to admit though that we
close our eyes tightly at times and
tried not to listen; especially to
those hospital scenes. Another
friend spoke of Scarlett's gorgeous
eyes, green when she was jealous
- which was most of the time!
Some of our own impressions
the O'Hara's were not typically
Southern, but Irish; whiskey-
drinking, hard riding, temper
mental and fascinating, in a south
ern setting Scarlett's beautiful
eyes "put in with a dirty finger"
was to us the bravest coward of ali
time.
We loved the Tarlton red-reads
- we know 'cullud folks" like
those in the play, when we were
kids around Norbeck; Lou lilly
bossed us just as Nanny did
Scarlet. We were disappointed
that more of the darkey supersti-
tions were not used,-do you know
when you must put salt on wet
garment? We do.
Then the tears = too bad to
waste SO much water was our
: thought. Clark Gable is getting old
and leathery, and no longer roman
tic i. you can have your Scarlett,
give us Melanie or even Belle.
Some of the theatres are reviv-
ing "Birth Of A Nation" = we
thought sitting through it like
playing auction bridge after years
Of contract.
Goodbye you all, until next
week, and do see those shows if
you have not seen them.

fire before any bombs were dropped.
Five persons were injured and
many houses were damaged in one
Welsh town, where bombs tore
gaping holes in buildings, blew out
every window and uprooted trees.
The blasts tossed sidewalksblocks
over buildings and threw earth as
high as the top of the church
steeple.
1t was reported there were no
casualties in the machine-gun at
tack and no serious damage.
Night Raids Fatal.
German bombing planes, most OF
them flying extremely high. were re-
ported to have inflicted "some cas-
ualties, a few of which were fatal"
in night raids over Southeast and
Southwest England and Wales. The
fatalities, it was learned, were con-
fined to one Southeast England dis
trict.

carries II 6-inch guns and normal
complement of TOO men.

Announcement of the air attack
said the damage did not affect the
ships fighting efficiency, and she
took her full part in the action
against the Italian fleet on July 9,

ualties."

pay any attention to this third term
issue. In fact, the great majority
of those who oppose Roosevelt on
the third term would be against
him ANYWAY. In fact. these oppo-
nents belong to the Willkie camp"
Text of Letter.
Senator Burke's letter to Mr.. Will
kie follows:
"As one who feels deeply that in
the light of present world condi-
lions it is essential for our country
to maintain the two-term limitation
on the tenure of office of President,
shall work for your victory at
the polls in November.
Thus only may we make certain
that never again will any party or
any individual be tempted to try
to overturn the wise precedent es-
tabished by Washington, strength
ened by Jefferson, Madison, Monroe
and Jackson, and cherished by all
Americans who prize their freedom.
II am certain that host of citizens
nurture din the Democratic faith as
you and I have been will rally to
the defense of the vital principle
that under our form of government
a limitation on the tenure of office
of an all-powerful Executive is es-
sential. We share the firm convic-
ton of the patron saint Of the
Democratic party, Thomas Jefferson,
that should President ever consent
to be a candidate for third term
he will be rejected on this demon
stration Of ambitious views We
believe with another Democratic
President, Buchanan, that the
principle that no President should
be more than once reelected is as
sacred as If 1t were written in the
Constitution.
Jackson Stand Recalled.
Andrew jackson, honored by all
real Democrats, steadfastly MAIN
tanned that our liberties would pos
sess an added safeguard If our Pres
idents were limited to single term,
and his view became party doctrine
by action of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention in 1912. Grover

Aggressive Campaign Assured

With possibly the most efficient
national organization it has ever
known, the Republican party is pre-
pairing to wage an aggressive and
thorough-going campaign in all
parts of the nation to insure the
election of its nominees for presi-
ident and vice president of the
United States.
Already the machinery has been
set in motion for the building of a
highly effective instrument to &C.
complish this purpose.
Aside from the already proven
wide appeal of Wendell Willkie,
the nominee for President, and the
assurance that he will put forth a
most vigorous contest for the presi
dency, his personal efforts will be
ably seconded by his running mate,
Senator Charles L. McNary, and by
the full cooperation of every element
within the party.
Seldom has any nominee aroused
so great an enthusiasm as has Mr..
Willkie among party leaders or had
pledges of support so undivided.
With Representative Joseph W.
Martin. Jr.. Republican leader in
the House OF Representatives. as
chairman of the Republican Nation
al Committee, and with John Ham
ilton. former National chairman, US
his aide, the National committee
will function with full effectiveness.
Its efforts will be supplemented
by the highly representative cam
paign advisory committee, headed
by Governor Harold E. Stassen Of
Minnesota, temporary chairman
and "keynoter" OF the recent Re-
publican National convention. The
most complete cooperation between
these two bodies is assured.
Nor can it be doubted that the
rank and file of the party, together
with countless Democrats, disguised
with the New Deal, will rally be-
hind the splendid leadership that
has been provided Kalispell Times
Glacier County chief., 1940-08-23
The Country Comes First

A strike in one of the country s
major aircraft factories was recent
ly averted by a narrow margin.
The factory PLAYS a key role in the
new arms program.
One wonders when malcontents
will realize that the people will nc
logger stand for industrial disputes
which menace national security. il
labor and management can't get to-
gether and settle their troubles with.
out disrupting production, the au'
thority of government will of neces
sity be used to control them.
Labor and industry have a chance
today to show the stuff they are
made Of. When the nation dictates
the policy that will take men fol-
national defense, it cannot allow
labor or industry to dictate terms OF
employment or production.

How To Get
NatiOnaI.DefenSe Jobs

In the last of series of arti.
cles, Marjorie van de Water,
Science Service writer, outlines
the steps for securing jobs in the
defense industries. The first
step for a worker is to determine
definitely that the job he now has
is not one which is essential to
the national-defense program.
The next move is to 60 to the
office of the State employment
service and register there. The
people at the Office will be glad to
see skilled workers. the writer
says, for the Government is try
ing to assay the country's human
resources. Workers who are just
out of school, or those who have
no special vocational training,
may also go to the public employ
ment Offices. These offices are
