We recently thanked those who

those who have pointed out our
mistakes, for thank goodness we
realize we make mistakes, and we
hope we are wise enough to profit
by them - so we are starting the
Lenten season by confessing

the Farm Women's Cooperative

do thank them both for the nice

Mrs. Wilcox, then Miss Corwin
was County Home Demonstration
Agent, at the time the first Wom-
ems Market was started - later
opening her markets = one in
Bethesda and one in Silver Spring.
Many of the women in the three
markets were members of her
Homemaker and All Clubs, long
before the Farm Market idea was
conceived.
It was Mrs. Wilcox who made
known to US the fact that one
never mentions having sold to the

Come to think of it it would
not be the first time we had been
locked in the Jail - when it was
being built we were walking
through with a party when some
one got playful and pushed us into
a cell and slammed the door not
knowing the locks had just been
put on - later hearing approach
ing footsteps we banged and called
loudly, J. Forrest Walker, the
County Treasurer, opened the
small panel in the door and laugh
ingly asked "What do you want,
cigarettes?"
Then in the matter of spelling
names, we never seem to know
whether there is one 81" or two =
remember in the old song which
went "Leave off an L from Kill

be, but if / knock the l. out Of

In reply to numerous inquiries
we did not write the Letter to all
Drivers which appeared in the
Sentinel several weeks ago. 1t was
sent us by Willard Harvey of the
Farm Bureau Insurance, with per-
mission to use it - it was on the
front of their monthly bulletin and

heard it read over Baltimore radio

Stephenson, director of the trust

School of Banking, American Bank
ers' Association. And that goes for
women, too, Mr.. Stephenson made
it clear.
Mr.. Stephenson was talking on
the general problem of administer
ing trusts, with particular reference
to the lawyers part in the job. He
cited the vagueness of will makers
as reason why attorneys who draft
wills should be ever alert, able and
specific, fulfilling "the lawyers first
great, unacceptable function to draw
trust instruments that are at once
legally sound, practically workable
and socially fair" He was the
principal speaker at the associations
dinner meeting at Wesley Hall.
Mr.. Stephenson said that the trust
business. as carried on by $500 banks
and trust companies, constitutes one
Of the big business enterprises of
this country. There are over 1000
officers and perhaps i've times as
many employees, he said, in these
trust institutions. They are ham
ding, in Mr. Stephenson's estimate,
not fewer than 100000 trust ac-
counts and not less than $20,000.-
