RASPBERRY CROP
NEARLY MATURED
About Three FOurths OF
Average Crop in Coun-
ty Anticipated

1t is expected. from present indi-
cations, that the raspberry crop in
this section will begin to move
some time next week. Advice
comes from the Rohrersville-Kee-
dysville-Gapland section. that the
outlet of which is the B. & o. r.
R., the growers there count on
about three-fourths of an average
crop. And what is true there is
also the status in the county, gen
orally.
Other important raspberry pro-
ducing sections are around Cave
town, EdgemOnt. Mapleville. and
Smithsburg and Boonsboro.
1t is predicted that the raspberry
crop this year has been more OF
less damaged by the drought and
also rain and high winds. the winds
breaking quite a number of the
branches off the canes. Some ber-
ries have already been picked
down the Washington County
Branch.
The berries in the county will be
of fine quality thisetyear, it is re-
ported. One thing which is arous-
ing apprehension on the part Of
growers is that the berries while
maturing were held up by dry wea-
ther and then heavy rains coming
will likely cause them to come
very much at one time, with a rush
and with conditions today it may
make it rather difficult to get sui
ticient pickers to move the crop,
which has to be done with dispatch.
Two years ago approximately
$4,000 bushels of raspberries were
shipped from this community.
Many berries form this territory.
other than those grown along the
Washington County Branch each
year find their way to Keedysville
and Rohrersville for shipment to
Pittsburgh. Last year the crop
was about the size of the year be-
fore. 1t was understood that last
year a number of growers had
signed up to sell the raspberries at
10 cents a quart.

MARYLAND MERRy-GO-ROUND
- By DREW PEARSON

Washington, D. c., June 13. =
The transfer of the historic Chesa-
peake ferry from private hands to
operation by the free state Of
Maryland will be celebrated by a
gala floating picnic. Everyone in
this part of the country will know
about it
But what they may not realize
are two things whic hhave general
ly escaped public notice.
One of these was the fact that
seldom in the annals of the long
struggle between private VS.. pub
lie ownership was there less final
opposition to the State purchase Of
the Matapeake Claiborne Ferry
Company. Not many states in the
United States operate their own
shipping companies. The State of
Michigan is rare exception, oper-
ating a ferry across the Mackinac
Straits between the lower and up
per peninsulas of Michigan. Fur
thermore, the question of public
ownership has been one of the most
hotly debated subjects in the fed
eral government during recent
years, and most LMarylanders have
been against the New Deal on this
nOjnt
Therefore, it is worth noting in
passing, that apparently such pub
lie ownership questions as the more
controversial Tennessee Valley,
Bonneville Dam and other such
projects of Corcoran, Cohen and
Ickes, now are taken as a matter
of course in Maryland.
But perhaps even more signifi-
cant. although little noticed, is the
fact that the financing of the new

risk. But how many of us are aware that
this tale was paralleled last January in the
seven-day battle to save the sinking Ohio?
Captain Dwight Smith of that freighter re-
ported, Each time | asked for volunteers
for dangerous job, every man in the crew
stepped forward"
In a recent article in these columns, men,
toned the heroism of our police and firemen,
our industrial workers and the winners of
Carnegie Awards. But that is far from COW
ering the ground. 1t does not include the
more general and less-known gallantry that
has nothing to do with violence and sudden
death - those long, silent, unsuspected hero
isms that are going on in the fiat across the
hall or the house around the corner. 1t does
not include my friend John Jones, who ven
tured into business that failed. Johns part
ner went into bankruptcy; John got job
and, for twenty-five years, devoted one-thlrd
of each weeks meager salary to paying the
firms creditors. Think of the courage of a
man who preferred slavery to seeing people
lose money just because they trusted me-"
"A LECTURER | know found himself in a be-
nighted community In the heyday of the
Ku klux Klan, and decided that he wanted
to talk on intolerance. The local manager

You'll be shot if you say those things here"
''I1l be ashamed of myself if | don't" an
swered the lecturer He said EN-, and that
was the beginning of the end of the klan
in that state. So far as heroisn is concerned,
there is less of it, perhaps in a fve-minute
battle with bandit than in sticking to your
moral guns when all men doubt you"
Life itself is a battle that continues only
because of everyday herosm. If it hadn't
been for that spectacular robbery on Fifth
Avenue, it is unlikely that anyone ever would
have heard of Leonard Weisberg. But it seems
to me that Leonard's heroism began some
time before he wanted to help Eddie. Re
member, Leonard had been linen salesman
and lost his job. He had wife and home to
take care of, so he went out and got another,
driving a taxi. But he wasn't licked; wasn't
going to spend his life bringing home only
Sl8 every week. So he saved part of each
pay envelope to start again with shop of his
own. To me, that's courage, too. 1t doesn't
sound very romantic until you see it with
discerning eye, and fit it to kiplings lines
about watching ''the things you gave your
life to- broken, and stoop and build EN- up
with worn-out tools" The commonplace,
unsung heroisms loom larger when set to
that kind of music
A youth of my acquaintance who had both
legs crushed in an accident took position
recently that requires good bit of walking.

Webster defines bravery as the ability to
encounter danger, pain or misfortune with
courage, and without disposition to yield.
If that's true, how many million heroes there
must be in the United States!
