to be one of the popular war songs of
the early '40's.
In writing about the song, the
Bentztown Bard, in his column in the
Baltimore "Sun" recently said:
"The Elks of the country are going
to have Maryland poetry and Mary
land music for their national defense
program entertainments and ceremon
les, for they have adopted for that
purpose a song, "Uncle Sammy's
Boys, the words of which were writ
ten by Mrs. Katie Melvin Quinn, of
Crisfield and the music by Donald
Christ. The recent session of the
Maryland Legislature passed a reso-
luton of approval and appreciation
of this song and it is being widely
used on patriotic programs in various
parts of the country. The words of
the song have been dedicated by Mrs.
Quinn to Lieut.. David l.. Quinn, her
son, a chaplain in the United States
Navy, and to her nephew, Capt. Will
liam w. Quinn, of the United States
Field Artillery. A number of bands
and orchestras have adopted it as
their theme song, and at training
camps, flying fields and navy bases
the boys have taken it to their hearts,
some of the bands having had slides
made of it so that the words can be
thrown on a screen for the boys to
follow while singing. Mrs. Quinn
described the song as "doing her bit"
and she surely has right to feel
gratitude"

WOMEN DRIVERS
WILL INCREASE
in A FEW YEARS

The next few years will see a great
er increase in the numbers of women
drivers than has ever been recorded
in the history of the automobile bust
ness, according to D. E. Ralston, Odds
mobiles general sales manager. Raj
ston based his predictions on results
obtained from survey undertaken
by an eastern state and from contri-
buttons made by automobile manufac-
turers directed toward simplified
driving.
Records show approximately four
times as many male drivers as wo-
men," Ralston said. However," he
added, Surveys reveal that 60 per
cent of high school and adult educa-
ton classes seeking driver training
are women, indicating an early change
in that ratio.
"For various reasons women, to-
day, are demonstrating greater inter-
est in automobile driving than ever
before. Business and pleasure reas-
ons have contributed to this trend.
In keeping with this tendency, today's
car is definitely designed for femi-
nine appeal and use. During recent
years many features have been in
stituted to encourage women drivers,
including such conveniences as dual
center control steering, adjustable
seats, easier brake operation, and
scores of additional advantages.
"While the list of features is long
and varied, no other development
since the advent of the self-starter
has met with more favorable accep-
lance from both women and men than
Oldsmobile's sensational Hydra-Mat-
ic Drive.
"There is no clutch pedal to press
and no manual gear shifting to be
done. Gear shifting is entirely auto
matte with this Oldsmobile develop
ment. There is nothing new to learn
and the beginner readily becomes as
competent as the seasoned driver.
"Women are particularly compli-
mentary to Oldsmobile's Hydra-Matic
Drive because driving is simplified
to merely starting, steering and stop
ping. Car stalling is eliminated with
Hydra Matte, Drive, which is another
very important feature for easy op-
Grafton. Because of the convenience
that Oldsmobile's Hydra-Matic Drive
alone provides, 1 am convinced that
the nations number of women drivers
will be substantially increased Turing
the next few years."

BENTZTOWN BARD WRITES
ABOUT PATRIOTIC SONG

Recognition on national scale
seems coming to Mrs. Katie M. Quinn,
of Crisfield, for her remarkable song
"Uncle Sammy's Boys, with music
by Don Christ.
This patriotic song has hit a re-
sponsive chord in the hearts of mu-
sicians and the public, wherever it
has been played and sung.
It has been called particularly ap-
propriate for the times, and promises
