The greatest woman politician that
Maryland ever had was Mistress
Margaret Brent, counsellor and friend
of Maryland's first Governor, Leonard
Calvert, who was named eXecutriX of
his estate by his dying order, "Take
all and pay all" The succeeding Gov
ernor, Thomas Green, was so in
competent that she often had to quell
disturbances in the province and
settle other matters of state. Leonard
Calvert's holdings were swallowed up
in debts so she secured food from
Virginia and slaughtered her own
stock to feed the settlers and soldiers.
The Court named her Attorney for
Lord Baltimore. Scores of times the

Turning Over An
Old Leaf
By Phillip A. Gladheim

Ndll6N Ol Jne OnduOW,
There were faces unregarded, there
were faces to forget;
There were fires of grief and fear
that are a few forgotten ashes;
There were sparks of recognition that
are not forgotten yet"
Maryland Chautauqua last Sunday
at Mt. Lake Park revived memories
of Band Concerts held on the lawn of
the Presbyterian Church in Oakland
thirty-five years ago. Some of the
men who played in that band still re-
side in Oakland, but their instruments
have not been shined up for some
time. 1t would seem like old times if
Dennis Rasche, Wilbur Davis, Ernest
Liller, Max yelling, Tom and Andy
Gender, jim Bell, Ed Wallace, Percy
Frantz and others of the Mountain
City Band would once again be heard
Bill McIlwee, then of Keyser, w. Va,
was the director of this band. He
would come once a week and hold re-
hearsals in hall above what is now
Owen Treacy's store. | once had the
bright idea | would like to belong
Percy Frantz let me borrow his alto
horn. After one trial Bill McIlwee
said: "Boyi you are wasting my time
and lot of your energy" | took his
advice But thoroughly enjoyed that
Band. Oakland was proud of that
band, and supported its work. The
concerts were well attended. How
many recall the number of times this
band played poet and Peasant" by
Won Suppe? But where can you get
an audience today that will listen with
the same enthusiasm as did our
citizens then?
In recent years new kind of ban!
has developed here known as thu
Boys Band. We have one here in Oak
land under Russell Brown, and an
other in Mt. Lake Park and Loeb
Lynn under Harry Mickey. Both are
excellent. They gave a good account
of themselves last Sunday. Even
though most of the personnel is COM
prised of boys they play like veterans.
Oakland should be proud of its band.
1t is perhaps the most important adj
iunct to the fostering of robust
community spirit The only real ap-
probation is the solid backing of the
community behind Russell Brown and
the Oakland Band. This goes also for
Harry Mickey and his outfit.
There was another Band present at
the Chautauqua that deserves trib-
ute. The Accident Band, under Howard
Skidmore, is another first-rate organ
ization. Although most of its person
mel is from the younger generation
there are two very interesting and i'm
portant exceptions. 1t really is some
thing to see and hear Pete and Bill
Kahl. These boys have been footing
The HORN since the time Grandfather's
Clock began to tick, and they really
know how to 'toot'. Pete and Bill
never forget that they were too old
and tired to drop out of the band
world; they have just kept steadily
on the march. Hats off to Pete and
Bill Kahl, the veteran band players Of
Garrett County. l would say on a
guess that they have been active for
over fifty years. They form a sub
stantial link between the past and the
present, and they bring into the pres
ent the best traditions of band play
ing at the turn of the century.

1886 and 1910, and it is not easy to
make a convincing defense to the
charge of Roosevelt possibility.
Now the situation compels him to act.
Unless, through pressure, the strikers
give way, which is obviously the
Presidents hope, further inaction will
provoke real public and Congress
sional outburst. At his Friday press
conference he said he had nothing to
say about the strikes today" but he
did emphasize to-day" That was
taken as meaning that he would act
by Monday if an agreement to resume
work was not reached. Of course,
every days delay helps Hitler. That
is something Mr.. Roosevelt might
consider while he is trying to work
things out.
