A. E..F. Marine Corps
Unit Honors lis
First Sergeant
23d Machine Gun Co.
Presents Plaque at
I'd Division Reunion
BY NELSON Nj. SHEPARD.

Survivors of the 23d Machine Gun
Company, U. S. Marine Corps,
A. E. r, gave a surprise testimonial
dinner to the best liked man in the
old outfit, First Sergt. Arthur Cliff
ford. of Bridgeport, Conn, last night
at the Willard Hotel in connection
with the reunion of the I'd Division.
Feature of the affair was a presen-
tation to the former top kick" of a
Marine Corps emblem in the form of
plaque with an appropriate in
scription from the men he had led,
at the age of % years, from Belleau
Woods to the American occupation
OF the Rhine bridgehead.
Charles Mikelberg. chairman of
the dinner, made the presentat ton
on behalf of the more than 200 men
remaining on the company roster
and expressed their appreciation of
the unfalllng work performed by
Sergt. Clifford in keeping the rem
nantS of the ranks together during
the 25 years since the first World
War. Thirty of the men and James
L. Sykes, president of the I'd Divis-
ion Association, attended the dinner
from distant sections.
Finally Caught Mapping.
For the first time in his years of
association with the old gang,
Sergt Clifford was caught mapping
The 200 or more men Who had been
notified kept the secret of their in
tention from him successfully for
many months.
Sergt. Clifford had intended re
tiring' from his duties up to last
night but agreed to continue the
business of maintaining contacts,
which he said had really been "a
labor of love and worth all the time
it occupied" With Mr.. Mikelberg
and David A. De Lima, both of New
York, he had formed committee
that issued company letters regular
ly TO all the known members.
A solemn note was struck at the
opening of the dinner when 76
candles were lighted in memory of
the company'S dead, most of them
battle deaths. The survivors stood
as Mr.. Mikelberg read the names
and with each name the remaining
committee members snuffed out a
candle.
By coincidence, the latest death
among the survivors had been er-
roneously reported only yesterday,
that of 1t. AXel Enholm. To the
amazement and happiness of every
one, he showed up last night very
much alive. The death reported in
New Jersey newspapers was that of
a man of similar name in the same
community.

He'd keep on smoking until he

would hand it to somebody and say
Hold this minute and tackle the

You never could tell by watching
him that he was playing with death.
He talked as he worked, debating
fairly fast.
He always told us that if any,

others to have the benefit of his

it is said, are Pacific politics, and
he has made it his business during
the years to give himself a firm

Germ relations between the United
States and Japan.
Both his calling-the navy-and
his -amiability-put him
among the moderates Of Japan. His
past moves some persons here tc

are viewed as firebrands. But
Japan is trying to cope with chang

Admiral Toyoda comes to the
fore out of the fifth cabinet crisi;
which Japan has had since the wal

Rockville Man
Writes OF Camp
Life Training

Greetings Citizens of Rockville:
am writing this letter for the
benefit of "Mothers" who have
sons in training camps in the
United States.
Most Mothers" are naturally
quite worried when their son or
sons, as the case may be, go off
to camp; but let me tell you this,
have been to two camps already
in two weeks of army life and
have never seen anything as clean
and nice as the barracks and mess
halls. The food is good and cooked
well which means lot to US boys.
We have recreational centers, NOV
ing pictures, theatres, sports and a
post exchange where soldier can
buy what he wants at a very low
price.
Now as far as health is con-
cerned We are taught how to clean
our teeth and bodies and to keep
them clean. We even have to clean
our finger nails before each meal
= (Pll bet lot of you people
don't even do that.l
We have inspection every day in
our barracks-we get clean sheets
twice a week, and we have foot
lockers in which to keep our clean
underwear, soap and shaving
equipment. We are instructed to
keep our barracks so clean that if
we had to, we could dump our food
on the floor and eat it.
So in closing l will say this,
Mothers, don't worry about your
son, just write him and see him
when and if you can; he will un-
doubtedly come out of this army
"a better and more healthier man
than when he went in.
Sorry, but l have got to go to
supper now and l will write telling
you more again some time.
Love to all

MONTGOMERY
Nl SIDELlCHTS
BY Elsie White Haines

Born in house by the side of
the mill at Robbery, Howard
County, the writer grew up to the
sound of the gentle swish" of
water as it ran over the old over
shot wheel at Muncaster's Mill in
Montgomery-so the history of old
mills we find most fascinating.
We thought you might like this
story of mills along Seneca
Creek" as found in a letter writ
ten Jan. "a, 1920 to Mr.. A. G.
Thomas of Tanglewood.
Beginning at the mouth of
Seneca Greek - where it empties
into the Potomac, almost under the
viaduct of the C. & o. Canal -
we follow it one mile back up
stream to Seneca Mills, built and
operated for many years by Upton
Darby and his family. About 1900
1t was sold to Wilson Tschiffely
and operated by him and later by
his son until the death of the lat
ter in 1917. Then a grandson of
Wilson Tschiffely = Worthington
Tschiffely lad of 10 or 20 ran it
alone, and successfully in small
way.
The next will site "Black Rock"
built in 1906 was operated by short
term rentors until it closed down
in 1905. 1t was located one and
one half miles above the bridge on
highway from Jamestown to
Jacksonville near the junction of
Big" and Little" Senecas. This
is described as a large stone struc-
ture, the ruins of which are in a
deeply wooded gorge directly
across the creek from a perpendi-
cular cliff = most secluded and
picturesque.
Next is the Woodlands Mill,
near the crossing of the road from
Gaithersburg to Old Germantown
and Boyd, built by the late Francis
Chopper in 1884 (near the site of
an earlier mill) it was operated as
a grist and flour mill = we are
told that before the Civil War a
wooden mill was attached. For
many years Barton Trail ran this
mill profitably, but modern mills
at Germantown and Gaithersburg
put it out of operation.
Where the Old Frederick road
crosses Seneca is the depression of
an old race, and below the road is
the fading site of Taylor's Mill.
Farther up the creek was Wat
kin's Mill where the late Levi
Watkins built up an excellent bust
ness in the 70s and sos = now al
most every trace of that too, has
vanished.
The Waters mill - probably
built by Harry Dorsey, owned and
operated by his family for years
then owned by DR.. Washington
Waters, was later owned and run
by John Davis who purchased it
from the Waters estate. A news
paper of that day speaks of Mr..
Davis as running the mill happily
= not on a mammoth scale, but
successfully and satisfactorily to
himself and a large number of
friends and patrons" Of course
the old miller is long since dead
and the mill abandoned.
Two miles higher up the creek
was at one time a Worthington or

Magruder mill = even at the turn
of the century traces of it coulc

Just above the Goshen Church
Woodfield road was Darby's small
powered mill used up to 1900 we
are told = just for the grinding
of corn. Wonder if that is moi
where one of our neighbors got the
mill stones he has in his yard =
purchased from Mr.. Burns?
On Wildcat, a tributary of Sc
neca,. we are told there was during
Revolutionary times, an old mil
where our forefathers made gur
powder"
We have compared the described
mill sites with an Atlas of 1875
and found most Of them = but the
roads and bridges seem to have
been changed somewhat since those
days.

 He has noted a strange drift in the new" California. Previously, people moved to California to re- tire. Now, with the defense indus tries booming, they go not to retire but to work and in many cases to begin anew. Even the architecture of the state has been influenced by these shifting tides in population. They are. building neat little col onial and New England bungalows. In the population centers there are housing projects. It looks like a new chapter in the story of California.
 There apparently continues the demand for as much factual mater
