HOlstein Breeders
Banquet March A

Allan Chrissey Northeastern
States field representative of the
American Holstein Friesian Cat
tie Association, will be principal
speaker at the annual dinner meet
ing of the Montgomery County
branch, March at Hungerford
Tavern, Rockville.
Formerly one of the most active
of county clubs, the local associa-
ton conducted two cattle sales per
year and was largely instrumental
in sponsoring the breeding of pure
bred Holsteins in Montgomery
county.
Officials of the county club re-
minisced that cows often sold for
$500 a piece, at these sales and a
premium was always paid for them.
The group this year will be host
to All Calf Club members and H.
C. Barker, extension dairy special
lists; while Ralph Walker, Gathers
burg, Holstein breeder, will be
master of ceremonies.

The Guard And The Sun
IAN EditoriaD

What does The Baltimore Sun hold against the
Maryland State Guard? Is it possible that silk
stocknged sociate close to Sun officials who smelt
possible glory (and little sacrfce) had his toes stepped
on?
Has The Sun adopted policy of using its tremen-
dOus publicity power to tear down all that the State
Administration attempts to do?
On what actual basis does The Sun "bear down.
on the State Guard?
Answers to the questions rest with The Sun.
Facts follows: The Sun finds fault with
the organization of Maryands newly formed military
department. it finds fault with the time it took to
"rotter' lied about being shot at it finds fault
with the Guard because the State Military Police
selected from Guard enlistments rather than from
civilians; The Sun apparently feels that members of
the Guard should be required to do sentry duty at $25
a day while any civilian serving in like capacity is
receiving $500 and $500 per day.
It is known that any effort to organize unit as
large contemplated for the Maryland State
Guard can't help but be beset with normal growing
palms, Is it not an insult to the several thousand
men in Maryland who have formed the States only
military unit for the States largest newspaper to
belttle their patriotic effort?
Does THE SUN recognize the need for a military
unit in the State while the National Guard is in
Federal Service?
1t is evident that THE SUMS attack is directed
not misrepresentation of funds at least gross exrava
gance.
We submit, however, that the attempt to smear
members of the volunteer group of State Guardsmen
is not only unworthy of THE BALTIMORE SUN, but
is an obstructive attack on the States effort to
coordinate military protection with the Federal Gov
eminent.

the proposed Charter form of gov
eminent as recommended by the

able. 1--WE are a sound and prac-
teal people" Judge Simpson said
and need no change of government.
Mr.. Noyes deplored a proposed

ize that we have an honest two

Whereas this system is not out
NODDED as some would have us be-
licve and,
Whereas there is a determined
effort on the part of some county
groups to bring about drastic
changes in our government sys-
tenn, namely in the form of a
Charter government and,
Whereas we deplore such efforts
which tend to create confusion at
time when National, State and
County unity of thought and action
should be uppermost in the minds
of all,
Therefore be it resolved that the
Women's Democratic Club of Rock
vile and Upper Montgomery Coun-
ty oppose all efforts to bring about
such change.

QerS.
This engagement is of consider
able interest, since the marriage will
unite two prominent valley families,
members of both having been resi-
dents of this county for many
years.
News of the betrothal was first
made known at a family dinner
party a few days ago when Miss
10 Mearl Deyo, fiancee of Lau-
renee Cook, was in the valley visit
ing the Cook family.
Miss Cook is a graduate of Gen.
tral High school and junior COL
lege, and is now connected with
the AAA office in Ell Centre. She
is a popular member of the young
er set, and has during her school
career played a leading role in va
rious student activities.
Mr.. Anderson was educated in
the Calexico schools, being grad
uated from the high school in that
city. He attended Control Junior
college one year and then entered
the service. During his high school
years he was active in many af-
fairs, played football and was a
member of the 1885 championship
team. He is a rancher by profess
sion.
