Turning Over An
Old Leaf
By Phillip A. Gladheim

There were faces to remember in the
Valley of the Shadow;
There were faces umregarded, 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 YETI
There is a passage in Isaiah that I
often think of when recalling friends
who have passed from the earthly
scene: "A good man dies, and no one
lays it to heart" This applies to a
man and woman of whom | speak.
Arthur Townshend died a few
weeks ago. He was a member of a
Garrett County pioneer family. He
was a successful merchant in Oak
land for many years-and very de-
vout member of the Methodist church.
Apart from his family, religious and
business connections Arthur Town
shend was in his own right a very en-
.oyable person. He belonged to the
Brotherhood of Encouragement. There
are not many people in any genera
ton that by their sturdy faith are
made eligible to this fraternity. But
Arthur Townshend was one of them.
| hope that some who read these lines,
who knew Arthur Townshend, will re-
call their contacts with him-and how
genuinely optimistic and happy were
his reactions toward life. He was al
ways a good tonic. Just two days be-
fore he took to bed in his last illness
| saw him in his front yard. | stopped
and talked with him, which has al
ways been my habit. As usual his
words and infections were COM
mingled with his smiles. The one
thing I remember in the conversa-
ton is this statement made by him:
This earth with all it's yesterdays
has been to me very wonderful. But
tomorrow? That is far more glori-
GUS"
Another prominent and faithful
member of st. Paul's church has
passed on during this past year; in
fact, the first anniversary of her
death was observed last week, Eva
limbaugh was responsible for the
first formal religious education of a
large number of the men and women
of this present generation, who make
up the community of Oakland. | sup
pose she holds the record Of the larg-
est Primary Sunday School class ever
organized in any of the Oakland
churches. 1t was her great pride for
many years. Her classes were inter
esting, and her buoyant matelnalism
was at it's best when she superin-
tended the incubation of little Meth
odists Now they have grown up Sis
ter Eva, and your reward is their
faithfulness.
One should also mention in this
connection, another devout member
of the same church, who also was in
fluential with the youth. l refer to

Grace Loar, who is still with us, and
whose concern for the youth has
never abated Sister Eva not only
served her church as teacher-but
in these recent years when the church
broke out of her old shell and formed
itself anew around beautiful sane
tuary, Sister Eva was its faithful and
efficient treasurer Her good deeds
unto Holy Church are bearing fruit
here on carth-and she has entered
her reward in Heaven. The church
can't lose such faithful members as
Arthur Townshend and Eva Hine-
baugh, without a vivid recollection of
their personalities.

Unless it experiences quick

Of this Congress that, during the war,
it distinguished itself for disinterested

a strong case can be made right now
for the reverse. Certainly, the record
of the last six months is nothing of
which to be proud.

When all this is added up it makes
a pretty discreditable chapter in our
legislative history. The spirit which
the President and others are trying to
inculcate in the American people IS
not being exhibited in the American
Congress. Neither the breast beating
speeches about the irresistible might
of the United States, nor the enthusi-
astic demand that every individual
contribute his all to the winning Of
the war. DISCUSSES the fact that Con-
gress is not doing its job well. 1t is
exhibiting neither bigness nor intelii-
gence. It votes loudly and enthusiast
tically for the war billions and then
gives an exhibition of petty politics
and personal smallness wholly III
compatible with its patriotic profess
sions.
.E##
1t is time for Congress to examine
itself and change it's attitude. 1t is
time for the people to let Congress
know that super-heated oratory and
huge appropriations do not excuse the
small, selfish and supine business
which have marked this session. In or
out of Congress, no one will contend
that the record is a good one. The
thing that seems needed to make Il
utterly bad is the scuttling Of the
Byrd committee report and the side
tracking Of the reductions in normal
governmental expenditures urged also
by the President and the Secretary Of
the Treasury and vitality necessary to
national security. Already there is a
Senatorial group, among whom are
some Of our most oratorical and vo-
ciferous professional patriots, who
are preparing to do just that-f they
can.

Battleship
Program.

WASHINGTON, June 16-B
- Two members of the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee mid
today that Navy officials had
decided to defer all plans for
huge new battleships in order to
concentrate upon expanding
fighting power in the air.
Senator Ellender (D-La) and
Brewster (R-Me) in separate In
terviews said that top ranking
admirals h d informed them
hat no new battleships would
be started and that plans for
cruisers now underway were be-
ing converted so that these
would be completed as aircraft
carriers.
The Navy finally has decid-
ed it must have more airpower
to protect our present fleet.
Ellender said. Some of the
cruisers being converted were
pretty well along" He said re-
cent battles i'm the Pacific had
caused the change in plans.
Senator Brewster said that
the new decision would mean
abandonment for the present Of
Navy plans for constructing five
huge super battleships of 10000
tons each that were to have
been the largest things afloat."
Brewster said that naval au-
thorities had been working On
the plans for the huge bott1o-
ships - larger than any pgUva-
ously built - for more than .
year and probably had learned
that "some Of our enemies Id
abandoned plans for similar
huge battleships."
