as a result of this election and the

"For this reason, we are nomi-
mating, as authorized by the Con-
stitution of Maryland, four more
Montgomery County citizens and
voters as candidates for services
on each Charter Board.
eve consequently further nomi-
nate the following to serve as can

"We continue to believe that the
government of Montgomery Coun.
ty, as now planned and administer
ed, is, if not the best, certainly one
of the best county governments in
the United States. Our experience
gained in the administration of the
public affairs of Montgomery
County has increased our concern
of the risk which must be incident
to any basic fundamental and con-
sequently dangerous change in the
plan of government under which
this County has safely grown and
prospered.
eve continue to hope that all of
the voters in Montgomery County
will return majority against the
possibility of such a fundamental
and dangerous change.
"Should the majority of the vot-
ers of the County, however, favor
further consideration of a charter
or new county constitution, we feel
it incumbent upon us to nominate
experienced and capable candidates
of real experience and unquestion-
ed integrity.
although we are advised that
the Constitution of Maryland
would allow us to withhold these
nominations until Thursday of
next week, We have made them as
promptly as possible after the fill
ing of the petitions so that the
purpose of the Soldiers and Sailors
Absentee Ballot Law, passed by
the 1941 session of the Maryland
Legislature, which holds that the
general election ballot must be
closed forty-five days before the
election to allow the County voters
who are away from home serving
with the armed forces to reserve
their ballots in time to participate
in the coming election will not be
violated because of any constitu-
tional authority vested in u.s."

THIS IS another OF Ponuac's reports TO the Ameri-
can people on its Arms Production Program.
Long before Pearl Harbor, Pontiac applied IT'S
engineering and manufacturing resources to the
task of producing weapons for our armed forces
in the quantities they desired from US on seized

We think you will find this report of interest.
Because, whether our gallant fighting men meet
the enemy on land, on the waters of the earth
or in the skies above, we are straining every
effort 10 produce Pontac-built material for them
in ever-inCreasing volume.
On fbe Seas Of the day this is written,
Pontiac had shipped - rapid-fre anti-aircraft
cannon to the Navy, exceeding the contractual
requirement for the period by no less than M1
cannon. In addition, production of inner assem-
blies for heavy-duy KM engines has been
doubled within 90 days.
In The Air-An ''on schedule" rate of tooling

factors for victory in the War of Survival, several
of these assignments have been accepted by
Pontiac on a sub-contracting basis. They are
receiving the same "all-out'' attention as our
prime contracts and are also "as scheduled or
ahead of schedule"
Thus, Pontiac has many tasks but just one goal:
To do everything in power to provide
American fighting men with more ,uu,.
and better weapons for use in their -
struggle for victory on land, on the
sea and in the air. COW

Big Change in Burlesque

CONSIDERING what a burlesque show Is
- today, it is difficult to believe that at one
time burlesque was type of entertainment
to which a man could take his family. In
fact, the old Columbia burlesque circuit de-
pended on family patronage for its success.
There were no strip-teasers in burlesque in
those days. The stars of these shows were

doubt the medco knew what he was talking

inspiration of baby's smile.

Both Should Listen7

An EXPERT on married
"A happiness says that when
evening comes the husband
should listen carefully and
alphabetically while his wife
tells Of the difficulties of her
day. Then the wife should
listen TO her husbands tale Of
office troubles. Seems a rea-
sonable suggestion, yet | don't
like it. The wife should sit
down and write a piece called
my Day" in which her trou-
bles are detailed. The hus-
band should write a similar
article. These could then be
put aside for later reading.
Then the evening could pro-
coed without any depressing
exchange of tales of trouble.
One of the most difficult situ-
atoms in married life comes
when a husband staggers
home after a hard day at the
office to be greeted by his wife
with the words: I'm posi-
