Farmers Discuss
Possible Pool For
Transportation


E. B. Lipford of Southern States
Gaithersburg Service reviewed the
organizations activities during the
past year when the board of direc-
tors held a conference recently
with Allie Messer, of Laytonsville
president of the board, presiding.
He pointed out that cooperation
is helping farmers to do a better
job of meeting their production
goals and that interest in the CO.
operation program is growing.
In the round table discussion
concern over the transportation sit
uation was expressed, and serious
consideration was given to the pos
sibility of farmers organizing
neighborhood transportation pools
to carry produce to market and
farm supplies from town to the
farm.

Selective Service
Handling Praised
By Gen. Hershey
Tells Governor O'COnor
"YOu Should Take Well
Deserved Pride In Part
Played By State"

High commentator for the
manner in which the Selective
Service Administration h al
been handled in Maryland was
voiced by Lewis B. Hershey, Ma
tional Director of Selective Serv-
ice, in letter to Governor Her
bert r. O'Conor received this
week.
"As Governor of the State of
Maryland" General Hershey
wrote, "you should take a well
deserved pride in the part played
by your State under your leader
ship in the success of the Selec-
tive Service System. The size
and the quality of our Army at
the beginning of this war were
the results in no small measure
of this system for personnel pro-
curement planning.
"War doubled and redoubled
the work and the responsibilities
OF Selective Service. The man.
ner in which your State has met
these demands gives me confidence
that come what may the Selective
Service System will demonstrate
that democracy is not dead and
that free men can still meet the
most trying tasks and solve them
with fairness and with dispatch"

at the controls. The lunch was served in paper plates One of the officers, finding it difficult to cut the steak. placed the meat between two slices of bread and munched on the sandwich as he peered down through a pair of binoculars.
 Lieutenant Antrim shed his heavy, fur-lined jacket arosnd mid afternoon, with a summons to hand bomb practice. A member of the crew went to the back of the cabin and returned with a small case con- taining the hand bombs. They are about the size of grenades and have fins. A window was opened in the cockpit and another in the rear of the cabin.
 | Antrim pointed to frothy silver patch on the water. The ship banked and as it crossed over the spot, about 1000 feet up, the skip per dropped two bombs from the cockpit. Below we could see two columns of smoke close to the patch. Then, 1t came the turn of the ma- chinist's mate, who was at the rear window. Another patch on the sea was chosen and he dropped his bombs. One scored a direct hit; another landed close by.
 In actual action against a sub- marine, big depth charges secured in the bomb bay underneath the cabin would have been dropped.
 Bombing practice over, the ship headed na new course toward shore. About five miles off the coast, we spotted two navy patrol sea- Iplanes flying high above us. They dipped their wing in recognition and soon disappeared from view.
 Then we headed down the coast passing over small patrol craft and other vessels.
 Twelve hours after our take-off our base came into view. Lights blinked and we started down. As the ship swung down ground crews seized ropes hanging from the nose and tail.
 A barely imperceptible jar, and the ship was moored. As the ship was berthed in the hangar, the crew climbed out.
 Any luck?' they were asked.
 "No," came the reply. But there's always 8 next time"

|NO CLEMENCY
 | FOR JOHNSON
Former G. 0. P. Legislator to Serve Two to Five
 Year Prison Term

Charles L. Johnson, 57. former Republican representative from SLerm. and former first select man of that town, will be taken from the Fairfield county jail within few days to the state prison at Wethersfield, where he will serve a two to five year sentence imposed yesterday by Judge Carl Foster.
 Judge Foster imposed the ser- tence despite a plea by Attorney Michael V. Blansfield of Waterbury that the former G. O. P. leader be placed on probation. The local lawyer, a member of the state sen- ate, entered the case after the with drawal of Attorney Eli Milner Of Danbury as Johnson's counsel.
 Johnson pleaded guilty to four counts of obtaining money by false pretense. The town lost total of $3,917 in four false orders on the town treasury between September, 1940, and May, l941.
 Attorney Blansfield said that his client will soon receive $32,0O0 from an estate now in probate and will make restitution of the missing funds. He said his client first took town funds to aid friend who needed $2,000.
 States Attorney Lorin Willis op- posed clemency, declaring that Johnson was a public official who had violated his trust.

owy figures of the ground crew run ming alongside.
 Another blinker light flashed, someone said Here we go" and the buoyant ship suddenly nosed up- ward. At the same time, 8 khaki clad aviation machinist's mate pulled the throttles and the idling engines roared to life. The ascent was at sharp angle. But in a few minutes, we leveled off, heading to- ward the sea.
 Blimp Followed Plane We could see the blimp's shadow, cast by the moonlight, following us over the countryside. It had the sinister appearance of a submarine sinking along just beneath the sur | face.
 The cold glow of daybreak show>d in the eastern skies as the ship floated along, sWaying slowly from side to side in the upper air sWellS. Breakfast smells filled the cabin. One of the enlisted men was fry ing bacon and eggs and brewing coffee on a small electric grill. An other crew man went to the rear of the cabin to set up 8 ma chine gun.
 Dawn had broken as the ship purred over the coast and out to sea. The ocean appeared like a vast corrugated washboard.
 The radioman reached out and touched the skipper and after a brief conversation the ship was headed up the coast.
 Ten minutes later, the forward lookout, an enlisted man who sat in the nose of the cockpit. called attention to rusty tanker blow ing along our course. Challenge lights blinked from our ship. The tanker's signal lights flashed back brief identifying message and our blimp sailed on. It had anoth- CT mission to perform.
 Within minutes another surface ship could be seen ahead; then another, and still another. It soon became apparent that we had over hauled a convoy, heading toward a nearby port. Destroyers knifed along both sides of the marine process sion. Ahead there were more de- stroyers. More blinker signals were exchanged.
 The blimp then began circling around the convoy, every man alert for submarines. We circled that convoy right up to the harbor en- trance.
 The escorting Warships pulled up outside and the convoy steamed in through break in the harbor boom which looked like huge red, white and blac, chain stretching across the mouth. We could see small har- bor patrol craft racing about with in the enclosure, Skirting fixed mine fields which were visible from the air.
 This job done, the blimp veered out to sea, and out of sight of land.
 A member of the crew looked down.
 "Whitecaps,' he observed. "It's going to be harder to spot them to- day."
 Another chimed in:
 Nav, 1t won't make no differ ence. Remember that day we got-"
 He cut himself short, remember ing there was stranger aboard.
 A wisp of smoke appeared to the right. The bhmp banked and headed for it. It turned out to be a dirty white-painted freighter with it's sides bearing the flag of a na- ton now under German domination. Satisfied that it was operating in the services-of the Allies, the blimp resumed its set course.
 Soon 1t was time for lunch. The cook reached into metal pantry The machinist's mate inquired about the bill of fare. The cook displayed a can of vegetable soup. Then he held up another can-sweet pota- toes. And finally, he brought out a stack of steaks.
