CANDIDATE FOR CHIEF
JUDGESHIP

Considerable interest is being
shown in the announcement made
during the last week by G. Ebert
Marshall of the Talbot County Bar
that he is a candidate for the Chief
Judgeship of the Second Judicial
Circuit of Maryland, which COM
prises the Counties of Caroline,
Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne and Tai
bot.
Mr.. Marshall's active law practice
over a period of twenty-seven years,
his diversified business experience,
his participation in the many and
varied community activities which
have engaged his interest, and the
recognized position of leadership
and ability which he has accorded,
leave no room to question his pre-
eminent qualifications for the re-
sponsibilities of this. high judicial
Office.
Mr.. Marshall was born in the
village of Tunis Mills, in Miles
River Neck of Talbot County, Md.
on December 28th, 1888, and is now
fifty-three years of age.
Although Mr. Marshall has never
been a candidate for public Office
he has been identified with the ac-
tivities of the Democratic Party. He
was the Democratic Campaign
Chairman in Talbot County in the
general election of 1888 when the
Governor instead of losing in Talbot
County as his State Campaign Head
quarters is said to have predicted in
regard to that County, Talbot Co.,
gave a majority of several hundred
votes for the Governor and major
| ity for each of the other State and
all the local Democratic candidates.
In 1899, Gov. O'Conor appointed
Mr.. Marshall to be a member of
Talbot County Board of Education
and since 1941 he has been serving
as President of the Board.
Mr.. Marshall is member of his
County Bar Association, the State
Bar Association and the American
Bar Association. He has served as
member of several committees of
| the State Bar Association and was
a Vice-President of the Associa-
ton in 1889. In 1941 he was made
Chairman of the Committee on Laws
of the Maryland State Bar Asso.
In 1910 the Court of Appeals of
Maryland appointed Mr.. Marshall as
member of the Statewide Com
mittee on Rules of Court relating
to Civil Procedure, and he was SUBJ
sequently named from the Second Ju
icial Circuit to be member of the
Executive Committee of that State
wide group.
After the death of Judge Shehan.
Mr. Marshall received not only the
endorsement of the active members
of the Talbot County Bar but of
many members of the Bar in other
Counties of the Circuit and of many
members throughout the State who
recommended his appointment to
the Chief Judgeship of the Circuit.
More recently, Statewide Commit
tee of the Maryland State Bar Asso-
citation included Mr.. Marshall's
name with the names of two other
lawyers who were all endorsed as
qualified to fill judicial vacancy.
With such a varied program, it
is understandable that he has de-
velope a judgment that is seasoned
| and mature.

FOUR LITTLE GIRLS

One, two, three, four-how would
you like to be father and suddenly
have the responsibility of being
father and mother to four little
girls? 1t was War Time and so many
women were working to defend their
country that no one could be found
to mother four little girls when
their mother died. There was no
Aunt Sue to come take over, and no
cookie baking grandmother with a
big lap and big heart.
When the father came to the
Children's Aid, he explained he
could make enough mo y
if he could just get back to
work. Various aunts and uncles
could tuck one child in with their
already large families, but no one
could take all four. and the father
wanted his children kept together
until they are little older, and he
could plan to have them with him at
home. He pays their board, buys
their clothes, and visits them once
or twice week in the home OF the
unusual foster parents found by the
Children's Aid who took four little
children into their home at once.
The children love "Auntie" and
Uncle, and the farm, and on Sum
day the church people look forward
to seeing the four little girls in
their usual pews at .church-all so
happy they can't be anything but
we'll behaved.

Growers who did not apply an
early spray for control of grape
diseases should do so at once to pre-
vent damage from black rot and
downy mildew, according to DR.. e.
A. Walker, specialist in plant pathol-
ogy for the Extension Service. DR..
Walker advises using Bordeaux mix
ture, which is made with pounds
of copper sulfate, pounds Of lime
in SO gallons of water. The spray
is applied when the grape is about
the size of pea.
Black rot attacks the grape when
it is still green and produces brown
ish spots ON the berries. Affected
fruits turn black. become hard,
and shrivel but remain attached to
the bunch. Grapes affected with
downey mildew become brownish
in color, often, wither and drop of
easily.

There is talk in Washington to
the effect that this sort of rationing
might be extended to the whole
United States. But the dissatisfac-
ton of the public is so great in the
East that it is very doubtful whether
the whole country will be restricted.
Reasons given for rationing is
the shortage of rubber--and also the
shortage of transportation The
ways seem to be open to supplement
any shortage of transportation that
actually exists. The shortage of rub
Der is another question.
Who Shall Decide?
Right now Washington is being
told by all kinds of experts that here
are many ways to make synthetic
rubber and to do it without delay.
This suggestion leads to all kinds
of disagreements that have reached
the stage mentioned by Alexander
Poe considerably over 200 years
ago. when he asked the question:
who shall decide when doctors
disagreed"
The political doctors of the war
administrators do not agree with
the heads of IA of the biggest oil
companies, Of the greatest chem
icai corporations, and of the big
gest rubber manufacturers Of the
United States. They agreed with
Secretary of Commerce Jones in
April to produce all the synthetic
rubber needed for civilian and mill
tary needs. But none Of these con-
Germs have been given the "go''
sign by the Government. 3

HOSPITAL AT PALMER HAS
 BEEN LEASED
Seventh day Advenfists Mission Takes Institu-
 lion Over, Says Wood

Pastor H. L. Wood, Superintend- ent of the Alaska Missions of Sev- enth-Day Adventists, arrived last evening from Anchorage by plane where he has been the past two months. While in Anchorage he completed negotiations with the manager of the Matanuska Valley Farmers Go. Operating Association, L. c. Stock, for the lease by the Mission of the Matanuska Valley Hospital at Palmer.
 The Coop Association was un- able to secure nurses with which to staff the institution and for this reason it was planned they would close the hospital September 1. The board of directors invited the Sev- enth-Day Adventist Mission to operate the hospital and after many weeks of negotiations the deal was consummated and the Mission took over the operation of the Hospital on September IS.
 Pastor Wood has employed Dr. Dave Hoehn of Fairbanks to take personal charge of the hospital as medical director. Dr. Hoehn has been practicing in the interior city for the past four years and is well known.
 That the Mission may staff the institution with corp of regis tered nurses, they are calling nurs- es from several of the Denomina- tional Nurses Training Schools in the States. Two nurses are coming from Washington, D. O., and sev- eral from Hinsdale, Illinois. They are now enroute to Alaska.
 The hospital will be renovated and redecorated and six fine dor mitory rooms modelled from the unfinished upper floor of the hos pital building for the use of the new nurses.

NEW WINE" NEW MUSICAL SHOWING
 ON CAPITOL BILL
IIona Massey, Star of "Ba- IaIaika' Is Singing
 Lead in Film

With Ilona Massey Alan Curtis, Binnie Barnes, Albert Basserman and Billy Gilbert portraying the principal roles, Gloria Pictures New Wine" the film romance based on an episode in the life of Franz Schu- bert and featuring his delightful music, is slated for it's premiere at the Capitol Theatre tonight.
 This new picture, whose action is centered in the Vienna of long ago, was directed by Reinhold Schunzel and is based on a story by Howard Estabrook and Nicholas Jory. In the cast supporting the principal players of New Wine are Sterling Holloway, Richard Carle, John Qualen and Gilbert Emory.
 The story of New Wine" spot lights the youthful days of Franz Schubert, when his wonderful music had not yet attracted the plaudits of the world. It pictures the days when the young composer was forced to flee to Austria and there meets Anna, a beautiful girl who is in charge of ranch belonging to giddy countess. Anna falls in love with Franz and realizes that his work has the stamp of immor- tality. How they return to Vienna and seek out the great Beethoven for help and how their stirring romance comes to a strange finish provides New Wine" with all the ingredients of a thrilling motion picture.

seconds after big story broke that flashed the word to the rest of the country.
 Broad" saw the mechanics of news dissemination change incred- ibly since he joined the staff in 1899, kid of sixteen. He remem- bered when reporters on a hot story rode horseback, as they did when Broad-a telegrapher then helped cover the first successful flight of military airplane.
 Photographers sent AP stories manually in Morse code in those days. There were unavoidable de- lays in transmission that would be unforgivable now. Broad saw Wirephoto make the rapid exchange of vital newspictures a matter of minutes, where before days were required.
 In his later years, Broad was chief of the AP dictation staff of men in the office who take down the story from the reporter on the scene, facilitating quick editing and quicker transmission.
 Broadfoot always set up the physical details of coverage at the national party conventions that choose presidential candidates. In the midst of those madhouses, Breads system functioned smooth as grease to get the constantly changing picture out to the world.
 He had a box seat at thousands of "big" stories and dozens of news events of really d-shaking inn portance. Without Broadfoot, and dozens of others like him anony- nous as raindrops, quietly func- tioning in a world wide intermesh- ing of newsgathering cogs, you wouldn't have had the facts on which you base your judgments in your daily paper
 You never heard of Martin Broadfoot, the jolly little bachelor who lived in suburban Alexandria But Broad" spent his life in your service.
