combating anti-Semitism, and In

But what some people fail to re-
alize is that the cOmbative work
that the A. ID. L. carries on can
not be flung open to membership
discussion without hampering the
effectiveness of the work On
the receiving end of a great deal
of B'nai Birth publicity it can be
said that there is no other Jewish
organization which does such ex-
celIent public relations work -.
It was good to see some of our

most equaled the attendance OF
the Jacksonville people Why
do Jacksonville folk always have
to be so shamed at these regional
gatherings (of any kind?
Although William Boxeram did
say that our A. D. L. committee
was doing more than any other in
the state There probably
wasn't anyone there who went
away convinced that anti-Semitic
activities aren't still a serious
danger and that the danger
will rise at the end of this war -.

about the small allotment of
gasoline.
Account of conditions in Eng
land should serve to appease
these complainers. There the use
of an automobile for private use
has become thing of the past.
Rationing of food of all kinds
and of clothing also has become
extremely stringent. Very re-
Gently 1 heard a speaker who
had just returned from a trip to
England state that ne felt al
most ashamed and embarrassed
to sit at a table where several
kinds of meats and vegetables
were served when he knew so
we'll the sacrifices demanded of
our English brothers in arms.
This man then offered the opin-
a ion that we were headed for a
term of rationing Of both food
stuffs and clothing and that we
had better tighten our BELTS"
1t was his well considered
opinion that it will gradually be-
come he job of the United States
to feed and clothe England, Rus
sia and China. If this man is
correct in his estimate we should
feel richly endowed
u. S. Must to enjoy as much
Feed of the worlds
The World goods as we do
today. Our war
partners cannot keep up the
fight unless they are fed and
clothed. A little willing sacri-
fee on our part in 1912 might
conceivably spur our allies on
TO a greater effort which would
lead to an earlier success of our
armed forces.
There can be no disagreement
on that point. The sooner we win
this war the sooner we can all
get back to the big problem of
solving our rehabilitation prob
lens and helping with the recon-
struction of the whole world.
1t is strange that SO many ap-
peals for Voluntary support of
the various phases of civilian
effort go unheeded. There are
probably many reasons but it is
doubtful if there is one reason
which is valid enough to offset
the extreme need for full Coop
Grafton and unity of action.

COUNTIAN SERVING
IN NAVY ASKS FOR
NEWS FROM HOME

Life in Uncle Sans Navy is
fine, but a fellow certainly would
like to hear from the home folks
once in a while. That's the opin-
ion of at least one young Mont
gomery Countian now serving his
country, as expressed in letter
this week by THE SENTINEL.
The message came from Will
liam R. English, son of r. ].
English of Laytonsville. A por-
ton of his letter follows:
"Have been in the U. S. Navy
since the First of May and miss
things at home very much. I do
not get to hear much about home
news, especially about the Al
Club of which I was a member
for several years.
"Things get mighty lonesome
here at times, so I feel I should
subscribe to THE SENTINEL so I
will know what is happening in
Montgomery.
"I enjoy the Navy very much
and if I had it to do over it
would still be the Navy for me.
I am now going to an aviation
machinist mates school and will
graduate with a rating. enlisted

sorry.

how about some of you other

been named as co-chairmen, and
which has been authorized by the
vote of the Congress here tonight
to represent the United Demo-
cratic Organization in future de-
velopments incident to the charter
movement in Montgomery County
this year, and
Because we as individual citi-
zens of Montgomery County are
sure that the present services of
the county government as now en-
joyed by the people of the County
are efficient, modern, economical
and adequate, that County officials
are honestly elected under the
time-prOven American system of
majority rule arrived at through
the two party system and because
we are sure that the government
of Montgomery County is now
honestly and fairly administered,
We are convinced that the form of
the government of this County
should not be subjected, alone
among the $500 counties of these
United States, to experimentation
or evolution into charter or any
other untried, unproven and un-
defined form Of local government;
Sand because we as individual
delegates to the County Congress
and citizens who take an active in
terest in the public affairs of our
county, state and nation know Of
no change which should be made in
the form, plan or organization of
the government of Montgomery
County which cannot be made
through the Legislation of Mary
land under the provisions of the
constitution of the State,
"NOw, THEREFORE BE 1T
RESOLVED that we, both as the
County Congress and as individ-
uals, will urge the voters of Mont
gomery County:
"First-not to sign petitions re-
questing a special election to
change the form of the County
Government to charter to be held
on November 3rd, next, and
"Second-Should a minority of
2O8o of all of the registered voters
of the County sign such a petition
and should such an election be so
forced, to urge the thoughtful
voters and property owners of
Montgomery County to vote
against the proposed change to
charter in such election which
would then be held on the 3rd of
next November"

Hospital Supper
Set For Tuesday
WOman's Board Sponsor
ing Event AS Home De-
fense Measure; Share-C
Plan Urged For Patrons

Next Tuesday, July %, is a big
date for many county residents,
for that evening the annual sup
per for the benefit of the Mont
gomery County General Hospital
will be held at the Sherwood High
School. The supper will be served
from 5 to 8 O'Clock.
The annual hospital supper has
been held on the last Tuesday of
each July for more than twenty
years. For many of these years it
has taken the place of the old
Rockville fair as an event at which
old friends from various sections
of the county have renewed ac-
quaintances. AS such, it has be-
come a "must" for hundreds of
folks.
Because they felt that the health
of our homes and communities
form the first line Of home defense,
members of the Women's Board,
who sponsor the supper, decided
that the affair must be held again
this year. The degree of success
achieved by the supper largely de-
termines the activities of the
Women's Board. All the linen used
by the hospital is furnished by the
board, which also contributes to
the general upkeep of the institu-
tion. During the past year, in ad-
dition to the boards usual activ-
tiles, $4,000 was given toward the
installation of the new heating
plant.
Because Of the gasoline and tire
shortages, the board has urged all
planning to attend the supper to
make early arrangements for
transportation. Last year more
than 1000 persons attended, and
hundreds of cars were parked
around the school. 1t is not ex-
pected that so many cars will be
on hand this year, but the board
is asking each car owner to bring
a full load of passengers so that
attendance will not fall off.
At the usual booths there will
be offered for sale goodies of the
speciality table, articles on the
fancy table and flowers and ever
greens of the flower stand. It is
expected that the sugar shortage
will not put the cake and candy
tables out of business, since many
good cooks will provide tempting
articles made of the many sub
stitutes that have been suggested.
The concert of the Washington
Gas Light Company Band, fea-
ture attraction at the supper for
the past few years, again is listed
among the main events. Dancing
will follow the concert. Penny rides
and bingo also will be among the
amusements.

1T is an amazing spectacle to
= those who understand the SER
iousness of our position in this
worst of all wars to see so many
of our people absolutely indif-
ferent to the possible conse-
quences. It is not only amazing
1t is shocking. There are so
many evidences of this indiffer-
ence that a clear analysis is
extremely difficult. Take one of
a number of Illus
Indifferencetrations. The Red
Proving Cross Sewing pro-
Costly jects for one.
While the amount
of work done by the ladies vol
unteering adds up to tremen-
dous total it is still disappoint-
ment to those in charge that
more women who have ample
time have not offered help. Lead
ership in a community is often
the missing spark. All that is
needed is for some energetic
woman to sponsor a Red Cross
sewing project and she will find
many willing helpers. Many
women, it has been pointed out,
hesitate to take the lead al
although anxious to take part.
Another evidence, which is
more noticeable publicly, is the
Indifference of men in some COM
munities toward taking an active
part in one of the Civilian De-
tense Services or the Minute
Men. Communities vary too
much in support of these efforts
to attribute the lack of it to any
thing but absence of leadership.
In communities where an ener-
getic and well-known man has
volunteered to organize his
neighbors into a Minute Men
Company, almost without excep-
tion, the response has been more
than gratifying. There are, how
ever, some sections where the
Indifference among both men
and women cannot be attributed
to lack of leadership because
constant efforts have been de-
voted to bring the territory up
to standard. Such communities
as these need an awakening.
And take the rationing of gas
oline. The average person fails
utterly to realize that the really
stringent rationing of his auto
mobile ultimately will prove to
be his tires. On gas rationing
he can at least
Tighten drive his machine
Our an allotted distance
Belts which, if he care
fully budgets his
driving, will do a surprisingly
good job. But his tires are only
as good as the poorest one. I'm
less he has four tires the car
cannot be driven and only those
who have tried know that secur-
ing new tire or tube is becom-
ing an increasingly difficult
problem. It begins to look like
those of us who wear out our
tires will be forced to retire our
autos for the duration. And yet
people in all sections, city and
country alike, complain bitterly
