Urges Training
For War Jobs

To meet the demands of the
local war industries in the Bethes-
da-Silver Spring areas the Bethes-
da Chevy Chase High School is
offering two classes in Aircraft
Sheet Metal and one in Machine
Shop Practice, every night from
TOO to HOO P. NJ, except Satur-
day and Sunday. Mr.. Wisner urges
more men and women to take adj
vantage of these classes to prepare
themselves for well-paid jobs in
these local plants.
Mr.. Wisner said "young men
who are likely to be called into
the armed services should also
avail themselves Of the opportuni-
ties offered, as this type of train
ing should give them an advant-
age of position when they are
eventually indicted"

annual fall membership drive were
made. Each of the 13 directors
along with their co-workcrs, will

luncheon. However, due to the in
expediency of this at the present
time because of the tire and gas
situation, the directors have de-
cided to award $500 bond to the
solicitor with the highest number
of memberships. AS special in
centive to reach a goal of $50

T. Yellott Candy of Colesville
District, farmer, has been chosen
foreman of the Montgomery Coun-
ty grand jury at the converting of
the November term.
In charging the grand jury,
Judge Charles w. Woodward point
ed out that rights and privileges
are being curtailed by bureau
heads in Washington but that the
people are acquiescing because
they feel it necessary to the prose
cution of the war.
The jurist warned, however, that
history shows that where freedom
and rights have been curtailed
they seldom have been restored in
full and urged that full restoration
of all rights be looked forward to
at the end of the war.
The judge pointed out that this
is one of the few countries with
the protection of the grand jury
system and called attention to con-
trast between this country and
those where persons are impris-
oned and executed at the will of
dictators.

ment for a 26 bed addition to the
hospital, including all equipment,

The Woman's Board plays a
large part in the upkeep of the
hospital. From a membership of
eight in 1919 to 100 in 1912; from
small benefit parties as a means of
raising funds to an annual supper,
which this year Melted $3,946.19
with small amounts still coming
in)--such is the picture of growth
presented by the Board.

the great turning point Of the

on the offensive. On the de-

Aside from the significance of

the home front that could have
occurred. 1t is needless tc point
out that the American public
