Kako cutimo potrebo po dobri
besedi!
Naenkrat sem Sc spomnil, da
imam tudi JAZZ znanca v vasi. Kar
dvignilo me je, da bi Sci in ga
zbudil. Povedal sem gospodarju,
da bonn Sci obiskat domacega
kaplana, XII ga dobro poznam in
XII Sc me DO gotovo razveselil, sal
sva nekoc tako 1.-Two slutila vpra-
sanja, XII so sc danes odprla v
vsej sirini. Zahotelo sc mi .je po-
govora z Nikodemom, XII me We
re mani topel spomin in XII ga da-
nes gotovo trpi pod tragieno
krivdo duhovniskega stanu.
Gospodar Sc je zacudeno obr-
nil k meni in mi polozil roko ma
rame:: 'Nikar, prosim vas!" Po-
gledal sem ga, in napolnila me je
groza, ces, ali je tudi ia podle-
gel? Gospodar, XII je gledal toll
kim unirajocim ma Rabu oci,
je rahlo stisnil roko ma mojem
ramenu in dejal: "Bojimo Sc ga"
Tedaj Sc je v meni nekaj zrusilo.
Verjel sem besedi izmucenega
cloveka. Stopil sem ma prag hise
in sc motni temi zazrl proti
zupniscu.
Tam doll v bell sobi spi mlad
slovenski kaplan in ne We, kaj sc

vasi. Pred mole oci je stopila po-
doba sobe, z licnim pohistvon1,

novomasniskim spominom mad
klecalnikom v kotu. Povsod sta
red in cistost, povsod disi po ja-
bolkih in kadilu, cez okna visi-

podobnih vprasanj. Ma vsako
vprasanje je S svincnikom zabe-
lezeno odgovarjajoce pozitivno
ali negativno znamenje.
Zagledal sem obraz mladega

Naming Of Bowman
10 Posfmastership
AssaiIed by CuIIum
Won't Drop Petition
For Reconsideration
By Civil Service

William E. Bowman, 48. of 804
Wayne avenue, Silver Spring, today
prepared to take over his new duties
as postmaster at Silver Spring, after
his confirmation for the post yester-
day by the Senate.
Meanwhile. Acting Postmaster
Dyke Cullum said he would not
withdraw his petition requesting the
Civil Service Commission to recon-
slider Its refusal to include his name
in an eligibility list for the appoint
ment.
The Senate's action, which was
taken without waiting for decision
by the Civil Service Commission on
my request, is equivalent to hanging
man before trying him." Mr.. Cul-
lum declared.
A native of Brighton, Md, Mr..
Bowman has been a resident of
Montgomery County most of his life.
He has been with the Wolfe Motor
Co. in Silver Spring for the last Is
years and now is the firms general
manager.
He served with the Navy during
the World War and is member Of
Stansbury Masonic Lodge. He has
two sons, Corpl. William E. Bow
man, jr., now attending Officers
Candidate School at Barkley Field.
Tex, and Joseph A. Bowman, and
daughter, Mrs. Doris Badini
Mr.. Collum filed his petition with
the Civil Service Commission in
November after the Democratic
State Central Committee for Mont
gomery County had refused his re-
quest to ask the commission to re-
view its failure to includc his name
IN a list of three eligibles for the
job.
At that time, the committee de-
clared that while we may be i'm
pressed as your local friends and
associates with the merit of the rea-
sons for asking this review of the
case, we are not of the opinion
that we could count upon favorable
acceptance OF our request by the
Post Office Department or by the
Civil Service Commission.
