large area. Traffic on the road
was tied up for several hours.

In a lovely setting of sunshine,
warm breezes, colorful autumn
leaves and flowers the 80th ami
versary of the Germantown Bap-
tist Church was celebrated on Sun
day, October 8, 1914.
The main address was given by
Rev. X. /. Berghauser of Balti-
more, and special songs by Charles
Hitler of Washington, the Misses
Hawkins of Brookeville, Miss Julia
Conley and Miss Mary Shepard of
Travilah, Clarence Plummer Of
Gaithersburg, Miss Mary 10 Bell
of Washington and the Umberger
sisteres trio. The Rev. Clarence
Jones of Kensington gave the ben
ediction. The former Miss Beu-
lah White, now Mrs. X. Smith,
presided at the piano and her hus-
band led the group singing.
The present pastor, Rev. Claude
A. Brubaker, Old Georgetown
Road, Bethesda, is the radio pas
tor of "The Little Church in the
Wildwood, WTOP, at 9.15 a. m.
each Sunday. The Rev. Samuel
r. White was the first pastor and
served five years. Henry Williams
was the first clerk. The first bap-
tism was held at Black Rock in
Seneca Creek. There were about
60 members in the first group
when the new building was dedi-
Gated in 1864.
The church was a mission of the
Rockville Baptist Church and was
organized at pleasant Hills
Farm, then the property Of Mr..
and Mrs. james X. Hawkins, in
the year 1859. SO Jealous in their
faith were Mr.. and Mrs. Hawkins
that they rode horseback all the
way TO White Oaks TO be baptized

When Mr.. Marquis Childs sup

column in the Washington Post re
Gently, he continued the indefinite
claims that the Charter group have
regularly made during 1912 anc
1943 when the same Mr.. Childs was

Mr.. Childs made this definite
statement in his column Monday :
"officeholders who give US rea-
sonably decent but probably pretty
expensive form of government"
The Committee observes con-
corning Mr.. Childs' opinion that the
present form Of government is "pro-
badly pretty expensive" that no
definite claim of less spending or
greater economy has been made by
any Charter speaker or in any
Charter literature since the Char.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
TO COMPETE FOR
SALVAGE AWARDS

In a special appeal to county
residents to aid in the waste paper
drive, Richard |. Schaefer, sal
wage director for the county, will
speak over Station WRC tomor-
row (Fridayl at 1890 p. m. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Schaefer the need
for waste paper, tin cans and
waste fats is greater today than
it was a year ago.
Plans have been made with DR..
Edwin w. Broome, superintendent
of Montgomery County Schools,
to organize the school children
again in collecting paper. Schools
will compete for pennant awards
as they did last year. Competi-
tion in the salvage drive will add
stimulus to the campaign, Schae-
fer said.
According to figures released,
salvage collected in Montgomery
County during the last six months
amounted to approximately 1882
975 pounds of waste paper and
about 285,000 pounds of tin cans
and scrap metal. Mr.. Schaefer
also announced that $4,000 pounds
of waste fats were collected.

The Mission became a full fiedg-
ed church in 1864. The logs were

that early time. The good folks
of that day knew no sacrifice too

Two members present at the 50th
Anniversary in 1914 were also
present Sunday and took an ac-
tive part. They were Senior Dea-
con "Uncle Bud" Albert Bennett,
and "Aunt Libbie" Mrs. Mary l..
Bowman, who still teaches Sun
day School class every Sunday.
She plans to attend the Associa-
ton in Baltimore this month Mrs.
Bowman gave a lovely introduc-
ton to the playlet depicting the
early days of the church. Miss
Lois Combs Of Gaithersburg took
the part Of Mrs. Hawkins, wearing
the dress so familiar in those days.
She was assisted by the younger
folk of the church. Miss Kate
Smith was impersonated by Miss
Marie Umberger in the presenta-
tion of the Bible which was the
original one presented in 1864 to
the church.
There was a large and happy
audience as was demonstrated by
their generous contributions. The
offering Of 1920 will be used to
pay for a new roof and interior
decorating. An addition TO the
present building is planned for
the future.

ing. Our appeal is direct and clear
We say that if you want sound
economical, machine-free govern.
ment for Montgomery County, the
Charter win bring it to you.
Those who are fighting the Char
ter. are trying to play both ends
against the middle. For example
the opposition says in one breath
"Under the Charter, all county EN-
ployees will lose their jobs" In
the next breath, they say, "Those
now working for the county are in
for life--nothing can get them out.
Now which of those arguments ic
true? Both can't be true. In fact
neither one is true, but both are
put out to catch the unwary voter
either going or coming.
Again, anti -Charterites say in
one breath, ut will destroy the
party system of American govern
ment," and in the next breath,
'The Democratic organization will
be stronger than ever at special
election and will elect the Council
which will appoint Brooke Lee as
County Manager.
Which of those statements il
true? Both cannot be true. But
that's the kind of talk the opposi-
lion believes will fool people.
The fact is that the Charter pro.
vides a Merit System which estab-
fishes fair and orderly procedure
for employing or dismissilg county
employees and enables them t.
work without fear or favor. They
hold their jobs, regardless of party

Fires Near Mt. Airy
And Gaithersburg
Cause Big Losses

Two fires in the upper section
of the county during the week
caused a loss in essential food
stuffs. A big barn owned by Ed
ward l.. Burdette, Browningsville,
was destroyed when it was struck
by lightning Saturday, and fire of
an undetermined origin destroyed
the hatchery Of c. o. Bourdeaux,
near Gaithersburg, early Tuesday
morning.
Firemen from Mt. Airy and
Rockville battled the flames for
six hours, at the Burdette place,
before getting them under control.
About 40 tons of dairy feed was
burned, also a quantity of hay,
straw, dairy equipment and other
materials were destroyed, at an
estimated loss of $4,000.
In the Gaithersburg fire the
hatchery, 5000 eggs, about 800
baby chicks and all equipment was
burned. The Gaithersburg- Wash
ington Grove Volunteer Fire De-
partment responded to a call but
the fire had gained too much head
way. The loss is said to be well
covered by insurance, and the
hatchery will be rebuilt as soon as
possible, according to the owner.
