Thirty-three foreign born per-

Montgomery, were admitted to
citizenship last week. We spent an
hour or so in the Circuit Court
room and listened as Judge Sted-
man Prescott heard their pleas.
The one that most interested us
was denied citizenship for the Sec
ond time-Judge Charles w. Wood
ward having heard the case last
year.
We liked the understanding way
Judge Prescott talked to this man
who had been fined about 20 or %
times for minor attractions of the
law-finding no other place to park.

you were in a "bookie" place ?"

Il go now to the track" was the
reply. "Well, you can't blame a
man for that" said the Judge as he
placed him on probation for another
year.
"Does not the Constitution say
something about a mans rights?"
persisted the man. "Now that is
just the point the Judge explain

AMONG THE
HOMEMAKERS
BurtonsviNe

The Burtonsville Homemakers
were guests of Mrs. ]. E. James
on January II. Their new presi-
dent, Mrs. Earl Becraft, presided
and appointed her committees. The
Club decided they would again this
year have as club project supplying
canned fruits and vegetables to the
Montgomery County Hospital.
Four Corners
Mrs. Carol Benjamin entertain
ed the -Four Corners Club on Jan.

very excellent report of the project
they completed in December when
they supplied all the men in one
ward in military hospital with fresh
cookies, homemade candies and
fruits. Two new members were
added to this club
Browningsville
On Jan. 10 Mrs. Iris Gladhill was
hostess to the Browningsville Club.
Due to illness in that group the
plans for holding a feather mat

pointed the various chairman for
her club.

An unusually large group attend

new members were added to this
club.
Rockville
The Rockville Club met in the
Home Demonstration Office the eve
ming of Jan. 20. As there are q
great many new members in this
club, their President, Mrs. Carlton
Savage, had each one at roll call
stand up and tell where she was
born, where she grew up, was edu-
Gated, what her interests are, what
her husband does and little bit
about her family. It really was
most interesting for some of the
club members to find that some Of
the people in the club had come
from the same section of the state
they were from.

Real Coordination

When duty-conscious police and an alert judge
coordinate their efforts and talents toward
Kidding the community of an Objectionable
situation the. result is usually attainment OF
their aim.
We know OF no better example than action
taken against noisy taxi stands here recently
For months, complaints OF disorderly con-
duct at and near the terminals and similar
establishments have been made. The condition
reached near climax at recent shooting and
the man responsible was hailed into court At
first appearance the case was mol pressed.
But, later learning that "a greater offense
had been committed and that the matter de-
served investigation Judge H. Winfield Smith
reopened the matter.
With the investigating officers presenting a
strong case, the defendant was convicted of
discharging firearms in the city and fined.
The judges action set the stage for even
more relief for those who have suffered from
the nerve-shattering brawling and shooting in
the affected neighborhood. The City council,
acting with the Recorders court case under
discussion, has initiated a move to break up
the disturbances. The Defendant-operator' IL
cense was ordered revoked and, in addition,
Police Chief Casteen was requested to recon-
mend revocation of permits of all cab drivers
involved in misconduct or difficulty with the
law.
Results of the proceedings have been fruit
full. The man responsible for one case of dis
order has been dealt with in the lower courts
and the council has acted to assure, as far as
it is able, better conditions in the future.
Three-way congratulations are in order to
Chief Casteen and his men, Judge Smith and
the council.

Alien Corn

# Box Office, the entertainment publication,
is correct then we may have misjudged James
Caesar Petrfllo and the striking members of
his American Federation of Musicians at sta
ton KSTP in Minneapolis. For, according to a
Box Office article, the stubbornness Of the II
striking musicians who are still out despite a
WLB back-to-work order springs from deep
esthetic roots.
It seems that the president of the Minneapo-
lis local doesn't like hill-billy music. He wants
year-round employment for this boys (Which
KSTP doesn't want to give but he wants it to
be '1egit''-no corny concertos, no rustic ron
dos, mountain madrigals or bucolic boogie-
woogie.
If KSTP will sign up or If President Roosevelt
takes over the station and personally orders
the boys to get in there and shuck that corn,
the locals president will comply. But short of
that, nothing doing.
Perhaps, from the standpoint of serious
musician with an allergy to hill-billy ballads,
the Minneapolis union leader has justice on his
side. As for Mr.. Petrillo's reaction to all this,
we can't say. After perusal of the record,
we can't discover whether Mr.. Petrillo likes
music of any sort

Replacements Still Needed

Maj.-Gen Lewis B. Hershey, the Selective
Service chief, dropped some more rather con-
f,1sing remarks the other night in Seattle. He
told a group of local draft board members
that Twelve got the Army practically built, -
but that the need for requirements was such
that "even the men up to SO are liable to be
called.''
This seems to put us right back in the mud
die that existed before the country's pressing
manpower needs were finally reconciled be-
tween industry and the armed forces.
Yet we cannot quarrel with the purpose be-
hind the need for requirements. Some of our
boys have been overseas two and three years."
General Hershey points out, land it's time we
brought them back" Certainly the return home
for many is long overdue.

Daily Prayer
FOR TEACHERS OF CHILDREr

AS we watch the children at play
with toy weapons, the realization
sweeps over us that they are the
real soldiers of tomorrow, who
must do battle with spiritual wea-
pons for the creation and preser-
walton of a new world. Dear Fa-
Their, do Thou turn their steps early
unto Thee, and to an obedience to
Thy will. Inspire all parents and
teachers and writers with fresh
understanding of the sacredness of
their mission. Give them great pa
tience as they shape the plastic
lives of youth. May they all be
taught of Thee. Impart unto them,
we plead, Thy gentleness, and the
Saviour's own love for the little
ones. Open their eyes to the crisis
character of our time, and to the
decisive part they may play in
making tomorrow's world like In
to the Kingdom of Heaven. So NAV
thelr own souls be enlarged and
enriched by their holy calling.
Amen.-W.T.E

God! Oh, my God" He had E
bandage on his right hand ano
there was blood on his left leg
The doctor took his scissors ane
cut the Logging off, then cut the
laces on the shoe, and then peeled
off a bloody sock and cut the
pants leg up so he could see the
wound. The soldier kept his eyes
shut and kept squirming and
moaning.
When the doctor would try to
talk to him he would just groan and
say, "Oh, my God!" Finally the
doctor got out of him that he had
had a small wound in his hand,
and his sergeant had bandaged il
and told him to start to the rear.
Then, coming across the field, a
shell fragment had got him in the
leg.
The doctor looked him over thor
oughly. There were two small
holes just above the ankle. The
doctor SAID they hadn't touched the
bone. I think the doctor was dis
gusted.
He said, Hes making hell OF
a fuss over nothing" Then to one
of the aidmen he said, Better
give him shot of morphine to
quiet him.
Whereupon the soldier squirmed
and moaned, ooh, no, no, no! Oh,
my God!" But the doctor said go
ahead, and the aidman cut h S
sleeve up to the shoulder. stuck
the needle in and squeezed the vial.
The aidman, trying to be SYM
pathetic, said to the soldier, "It's
the same old needle, amt it?'' But
the soldier just groaned again and
said, ooh, my God!'
Our hillbilly soldier lit another
skinny cigar, as though he were at
a national convention instead of a
battlefield. Then one set of the
litterbearers started back with our
new man, and the rest of us went
on with the soldier to hunt for
other wounded.

Christopher La FARCE is not the
only one who can use fiction to
report fact There is also Fritz
Hoellering, who used to be a Ger
man editor. Mr.. Hoellering fought
the Nazi party while he still had
the materials for battle and when
he was tossed out of Germany he
came, like so many others, to
america. According to his publish
er, he has been trying to find nim-
self since.
"Furlough' is the second novel
he has published since he came to
this country, and unlike the first,
it was written in English. 1t is
written well, too, in spite of a kind
OF soft focus that unfamiliarity with
the colloquial meaning of certain
words sometimes gives his prose.
The novel has a great many fine
points its sincerely, its truthful
presentation OF the fact underlying
Germany today, the strange way
in which the daemonic character
OF certain Germans is accurately
transcribed. But it has a serious
lack, which is humor.

say there is nothing funny in Ger
