Final Figures
Show Montgomery
Raised $3,688,58O
Is 1920 Of QuOta-Chair-
man Green Praises All Who
Helped

Richard F. Green, Chairman of
Montgomery County's Fifth War
Loan Drive, announced today that
Montgomery County's final sales
figures, as announced officially by
the Federal Reserve Bank of Rich
mond, amounted to $3,688, $50. so.
This figure represented 1920 of
the overall quota of 100000
Mr.. Green pointed out that the
County's quota for individual sales
was $2,2OO,0OO.O0 and that sales
in this category amounted to
1922, ,264.5O.
Commenting on the drive today,
Mr.. Green said, Montgomery
County's quota was increased by
$3.50, 100000 in the Fifth War Loan
Drive but, as in the four prev
ious drives, the people of the
County measured up to the duty
assigned them by our Government.
So many organizations and indi-
viduals helped in this campaign
that it is difficult to single out any
one individual or organization for
creditable work but I would es-
pecially like to commend the pub
lie school system Of the County,
headed by DR.. Edwin w. Broome,
whose organization sold 1852, ,552. 90
against a quota of $3OO,OOO.O0, DR..
Broome was handicapped in the
drive by the closing of the schools
on June 16, only four days after
the opening Of the drive. Other
organizations which did especially
well were the Lions Clubs which
sold $283, ,025.00 against quota of
5000, 100000 and the B'nai Birth
Society which sold $57,475 against
quota of $35,O00."
"In concluding the campaign"
Mr.. Green said, "Let me express
my whole hearted admiration of
the people of the County, the news
papers, and all who made the diff
ficult task so successful"

WOmen'S Board
Seeks Funds
For Hospital
Letter" Asks Assistance
To Help Carry On Work

For the second time in almost a
quarter of century conditions
make it impossible to hold the an
nual Hospital Supper" given each
summer at the Sherwood School,
Sandy Spring, by the Women's
Board, for benefit of the Mont
gomery County General Hospital.
To meet the hospitals ever
present need for newer and
more modern equipment to ease
the suffering of those who must
enter it's doors, a "1etter" is
being circulated asking financial
assistance.
The letter asks those who
nave attended the supper not
to forget the happy hours spent
there-they will come again-and
cites the immediate needs of the
hospital-an operating room for en-
ergency and minor operations, a
remodeled diet kitchen, a freezing
cabinet and a drug room. And, of
course, there is always the dream
of the Woman's Board yet to be
realized-a new wing when building
materials are once more available.
Contributions are to be sent to the
treasurer, Mrs. Edith B. Thomas,
Ednor, Md.
Besides the Woman's Board of
100 members representatives of
the "a clubs of the Montgomery

Mrs. Douglas Whitlock, of Sandy

mittee will issue an, alternate pur-
chase certificate to this buyer.

and sweetnearts of soldiers in
the countries Of Europe are
totally different from the same
group of people in America? l
contend there is no real diff
ference. There is as much love
for the son in
Heartaches uniform in Italy,
All Over France, Ger
The World many, Russia
and the Balkans
as there is in America. The
heartaches, sacrifices, anxiety
and worst Of all, the terrible
uncertainties, are just as much
a part of human nature there as
here.
In support of this statement
know of German prisoner
who reached this country re-
Gently who was captured in
Normandy. This prisoner is a
veteran of the First World War
and the father of four sons and
one daughter. He has lost three
sons in this war, doesn't know
where the fourth is and hasn't
heard from his daughter in three
years. He has stated that life
has no further horrors nor at
fractions for him. Is that story
not sufficient to convince anyone
of the futility of war as means
of settling international issues,
Can anyone deny that this man
(and there are probably mil
lions in Germany who have ex-
perienced to greater or lesser
degree the same soul-destroying
anguish) whose life and family
have been sacrificed to war does
not pray that the future holds
a real peace for his country
men?
Nor can anyone deny that the
overwhelming sentiment in this
country is for some strong-arm
method of maintaining peace.
We have always accepted what
leaders propose and agree. We
shall, of course,
Peace By be obliged to
StrOng-Arm accept the same
Methods? in the making of
a new peace.
But in the acceptance we should
make known our wishes. We
should give the United States
representatives the benefit Of our
feeling while they are making
the peace.
While we are fighting this
global war to win we are actually
fighting to secure future peace.
Which brings us to the point Of
considering where danger to
future peace might lie. Always
there is danger of conflict be-
tween smaller nations which can
and probably will be anticipated
in any new world plan for peace.
But the great danger rests
among the three great powers
United States, Russia and Great
Britain. To assume that because
of our common cause against
Germany we will have common
cause in the peace years is to
bury our heads in the sand.
There is only one way to visual
ize the future. We must be
realistic. We will be dealing
with the most realistic world
figure in generations when we
deal with Uncle Joe Stain. We
must approach the future with
a full knowledge Of the important
position Russia will have at
tanned because of her part in de-
stroying the Nazi menace.
In Russia we have most of the
probabilities of permanent peace.
With her lies the greatest threat
to peace and with her lies the
greatest hope of peace. And we
