Pamela was flattercd by this ex-
trene gallantry. 1t was pretty ro-
mantle, considering how easily she
could have done the whole thing by
herself. She protested now with be-
coming vehemence. but he was firm.
Its all my fault" he declared
resnorsefully. Il was pretty dumb
not to notice the tide" He rolled
up his neat uniform trousers above
his knees with grim determination.
Pamela. remembering how nicely
pressed they had been, felt that this
was the supreme sacrifice. I'm carry
your shoes" she offered.
The trip was exciting. He held
her tightly and she ciutched his
neck. The sharp barnacles and slip
pery seaweed made him stagger.
and even in the tension Of the mo-
ment Pamela thought that the Cam
eron girl would have been ten
pounds heavier.
Then they were safe on the sandy
shore, and he was saying wonder
ingly: .'But / don't even know your
name!
That struck them both as ire
sistibIy funny - clasping each other
with a strangIe hold and then asking
for an introduction, as it were. He
still held ,on to her while she told
him her name: then he told her his
- Jerry.
WHEN her feet were finally on the
ground once more, and there seemed
no further excuse to linger, she held
out her hand. 'tGood-by thanks
for bringing me acr0ss."
'Oh that was nothing. You
really weren't heavy At all"
There was an imperceptible pause.
"Well. Eood-by," said Pamela
again. They shook hands once more.
''Cood-by," repeated Jerry iinwilI-
ingly. you aren't. ! suppose. BY
any chance, going to be at the Club
dance tonight"
''Oh yes" said Pamela. II always

'You do? Jerry's face lighted
with pleasure. why that's SWELL
I'll see you then. Save me some
dances, viii you?"
''Of COARSE" There was no shadow
of doubt in Pamela's willingness.
She went homewards along the
beach lightheartedly. The Club
dances were always loads Of fun.

Applications for Absentee Bal
lots continue to arrive at the office
of the Board of Elections Super
visors for Montgomery County,
and up to this time the board has
mailed 700 ballots. Approximately
1000 more will be mailed this
week. Over 1000 applications
have been received from men
and women serving in the armed
forces throughout the entire
world.
The ballots will be mailed each
week as the applications arrive
from the Secretary of State, An
napolis, to whom all are addressed.
at is not too late for any rela-
tive or friend of men or women
in the service to make request for
an application to be sent to abb
sentee voters" said F. Byrne
Austin, clerk to the Montgom-
cry County Board. The absentee
voting law states: upon the re-
quest of any relative or friend of
an Absentee Resident, it shall be
the duty of the several Boards to
furnish said relative or friend an
application to be forwarded to
such Absentee Resident and on
which such Absentee Resident may
apply for a State Absentee Bal
lot"
Many inquiries have been made
as to the manner in which an
absentee man or woman, who has
never registered before, will be-
come a legal voter and be allowed
to vote in November.
In explanation of this Mr..
Austin stated: each voted
ballot will be returned to the vari-
GUS Election Boards in a sealed
Ballot Envelope on which is
printed an affidavit form. before
opening the envelopes, the Board
will determine if the voter is reg
istered by checking the Registra-
ton Books. If not, said Board
shall accept the information, set
forth in the duly executed oath on
the envelope as prima facie accu-
rate and correct, and if the infor-
nation discloses that the Absentee
Resident is a citizen Of the United
States; will be 81 or older on the
day of the election; has been a

The Charter "PrO" And "COn'
C O N

At a meeting of the Citizens
Committee to Defeat Charter last
Monday at Silver Spring a new
and effective worker was enlisted.
He is George K. Brobeck of Chevy
Chase. In an extemporaneous
speech Mr.. Brobeck presented what
was probably as effective an ar
gument against the charter as mas
yet been made. Mr.. Brobeck stated
that he became a resident of Mont
gomery County for its beauty, its
good government, its schools, its
police, its low tax-rate, its res
ponsiveness to public needs, etc.
and pledged his activ support
of the non-partisan effort to
defeat any change. II don't like
the idea of working on problem
and being or becoming a guinea
pig" ne said. "When this thing
was brought about you will find
that they used lot of six syllable
words which could be much better
explained in two syllable words.
I got a digest of the Brook
ings Institute report and The thing
which stands out, it seems to me, Is
that they continually recommend
the expenditure of more money.
Other developments during the
week included two public state
ments from Judge Brault. The first
set forth the reasons for the COM
mittee's opposition to the charter
and the second answering the at
tack made on the committee by
the charter committee chairman.
In his answer to Mr.. Gardner's at
tack Judge Brault said, in part:
"Mr. Gardner attacks my con-
nection with this citizens COM
mittee because l am trial magis-
trate for the Bethesda Chevy
Chase District appointed by Gov
error Herbert r. OConor under
the provisions of Statewide law.
Charter supporters do not attack
the efficiency or the adequacy OF
any single service Of the county
government. They do not say
how, under the charter plan, any
one thing in Montgomery County
would be improved. They know
in the county government here now
is good, its services are adequate
and modern, and its cost compara-
lively economical.

ter supporters what they would

In a radio address over four
Maryland Stations this week Gov.
Herbert R. O'Conor, in speaking of
Maryland's law said:
So anxious are we that every
service person be enabled to take
part in the election that in our
State Law We made is possible to
recognize the Federal ballot, which
privilege is not extended by the
majority of States. But we prefer
that the soldiers use the State bal.

Sandy Spring Firemen
Send Out Appeal

Under the continued war condi-

Fire Department does not consider
it fitting to resume its carnival

of 1912 and 1943 of sending q
"letter instead. Last year more
than $25OO was realized from the
plan.
A large sum was recently spent
for hose and special foam type
fire extinguisher, according to
William H. Gilpin, president, who
asks that contributions be at least
as generous as last year. Members
Of the department excused for Mi

The following is a partial state
ment issued by Allen H. Gardner,
chairman of the Charter Com
mittee:
"The line of attack on the char
ter, as contained in the statement
of Judge Albert E. Brault, the
Executive Secretary, Treasurer
and spokesman for the newly
named opposition group, is similar
to that taken by Montgomery
County's machine politicians ever
since the county employed the
Brookings institution to make its
noteworthy survey.
"In arguing that the charter
should be defeated, the opposition
statement overlooks serious defects
in the present government and
certain clear advantages in the
provisions of the charter. The
consensus of opinion is summed up
in the report of Brookings Insti-
tuition, which after an intensive
survey, concluded that Montgom-
cry County had outgrown its form
of government, and recommended
the adoption of a charter for the
county.
"The charter, far from being
untried as our opponents would
have it, is based on the expert
ence Of the past. It's major pro-
visions have stood the test of time
in many cities and counties in the
United States. 1t is a specific and
constructive platform for the i'm
provement Of our county govern
ment. It's outstanding advantages
include legislative home rule, a
county manager, a merit system,
financial controls, and a county
council elected on a non-partisan
ticket"

"COcky Pilots

if I'm not afraid that the law of

and that I'll be knocked down it

that scares me-, writes 1t. Rich
ard l.. Waters, Jr., to his aunt in

up too many planes and kill too
many men besides themselves.
Every time 1 start to "get hot" l
remember that l want to come
home after the war is over and
practice law and raise a mess Of
kids.
1t. Waters, a native of Mont.
gomery County, grandson of the
late Clara Ray Wilson, has recent
ly returned to the South Pacific
after spending five weeks leave in
Los Angeles with his wife and in
Carson City with Mr.. and Mrs. Ric-
hard L. Walters, Sr., and his sister,
Mrs. Robert E. Dannemiller.
He has been in the service since

other Carolinas and has also taken
some missions over the Marianas,
Guam, Tinian and an He

1t was on a Saipan strike that
1t. Waters saw one of his good
friends shot down and saw Jap
fighters strafe the two men of
the crew who succeeded in bailing
out. Waters plane was among
those on the longest heavy bomber
mission on record 2782 miles. He
is a part of the 7th the old pre-
war Hawaiian Air Force. He says
"We were the first bunch to be
attacked by the Japs and make
no mistake we took hell of
beating but since that we have
been dealing out interest on the
Japs' investment.

At his request he has returned
for more combat duty, he says
someone has to be doing it and
adds at is sort of fun TO plant a
