tendance at the P-B-D Club was
enough to thrill any club president
and Mrs. Maurice Umstead was
proud. The hostess, Mrs. Lloyd
Jones, was assisted by her sisters
Mrs. Clagett Hilton and Mrs. Not
ley Davis. Mrs. Hilton and Mrs
! Davis, with Mrs. Alice Kinsey, Of
Gaithersburg, have given the coun.
ty special recognition at the Rural
Woman's Short Course by never
having missed a course since ii
started in 1923.
This club, too, gave generously
to the Red Cross Fund. The Thrift
Shop in Poolesville, sponsored by
the club, divides it's proceeds with
the Health Center. This shop owes
its origin to one of Mrs. Charles
Tipton's enthusiastic ideas, and it's
progress to her associates fine sup
port.
GlenmOnt
"The Glenmont Club may be the
youngest in the whole council, but
it is precocious child" says Miss
Turner, who is most enthusiastic
about their sale of some of the
lovely clothing to which their pres
ident, Mrs. Oberlin fell neir. They
presented the sum realized from
subscriptions to The Sentinel to the
Agent for office equipment.
The club members are now MAX
ing puzzles for sale-Miss Turner
is carrying around a set. Mrs. Paul
Stabler has solved the problem Of
low cost blocks; Mrs. Grace Eyre
has also made blocks-beautifully
polished ones.
Mrs. Eyre, Mrs. Dorothy Davis,
Mrs. Eta Plia, and Mrs. Yonna
Covert were hostesses to the six
teen members and the twelve small
children on Friday. Mrs. Charles
w. Haines was surprised to find
that she was the honored guest of
the day as it was her birthday.
Editors Note: Perhaps you had
better send list of your members,
Mrs. President-we probably have
spelled some of the names incor-
rectly.)

Was it by design Or accident
that The Montgomery County
Policemen's Ball comes this year on
st. Patrick's Day? And why since
time immemorial have the Irish
been associated with the police
force. Is it true that the turned
up" nose of the Irish makes it so
easy for them to smile?
We have always contended that
there was great deal more Irish
blood in Maryland than was usual
ly conceded-that many who claim
English ancestry should term it
"British"-for most of them have
a bit O. Irish Or Scotch in them.
We heard Mrs. Boland read an in
teresting article to the German
town club several years ago which
we have permission to use in part.
But first, do you know that st.
Patrick is SAID to have CHOSEN the
Shamrock as the emblem of the
doctrine of the trinity because Of
the triple heart-shaped leaves
When the sun goes down, the sham
rock, like all good clovers, folds its
leaves as though in prayer-when
the sun rises they open up to greet
the new day.
Of course we have all read that
Ireland was the first to establish
new civilization after the "an-
cient civilization had faded into
medieval darkness" While the rest
of Europe was in the hands of bar

MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
] RPB-MA.lO7
BIZ ELSIE WHITE HAINES-

barians Ireland was untouched.
For centuries there was no other
place in Europe that could offer
educational advantages. Like the
culture of the Greeks it shed its
radiance over the world-students
locked to Ireland. But England in
vaded Ireland and is today, centur-
les later still feeling the bitterness
and hate which was the conse-
quence.
We quote:
Our own state of Maryland has
benefited by Irish immigration. If
there is any doubt about the fact
that the so called English settle
ment of Maryland was not as much
Irish we have only to delve into
the certificates of land grants.
These land grants show that it was
customary for Irish colonists to
name their lands after places in
their native country and there is
hardly a town or city of Ireland
that is not represented in the nom
enclat9re of the early Maryland
grants. One of the entire sections
of the new grants was called, the
County of New Ireland by procla-
nation of Lord Baltimore in 1884.
This was occupied wholly by Irish
families. This section is now en-
braced in Cecil and Hartford coun-
ties.
New Ireland County was divided
into three parts, New Connaught,
New Munster, and New Leinster.
New Connaught was founded by
George Talbot, from Roscommon,
who was surveyor and general of
the province; New Munster by Ed
ward O'Dwyer from Tipperary and
New Leinster by Bryan O'Daly
Wicklow; all of whom were in
Maryland prior to 1853.
Among the prominent men in the
province may be mentioned Charles
O'Carrol who was secretary to the
proprietor; John Hart from County
Cavan, Governor of Maryland, in
TIA to 1920; Phillip Conner from
/ Kerry the last Commander of Old
Kent; Daniel Dulaney one of Amer
ica's foremost lawyers; Michael
Tawney, Or fancy, ancestor of the
celebrated Judge Roger Brooke
fancy; the Courseys from Cork,
one of the Oldest families in the
state, and many others.
The only place in the state bear
ing a genuine Irish name which
has reached any prominence is
Baltimore. 1t was originally NAM
ed Ely O'Carroll after the barony
Of that name in Kings and Tip
perary county the home of the clan
J Carroll.
During the war of the revolution
Maryland's Muster rolls shows
Maryland Irish to the number of
1888 exclusive of the large num-
Der who joined the militia and the
navy as well as those who were
neld to guard the frontier against
Indian raids.
Little wonder then, that we, like
the rest of the world join with the
Irish in celebration of their ma
ional feast day, a day which does
not marx the time of st. Patricks
birth, but the day Of his death.

was each evening to broadcast to

and erudite, racy and tender.

Man Now Can See Again
After Operation on Eye
BY the Associated Press.

TULSA, Okla, Dec. 25.-Edward
Boston, 38, after almost lifetime
|of partial and total bllnoness, got
the finest Christmas present of all.
He was given sight in his right eye.
Mr.. Boston's left eye went blind
% years ago. His right eye grad

out. He enrolled in the State School
for Blind and became a broom
maker.
| Then the Tulsa Lions Club sent
him to an Omaha, Nebr., hospital
and an operation restored the right
eye.

400 Lobbies Active
In Washington Now,
Stuart Chase Says
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Economist
Stuart Chase, asserting there were
more than 400 organized lobbies in
Washington, predicted yesterday
that ''if the pressure group free-for-
all holds the stage, economic break
down is not far away
In a report to the Goth Century
Fund, portions of which we're made
public by Evans Clark, fund execu-
tive director, Mr.. Chase classifleo
lobbies in five groups: The big
three" official business, labor and
farm organizations; specialized pro-
ducers, such as cattlemen, citrus
growers, publishers, broadcasting
stations, telephone interests; pro-
fessional and occupations groups,
such as bankers, real estate men,
advertisers, doctors, teachers, law
yers; reformers, such as conserva-
tionists and birth-control advocates;
the governments in exile.
The economist said that "practic-
ally all the labors Of the economic
pressure groups" revolve around the
twin goals of "a direct subsidy for
the interest itself, or a hand grenade
for a competitor" He added, how
ever, that this is no harmony cho-
rus" because such goals were often
'in violent conflict as among the
several groups"
big business, big labor and big
agriculture" he said, have all or
ganized monopolies after their fash
ion and left the fluid play of free
competitive forces far behind them.
In support of their organized eco
nonic interest, each has established
powerful political lobbies. to bring
pressure on both Federal and State
governments
Mr.. Chase said there were four
methods of applying national politi-
cal pressure: Getting the right
Congress member, who would vote
for the groups bills, elected by
means of campaigning in the field;
turning the heat" on Congress
members already elected inf1uenc-
ing an administrative agency to in
terpret bills the right" way, and
fighting the constitutionality of un-
favorable bills through the courts.

BRUNSWICK, Ga, Dec. 25.-
Shipyard workers here put in their
eight hours today-free.
It was a Christmas present for
the fighting forces on the front
lines.
And the welding rod they worked
with was free, too, the gift of the
New York Metal and Thermite
Corp.
The shipyard cafeteria supplied
the Christmas workers with free
meals.
The idea of Christmas gift for
the boys overseas began with 80
shipfitters at the J. A. Jones Con-
struction Co. shipyards who de-
cided few days ago to work Christ
mas without pay.
Hundreds of others liked the idea,
volunteered to work.
Shortly after midnight the
Christmas Day workers-men and
women, boys and girls-began re-
porting for work. Some came from
as far away as 10 miles.
About 10 per cent of the work
ers on the shift starting at mid
night reported for work, officials
said
