THE SENTINEL, like all news
papers, asks that everyone who
sends letters and news items for
publication sign his name to the
communication, not necessarily for
publication, but as a matter of
good faith.
Several weeks ago this paper re-
ceived letter signed "A Sailor On
Leave and it is only because it is
from serviceman that we are Civ
ing space to his complaint instead
of committing it to the waste bas-
ket as is the custom with an anony-
nous Letter.
1t seems that this sailor, on 80
days leave, went to the Office of
the Clerk of Court for a fishing
license which is issued to service
men free Of charge. He was dress
ed in dungarees and was informed
by a clerk that she could issue
free hunting or fishing licenses
only to men in uniform, refusing to
accept his Id. card and leave
papers as proof that he was in the
Navy. He finally paid $3.50 for a
license rather than go. back home
and get his uniform.
Knowing that Clayton X. Wat
kins, Clerk of Court, has an en-
viable reputation for fairness and
straight thinking, and having two
sons in the service, is sympathetic
to servicemen, Sentinel repre-
sentative inquired of him why the
Id. card was not accepted as proof
that the young man was in the

Pentalpha Chapter
Holds Annual Picnic

Mrs. Jane Howes, Worthy Ma

iron entertained the Chapter MEM
bers and friends on Saturday even
ing in their annual picnic. Tables
laden with food to suit the Epicu-
rean Taste were arranged on the
front porch at the home of the
Worthy Patron near Cedar Grove
and those who braved the inclement
weather TO be present felt amply
repaid. Not until even the late
corners were fully satisfied did the
down pour of rain cause the guests
to seek shelter indoors but don't
think for a minute they didn't
finish that last morsel of delicious
fried chicken and country ham

Judge DeLashmutt Is
ROckyille's Weatherman

Judge Donald A. DeLashmutt,
has long been keeper of temper
aturesp as hobby hut this sum
mer, unable to work in his garden
he started measuring the rainfall,
Here isxhis record for July.
Measured in a bucket that was
two inches larger in diameter at
the top than Rt the bottom.
For the month total of 26.75
inches. The greatest fall was the
evening of July 5th when 5.5 inch
es fell in / hour and fifty minutes.
While the figure 26.75 inches is
greater than the actual fall yet
certainly we had at least II inches
of rain in July figuring conserva-
lively. The bucket measured 101s
inches in diameter across the top
and 81a inches across the bottom.
Those automatically inclined may
work this out to see just the actual
amount of fall.
Certainly this probably breaks
all records for any month of the
year for Rockville.
Other parts of the County did
not have this much rain fall for
example the evening of July 5th
the lower end of the County had
very little of that storm, not hard
ly enough even to flood the under
pass at Silver SPRING"

The young people attending the
Washington Grove Gaithersburg

Miss Carol Hughes was elected
Miss Washington Grove, and Miss
Patty Lynch was elected Miss Cal
thersburg. These young ladies
will serve as hostesses on the two
final family nights" in the Audit
orium.
Installation of the newly elected
Junior Council will take place this
evening in the auditorium and will
be preceded by a parade which
will include everything from fire
trucks to bicycles and ponies. An
outstanding feature of the parade
will be Betsy" that faithful old
trailer belonging to the Rev. Royal
! A. Rice, which has been used for
two years to haul children swim
ming and on other expeditions.

William McBain of Gaithersburg
and MayorsIrvin McCathran of

A s WAS the case with the
European war there is much
speculation today as to the prob
able ending of the Japanese
War. Factually we have illus
trations of the tremendous might
the United States has gathered
in the Pacific. We have the
communiques from Naval and
Army leaders which indicate
that Japan is

bombing campaign has not been
Of such long duration but it has

SO regularly with larger bomb
ers that the little territory is
becoming nearly saturated. Then
we have the Russian problem
again. Just what will Uncle
Joe Stain do? Does he plan to
enter the war in its final phase
SO that the USSR will have a
say in peace making or will Rus
STA merely stand by until the
end? We have the Berlin Con-
ference of The Big Three from
which we have received nothing
in the way of actual plans. Per-
haps the pattern for the final
phases of the war with japan is
being decided with Russia TAX
ing an active art. Perhaps
further plan for Japan's capitu-
lation is being worked out. So
many things enter into efforts at
analysis that any statement or
argument might easily be re-
futed.
At least we know that we
have been alberto give to Japan

civilians to evscuate. From the
lack of air and naval opposition
it seems definite that we have all
but eliminated both the Japa-
nese Navy and her air force.
Much territory gained by Japan
in the early days of her war
against Great Britain and us
still remains in her hands but we
have gained so much in the way
of naval and air superiority that
the band of steel is tightening
each day. Her shipping is as
essential to Japan as shipping
is the lifeline of the British

cut. Her people are already
denied many Of the essentials of
life. Raw materials essential to
her war production can no long

sufficient to meet wars demands.

realize. A Study of the map in
