Fire Races Old
Rockville Home;
HeirlOOms Lost
Volunteer Firemen Fight
$4,000 Blaze And Prevent
Spread OF Flames

Fire destroyed the sold Ander-
son house" at 100 West Montgom-
cry avenue in Rockville on Tues
day, after firemen had fought the
blaze from 10 in the morning until
mid-afternoon. The loss was esti-
mated at well over $4,000. Mr..
and Mrs. Ben Hall apI their two
children who occupied the house
lost everything they possessed but
the clothing they wore at the time.
Mr.. Hall was in the city, Mrs.
Hall attending a demonstration Of
textile painting in Miss Turner's
office and the children at school,
when neighbor saw flames on
the roof and turned in an alarm.
Another neighbor went into the
house and rescued the Halls pet
dog which she knew to be in the
kitchen.
But perhaps the saddest loss
came to Miss Mona Thompson who
had rented the house to the Halls,
storing many relics of the Thomp-
son and Anderson family in the
attic which was the first part of
the three-story frame building to
be burned. Much historical lore
which Miss Thompson had gath
cred was destroyed, also many
papers and professional books of
her step-father the late DR.. Ed
ward Anderson.
Crowds of cars and spectators
thronged the street for hours and
traffic was detoured by the Mont
gomery County police. Miss Mar
garet Fields, one of the grand old
ladies of the town, now well in
her COS, and her sister, Mrs. David
Warfield, who live next door to the
burned house, were loud in their
praise of the work of the Rock
vile and neighboring volunteer
fire departments who kept the fire
from spreading. The Field home
was not even scorched, they re-
ported.

Epidemic
Of
Strikes

SeDLleQ mere at nome Is the cpl
demic of strikes. Wherever
labor is entitled to an increase
such increase should be granted
before permitting the argu-
ment to become a public prob
lem. Where demands are made
which are not in the public in
terest our Government should
have the power and THE
COURAGE to deny such de-
mands. In the same manner
the Government should exercise
the power it already possesses
to permit price rises only where
justified.
Next on our national calendar
is an effort to understand Rus
STA and bring about peace
treaties in the many countries
where a state of confusion exists.
Russia is our big problem in
world relations. She is strong
and her leaders are almost bel
ligerently assertive. She is sus-
picious and probably has some
reasons to be. She is national
istic and finds world co-opera-
tion awkward. She realizes she
is victor nation and is claim
ing more than a fair share of
the spoils. But while condemn
ing Russia we need, in fairness,
take an unbiased view of the
things demanded of Russia. 1t
is perhaps true that to Russia
America does not appear as
completely unselfish as we pic
ture ourselves and that Great
- l-s ts Britain appears
Russia to Russia as
Is Our the one chal-
Big Problem lenger for power
in Europe. For
those reasons and in the inter
est of a permanent peace every
possible effort should be made
to reach a full understanding
with the power which is the only
remaining world power which
can be a challenge to peace for
years-perhaps generations-to
come.
Sharing of the secret of the
atomic bomb seems to be out
temporarily. A new war with
the atomic bomb possessed by
both sides might spell complete
disaster to the world. Should
we make the effort to outlaw
the atomic bomb as a weapon?
Or win realization Of its pos
session by the enemy nation
help maintain peace? These
