John HOskins
Princeton Hero
Gets Promotion

John M. Hoskins, Brookeville,
was one of thirty whose promo
ton to Rear Admiral was recently
authorized by President Truman.
These thirty were chosen as the
most outstanding among the
Nays top-ranking 500 captains.
Admiral Hoskins, who had been
scheduled to take over the COM
mand of the aircraft carrier
Princeton, was on board when
she was struck by a torpedo and
sunk. He lost his right foot when
the stern of the ship was shot
completely away, compelling the
crew to abandon the ship.
While the new Princeton,
fifth of the name, was being built,
Admiral Hoskins recovered from
MS injuries and learned to use hii
artificial foot, and became skipper
Of the Princeton V when it
was co mmissioned in November
1915.
AS executive officer of the
carrier, Ranger, he had parti-
cipated in the allied invasion Of
Africa. He was chief Of staff TO
the commander Of the air fleet at
Quonsett Point, r. /. when he
was ordered to the Pacific in Sep
TENDER 1914.
Born and reared in Pineville,
KY, Admiral Hoskins entered the
Naval Academy at Annapolis in
1917, started flying in 1925. Dur
ing World War / he was assigned
as midshipman to patrol the coast
during the submarine scare.
With his wife, the former Sue
Dorsey Waters, two sons and a
daughter, Admiral Hoskins lives
in the quaint old Iddings house in
Brookeville when not at sea. He
is not expected to get home for
Christmas.

Two Birthday
Dances Planned
For County

Montgomery County March nj
Dimes Chairman, Alfred C. Paul.
has stated that two dances are
being planned for the county on
February LIST. One will be the an
nual ball, held this year as usual
in the Silver Spring Armory, while
the other will be held in the Be
thesda-C Chevy Chase area, perhaps
at Kenwood Country Club. Use of
the armory for this purpose has
been authorized by Capt. Charles
Peters, commander Of the Service
Company of the Maryland Nation
81 Guard.
Commenting on the dispute
which ended the dances held for
so many years in the Washington
hotels, Mr.. Paul stated, mont
gomery County residents find
keenest pleasure in the company
of their own neighbors. We have
never found it necessary to import
movie talent or any other innova-
ton to insure an enjoyable eve
ming. Requests for assistance in
cases of children suffering from
infantile paralysis have been ex-
tremely heavy, and it is necessary
to raise money from every possible
source. The slogan of prior cam
paigns, Dance that others may
walk is appropriate and meaning
full. Montgomery County will con-
tinue it's March of Dimes dances"
The drive for funds will begin
in Montgomery County on Janu-
airy 18th, although it will not be-
gin on a national scale until the
following Monday, January 18th.
The extended drive is necessary
locally due to the fact that more
than $4,000 was spent during the
past year by the Council for the
relief of victims and sufferers
from infantile paralysis.
AS has been the custom for eight
years, the Montgomery County
Council of the American Legion
is sponsoring the drive.

1000 Dozen
Cookies Made
BY HOmemakers

On Friday and Saturday, De-
cember 20 and 81, Miss Edythe M.
Turner, H ONE Demonstration
Agent, made the rounds of Mont
gomery County to pick up the
cookies the Council of Homemak,
ere Clubs had planned as its
Christmas greeting to the boys in
the Naval Hospital at Bestheda. All
"a Homemaker Clubs made cookies.
There were to be 600 dozen but as
each clubs cookie chairman hand
ed her clubs contribution to Miss
Turner, she would say, Everyone
put in a dozen or so extra in
their box" SO an estimated 1000
dozen crisp, delicious, home made
cookies were delivered to the hos
pital.
Miss Turner had 600 dozen
cookies in her car Friday by the
time she reached Damascus, so she
came back to the office and picekl
up the great load that was await
ing her there. The car was then
so full that she went directly to
the hospital where the Gray Ladies
had some of the boys unload the
car. These corpsmen were pleased
and grateful for this evidence of
the rural homemakers desire to
make, share and send this symbol
Ct their affection and interest to
the wounded men.
On Saturday the car was agah
full and the corpsmen said, "What,
more of those grand cookies we
all had last nightp The Gray
Ladies had a real task opening
and sending all the cookies out to
every boy in the hospital.
The cookies were very choice,
crisp and attractive. Many home
makers had wrapped their Srxes
in lovely Christmas paper. Mrs
Charles M. Upton and Miss Turn
er wish to extend their apprecia-
ton to the many homemakers for
their fine response on the cookie
project. 1t meant a real sharing
OF that scarce commodity, the fam
lily sugar, for there was no spocsei
grant of sugar from the ration
board for this purpose. These cook
iee were real gift.
Stories keep coming into the
Home Demonstration Office of the
pleasure many homemakers had in
working in groups on the cookie
project. Six and seven women in
some places got together and made
60 or 10 dozen cookies in an eve
ing. One club made 83 dozen. Then
there were two people who read
Of the project in the newspaper
and each delivered a nice large
batch to Miss Turner's office.

Brooke Memorial
Read At Meeting

A memorial to Tarlton Brooke,
prepared by Clarence B. Hurley
was read at the December 18th
meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Savings Institution of
Sandy Spring. Mr.. Brooke had
been a director Of the bank from
December 1920 until his death on
election day.
In part, the memorial read,
Usually one of the last to ex-
press himself on questions under
discussion at Board Meeting, his
conclusions when given were i'm
variably sound and convincing. He
never hesitated to take minority
position when he believed the mai
ority view to be in error. His
wide knowledge of real estate
values and his keen judgment of
men will be greatly missed.
100 independent of mind and
temperament to be a partisan in
politics, he nevertheless was
strong in his support of every
movement that he believed to be
in the interest of better govern
ment. He distrusted machine rule
whether in local or national af-
fairs and was outspoken in con-
demnation of its waste and inef-
ficiency. No one worked more
earnestly for the proposed Charter
Plan or contributed more to the
result achieved at the recent cleo
ton than Tarlton Brooke. Unfor-
tunately he passed away on the
very eve Of a victory that would
have gladdened his heart"
The memorial concluded with
Grace Noll Crowell's poem, my
Friend"

>shat Mr.. Parklns who had received
salary of $75 from the defense
fund for work connected with the
training of Minute Men, had been
transferred to the police payroll
after the defense fund was discon-
t:nued. The commissioners ordered
the discontinuance of his salary as
of January 1, 1947.
In turn the board considered
the salary to be paid Mr.. Orme. At
the time of his appointment it had
been set at "the same paid his
predecessor" According to F. Bar
nard Welsh, attorney to the board,
under the law the chief Of police
is entitled to only $4,000 yearly
and does not receive the $500
clothes allowance of members of
the police force, although it was
alleged that Mr.. Carlin had re-
ceived it. Mr.. Orme is to have a
county telephone installed in his
home, by order of the commission
ers, that he may be in constant
touch with all parts of the county
day or night.
Board, "sitters" and the press
opened their eyes when I. G. Nc
Nayr, county supervisor, reported
that Mrs. Edith F. Allnutt, former
deputy clerk to the commissioners,
in charge of coming applications,
had received "from $1,000 to
$4,000" in fees, in addition to her
salary of $4,000. 1t was disclosed
that she received $40 for each APP
plication. There were also notary
fees.
Mr.. McNayr told the board
there is something wrong when
an employee is paid salary for
a certain job and also receives
salary for another job"
j. Ernest Hawkins, clerk to the
commissioners, who has taken over
the coming duties, made 1t clear
that he wants a set salary, not
one dependent upon fees, for the
extra work entailed by the coming
applications. Decision upon the
amount that he is to receive was
reserved at his request. At the
time of his appointment his salary
was set at $4,000.
Brooks Johns, president of the
board, said he is opposed to the
fec system, but thinks county en-
ployees should be paid an ample
salary for their duties. Mr.. Johns,
who was receiving congratulations
upon his birthday anniversary, (he
laughingly said he was going into
his second century, was handed an
appointment as a member of the
Welfare Board, at no additional
salary.
The commissioners received an
invitation to the annual meeting
of the County Farm Bureau and
indicated that as many as could
do so would attend.

WASHINGTON, Sept 10. = Un- derseeretety cf~ State aHtnsam l., Clayton said today that Yugoslavia has tentatively agreed to the prin- ciple of paying an indemnity for the loss of five American lives in the forced crashes of two American planes last month.
 Yugoslavia officials, in prelim- mary conversations with U. s. Am- bassador Richard c. Patterson, have raised a question as to whether they should pay also for the loss of the planes, Clayton told news conference.
 The Undersecretary-- charge at tie State Department in the absence of Secretary Byrnes and Undersecretary Dean Acheson-said no conclusive agreement has been reached with Marshal Tito's regime on the separations matter.
 All that the State Department has received from Patterson thus lar, he said, has been the first Yu- goslav reaction to the Ambassadors preliminary presentation of the is- sue

BUTCHER SHOPS IN MOST CITIES NOW RUNNING OUT, MEAT
Packing Houses Lay Off Workers-0PA CeiI-
 ing Again On
(EY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

Butcher shops in most cities were running out of meat today, as OPA ceilings went on again.
 Weekend buying sprees, in an- ticipation of short supplies, had left shops in most cities with little except poultry, smoked meats and cold cuts. Sharply reduced re- ceipts of livestock at packing cen- ters gave no hope for immediate relief
 Retail shops were closing for lack of business, and packing houses were laying off workers.
 A Chicago retailers spokesman estimated HOO of the city's 1000 retail markets would be closed by the end of the week In New York City, 90 percent of the dealers had no meat of any kind.
 Livestock receipts over the na- ton now are reported running from eight to 50 percent of normal. AL most 5000 packinghouse workers have been laid off at Omaha alone and the United States Employment Service said many were applying for different jobs.
