The clock is beautiful and vel
worth a visit, but we were en-.
tranced by the historical points OF
interest that lie within the grounds
The heights of Fort Lincoln thru
all the years Of our Republic have
been used for defense. The battle
of Bladensburg was fought here
August "a, 1914. Old Civil Wal
earthworks and guns may be seen
near the Lincoln Oak. The duel
ing grounds, where young bloods
of the day came out from Wash
ington to fight at dawn. Among
these were Stephen Decatur and
james Barron. There are rolling
lawns and many gorgeous flower
gardens, and of course the Gem
etery.
We drove up on the heights,
where on Easter morning, 1945, 49,
OC0 persons gathered at sunrise
service. All of Washington city
and the countryside to Baltimore
is commanded from this elevation.
Ii is easy to imagine it's value in
military terms.
Here was fought the battle that
later became famous as "The
Bladensburg Races" Where al
most unframed American Militia
faced experienced English soldiers.
Though they outnumbered the
English greatly, when the battle
became fierce, the militia dropped
their guns and ran away. Some
did not stop until they reached
their hOmes-others were rallied
two days later at Montgomery
Courthouse, as Rockville was then
called, and proceeded to the de-
Tense of Baltimore.
Every Sunday afternoon at 4
o'clock an all request program of
old songs of the church is ampli-
fed through the grounds, as the
Fort Lincoln male quartet sing, in
the Little Church Of Fort Lincoln.

become so limited now in the pres

cessful- again because of lack of

Homemaker Council
Meets In Rockville

The Board of Managers of the
Montgomery County Council of
Homemaker Clubs met with Mrs.
Charles M. Upton, president, at
the Home Demonstration office in
Rockville on November 4th. AL
though the attendance was not as
large as usual, the group accom-
plished a great deal.
Mrs. Upton appointed project
chairmen for the year. Mrs.
Robert Richards is in charge of
the cultural project; Mrs. Henry
Becraft, clothing; Mrs. Sterling
Bowman, publicity and Mrs. Harry
Meem, membership.
Several county goals were set
up. One was to have a study of
Stephen Fosters song in every
cub, with each club learning
twelve of them well. A county
song fest of Stephen Foster music
would climax the study course.
Another goal was to have one
good book review in each club
during the year.
An interest in the health project
is to be continued, with emphasis
on cancer prevention, and a speak,
er at each club during the year.
Another goal is to know more
about Washington, D. c., and to
plan bus tour of historic places
everyone should know about.
A number of "musts" were
passed on to the club presidents:
t. have their membership lists
revised and in the office by January
3lst; to make up their local pro-
gram books by January 1st and to
send a list Of new officers to the

MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS

Walk softly here and pause to
think
The past is not yet dead.
Remember with each cooling drink
The future waits ahead.
In shining hope lift up your heart
For here the two are one
Wish what you will and then
depart,
Believe-and it is done.
These lines by Thomas
Hendricks are inscribed on an an
Gent oak which towers ovel
Hope" Spring at Fort Lincoln at
Bladensburg.
Thursday and Friday of last
week, October 31st and November
1st., were warm days with after
roon temperatures of "a and 85.
Thursday afternoon, sans coat and
hat, we sat on a wooden bench be-
hind the spring house and enjoyed
the shade of the old oak as we
read the lines.
The tree, estimated to be at
least 425 years old, has encom-
passed the spring which it once
merely shaded-and to get a drink
Of the water one now opens
pair of small wooden doors and
reaches way down into the tree
roots to the spring. A tin "dip-
per" on a chain is provided for
those who wish to drink from it's
depths. This we did despite warn
ing cries from hooking bird to
Look Out! Look Outw Remem-
boring that we had survived many
years Of using just such a "dip-
per" at old Emory School, we risk
&c it and drank deeply-despite Mr..
Mocker's warning of possible
germs.
The spring house, built in 1888,
is among the oldest structural
relic of the colonization era when
the Eastern Branch of the
Potomac was a very much more
impressive stream. In those days
ocean-going ships sailed into
Bladensburg which later became
an important harbor where flour,
wheat and tobacco we're loaded for
export.
We had visited the place, now
the site of a large cemetery,
to take a close look at the
huge floral clock just inside
the gate. This clock, said to be
the largest Of it's kind in the
world, is symphony of flaming
color. The face with it's hour
is achieved by the use Of
Thousands Of small living plants
which are kept closely cropped.
The electric mechanism which CON
trolls the Aluminium hands, is con-
cealed by high shrubbery at the
back. The hands stood at 3:45 as
we entered-as did those Of our
watch.

Farmer Fatally Injured
In Fall From Ladder

wilbur SImCOX, 81, residing four
miles southwest of Reinersville, on
Dyes Fork of Meigs Creek, plunged
to his sudden death from the top of
Is foot ladder, last Thursday
afternoon about three o'clock. The
ladder was against the end of
new barn, which he had recently
built, about a mile from his house.
He was engaged in saving an
opening for the operation of rope
and pulley to be used for hoisting
hay into the barn loft.
His "a vera old son, Dale, was
the only other person near the
barn and, IS feet away, was the
first to note the tragic accident.
The cause for his sudden and
fatal precipitation to the ground
may be only surmised as the ladder
remained firm against the barn and
almost intact.
He was the son of Mrs. Nancy
Parks Simcox, 80, who resides
with her son, Ivan, near Center
vile, Morgan county. He was
cousin of v B. Parks of Reiners-
vile and former Noble county
Parks including Cora Boyd of
Caldwell. His father was the late
Lorenza Simcox.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Edna Walker Simcox and two
children, Dale, and the daughter,
Mrs. Ruth Scott, daughter -in-law
of former Noble county resident,
Harold Scott, now Star route mail
carrier. Besides his mother, he is
survived by one sister, Mrs.
Charles (Mary) Sherlock and one
brother, Ivan, both of near Center
vile.
In addition to being a very in
dustrious farmer, Mr.. Simcox was
especially gifted in the use of
woodtools, family characteristic,
and did much construction
Burial was made Sunday after
noon, June %, at o'clock, at
Emery church cemetery, not far
from his late home, services having
been held at that church.
