urgent needs in war-devastated

sents the United Lutheran Church,

the State and Baltimore City"
Mr.. Tawes, who has been State
Comptroller since 1888, recalled that:
'In my first race I was elected to
my present office by the largest ma
jority ever given a candidate for a
Statewide office eight years as
the chief fiscal officer of the State
have kept me in touch with all State
departments, commissions and bu-
reaus"
Mr.. Tawes, in his statement, de-
clared that: Because of my intimate
knowledge of what has been done
up to this time, 1 feel I could render
very valuable service to the State
regarding its postwar program, rep
resenting capital expenditures of ap-
proximately 200 million dollars"
Mr.. Tawes promised he would rec
ommend to the legislature chat SER
ious thought be given to amending
the constitution to provide for an
nual budget making"
"Our situation could be helped
considerably if budgets were made
annually instead of every two years."
he added.
Mr.. Tawes was born in Crisfield on
April 8, 1894, and educated in that
city's public schools, after which he
entered the Wilmington Conference
Academy.
After graduation from this insti-
tuition in 1912, he entered a Balti-
more business college, where he
completed banking and account
ancy course. He was then en-
ployed by his father, James B.
/ Tawes, who operated a lumber man
ufacturing concern.
During the first World War, he was
secretary treasurer of the Crisfield
Shipbuilding Co., and in 1920 he
organized the Tawes Banking Co. A
director of many business concerns,
he is member of the Elks, the
Knights of Pythias and a number of
other organizations.
In 1915 he married Miss Helen
Avalynne Gibson, daughter of the
late Oliver P. and May A. Gibson of
Crisfeld. The couple has a son and
a daughter.
In his political career, Mr.. Tawes
served two terms as clerk of the
Somerset County Circuit Court and
in 1888 was elected to his present
post. Four years later he was re-
elected Comptroller without opposi-
ton.

Veterans Workshop
To Open Feb. 10
Speed Up High School Plan
Announced By DR.. Zentmyer.

A Veterans workshop, designed
to shorten the period of time re-
quired for ex-servicemen to finish
incomplete high school courses, will
open at the High School building on
February 18, according to John D.
Zentmyer, high school principal
The veterans will be separated
from the rest of the student body
and in addition will be able to COM
plete the units they require accord
ing to ability, rather than the regu-
lar schedule, which would hold them
down to the pace of the classes in
which they were enrolled. Weak
ness in one subject and strength in
another will be equalized by special
attention in the courses in which
weakness is shown.
Thus far eleven veterans have
been enrolled in the regular high
school program. Three more have
enrolled, to begin studies in the
workshop.
Recognizing a difference in age and
experience between the veteran and
the high school student, Mr.. Gent
myer feels that the present plan of
a separate workshop for the service
men will overcome a definite dis
taste they have shown toward re-
turning to the high school scene.
The majority of the veterans thus
far enrolled are young men in a hur-
ry to make up lost time, complete
their credits, and get to college as
quickly as possible. This urgency,
combined with time and desire to
study, is expected to show excellent
results under the green light of
the Workshop plan

Request Surprises
Museum Director
Works of Art and Cash Willed
To Museum By Lady Unknown
To Museum Officials.

All that DR.. John Richard Craft,
director of Washington County's
Museum of Fine Arts, really knows
about bequest left the museum in
the will of a Baltimore lady who
died last month, is what he reads
in the papers.
But DR.. Craft has some purely
Hypothetical theories on what may
have led to the bequest The will,
filed last week in the Baltimore
Orphans Court, left works of art,
described as valuable" and one
third of an estate estimated at
$38, 100000, to the museum.
The donor, Mrs. Mary Kremel-
berg Gibson, herself an artist, is
unknown to DR.. Craft and, accord
ing to Mrs. William T. Hamilton,
president of the museums board of
directors, Mrs. Gibson had never
been a resident of Hagerstown,
though Mrs. Hamilton had known
her some years ago.
CAS- nearly as my assistant, Miss
Harter, and I can figure out, said
Dr. Craft, Mrs. Gibson may have
been one of a group of Baltimore
women who came to visit the
museum regularly in nice weather.
There are several such groups ana
while we see and talk to them we
seldom know the names of any of
the visitors.
However, I think it is possibly
the work we're doing and a certain
warmth of attitude on the part of
the staff that brings these groups
back to us time after time. So many
museums have little to offer in the
way of personal contact beyond a
few cold and disinterested guards,
that our particular brand of hospi-
tality is probably memorable
Il have absolutely no idea of the
value of the art works, or of the

but the appreciation of the gift by
those who have worked to make
Washington County's museum a
prime example of what the small

Their one regret though, lies in
the fact that this part of their sue

ed in the will of an admirer who
