Will You Share
Your Car On The
Road To Health?

An appeal to car owners to Of
fer to share their vehicles in the
new "road to health" commuta-
ton service to District clinics
was made yesterday by Montgom-
cry County Community Chest and
Council officials in behalf of the
Health Fund.
The plan, drafted by Mrs.
Madge Hahn Longley, Health
Fund Director, would be of i'm
mediate benefit to persons in
need of treatment at Washington
clinics and health stations. Many
are now unable to avail them
selves of the excellent and neces-
sary medical services offered be-
cause of the prohibitive cost of
taxing.
She has arranged to keen a
listing of all car owners willing
to drive clinic patients into
Washington on their way to
work. Most of them, Mrs. Long
ley, feels, will have some way Of
returning.
None of the passengers will be
communicable disease cases, of
course, it was emphasized. Most
are persons going in for routine
treatments for orthopedic condi-
tions, eye trouble and ailments
of that kind. Nor will car-sharing
volunteers be asked to transport
any actually i'll persons.
Community Chest Officials, in
heartfelt sympathy with the SER
vice Mrs. Longley seeks to pro-
vide, have pledged their support.
All who travel to Washington
daily and who would be willing to
undertake this Worthwhile extra"
should call Mrs. Longley at Rock
vile Ala.

Campaign With

regular dish on Montgomery
County tables, if the delighted
comments of two thousand or SO
Democrats who attended the Sill

The affair, which was actually
the beginning of the Democratic
campaign for the November elect

didates, national, state and county,
Most of the guests were from
the 9th and 18th districts, cover
ing Colesville, Hillandale, Burnt
Mills Hills, Burtonsville, Fair

and Kensington. The aim Of the
Silver Spring Women's Demo-
cratic Club was to invite all the
people who had helped the party
during the primary election, par
ticularly the hard working door
bell pushers".
In addition to burgoo, baked
ham, hot dogs, potato salad, corn
on the cob, tomatoes, rolls, pickles,
hot coffee, cold beverages and
dessert were served. It took about
a dozen women two days to make
the quantity of burgoo necessary
TO feed the large crowd which was
present. Burgoo, incidentally, is
a cross between stew and soup
and is made from beef, veal and
chicken, along with carrots, onions
celery, cabbage, tomatoes and
corn. Mrs. Genevieve Wells, q
native of Kentucky, who intro
duced burgoo to Marylanders
several years ago, directed its

Rogers Claims
Republican
Leaders Poor

Wilbur Rogers, self styled an.
dependent Republican" who was
the victim of Il traffic accident in
July, has about recovered from
his injuries, and this week pro-
ceeds to tend to Duncan R. Clark,
who attacked Mr.. Rogers in a re-
lease to the county papers on July
10Th.
According to Mr.. Rogers it all
came about because he (Rogers)
said he would not support any
candidate who ran on two tickets
or "straddled" Referring to sew
eral Republican candidates whose
name appeared on both the "gold
and the white" tickets in the
June Republican primaries. Mr..
Clark was one of those whose
name so appeared, and in his
statement to the press in July, af-
ter explaining his position re-
garding the two tickets-he in no
uncertain terms intimated that
Mr.. Rogers opinion on the mat
ter was not at all important - in
fact Mr.. Rogers himself was not
important.
In dressing down. both Mr..
Clark and George Esworthy-an-
other "straddler' who Mr.. Rogers
thinks betrayed his Republican
friends and co-workers" Mr.. Rog-
ers after consuming more than
two legal sheets of paper, con-
cludes:
Fellow Republicans, rotten
poor leadership has been the bana
of the Republican Party in Mont
Gomeryy County for years. In
1914 the Republican Party scored
a majority of 5000 votes for Dew
ey in the county but it has never
elected a County ticket because
it's local leaders have been SO rot
ten poor. Our so-call'ed leaders
this year are just as rotten poor
as they have been in the past.
We ought to become independent
Republicans and vote for their
Democratic opponents this year
and begin now working for 1850.
Il we did this, it might be pos
sible to put in the field in 1850
a ticket that would be credit
to the Republican Party and to
the County"
Mr.. Rogers assured The Sen.
tinel that he is "still a good Re-
publican" and that he hopes to
reform and strengthen his party
with the help of the Democrats. !"
Mr.. Rogers says he is working
for the defeat of the Republican
ticket in November even though
it may cost the county Second

Our need today is for more

Scarcities the country has
Or Strikes ever known. We
have seen prices
soaring; we have seen black
markets; we are faced with
scarcities and we are not even
assured of an enduring peace.
1t is almost inconceivable to
many of us that a strike of
which we had heard nothing can
have a direct effect on the con-
duct of our business. Yet this
was illustrated last week when
we urgently needed a part for
our newspaper press and in an
swer to our telegram for the
part we were notified that date
of shipment was indefinite due
to strike at the plant. The
plant is located at Battle Creek,
Michigan. We were fortunately
able to make temporary repair.
Another illustration is the re-
moval of an old press which we
sold to make room for some new
equipment. The press was sup

fore the end of August but still
