Mysterious War Trophy

Rumors of the possession of an
elaborate silver service by the 175th
Infantry of the Maryland National
Guard, which had surrendered to
them by a German Division near
Magdeburg, Germany, in April, 1945,
have been confirmed. The Service
which belonged originally to the
Crown Prince of Germany before
World War is packed in A beauti-
fully lined teakwood boxes and is
complete to serve 500 persons. In
addition to knives, forks, spoons and
the other table pieces there are many
beautiful platters, dishes, candle
sticks, and other table ornaments.
At present the future ownership of
the valuable service is being dis
cussed, as it was officially surrend-
cred to the Maryland unit by the
Germans to prevent it from falling
into the hands of the approaching
Russian armies.

A. Lesley Gardner Again
Heads Wash. County District

At the annual dinner meeting of
the Scouters of Washington County
District, held last week in the din
ing hall of Zion Reformed Church,
A. Lesley Gardner was reelected
chairman. Other officers elected
were: Wilbur NJ. Phillips, vice-chair-
man; and Joseph E. Bearinger, Dis
trict Commissioner. The elected Off
GERS will meet with the Scout EXecu-
tive, B. J. Hagedorn, in the near
future, to select the chairmen of the
various District committees.
During the meeting four Wash
ington County Scuots who attained
the rank of Eagle Scout during 1945
were introduced. The four are: c.
Merritt Campbell, Jr., and Douglas
Minis, of Troop 2, sponsored by St.
Pauls Ev. U. B. Church, Howard F.
Johnston, Scoutmaster; Robert Sagle,
Troop 4, sponsored by st. Paurs
Methodist Church, o. ]. Smith, act
ing Scoutmaster; and Robert Rey-
nolds, Troop %, sponsored by the
Funkstown Lutheran Church, Clyde
L. Bailey, Scoutmaster.
The feature of the meeting was an
inspiring address by DR., Vernon B.
Kellett, headmaster of ST. James
School, who spoke on Men Who
Care" DIR. Kellett based his adj
dress on the three chiefs of King
David who risked their lives to bring
their king water from the well of
Bethlehem, as related in the 18th,
10Th and 18th verses of the 23rd
chapter of the second book of
Samuel.
Pointing out that these were men
who cared, the speaker told his audi
ence that the success of Scouting de-
pended on men who cared - men
who cared enough to give of their
time and energies to make the Scout
ing program the success that it is
today.
The interesting program was
brought to a close by three boys
from the Cub Pack, Scout Troop
and Troop Ship that are sponsored
by Zion Reformed Church, each boy
repeating the Oath of his Unit. Har-
old H. Hoffman is Cubmaster of the
Pack and Wilfred F. Schilling is
Scoutmaster of the Scout Troop and
Scout Ship.

Super Fire Fighting Service

A British war bride in Centerville
found that living next to a fire house
has its advantages. When the handle
of her gas range came off in her
hand as she was lighting the gas and
the stove became a mass of flames,
her husband had only to run down
stairs in order to turn in an alarm.
Firemen quickly extinguished the
blaze.

More Sugar In 1947

Americans may get more pounds
of sugar in 1947 than they have in
1916, James Fl. Marshall, director of
the sugar branch of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, has stated.
Each person received Is pounds and
a 10 pound canning allowance, MAX
ing total of IS for the entire year
of 1916. An added S pounds would
mean 80 pounds per person for next
year.
