Italian authorities rushed
motor vehicles to Cisterna and
Passo Pisciaro as the molten
lava was within one CD mile

The fiery flood stream was
900 feet wide and in some val
leys the incandescent mass was
said to have built up to a
depth of 600 feet in some ra-

crossing at the rate of 210
feet an hour and when at A.

Text: Ephesians 5: 8. Ye were
sometimes darkness, but now are
ye light in the Lord: walk as chill
dren of light. A Bible citation
from the lesson-sermon is: Luke
13: 1921. Then said he, Unto what
is the kingdom of God like? and
whereunto shall 1 resemble it? 1t
is like grain of mustard seed,
which a man took, and cast into
his garden; and it grew, and waxed
a great tree; and the fowls of the
air lodged in the branches of it.
And again he said, Whereunto
shall 1 liken the kingdom of God ?
1t is like leaven, which a woman
took and hid in three measures of
meal, till the whole was leavened.
A correlative passage from the
Textbook Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy is: Up. 476). When
speaking of Gods children, not the
children of men, Jesus said, "The
kingdom of God is within you;"
that is, Truth and Love reign in
the real man, showing that man in

ISSUE RULES
TO HUNTERS
Unnecessary Mishaps Take
Toll of Hunters Each Year
In Delaware
URGE GREATER SAFETY

Each year during the hunting
season shot guns and rifles exact
their toll among Delaware sports
men. These mishaps are easily
prevented by the application of
common sense and caution.
The Delaware Safety Council
asks this pertinent question: "Will
you help to make this hunting sea-
son a safe one by observing these
simple rules in handling firearms ?'
1. Never carry an assembled gun
in your car.
2. Always keep the safety catch
on when carrying it in the field,
with the barrel pointed ahead, to-
ward the ground, or to the sky.
8. Know what you are shooting
at-and don't pull the safety catch
until you are ready to take aim.
4. Never assume that a gun isn't
loaded. Be sure, before handling it.
5. If you must cross a fence,
break the breech and hand the gun
over to a companion, or slide it un-
der the fense before climbing
through.
6. When you finish, be sure the
gun is unloaded. Dismantle it, if
possible, or lock it away from the
children.
Remember, it's illegal to hunt
from an automobile in Delaware,
along with practically every other
state, and most states even forbid
hunters to carry loaded guns in
cars. Not only is it unsafe to car
ry loaded guns in car, but it's
against the law as well.
The Delaware Safety Council
urges hunters everywhere to COM
ply with these important measures,
enacted for your security. Hunt
ing is great sport, but many a
trip has ended in tragedy because
the participants failed to observe
the fundamental rules of safety.

Final Date For Vets
Dependents Benefits

February 10th is the dead line
for claiming certain benefits under
the amended Social Security Act.
Mr.. Victor Sadd, manager of the
Social Security Field Office warns
survivors of Veterans of World
War II of the significance of this
date. -
The 1916 amendment to the So
cial Security Act provided month
ly cash benefits for dependents of
ex-servicemen who died or will die,
within three years after discharge,
leaving their survivors without
compensation or pensions from the
Veterans Administration.
survivors, of ex-servicemen who
died before enactment of the
amendment on August 10, 1916,
were given six months in which
to apply for benefits payable back
tc the date of the veterans death.
That six-month period expires Feb
ruary 10, 1947. Unless claim is
filed on or before that date, pay
ment cannot be made retroactive
for more than three months.
Mr.. Sadd pointed out that this
does not apply to the survivors of
men and women who died while in
military service. Detail informal
ton can be secured at the Field
Office, located at 937 F street,

Rotary Members
Mourn Death OF
Paul Harris

Members of more than 5000
Rotary clubs throughout the world
are mourning the death of Paul
Harris, founder of Rotary. name
that was originally chosen because
the clubs rotated their meeting
place. In more recent years, it has
denoted very different meaning :
meaning which has placed the
Rotary clubs in the vanguard of
organizations which are striving
to advance the principles of under
standing, good will and peace, so
that man may live in harmony
with his neighbors. =
Mr.. Harris died January 9TH, in
Chicago, the city where he organ
lied the first Rotary club and
practiced law for many years. He
conceived the idea of Rotary in
1900, when he took a walk with
a friend who visited many stores
and shops to call on proprietors
with whom he was intimate. He
devoted the next few years of his
spare time in reflection on condi-
tons of life in business and re-
solved to organize a club which
would band together a group of
representative business and pro-
fessional men in friendship and
fellowship. Talking it over with
three of his law clients, they de-
cided to organize and the first
meeting was held on February %,
1905. Today, there are 5000 Rotary
clubs in more than 70 countries.
The founder of Rotary spent
some of the early days of his life
in Howard County, where he work
ed on the farm known as the
"Widow Hunt Farm" In Decem-
Der 1884, he addressed the Balti-
more Rotary Club on the subject
Money and Material Things Arc
Not Necessary to Happiness"
Herbert C. Brown, P. G. Strom-
berg, I. H. Taylor, Samuel H.
Captain and the late DIR. Frank o.
Miller, of the Ellicott City club
were present; and upon learning
that Howard County delegation
was there, Mr.. Harris resolved to
visit the county where he had once
lived. AS a guest of the Ellicott
City members, he visited the
Widow Hunt Farm" and "Gray
Rock Farm" both of which places
ne had worked as boy, without
any salary or wages as low as
$1.5O per day. Questioned as to the
feeling of an individual who was
responsible for a great organiza-
ton, he modestly replied, "Chester
Perry Secretary of the club) is
the current, I am merely the
stream"

jured. The Baltimore City Police

while the State, County and local
police departments reported 663 ac-
cidents with Fl deaths and $50 in

The records reveal that 10 less per-
sons were killed during 1916
than during 1945-this is indeed
very gratifying since the national

SECOND PLACE WINNERS
DOUGLAS Cecil


Mr.. P. G. Stromberg played
host on December IL to Mrs. Mol
lie Christie and her 10 ''little an
gels" Of the R.M.H.S. journalism
class at his main office in Ellicott
City. After a brief interview with
"Uncle Buck" the class was shown
the various devices and machines
that together make up a news
paper.
Upstairs they first visited the
linotype machines. The linotype
works on the same order as a
typewriter. AS the operator works
the linotype keys, metal slugs with
letters on them fall into place and
are dipped into hot lead. Then
they are picked up by carriage
which puts them into place in the
copy.
Next, the class saw one of the
newer machines, the Ludlow. This
is machine which casts slugs
from hand-set matrices and is
usually used for display advertiE-
ing or headlines. The operator
most graciously consented to set
up the name of our school in type
but instead of Richard Montgom-
cry High School" he made the
grave mistake of setting "Mont-
gomery County High School," The
class pounced upon him as a
panther upon a lamb.
The students then journeyel
down the stairs to see the press.
1t was Thursday and The Sentinel
was going to press. The Sentinel
with circulation of 1920 is dis
tributed throughout our county. 1t
represents the news and views of
many active reporters in all To-
calities, and contains articles COW
ering many various fielos.
The class emerged from the
printers ink and press full of self
satisfaction and journalistic edu-
cation.
