Between babies and publishing a
weekly newspaper, Mrs. Mildred A.
Hamrick, Al, has her hands full.
The Lanham, (Md), housewife is
the mother of five children. She also
edits the Lanham Rambler, Prince
Georges County's youngest commun-
ity newspaper. Her youngest child,
WAYNE, was born the morning after
the Rambler went to press II weeks
ago.
Mrs. Hamrick, the editor, finds
time to bake biscuits twice day"
talk over the telephone at all hours
of the day and night, and promote
community projects.
Founded Baby Clinic.
She once thought it would be a
good idea TO have a baby clinic in
Lanham. The result was establish
ment of the Lanham Baby Clinic
four years ago, now operated by the
Ladies' Auxiliary of the community S
American Legion post.
Another Hamrick idea, envisioning
war memorial for Lanham, re-
suited in incorporation of the Lam
ham War Memorial Committee to
erect a community center in tribute
to those who lost their lives In the
war. A 2-acre site on the Lanham
Severn road already has been pur-
chased for the purpose.
I'm definitely against stone
monuments of any kind as wal
memorials" she said. What good
does stone do the dead? Why not
do something useful-ike setting up
a community center or dedicatine
a hospital wing to our dead heroes?
Started As Contributor.
Mrs. Hamrick got her start in the
newspaper business less than three
years ago when she began contribut-
! ing to the old Bowie Register, then
the principal weekly paper covering
the Lanham area.
When Mrs. Hamrick left that
paper in favor of the Laurel News
Leader, residents of the community
urged her to publish her own
paper-in tabloid form instead OF
"city-size." Thus was born the Lam
ham 80" last June 81. Three issues
later, after a contest among readers,
the name Rambler" was added.
The Rambler, four and some
times six-page publication, goes to
press every Thursday in Hyattsville
and is put in the mail the follow
ing day. In its first year, circu-
lation stands at 500 subscribers.
Last November, George Shepp
manager of the Hyattsville Theater
became co-publisher with Mrs
Hamrick. He now borc 80
the business end of the paper, with
Herbert A. Allen also of Hyatts-
Vile doing the printing.

TRIPOLI, Tripolitania, July T.
After four years OF living a. hand

representatives Is expected to come
here within the next few months to

peace treaty, the United States
Great Britain, France and Russia
must get together within one year
after final ratification and decide
how to split up Mussolini's old Afri-
can empire. The split will include
