MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
By ELSIE WHITE HAINES

ffn AUAOAN - ~ ~ AtA.@AAO !
By ELSIE "
To continue with the story Of
Washington Grove, we shall let Mr.
Milburn continue his "reminiscences
for a bit:
"For a number of years the
Camp Meeting was largely at
tended, and the enthusiasm un'
abated. Crowds came from the
country round about. The woods
were full of horses, carriages anc
wagons. The railroad ran excur.
sion trains from Washington and
from local stations up and down
the road on Sundays and special
days. Hagerstown and Frederick
were largely represented. On SUM-
days it was estimated that as high
as 10000 people were on the
grounds. In the years when a po-
litical campaign was on, crowds OF
politicians came to meet the voters,
and the mound of rocks lying be-
tween Fifth and Sixth Avenue be-
came the meeting place of polit-
ical workers. 1t soon gained the
name Of Political Hip, and / was
told by a prominent Montgomery
Countian that more good work was
done here during the season than
anywhere else" Zone can still see
some of these stones and the in
dication of a mound" near the
Muir honey
Mr.. Milburn in his story tells
how the Circle was crowded with
people who promenaded between
services to their hearts content.
The writer remembers the great
crowds in the early 1900's many of
whom went solely for the prom
enading. To show how far from
religion was their thought, the
young blades of the day walked
around with their buggy whips in
their hands! Each young man tried
to have the better whip, sometimes
gaily decorated with ribbon bows.
Ii he forgot and left the whip in
the buggy whip socket, it was apt
to be missing when he returned;
whereupon he reached for the
nearest whip he could find and ap-
propriated it! Crowds also gath
cred around the pump and twas
said at times stronger brew was
washed down with the water and
that many pious lady sang the
louder as her husbands voice grew
'raucous. All of these things con-
tributed eventually to the ending
of the Camp Meeting. i' r.
In the early days before such
mobs of outsiders came the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
granted a rebate on all excursion
tickets. This was handed over to
the Grove Association. Later when
the permanent homes were built,
the Railroad shipped free all
building materials and granted a
pass to each family.
The founders Of the modest lit
tie community, which still turns
its back to the world, had no idea
OF establishing anything but a
periodical tent village. 1t is in
teresting to trace its development
into a summer resort and later to
permanent homes.
We again quote from Mr.. Mil
burns "reminiscences:
at was soon found that Wash
ington Grove was healthful place
in which to spend the hot days of
summer. At first families came a
week or two before Camp and re-
manned while after the Camp
closed. Tents were found to be in
convenient for these protracted
stays.
"Major Thomas P. Morgan erec-
ted the first wooden tent on the
Circle, covering it with canvas
which was painted with waterproof
paint. But it was found that this
roof was not waterproof. After
the first seasnn IL leaked like a

AMONG THE
HOMEMAKERS

October has been almost too busy
for the Agent to keep up with, al
special schools, tours and annual
meetings and community tours has
called for several news letters
time for organization and time fol
these special meetings.
HOMEWORK No. 1
The Homewood Club No. 1 hat
an upholstery school at the home
Of Mrs. Smell, where the member.

ings this month. The members OF
the second club recently organized
came to help and learn also. The
evenings were most enjoyable, club
members are quick to learn and
ready to help each other. The
Agent had a chance to know these
new members better than she coulc
have in a years contact in meet.
ings.
HOMEWORK No. 2
The Homewood Club No. 2 met
at Mrs. Vance's home to discuss
how to refinish and care for floors,
AS most of the homes of the "a
members at the meeting were built
about the same time by the same
contractor, the problems were all
similar. The agent secured the help
Of C. o. Mohler, of the Rockville
Paint and Hardware Company. Mr..
Mohler led the discussion using
charts and samples of floor fin
ishes to bring out the points in
good and poor finishes for floors.
He gave definite suggestions as
how and why certain finishes could
be used. These members to a large
extent with help of their husbands
plan to follow through with his
advice. He also helped them with
the problems of wall finishes for
their type of home. One thing
about these new club members,
they do take notes for future ref
erence. ~ a3fe ~ s'fssifsefr
A TRIBUTE TO "TIP" ~ =
Mrs. Charles M. Upton, who has
been most effective president fol-
the Homemakers Council the past
two years, regretfully gave UP her
gavel to the new president, Mrs.
Howard Smith, of the Four Cor
ners Club, at the annual meeting
on Friday. Mrs. Upton has accom-
plished great deal for the Home
makers Clubs. She has knit the
group together as never before by
holding monthly meeting of pres
idents. Here the problems of the
clubs could be discussed and met.
All the Social Agencies in the
county have been asked to tell the
group what their purpose and
function was and the presidents
have carried the information back
to the 26 clubs with their enroll
ment of nearly 800. ~
The clubs have widened their
community work and the oppor-
tunities for service far beyond
past years.
Two countrywide Health Prof.
ects have been given support and
been initiated by the clubs under
her leadership. The successful

Mrs. Upton. She carries on all she
undertakes with courage, SINGER

that stimulates all to cooperate.
She will be on Mrs. Howard

Council members all express their
affection and appreciation to her
for the service she has given SO
happily and generously.

Star Correspondent

CURR1E, March 24-Folks in
the Kelly section of Bladen county
are feeling just fine on the crop
subject for the coming year-Rea-
son?-WeI, just come one and all
and see for yourselves the beauti-
fully and substantially repaired
dam to hold back the Cape Fear
high waters in time of need. 1t
is a fine piece of workmanship
and one not only Bladen should
be proud of but N. c. as well.

Wilmington concerning
Bladen County, we Bladenites, es-
pecially those living in the direct
Kelly section, clapped Il hands
when the rich soil Of that section
was the corn land of, wen-let me
add-Egypt.
Now. as my territory covers
both lower Bladen and Fender
counties, lets drop down six miles
from the Kelly section to the IA
NOUS Lyon Swamp farming lands
in both Bladen and Fender. We
farmers in Lyon Swamp are not
so sure of a crop this year as
the White Oak ones are. Why?-

FILING OF FIRE
CLAIMS ADVISED
Insurance Company Should
Be Informed OF Losses,
VA Of-icia4 Says

World War IL veterans in South
eastern North Carolina whose
homes purchased by G. 1. loans
are destroyed by fire or tornado
should Immediately file claim OF
loss with their insurance COM
pany, and then consult with their
lender as to the best steps to
follow. Robert S. Matthews, Jr.,
Contact Representative in charge
Of Wilmington VA Office, 125 Gus
tomhouse advised today.
Where homes are destroyed by
fire. flood or tornado, Matthews
said, the lender usually has the
option Of applying the proceeds
from the insurance, which the vet
eran is required to carry, to the
indebtedness on the building or
releasing the funds to restore the
property.
Should the lender insist that the
funds be used for full payment
of the debt, the veteran will
lose his guaranty for the loan. the
VA official explained, adding that
once the guaranty is used it a
not be restored.
"However," Matthews a d,
TENDERS will in most cases be
quite willing to release the funds
received under policies covering
payment of insured losses to be
applied to the restoration OF the
home. -.
This latter procedure is most
advantageous to the veteran. for
his home will be restored and the
guaranty on his loan fully preserv'
ed"

BETWEEN THE RIVERS
Bladen Residents Proud
NRepaired Kelly Dam

Because Lyon Swamp canal needs
to be cut deeper, a thorough
cleaning out job administered and
made much wider.
Thirty FIVE odd years ago when
this canal was first cut it drained
the land well and owners of the
swamp went to work to clearing
and cutting lateral bitches. Then
the planting Of corn by sticks
after all was burned off was done.
Result-a fine crop of orn with
out a pillow, hoe Or any 'cultiva-
ton whatsoever. But as time
passed, trees were allowed to be
cut and fall into the ditch, not
much cleaning out of any OBJ
stacles was done. Of course the
ditch filled partly up. Then the
flood waters washed rubbish this
way that were not needed. So goes
the story.
Last year the second crop was
lost in Lyon Swamp fields. Not
from Cape Fear waters, either,
but from rain water that filled
and clogged up the canal which
had no way of carrying off this
excess of rain water-Result-Not
any crop made. And we folks bad
ly feel the sting of this.
Some claim that their fields are
not much or any affected by Wa
ter. But a close observation will
prove that all this swamp land is
affected in high or rain water
backed. We SO want the canal
cleaned, out, cut deeper, wider
and our abandoned fields that
once were called The Egypt Store
Houses, back again. This project
is being considered and much in
terest by most land owners is
manifested.
This section in between the
rivers, if given the proper show
ing would develop into n the
most ideal sections, for not only
farming but a real paradise for
lovers of outdoor sport such as
hunting, fishing-Which has a SUBJ
stantial proof by what really
would be done by the many club
houses dotting the river shores
here and there.
New houses already are going
up along the highway with the
hope of a better future in not only
in the production of cor but new
industries. Vineyards, BURBERRY
farms, peach orchard and truck
ing crops-Others may seek loca-
tons with beautiful mountain Or
ocean front where the salt sprays
sweep over them as they take
their peaceful slumbers.
But give me the home of my
birth-in between the rivers-in
between old CoIy swamp and the
cleared fields of old Lyon-where
the sandhills rise almost to a
tiny mountain height, dropping off
into one of the bays where the me.
teorites that dropped from above
thousands of years ago left dotted
