Hollywood Park subdivision hear
Colesville, told Baltimore police
yesterday that two men, whom he
had picked up while driving through
! Aberdeen about 7 pm. Friday had
kidnapped him.
Before setting him free, Mr.
Tumulty reported, the kidnapers

armed holdup which one of the
two kidnapers staged while the other
held Mr.. Tumulty captive, the sales
man said.

captors as "six-footer with a long

Right now, Savage has one school

Montgomery Appeal
For Gifts Is Issued
By Holiday Exchange

Mrs. Edwina Ricketts,, executive
secretary Of the Montgomery County
Holiday Exchange, yesterday ap-
pealed to county residents to make
Christmas happy for the less for
tunate by contributing gifts, toys,
clothing, food and money to the
exchange.
The organization, of which Mrs
B. Peyton Whalen is chairman,
serves as a clearing house for all
health and welfare agencies in the
county in an attempt to distribute
Christmas gifts to as many people
as possible.
Prospective donors were asked by
Mrs. Ricketts, to call her at Rock
vile 2121 or write to her office in
the Rockville Courthouse.
Formed u years ago, the Holiday
Exchange each year drafts a list
Of Christmas "opportunities" as a
guide for individuals and organiza-
!: tions wishing to contribute. The
names of those to receive the aid
are not disclosed.
Funds Go Directly to Needy.
All costs of operation are borne
by the Community Chest agency and
all money donated goes directly to
those in need, Mrs. Ricketts, en-
phasized. She added there are many
more in need this year than in 1916
because of the reduction in public
assistance funds.
3. Among this years Christmas "op-
portunities" Is a 45-year-old blind
man whose only income is small
grant from the Welfare Depart
ment. Mrs. Ricketts, said the man
lives alone and the grant Is too
small even to provide proper food.
Another case is that Of family
with nine children. The husbands S
income, according to Mrs. Ricketts,
Is so small that the children are
undernourished In the case OF
another family with nine children
the husbands income is only $40 a
week, she said.
A fourth opportunity consists OF
a man who is 81 years old and his
wife, Y. Both are bedridden, Mrs
Ricketts, said, and their only as
Sistance comes from a daughter
who can't provide adequate aid.
A fifth case is that OF 7O-year-
old man who cares for his 36-year-
old feeble minded son in one room
They need food and clothing, Mrs
Ricketts, said
She said gifts have been promised
for about $50 foster home children
and needy adults but the Holiday
Exchange still has about $50 addi-
tional needy cases, including many
teen-age children and three men
in tuberculosis sanatoria.
Many of the teen-age children
she stated, need clothing, books
athletic equipment and games. She
added that welfare funds allocated
to needy adults are so small there
is never enough incidentals, such
as hair cuts, shoe repairs, news
papers, books or entertainment.
There will be no Christmas for
these children and adults" Mrs
Ricketts, said unless they are
helped through the Holiday Ex-
change"

SAVAGE Md, Dec. 6. - Faced
with prospects of a gloomy Christ
mas this year, approximately 1000
residents of this small unincor-
porated village are eagerly awaiting
the day when they may be working
for Santa Claus or one of his
helpers.
That day may come next year,
and the town, located just off the
w IN ngton-Baltimore boulevard
about Is miles from the District,
may be the scene of the biggest
Christmas show in America.
At least those are the promises of
a Baltimore manufacturer of Christ
mas tree decorations, who currently
is negotiating for the purchase of
the town.
Word that Harry Helm, a Balti-
more businessman, was attempting
to buy the community and that it
will be converted into Christmas
land has brought new hope to the
towns populace.
Towns Industry Closed.
Disillusioned last August when
owners of q cotton mill, the COM
munity's only industry, decided to
close it after nearly 200 years of
operation, the residents expressed
grave concern as to their future
For most of them, the cotton mill
had been their livelihood. What's
more, the mill owned about half of
the homes in Savage and also fur
nished utilities for them.
Attempting to fulfill a boyhood
dream, Mr.. Helm envisions Savage
not as it is today but as Christmas
community brought to life.
That's why he's purchasing the
mill and the rest of the town. Even
tually, he has plans for manufac-
turing Christmas tree ornaments in
the mill and for establishing the
community as the christmas capi-
tai of the world"
Plans Christmas Castle.
Part of the purchased land will
include 135-acre site on the boule-
ward, about three miles north of
Laurel.
"In this tract, I'll build big
Christmas castle right in the center,
cutting down what trees are neces-
sary," Mr.. Helm told the Associated
Press. I'll erect scenes depicting
nursery rhymes with life-sized fig
ures. The trees will be trimmed and
lighted.
"I'll cut roads in an out so that
people can drive right through and
maybe there'll even be a miniature
railroad to carry the children. For
about six weeks every year it will be
Christmas time"
How does the town feel about
these plans?
William B. Reeley, vice president
of the Savage Manufacturing Co.,
operators of the mill, and manager
of it for the past II years, declared
the day won't come too soon for citi-
zens of Savage.
People Depressed.
After working with the company
most of their lives, the people are
very depressed at the present time, ?"
he explained. They never realized
that such thing could happen, that
all they've ever had could be taken
away from them, especially after
going through years of depressions
and wars
Naturally, they're very concerned

SMALL BOAT BOOM

An urge to get off dry land
is becoming, to hundreds of
thousands of Americans, ire
sistible.
It's clear a growing minori-
ty of the populace wants to
head for the waterways. They
are willing to spend money on
boats: Aluminium ones, glass
ones, magnesium ones and also
old-fashioned wooden ones.
This sentiment is keeping
hundreds of boat builders
busy, as we'll as makers of mo-
tors and boat equipment. The
small boat industry is still pre-
dominantly handicraft, with
yards tucked up creeks, coves
and lakes over most of the ma
ton. But traces of mass pro-
duction are appearing.
The Alumacraft Boat Co.,
has switched to stamping out
14-foot aluminium cupboard
motor craft. Having produced
$500 of them in 1916, it found
itself at the start of this year
with a backlog of 10000 or
ders.

G.. Youth Gives
Germans Novel
Farming Lesson

Deep in the heart Of occupied
Germany thriving sample of In
diana agriculture provides novel
lesson in American farming meth
DDS for people Of the war-ravaged
country. A Midwest home demon
stration agent and a CT. youth on
occupation duty pooled their efforts
and ideas to show nearly 100 Ger
man youths how to be good farmers
while augmenting their meager diet
by using vegetables grown by them
selves.
Pfc.> Birch Bayh Jr. of Vigo
county, Indiana, is the American
soldier and Miss Mildred Schlosser is
the home demonstration agent who
are responsible for the project.
Bayh, 19-year-old Hoosier farmer,
qualities as an able instructor by
virtue of his past record. Two years
ago, as a contestant in the annual
production marketing contest of
National Junior Vegetable Growers
association, Bayh was tilling a
seven-acre plot on his grandfather S
farm, where he raised crops worth
more than $1,677. The crops were
so good, Bayh sent special batch
to his father, 1t. Col. Birch Bayh Of
the U. S. army, then stationed in
China.
In the national contest, Bayh's
efficient operation rated so high he
won the Midwest regional NJVGA
title and a 5000 scholarship from
the $4,000 in contest awards pro-
vided annually by A & P food
stores. Using this fund to augment
his savings, Bayh entered Purdue
university where his studies were
interrupted by a cali to army duty.
Later he was assigned to the Ger
man occupation forces.
Impressed by the soil near his
station in that country, and encour-
aged by seeds sent as a gift to him
by Miss Schlosser, home demon
stration agent and NJVGA advisor
Of his Indiana club, Bayh quickly
recruited nearly 100 youngsters in
his area and started a garden prof.
ect. He divided his land into As in
dividual plots with two children as
signed to each. The young growers
were given a series Of lessons in
American methods, tilling, planting
and wedding. The results of their
efforts are already evident, with a
bumper crop of tomatoes and corn
well on its way to maturity. Most of
these products are new to the
youths, but they indicate that
they'll eat them with pleasure.
