Radio for Classic Group

The appearance in your columns of letter
criticizing the Federal Communications Com
mission for allowing so many neighborhood
radio stations leads me to protest Major radio
stations are practically indstinguishable dur
ing the day in their devotion to soap opera or
popular music, and lovers of classical music are
entirely dependent on the local station, some
of which do cater moderately to this class of
the listening public. 1t would seem to me to be
ideal if it were possible to have more choice of
material among the daytime programs.
I wonder If the big sponsors realize how
fanatically loyal group they are ignoring in
the lovers of classical music

Echoes of Miss Youngs Remarks
To the Editor of The Star
I was interested in your publication of the
remarks about Britain attributed to Loretta
Young.
AS an Englishman long absent from home,
I recently visited London after three years in
Washington. As Miss Young has said, the
lack-luster faces and general air Of dullness
among young and old, men and women, seen
everywhere in the streets of London Is strik-
ingly noticeable
All this is understandable enough as an
economic hangover from the war, but the war
is over two years past. The indignation of the
London press in general at Miss Young's re-
marks was the natural reaction of any one
being called dull. The Daily Herald, however.
took particular offense and quoted reams of
production figures to prove how well off
Britain is becoming, but it Is a partisan Social
ist organ, the only one of the many newspapers
in Britain which wholeheartedly supports the
present labor government.
Whatever figures these Socialists may quote.
general conditions and production today In
Britain would have been far better under un-
restricted enterprise. The dull faces and shabby
appearance of Mr.. Everyman in Britain today
is the proof Of the colossal failure of Socialist
bureaucracy. ERIC RENDLE.

President Praised as Second Lincoln
To the Editor Of The Star:
The South has declared war on the President
of the United States for his effort to help the
condition OF minorities, especially the colored
Americans. His messages to Congress recon-
mending fair employment, antilynching, and
other reforms have made him second Lincoln
to me.
We are proud and thankful that another
man has appeared brave enough to risk his
high position to fight for the cause of the
underprivileged. May God bless him.

To the Editor of The Star:
I am defending Loretta Young. movie star,
having just come back to the United States
from visit to my native Scotland. I tarried
long enough in London to observe conditions
and found them exactly as Miss Young
describes The British press doesn't seem to
like the truth or appreciate what we Americans
do and have done to help them.

REDWOOD CLUB HOST
TO ALLEN LITERARY GROUP

Recently as guests of Rich
woods Carpe Diem, the Allen
Progressive Literary club ladies
enjoyed afternoon tea, listening
to several excellent quartet num-
bers by the Lions club boys, and
a very entertaining lecture by
Miss Jones, retired school
ma'am of Az year standing. Points
of interest were Death Valley and
Boulder Dam.
1t was learned that Mrs. Guy
Chappell, charter member OF
Allen Center's club holds a paper
probably unique in this part OF
the country: A permit signed by
the City Manager, to reside and
to establish a recreational club
in the restricted city, granted her
when construction activities were
at their height. Boulder City, by
its system of management, re-
NAMED a worth while develop
ment.

Montgomery SideIights
BY ELSIE WHITE HAINEs

The Courthouse is extra fasci-
mating these November days when
the Circuit Court is in session -
we love to sneak away for an hour
or two and listen to few of the
most interesting cases. Illness and
an unusually busy season has
prevented any lingering on our
part this year. This week in an
old Sentinel we ran across g story
written years ago. Descendants Of
these early jurors will probably
enjoy reading it.
The charge to the grand jury of
November ID, 1859, was made by
Judge John Brewer and was de-
voted almost in it's entirety to a
warning against the possession of
arms. In those days it required
but short time to clear the docket
and THE SENTINEL of that date
says that court will probably close
within a week after it convened.
The list of jurors, both grand
and petit, included many names
still familiar in Montgomery
County current history. Among
the names common in Rockville
were Henry Humphrey, Samuel V.
Veirs, William E. Trail, Luther M.
Offutt, Thomas Fawcett and G. M.
Watkins.
The following comprised the
grand jury: Edward w. Owen,
Samuel c. Veirs, VIM. C. Soper,
James NJ. Etchison, Hez. w. Trun-
die, Thos. holland, VIM. T. Poole,
Lafayette Barnes, Simon Nichols,
Henry Renshaw, VIM. E. Trail,
John W. Horner, VIM. H. Cuttings,
Joshua Dorsey, Basil Beal, Ignat-
ius Fulks, Richard T. Bently,
Chas. Saffle, G. M. Watkins, Mi
chael Brown, Henry Humphrey,
VIM. Waters, Lewis w. Williams.
