Whenever a man lines up against

The Greeks used to think that

Bright Books for Dark Times
TWO books in our Bible bring
4 this out In q startling way:
Daniel and Revelation. We have
been thinking through three months
now about various kinds of litera-
ture in the Bible. The kind repre-
stnted by these two books is
called "Apocalyptic." Schol lars
have discovered number OF sim
liar books, but these two are in
comparably the greatest and were
the only two to be admitted to the
Bible. One feature of all apocalyp-
tic literature is that it always APP
pears In dark times, and its first
readers are people down at the bot
torn of the heap, people beyond all
human hope.
Daniel, long before the time
Of Christ, and Revelation, two
generations later than Christ,
came rs lights in very dark
world. The first OF these books
circulated when the Jews were
hard pressed by Syrian pcrse-
cutors, and when the other
came out, the Christians were
about 10 be crushed cut of ex-

Observing what went on in those
days, you might have thought the
Jews, or the Christians as the case
might be, had no prospects of sur

he was conveyed to Montgomery

brothers and sisters, who had long
supposed him to be dead. They Of

Mr.. Griffith's death is thus told
by Mr.. Mathews:
"In the summer of 1880 Mr..
Griffith was spending few days
at Bushy Park Tin Howard Coun-
ty). 1t was a very warm night,
and, being in the habit of walking
in his sleep, it was supposed that
he became worried by the heat,
got out of bed and walked out of
the large window that was opened
from the floor up. In the morning
his lifeless form was found in the

was second only to Thomas, Jones
and Brown were other fine aggres-
sive guards.
Centers: Big EARS" Doten was
a center any coach would relish
having. Defensively he was a fine
tackler and an excellent line
backer-upper. Cornelius was the
best judge of plays in the county
and his fast diagnosing always
found him in the ball carriers
path.
Backs: Cushman of Blair was a
power runner who could split any
line and piled up tremendous
yard-gained average for the sea-
son. Kamp was tricky, deceptive
runner and fine passer and spark
ed a good B.C,C. team throughout
the season. Wratten was perhaps
the hardest running back in the
county and tops in backing up
line. Kinsey packed power, speed
and deception; and his average
yardage per carry was phenome-
nal. Nicholson was the fastest
back in the county and many teams
found that out too late.
Manuel stood out as the out
standing passer in the county and
his average was high among the
state. Spain was the speed boy of
the B.C.C. backfeld and his block
ing and pass reception made him q
feared back. Bready was one of the
hardest running backs and always
remained a threat whenever he
carried the ball.

Ends: Parkinson of Bethesda
Chevy Chase was the top fiankman
in the county. A fine pass catcher
and good defensive man, he stood
out all season. Redifer was an ex-
cellent pass catcher and was fine
all around end. Beall was one of
the best defensive ends in all coun-
ty play, and Headley was a fine
defensive player and good going
down under punts. Other good ends
were Beckwith of B.C.C. and Bris-
coe of Richard Montgomery.
Tackles: Stratton of Blair was
the top defensive tackle in the cir
cult. Big Freddie Fry was the
mainstay of the Sherwood line and
played Commute ball throughout
the season. Bogley, the Gathers
burg strong boy and Frank Darcy
of Richard Montgomery stood out
like beacons all season and were
two of the top tackles in the county.
Guards: Perhaps the outstanding
guard in the county was John

Mrs. Cherrington
Reports On Life
In Japan

Mrs. Anne Elizabeth Frazer
Cherrington, wife of Lieutenant
Henry W. Cherrington, Rockville.
recently arrived in Japan to Join
her husband who is currently as
signed to the Fifth Air Force, the
Occupational Air Force for Japan
and southern Korea, at Itami Air
Base, as Combat Intelligence Of
ficer for the 18th Bombardment
Group. Making the Today sea
voyage with Mrs. Cherrington
were their two children = Judith,
aged 5, and Edwin, aged 2.
Met at Yokohama by Lieutenant
Cherrington, they went on to the
Eighth Army Rest Hotel at Nara,
where they spent a week pending
the completion of the project to
westernize their rehabilitated Jap
anese home.
"My opinions were many and
varied when 1 first arrived in ia
pan," Mrs. Cherrington said, "and
I was much impressed by the gen.
orally lower standard of living and
sanitation, and the poor appear
ance of the people"
To make household tasks little
easier, two Japanese housegirls
have been assigned by the Jap
anese government to assist Mrs.
Cherrington.
"At times" Mrs. Cherrington
continued, 81 find it a little diff
ficult to convey Instructions to the
girls because of the language diff
ference, but by using a combina-
ton of sign language, the few
American phrases that the girls
know and the few Japanese words
and phrases that l have been able
to pick up, we manage remarkably
well. Our Japanese girls our won
derful, little slow at times, but
they are willing to do anything"
Groceries, fresh vegetables, and
other items necessary to run a
home in Japan are purchased
through the conveniently located
Army Commissary stores.
Naturally i like American
homes much BETTER" Mrs. Cher
rington reiterated, "but Japanese
architecture has some very fine
points. l particularly admire the
Japanese method of placing the
main part of the home to the back.
By using the large glass sliding
doors which are characteristic of
their architecture, one has an un-
restricted view of the beautifully
Handicapped formal japanese gar
den which is part of every Jap
anese middle or upperclass home;
at the same time, receive the bene-
fit of the additional light and sun
shine"
Prior to going to Japan, Lieu
tenant Cherrington attended the
Georgetown University School of
Foreign Service, and served at the
West Point Military Academy as
on instructor for two years.
