elections he was reelected by an
overwhelming majority, but at the
end of his term of office in 1928,
he resigned to accept an appoint
ment as vice-president and trust Of
ficer of the Nicodemus National
Bank. Following the death of the
former president of the bank, Mr..
Charles E. Hil1ard, in 1910, Mr.. Hol-
lyday succeeded to the presidency
and has served continuously ever
since.
1t was under his capable super
vision during the trying years OF
the World War II that the institu-
ton enjoyed a tremendous growth
in assets and deposits, and was
contributing factor in the tremen-
dous local industrial expansion OF
those years.
In addition to his outstanding de-
votion to duty in connection with
/ affairs of the bank, Mr.. Hollyday
| still found time to be an active
participant in all community affairs,
and it was under his direction that
the various War Bond Campaigns
during the war in this county, were
carried to such successful conclu-
sions.
In politics Mr. Hollyday was an
independent Democrat and was al
ways very broad-minded in discus
sing the political issues Of the day.
A devout member of ST. Paufs
Lutheran Church, Funkstown, he
took an active part in both church
and Sunday School work and was

Aphis Bug Attacks
Maple Trees Here
Causes Premature Falling OF
Leaves-Hot Dry Spell VIII
Kill OFF The Bug.

Perhaps you have noticed during
the past several weeks that the
maple trees in and around Hagers-
town are rapidly losing their leaves,
that ordinarily would not occur un-
til fall.
/ Checking the matter with Mark
Miller, the County Agent, he told
this reporter that the trouble was
started by the unreasonable, cool,
damp weather of the past few weeks,
plus a small gray-colored bug known
as the Aphis, which thrives in cool,
wet weather and dies off in the hot,
dry season. A couple of weeks OF
! hot, dry weather will cause the des-
tructiveness of the bug to end.
Mr.. Miller stated, however, that
should the condition continue, the
bugs can be killed off by spraying
! the trees with Black Leaf 40, mix
ture of nicotine, sulphate, lime and
water. He further stated that there
1 is practically no danger of the maple
/ trees being permanently injured by
the invasion of these bugs, which
by the way, feed on the leaves, thus
l causing the sap from the leaves to
escape instead of the tree absorb
ing the sap for its continued growth
And it would only be by this condl'
r ton continuing unabated for Ions
time, that the life of the trees woule
= be in danger.
2 The Oak Hamilton Boulevard
n section, and the Funkstown area
e seem to be hardest hit by the bug
f and residents in these sections re
r port that the condition is worse thl
year than it has been in decade.

for the greater part of his life, Mr..
Hollyday was the son of Samuel

sided for many years on a farm just
below the village of Funkstown. He

from the Washington County High
School in the class of 1899. He was
recognized as one of the best self
educated public men in this area
