POEM.
From Mrs. r. D., Washington
Mrs. j. r. G., Washington. said
that the poem submitted by her
was author unknown" and that
she clipped it some 20 years ago.
The author of this poem is Anne
Campbell, Detroit, Michigan. Her
poems appeared quite frequently
in the Philadelphia Evening Bull
letin. I clipped the one Send
Them Onward With a Smile"
more than Is years ago and it
hung in my kitchen and served
as a motto for me while my child
rem were growing.
I have several of Anne Camp
bells poems. one in particular
that seemed to fit my mother. Un-
fortunately, this poem got lost.
then after the death of mother I
wrote to Anne Campbell and am
copying this poem from an auto
graphed copy sent to me by the
poetess, which I prize. I think
that Mrs. j. R. G. will agree with
me. Mother was 81 when she died.
REMEMBERING.
She grew in WISDOM as the world grows
She .s,.S knew young April. Its recurrent
Inspired her: and the swiftly gathered gold
OF daffodils remembered from her youth
Remained with her; and SO she never was
Entirely old. Her harvest was her pride
In happy children who obeyed her laws,
And never once her loving faith denied.
Death came to her as winter comes to
As peaceful as twilight settles down
Upon the hills. It Is another birth
For her who blessed our lives with the
renown
OF her great age. 1t is her golden spring,
And our whole life for remembering
ANNE CAMPBELL.

Montgomery Center
Takes Shape as 700
Report for Big Day
By jones Birchfield

The Montgomery County Co.
operative Agricultural Centers be-
gan to take shape today with
more than TOO volunteer workers
constructing buildings, a picnic
area and a lake. The 65-acre site
is near Gaithersburg.
The work proceeded with each
man carrying out Job assigned
to him by project leaders. Men
with electric saws cut out beams
that were passed on to carpenters
on top of building that will house
livestock exhibits.
Plumbers, assisted by county
farmers, laid pipe, while 4-H Club
members filed in bitches behind
them.
Bulldozers and scrapers were
following out the lake bed under
the direction of Malcolm King.
wildlife project supervisor for
Maryland.
Tractor Becomes Mired.
Only one incident marred the
proceedings this morning. A cater
pillar tractor drawing land scoop
became mired for a while in a
swampy section where the lake is
to be located. It soon was pulled
out by other crews.
Mr.. King said a State law, passed
in 1888, will limit tn lake tenn
porarily to a 6-foot height, con-
tanning 100000 gallons Of water.
He said the lake will be increased
In area to about Three and onel
half acres as soon as permits can
be obtained.
On hand to take care Of any
casualties were representati tives OF
the Montgomery County Health
Department and the Gathers
burg Washington Grove Rescue
Squad. No casualties had been
reported by noon, however.
Work began at dawn and is to
be completed by nightfall.
AS workers began to arrive this
morning they were guided to jobs
on the various projects by w.
Lawson King, chairman Of the
Big Day" Committee.
Set Up Food Booths.
County police directed traffic
and parking while Gaithersburg
Boy Scouts and county All Club
boys were on hand to run errands
and perform other odd jobs.
Montgomery County women be-
gan to arrive early to- set up food
booths in the first building to be
covered. Arrangements were be-
ing made to feed as many as TO-
900. expected to be on the grounds
during the day.
Mr.. Anderson said any build
ings that remain unfinished will
be completed next week by those
who are sponsoring their con-
struction. Each project on the
center is sponsored by some indi-
vidual or group within the county.
Mr.. Anderson credits the idea
for the one-day project to a one
day soil conservation demonstra-
ton on a Frederick County farm
last summer. He estimated that
the value of the project may reach
half a million dollars. More than
$250.000 in cash, materials, ma
chinery and labor have been do
mated to the center, he said.

to retire with charley horses. and
Mccarthy came cropper at the

Tom Pickett of Texas also was

hours later, there wasn't q dull

Drill Team Popular.
One Of the biggest hits was the
crack drill team from the Marine
Corps Institute, which executed
numerous complicated maneuvers
without verbal command.
The Marines also made hit
with the youngsters when Stan
Sergt. Jones presented $3.50 col
lected from men stationed at the
Marine Barracks to the summer
camp fund.
Each military unit made a smart
appearance marching In with its
band, beginning with the Marine
Band and company Of leather

It took a lot of hufing and
putting and legislative legwork. but
the Democrats came up with
another victory over the Republi-
cans last night at Griffith
Stadium. 1910.
A savage 6-run outburst In the
fifth and final frame, unhindered
by Republican defenses. decided
the issue after the losers won an
uphill battle to tie the score at
10-all in the fourth. It was the
second consecutive victory for the
Democrats, who piled up a 24-ll
margin last year.
Highlight of a colorful. fast
moving program that saw an
amateur all-star nine defeat a
team of former major leaguers,
AZ, in a curtain-raiser, the game
produced a laugh a minute for
the vociferously partisan crowd
and a shower Of dollars for The
Stars summer camp fund for
under privileged children.
Verdict Accepted Calmly.
Republicans accepted the ver-
dict calmly. almost stoically.
IF we had given our pitcher the
kind of support we expected to
give him, we'd have won," COM
mented Manager Runt Bishop.
"We1l have to wait until next year
to get them"
Manager Oren Harris of the
Democrats said the game went
exactly as he expected, although
he frankly didn't expect that kind
Of competition.
It was an evening Of personal
triumph for Don Wheeler of Geor-
gia. who not only got credit for
the pitching victory. but made the
final putout by taking Glenn Da-
Wis pop fly. But, like last year.
Wheeler had to rest q couple Of
innings and AL Gore turned in a
nice relief job. Gore also slashed
a last-inning two-base hit that
scored two runs and helped clinch
the victory.
Davis, the Republicans widely
publicized mystery pitcher. went
the full distance for his mates
and except for the first. second.
third and fifth innings was sell
dom in trouble. He had o no.
hitter until Hugh Addonizio.
second batter In the first inning.
poled a two-bagger. He also was
nicked for a two-run homer by
Gene Mccarthy In the first and
q three-master circuit swat by
Oleo Rivers In the second.
Gore Scores Double.
Doubles by Gore and Morton
Gorski were the big blows Of
the fatal fifth
| Davis. however, caught his
rivals mapping In the fourth when
he sprinted home with the tying
run while Democrats tossed the
ball around the fnfleid after
making q putout.
Lustiest clout of the Repub-
llicans' 5-run rally in the third
was Caleb Boggs' triple to the
right field wall, scoring Harold
velde and Thor Tollafsen. Francis
