LEONARDTOWN. Md, Sept. "a
st. Marys County's third annual
fair, under the reign of Queen
Tolerance, was under full sway
today, after volunteer workmen
won a race against time yesterday
to complete exhibit buildings be-
fore festivities began.
The st. Marys fair is a Cooper
ative event. Fair Association Pres
ident Henry Fuller said every
foot of lumber for buildings and
every hour of work for construc-
ton was donated by county resi-
dents.
While livestock exhibits still are
housed in tents this year. Mr.
Fuller said barns will be built be-
fore next years fair.
The fair would not have been
possible" he said, without the
work and cooperation Of all the
people of the county"
The high spot of opening day
yesterday was the selection and
crowning of Queen Tolerance
named for the ideals of those who
first settled Maryland's shores In
1884. st. Marys City, a few miles
below here, was the Free States
capital for longer than 60 years,
before the seat of government was
moved to Annapolis. A shaft
honoring Tolerance stands in st.
Marys City.
Princess Made . Queen.
Miss Janet Burroughs of
Mechanicsville was selected Queen
Tolerance from among seven
princesses, representing seven of
the county's nine voting districts.
Judges were Capt. T. A. Turner,
commanding officer of the Patux-
net Naval Air Station; Comdr. D.
c. Robbins. officer in charge OF
the Piney Point Torpedo Station,
and Mrs. E. G. Dickey of Frog
Marsh Farm.
Princesses who will attend the
queen are Bertille Stewart, Bar
bara Cecil, Florence Grogan, Mary
Evelyn Norris, Betty Jane Russell
and Anne Gerkin.
The queen will reign over the
fair and over a ball tonight at
the Leonardtown Wharf Club,
when championship trophies will
be presented top winners in the
Aberdeen-Angus and Hereford
beef cattle classes.
Both top trophies in the Angus
classes will go this year to E. Tay-
lor Chewing of Tacaro Farm in
Anne Arundel County. Mr.. Chewn-
ing's bull took top honors, giving
him possession of the bull trophy
which he hadewon at two previous
fairs.
His top Angus heifer gives him
two legs on the heifer trophy
Each trophy must be won three
times by the same person for per-
manent possession.
Dance Marathon Begins.
Besides the ball tonight, chief
feature of the fair today will be
the beginning of a dance mara
thon, sponsored by the st. Marys
County Little Theater Group.
Winner will receive a $100 prize,
and at least 80 couples are ex-
pected to take part.
An oratorical contest for coun-
ty high school students, with Full
ton Lewis, jr., radio commentator,
as one of the judges, will be held
this afternoon.
The fair will continue through
tomorrow, with a grand parade
Of all livestock and a tournament
in the afternoon.
Before the tournament begins
at 1880 pm, Gov. Lane will make
an address to the participating
knights. The winning knight will
be crowned by Queen Tolerance
at S pm, with DR.. H. c. Byrd,
president Of the University Of
Maryland, delivering the corona
tion address.

''PQEM"

BY JOHN HENRIK CLARKE
You came after my heart had
been broken
So completely, il could never be
mended.
And 1 had sworn to the Gods of
romance,
Never to love again.
l had been faithful to a previous
one,
Who crushed my heart for the
sake of fun,
When you came and offered true
love
1 had not the strength to respond.
So go away and let me be;
And behind you close the gate
I could have loved you passion
ately-
Only you came too late.

That with the help OF Otto Christensen

Nations, freely cooperating
and progress The decision of In
dia and Pakistsn to align them
selves with the West has world
shaking significance. II tips the
numerical preponderance Of pop
ulation against Russia and her
satellites in favor Of the West.
Russia now faces a major land
threat in war of Western armies
moving thru India up to Russia's
back door.
India has enough territory to
serve as a base for operation of
any size. India Is the sixth largest
producing nation in the world, 80
that the balance Of production Of
goods and ornaments now leans
even more heavily with the West.
COnceivably India and Palxistan's
aligning themselves with the West
may be factor in Russia's shift
in international affairs. Russia
needs time to appraise the new sit
uatiOn.
The action of India and PaISis-
tan casting their lot with the West
makes the struggle for China even
more critical China has a pop
ulation Of $50 million, almost in
exhaustable resources of every
kind, political maturity, and al
ready an appreciable industrial
production. If Russia can control
China's soldier millions and her
resources the scales are tipped
back in her favor. China and Rus
STA standing together can face the
entire world.
1t may not be comforting to the
white western mind to note how
the center Of gravity has shifted
from Europe to Asia. But facts
are facts whether one likes them
or not, Assuming the West can
keep up its present rate Of techno-
logical progress. it still has no
monopoly on brains. The Asiatic
nations are making chronological
progress, and since they have
more manpower and more poten-
tial resources it is reasonable to
assume that in course of time
they will creep up even and ulti-
mately pass the West.
All these factors tend to &C
celerate racial Indignation
throughout the world. Europe Is
no longer able to stand by It.
self; the white world now leans
on the cOlOred worlds shoulder.
The free and equal members of
the British Commonwealth of
Nations are the United Kingdom,
Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa, India, Pakistan and
Ceylon, with a total population of
some $50 million. The nonwhite
member nations, India, Pakistan
and Ceylon have a combined pop
ulation Of 400 million people.
That means that over two out of
every three individual in the Brit
ish Commonwealth family are
nonwhite. The majority of the
citizens of Greater France are
nonwhite. II the Dutch succeed in
federating Indonesia into a Dutch
family Of nations, another white

The United States, Australia
and the Union OF South Africa
are the only countries left where
white supremacy Is q national
disease. Day by day we see the
United States setting Its own

gotten by tomorrow and unless
your shots should be exceptional
you would find little interest In
them after the story had been
printed.
The Story In One Picture.
There are three avenues of ap-
proach open to you In entering the
field of photo journalism. From
time to time you may run across
individual scenes or bits of action
that can be covered by one shot.
One picture tells the entire story.
This LIS the easiest approach for
the average amateur who hasn't
the time or inclination to enter
the field on an active competitive
basis. This type of shot could be
Of almost anything. 1t could be
a picture OF your baby or it could
be a shot Of a neighbours pet kit
ten. 1t might be a photo of .
grimy-faced kid licking an ice
cream cone or 1t could be the shot
you took last winter of a pretty
girl skidding across an icy side
walk. Certain types of subject
matter are more desirable to edi-
tors than others. but any picture
that is out of the ordinary or un-
usual will fill the bill. The main
thing to remember is that the pic
ture must tell some kind of q
story in itself without too much
in the way Of explanatory remarks
on the side.
We mentioned children, animals
and the pretty girl. We did this
for d reason. In that order. pic
lures are attractive to the read
ing public. Glance through any
newspaper or picture magazine
and you'll always find plenty Of
shots in those categories. So If
you are determined to sell your
photos. go out of your way to get
that kind of subject before your
lens. 1t is only fair to warn you
that just a picture Of baby. as
an example, will not be picked up
by an editor just because it is a
shot Of a cute kid. The world is
full Of them. The idea is to have
the tot DOING something that
will produce an automatic smile
from the viewer.
A series of connected pictures
is the second approach to photo
journalism. These are most often
seen in the photo magazines and
rotogravure sections. A series Of
related shots is required where
one picture will not do the Job.
In other words. you simply use q
sequence Of photographs to take
the place Of printed words. Each
of the pictures should be i'm
portant to the whole and so
necessary that the series will not
hang together without each of
the individual shots. Such a
group Of photos may run from
two to six, or, In special cases.
even more. But don t try to pad out
a series of shots. Instead, after
you have the prints together, re-
move them one at a time to see
If the rest viii adequately tell the
story. Any picture that can be
so eliminated should be removed
before offering the whole for sale.
In any event the surplus pictures
would be removed by the editor
