County Leads In
Sale Of "E" Bonds
Ellsworth Roulette, County
Savings Bonds Chairman, Is
sues Report - Recommends
Bonds AS Christmas Gifts.

Ellsworth r. Roulette, Washing
ton County Savings Bonds chair
man, has announced that the citi-
zens of Washington County con-
tinue their investments in u. S. Saw
ings Bonds at the same high levels
that were so evident during the OPP
portunity Campaign in April-July of
this year, when Washington County
achieved 1909 per cent of its E Bond
objective, compared to the State of
Maryland's achievement of 1872 per
cent of the State objective
Mr.. Roulette states that the peo-
pie of Washington County had in
vested $1,481 1850 in E Bonds from
January through November, 1949,
compared to investments of $1,238,-
1853 in E Bonds for the comparable
period of 1948, which reflects an in
crease of more than 1877 per cent
for the first eleven months of 1949
over 1913.
Mr.. Roulette also stated that in
formation received from the State
Savings Bonds office places Wash
ington County among the leaders in
Maryland in the sale of E Bonds.
At this season of the year Mr..
Roulette recommends an E Bond as
an ideal gift for Christmas and
points out that all Washington Coun-
'ty banks have been provided with a
supply of beautiful Christmas fold
ers, which Bonds buyers may use
when presenting Savings Bonds as
Chritmas presents.

BEHIND HOME PLATE
By Doug Stewart

But the big professional football
news broke before Sundays games
were played-and that was the an
nouncement that the two confer
ences had finally settled their diff
ferences, with the two leagues merg-
ing into one 13-team league in 1850.
With the Baltimore Colts being
one of the three Conference teams
moving intact into the new league
the other ten teams will consist of
the present National League teams
the basketball rivalry between
Washington and Baltimore will no
doubt extend to football next year,
all of which adds up to a merrier
clicking of the turnstiles.

In their bloodless conquest OF
Peiping the Chinese Communists
are gaining a prize of political and
psychological proportions far out
weighing its negligible military
value.
They nave taken city which, for
centuries, was the symbol OF China S
gover1 1nent-its ancient capital.
To most educated Chinese, as well
as to the countless Westerners who
have fallen in love with it, the old
Manchu capital is the epitome OF
all that is best in China's long
civilization.
To millions of illiterate Chinese
it is still the traditional capital
when orders came for many CEN
turies bidding "tremble and obey.
It is a virtual museum of archi-
tectural and historical treasures,
the chosen home of scholars and
philosophers.
Famed In the West since the
Journeys of Marco Polo, its rela-
tionship to China is comparable
to that of Athens and Rome to
European culture.
All along Peiping sustained a
calm, unreasoning confidence that,
somehow, it would come through
the latest of the many tribulations
it has survived down three millen-
iums of Eecorded time.
Once Known as Yuchow.
After all, the japanese had spared
it, even though they started World
War II outside its gates in 1887;
and similar forbearance had been
shown by most conquerors dating
back to medieval days.
Situated on sandy plain, BREATH
ing the rare, winelike atmosphere
of North China, Peiping was known
as long ago as 1000 BIC. as YuchoW.
For centuries it was a crude
place, often sacked and destroyed
but always rebuilt.

passes enable riders to get seated
