Despite its hustle, Lexington
Park seems to be a law-abiding
community. There are no
town police. The Navy'S
Shore Patrol. however, is in
evidence of evenings and acts
as a curb on the over-ebulli-
ence of celebrants.
The town name derives
from the famous aircraft car
rier Lexington, sunk in the
Pacific. Before the Navy
moved in. the crossroads was
known as Jarboesville, after
a well-known family of early
settlers.
The Navy motif also is
apparent in such street names
as Coral place, Tulagi place,
Midway drive and Saratoga
drive. S. B.

The area for 3 miles on
each side of the naval cen
ter's gates has been zoned
for the best possible INABILITY.
The plan makes allowance for
commerce, residence, parks,
Fairgrounds, schools, high
ways and parking.
BY virtue of the Navy'S ex-
tenSive interest, the town has
developed a sort of dual per-
sonality, with the Navy owning
and controlling most of the
housing area and private
owners controlling the COM
mercial enterprises and some
of the housing. That, in turn,
has led to a unique situation
insofar as utilities are con-
cerned; there are two utilities
systems. Housing under Navy
jurisdiction is furnished elec-
tricity and water by the Navy;
the remainder of the houses
and stores derive water from
the Patuxent Water Co., a
private firm, and electricity is
brought in from Washington
by the Southern Maryland
Electric Coop.
This duality, however, does
not create any perceptible
conflict between Navy author
tiles and non Navy villagers.
Being unincorporated, the
community has no munlc1pal
head and the Navy influence
is the stronger for that fact.
Local government stems from
the county commissioners,
with some inspiration from
local businessmen and civic
minded citizens.
One of these businessmen
is Hiram Millison, lifelong
resident of Southern Mary
land, to whom the Navy'S
coming spelled ruin but who
gained riches instead. Owner

with drugs employed in obeah.
Obeah itself is forbidden on
most of the islands. Its practice
may be punished by imprison-
ment or heavy fines. The drums
are taboo; the dances of vodun
and shango must be held secret
Iy. Yet there is hardly a native
house on the door of which
there is not a cross or on the
roof of which are not the SO
grains of sand that keep the
werewolf away.
Gradually Wenzell Brown un-
earthed many old legends-of
ruined houses haunted by dup
pies, of evil women who en-
sIaved the natives through magic
charms, of phosphorescent fig
ures seen at night along the
shores. One of these stories
dealth with Kate Donley of ia
maica, said by some to be the
most evil woman to have ever
lived in the West Indies. Today
Kate allegely haunts the great
hall in which she lived and died
and, as a result, the natives will
not go near the place.
Wenzell Brown was fascinat-
eddy her Story-for here was a
woman tron between good and
evil. Kate sought to employ
obeah for her own good, but
slowly the strange rites took
possession of her. Kate became
a murderess many times over;
yet even at her death some of
her wild desicer for freedom for
the weak remained.
Out of this strange. almost in
credible story Wenzen Brown
has woven Ozark Drums" the
story of Kate Donley as Brown
imagines her to have been. Be-
meath its surface lies the con-
tinous struggle of mankind-the
contest of good and evil.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1950-10-27

WenZen Brown, author OF
Ozark Drums" first heard the
word in st. Thomas, Virgin Is
lands. Here a native school
teacher had been expelled from
his post for writing about obeah.
WenzelI Brown heard of this
and went to his defense. That
night Browns life was threat
ened. The next day, he receiv-
ed an obeah charm in the mail
- a tiny sac of evil-smelling
powder. At the same time the
local press thundered that there
was no obeah practiced in the
island.
enzell Browns curiosity
was piqued, and he determined
to find out the truth about
obeah. First he discovered an
old woman locked in the local
Jail charged with practicing
obeah; then he went over old
court ercords and found scores
of crimes in which obeah was
mentioned. He talked with
women in the market place,
climbed up into the mountains
at night to watch ceremonies
connected with obeah, rambled
out into tiny villages where few
white men had ever been. He
poured over forgotten manu-
scripts describing the black
magic of Africa, made friends
with the local practitioners, even
participated in the ritualistic
services. More than once his
life was threatened, but he con-
tinued to analyze charms, OBJ
serve the cabalistic signs on
doorways, and doctor himself
