Forty Years County
Employee Retires
Continued from Page u


Court House and the spacious
quarters we received when we
moved into it in 1881.
1.-THE last 10 years have seen
such changes that again County
offices are over-crowded. In the
last ten years alone, the population
of the County has increased by
about 80 per cent, and this has re-
suited in further expansion of the
County governments until the
County finally has reached a point
where the old and the new Court
House buildings are filled to ca
pacity, and some County operations
have been placed in rented quar-
tiers around Rockville. 1t looks as
if the County Council can't COM
plete arrangements for the new
County office building any too
soon"
Mr.. Lewis served as Assistant
Clerk, slater as Clerk and County
Treasurer, until 1918, when he was
elected a member of the Board
of County Commissioners. He
then succeeded himself for another
term as a Board member, and he
served as President of the Board
for total of six years. Later, he
was appointed to fill an unexpired
term as Chief Judge of the Or
plans Court, and he was elected to
that post for one term, but re-
signed after year to accept the
appointment as Assistant County
Treasurer in 1921. At one time
early in his career he recalled that
the tax rate was about 80 cents
and the taxable basis Of the coun-
ty S25, 100000. e
He held the post of Assistant
County Treasurer until the Coun-
TVS assessment, taxation and other
financial functions We're consol-
idated into Department of FL
nance. Mr.. Lewis then became
| DiSOuA oiilS OHlCST III IIlc DlNlSlOIl
of Revenue and Disbursement of
that department, under John B.
Diamond, who has been in County
service for about Is years.
Mr.. Lewis has one son, Robert
L. Lewis. of Damascus, and two
grandchildren. He lives with his
wife, Bessie, the daughter of the
late DR.. Benjamin F. Lansdale, at
Damascus.
A tall, thin, friendly man, Mr..
Lewis will be missed by taxpayers
and County employees alike when
he vacates his office in the new
Court House building. Even the
County Council paused briefly to-
day to acknowledge the new big
change being created within the
County by Mr.. Lewis retirement.
The Council adopted a special
resolution praising his "loyal and
faithful" service and wishing him
a long and pleasant life in retire
ment.

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT TO GIVE SHOT IN ARM
 TO RAILBELT INDUSTRY

Alaska's building industries are to be fostered by the Department of the Interior in every possible way in the months ahead, Ken meth Kadow, Alaska field com mittee head, announced in Ju- neau recently. MT. KadoW had just returned from a seven weeks conference in Washington, D. C.
 Prominent among plans for Alaska is the promotion of birch numbering industry north of An chorage," MT. Kadow said. In or der to help promote the plan, the government is working out estimates of it's needs in building materials for the next six to 10 years, so that sponsors may judge more accurately the size their infant industries should take In addition to the birch numbering industry, plans for Railbelt ln- dustries include brick manufac- turing, tile making, production of concrete raw materials, produc- ton of insulation materials and manufacture of plaster ingredi- entS.
 The field committee head said the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration had promised full as- sistance to the development of these new Alaskan industries. REC loans will be granted to Alaskan businessmen for purposes of expansion and will be given to newcomers interested in open ing businesses in the proposed fields.
 The field committee is expect ed to meet in Palmer next month, when it is hoped that more infor- nation can be released concern ing plans for Railbelt industries.

The writer has been watching
average bridge players for years,
and 1t Is his opinion that the
outstanding weakness which keeps
them in the average player class,
is their inability. or refusal to
pass to a one no trump take out

When you have opened the bid

partner responds with one no

your hand Is quite unbalanced.
You should not worry about the
suits you are unable to stop. after
all you are only contracting for

opponents should run off six
straight tricks before you gain
