DR.. Byrd operates in the future as
he has in the past, College Park is
no place for a school of journalism
of tlY type l think this association
has in mind" he said.
On Saturday Alfred Crowell,
rev head of the University's De-
parement of Journalism, which Mr..
Cunning said he knew of only
when he "read about it in the
papers" declared that the future of
his department would depend en-
tirely on the support of the Mary
land Press Association. He urged
its cooperation in developing a
program of internship involving
employment of journalism students
as part-time workers on their
papers.
DR.. Byrd, principal speaker at
the concluding luncheon of the as
sociation, made no mention of the
report, but showed moving pic
lures of the university's football
team, much to the disappointment
of the newspaper people who love
good fight.
The association, composed of ex-
ecutives and editors, adopted res
olution urging the States delega-
tion in Congress to oppose the
Brannan plan for increased subsi-
dies to agriculture, in line with a
similar action by the Maryland
Farm Bureau.
James bouton of the Post Office
Department suggested that news
paper publishers seek clarifica-
ton of the law prohibiting lottery
advertisements. Particularly irk-
ing to editors is the ban on bingo -
they just can't mal.o churches and
other organizations understand
that advertising of lotteries is for
bidden in newspapers.
The association reelected Elmer
NJ. Jackson, Jr., of the Annapolis
Capttdi-Gdsette Press as president.

for they were fined for SANDER, and
Anna Washington the same year
was fined "for throwing stones,
sods and sticks" 1t would be in
teresting to know just what pro-
voked Annals attack.
Drawing us still closer to this
little English village are Mr.. and
Mrs. Duckworth who live at Hal
pine just off the Rockville pike and
who were born in Lancashire, at
Bolton, not many miles from War
ton. Mrs. Duckworth, the former
Jeanette Cross, came to America
in 1921 with Mr.. DuckWorth's par
1nts, who followed their son here.
During the first year the young
couple, who had settled in Detroit,
were very homesick and yearned
for their native land. If money had
been available tEoy would have re-
turned to England, but it took
their combined earnings to live at
that time.
Mrs. Duckworth is now. happy,
busy woman, and cannot say too
much of the advantages of the land
of her adoption. Her memories of
the other country include working
in a cotton mill as 4 weaver when
she was barely ten. She recalls
the fear of war, troubled minds
and the lack of many necessities.
Il stood my hcmesickness so that
my babies could be born in the
United States, Mrs. Duckworth
said, "and it was worth everything
to me that we stuck it out"
Two daughters, Mrs. Dorothy
Warrington of Hyattsville and Mrs.
Betty June Beane, Chevy Chase
and two sons, Harry who is mar
ried and lives in Pottsburg, N. Y.
and Donald who is attending
Washington College at Chester
town on a scholarship, complete tE.e
Duckworth family.
Feeling perhaps that she could
not say enough of the advantages
of this country, Mrs. Duckworth
said that in England her boy could
never have received a scholarship
to college, and neither could the
family have afforded to supplement
that scholarship. Donald is an
above average student at the col
leGa, where he is member of Theta
Chi fraternity.
When asked if she had anything
to add to her interview, Mrs.
Duckworth told her feelings in just
a few words, "Only, how happy
am that my children are Ameri-
cans. l will never forget what
this wonderful country has done
for me. l can just wish that every
child could be born in America"

Farmers Protest
Proposed Planning

faced his pea for planning with
the remark that he did not "care
which agency brought civilization
to Upper Montgomery County,"
was booed by the crowd. o. W..
King of Woodfield, a local Will
Rogers, in turn prefaced his plea
for no interference with rural
freedom by saying he had checked
his tomahawk and war bonnet at
the door but he wished the lower
Section of the county would stay
home and mind their own business.
He continued, "there is a great OBJ
session with people in thickly pop
ulated areas to try to regulate
everybody else's affairs, even
though they don't know the city
folks living next door to them,".
w. Lawson King, prominent
Gaithersburg dairy fafmerf and
business man, criticized the speed"
of the planning movement, but said
there may be some merit in it. He
suggested having the, Park and
Planning Commission make a sur
vey of needs of up-county, but TAX
ing "plenty of time" to act on
any recommendations i
Others against the ordinance as
proposed, in whole or in part, in
cluded Lawson Kings brother,
James D. King, former president
of the Farm Bureau; w. F. Stickel
of Derwood; William Fulks, Lay
louisville; McKendree Fulks, Gath
ersburg.
Their statements in this connec-
tion led Councilman Thomas ]. Kel
ley, farmer himself, to observe:
81 am in complete sympathy with
your views against RECOMMENDATION.
But some farmers are coming to
us and asking a little regulation
for subdivisions, and a little regu-
lation for something else. Occa-
sionally, one tells us he is for plan
ming, generally.
Under this proposed ordinance,
the Council could create a COM
mission. But the commission will
make only recommendation for a
plan. The Council you elect will
nave to approve plan to suit the
needs and wishes of you people up
county. The planning commission
would have no authority to enact
laws binding upon you"
Repeatedly the gathering was
assured that if any committee OF
commission ware named it would be
composed largely of rural people.

going to accept an engagement
ring from another man? If she
has been wearing these on her
right hand to signify her having
no husband, would that make it
possible for her to continue wear
ing both rings for awhile? For
how long?
Answer: If the man to whom
she is engaged does not object to
her continuing to wear her rings
until her second wedding day, it
is surely the concern Of no one
else.

Dear Mrs. Post: Is is wrong to
