the Drummer.
"But older people have had ex-
perience enough to know that the
trouble with marriage today, is to-
morrow A wise man knows that
passion, women and love are only
good when they are understood.
He knows, too, the value of pride,
for pride is at the bottom of most
mistakes as well as successes in
life, and becoming toughened to
life, he doesn't yield or soften to
woe and trouble, but stands the
gaff, knowing full well that today's
grief is often tomorrow's biggest
laugh.
"But these young, immature and
inexperienced young folks do not
know that life is game at which
everybody's loses business. They
cannot buck up against disillus-
ionments, and empty cupboards
and when their love begins to
cool off, they want to run back to
mother. Marriage, like the cafe
terra, demands that a man grab
what he wants, but he isn't think
ing then he will have to pay later" /"
concluded the Old Salt.
"How did you learn so much
about women, you being a man
who went to sea all his life ?"
asked the Drummer.
81 didn't say I knew anything
about women" replied the Old Sea
Captain, ''but l do know something
about men. Both are human beings,
and by turning situation around
in my imagination, l can see some
of the reactions that come to Ell
ther SEX"
"How would you stop folks from
marrying young?" asked the
Drummer.
at would be quite task in this
sectiony where there is so little
else for young folks to do" said
the Old Sea Captain. SIT seems if
there were more wholesome
amusements, more intelligent di-
rection of the energies of the
young people, their minds would
be so busy, marriage wouldn't
strike them so quickly"
"That would rquire mothers and
fathers to stay home and pay
more attention to raising their
children" said the Drummer. "You
know they don't do that any more.
It's usually the parents who lead
the pace these days."
"We are going round in a cir
rle," said the Captain, "and get
ting nowhere. If parents learned
more before they married, they
would spend more time after mar
riage in fulfilling its obligations.
But not having gained this ex-
perience young, they are off learn
ing the ways of the world after
being married, just as soon as the
children get big enough to be left
alone nights"
"You are about like the rest Of
the folks" said the Drummer.
"This business is something like
the weather. Everybody seems to
have lot to say about it; but mo-
body seems to be able to do any
thing about it." (Reprinted from

this eye-appealing exhibit. Both
Mrs. Edwin D. Fry, Home Arts
Superintendent and the judges feel
that the canning entries this year
are superlative. Red beets and
cherries, orange carrots and mar
malade, yellow pears and corn,
green beans and countless other
vegetables and fruits of multi-col-
ored hues are a mountaineering
tribute to Montgomery County
Homemakers. Among the many
winners, too numerous to mention,
are Mrs. H. w. Mumford of Coles
vile, first in a six-vegetable collec-
ton, and Miss Joyce Beall of
Clarksburg who won blue ribbon
in the fruit collection class.
Of much interest was the Gro
chet Contest, the winner of which
stands chance of winning a ma
tional contest. Mrs. Maggie Dwyer
won a gold cup with her blue and
white bedspread which looks like
the early American coverlets of
great fame.
The clothing exhibits had liter
ally hundreds of entries. Only a
few winners are listed. Miss Ger
trude Stanley of Damascus won
first place with her red wool tail
ored suit; Miss Margery Fry Of
Gaithersburg had blue ribbon
pinned to her red and grey cotton
plaid afternoon dress with red
linen jacket; a white organdy APP
ron with yellow appliqued flower
pocket won first place in the fancy
apron class for Mrs. Adelia Clag-
gett of Rockville, while Mrs.
Muhrle King of Germantown won
a first in the practical apron group.
Six first places for children's
clothing went to Mrs. Roscoe
Whip of Rockville. Apparently
her two little girls will not have
to worry about what the we'll
dressed child will wear! Mrs. Oak
lev Hill of Silver Spring won both
first and second places for boys
clothing with two Elton suits. She
is the mother of several young chill
dren.
Of great educational interest are
the booths which line the sides OF
the Home Arts building. Each ex-
hibit is supposed to tell story,

in addition to being judged for
colorful and artistic arrangement.
Best booth, according to the judges
is one assembled by the Potomac
Glen Homemakers Club, showing
the scope of extension services for
Rural Women Homemakers in
Montgomery County. Many women
might well look at this exhibit
to learn what club activities are
open to them in their areas. Po-
tomac-Glen Club also won a third
place with their booth "Plan for
Aging. Here are shown arts from
which older women may well de-
rive pleasure and profit. They in
clude: needlepoint, rug hooking,
crocheting, petit point, quilting,

winner. 1t displays refinished old

Cook Book by placing second. Mrs.
Colby is reported to have been
delighted with the cook book, since
she already had a cake plate. Why
one of such culinary accomplish
ments would need a cook book is
hard to imagine, but then, it is
entirely possible that Mrs. Colby
is in search of a better method of
shirring eggs!
To Mrs. M. L. Reese of Rock
vile went the distinction of win
ming most first places in baking.
She won blue ribbons for sponge
cake, pound cake, rolled cookies,
and rolls. When asked where she
learned these superlative talents
as a super-baker, slender Mrs.
Reese shrugged her shoulders and
said, "Well, both my grandmother
and mother were good cooks. l
suppose l just naturally picked it
up from them"
The only male entrant in the
baking contest was 12-year old
Bryan z. Kile, Jr., who won a
second place ribbon for his brown
les. Other first place winners in

Tax Money Is Coming
Into County Steadily

Tax money is coming in steadily,
according to John B. Diamond,
Chief of the Division of Revenue
and Disbursements for Montgom-
cry County. According to Mr..
Diamond, most people pay their
tax bills the last week in Septem-
Der, just before the October first
deadline, when interest is charged.
Taxes are due July l, although it
is not possible to get all tax bills
out by that time. Occasionally
bills are not received by some
county residents until after Octo-
Der first. In these cases, the tax
payer is usually given a 3O-day
grace period before interest is
charged.
The whole process of sending
out tax bills has been speeded up
UNNECESSARILY since the installa
ton of IBM equipment. The IBM
machines do all sorts of jobs which
are almost uncanny. According to
Alex. X. Hancock, Director of the
Department of Finance, the job
would have been practically i'm
possible without the use of this
equipment, in view of the tremen-
dous increase in population in the
county during the last few years.
When asked whether it was posi-
BILE that Montgomery County might
find million dollar surplus" such
as that discovered recently in
Prince Georges county, Mr.. Han
cock just smiled. 1t isn't likely.

able ones to your correspondent
has been the associations with the
residents of Gaithersburg, Wash

YOU I have never seen, have en-
loved the conversations or letters
from each one. Because my hus-
band will go to the West Coast

umn over to my most able success
sor, Mrs. Ruth Darby. Mrs. Darby
has been writing for the past sew
eral weeks, and l am sure you will
find her most cooperative and anx-

l expect to keep in touch with
everyone through the pages of the
Sentinel, and now and then will
write little things for the paper,
hoping that you too will be inter
ested in keeping up with the
events I have told from time to
time of my family.
Of recent weeks have had near
ly fifty inquiries about my fig tree,
and want the readers to know
that it is heavy with green fruit
although we did not wrap it this
past winter. Only one stalk
froze, and while the fruit has not
been as early this year, we are
satisfied with it. l feel that after
the tree has matured it needs very
little protection.
We have had our ups and downs
through this column, but l have a
feeling of real sadness in giving it
up, and I wish much happiness and
good health to each one who has
been so kind as to say you liked

Would Support
 Eisenhower Or Truman In 1852

PITTSBURG, Tenn, (P)-Gov. Gordon Browning of Tennessee, first Democrat to speak out pub licy in the governors conference here, said today President Tru- man or Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hover can win the presidency for the Democrats in 1852.
 AS the conference business ses- sion opened, Browning rejected overtures for a Republican-South- ern Democrat coalition, and said he will support MT. Truman if the President seeks another term.
 Browning told a news confer ence Eisenhower has been acting like a Democrat for the last seV- eral months. If he is Democrat, the Tennessee governor said, he would welcome the general as his party's nominee.
 But he said that if MT. Truman wants the nomination again, he can have it and will get Brown ing's support.
 Eisenhower also is being men, toned for the Republican presi- dential nomination by some of the COP governors here.
 Most of the rest of the Repub- ican governors are firmly for Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio, with other names getting on.

National Football League Opens Winter Schedule

NEW YORK, (P)-If it had hap pened in mid November, the sports world would be a-buzzing for days, if not weeks about it. But this greatest of all baseball pennant races has made the de- feat of the Cleveland Browns-pro footballs greatest team-an all most obsolete item.
 But lose the Browns did, and to a team which last season won only three games-the San Francisco 49ers.
 The 49ers upset the Browns, A to 10, before 52,219 fans in San Francisco. It was by far the big gest development of the day as eight National Football League teams opened their schedules.
 Tn other openers-and they all ran true to form-Detroit wal loped Washington g to IT; Phila- delphia edged the Chicago Cardi- nals F to IA, and the Chicago Bears beat their perennial enemy, Green Bay 31 to 20.
