BIG REVIVAL HELD OVER FOR EASTER
THE SUMS NEWS KIDS
MAKING GOOD CITIZENS

In April, 1912, when the ARI-
IONA SUN made its first appear
ance in Phoenix, the news
boys played very important role
in introducing the little paper to
its future readers sand supporters.
To them, we, of the Sun Staff,
who have worked throughout the
years, to keep the press rolling,
eve our eternal gratitude, for
without our neWsboys, our read
ers would be few.
It is interesting to roll back the
pages Of history over the period of
ten years, and see once more those
staunch youngsters, who pioneered
with us the struggle of the ARI-
IONA SUN. ...
If perchance, the name of any
child has been omitted, it has not
been intentional. Some had de-
livered the paper for only a very
Snort period of time, and some we
have no way of locating.
The following youngsters are
those who were working with us
steadily. during the first three
years. The majority Of them are
still showing the same dogged de-
termination they showed eight and
ten years ago, in getting ahead.
Among the first ARIZONA SUN
sellers in 1912 were Mckinley john
son, Cabot Hall, Mullen Hunter,
Herbert and Marie Cross, Buela

Your Community Paper Has Been
Your Servant For 10 Years

With you, the readers of the .ARI-
IONA SUN, we're going back, ore
the past ten years.; recalling the
things our friends have done, their
joys, their hopes and their tears.
For soma, these mem'ries bring
ieartaches, as old sorrows, they re-
call; but for others, the mem'ries
of those years are the dearest ones
of all.
Lest we forget, it is only appro-
pirate that we start with the mem
ory of our very first edition, in 1912.
On the front page of that issue
was a picture of Father Emmett
Mclaughlin, who was referred to
as the Guardian of the SouthSide." +"
And, as we turn the pages, year
by year, we will still read of him.
At that time he had just seen the
fulfillment of small part of his
dream in the completion and rent

Used Car Prices
Drop Two Percent
On October l

OPS reminded used car sellers
and buyers this week that by Oc-
tober l, all used car ceiling prices
must be reduced another 2 90. I'm
der the provisions of Ceiling Price
Regulation 81, governing used car
sales, used car prices must be re-
duced 2 2c at the beginning of
each calendar quarter.
Those interested in buying used
car should carefully check the cell
ing price before completing their
purchase. If there is any doubt as
t. the ceiling price, a letter or call
to the Maryland Office in Balti-
more at BOG w. Franklin Street,
Lexington 4042, will do the trick.
Those shopping for used cars
are again reminded by the Mary
land OPS to look for the tag on
each car offered for sale. This tag
or sticker must be shown and on
1t there musa be given the ceiling
price. When a purchase is made,
the seller must also give detailed
invoice to the buyer.
Look for these things when you

whom were negro slaves. Between
Frederick Town" and George
Town" there was not a village or
hamlet that had a name. Public
highways were unknown. Such was
the comparative wilderness which
composed the greater part of this
County in 1776.
Little change took place in the
face of Montgomery County for
the first 1875 years of its existence,
measured by modern day stand
ards. But there developed a way of
life, charm and history per-
haps not fully recognized and ap-
preciated by most of us in this
speed age. But counties, like in
dividuals, have characters to form
and to preserve. The character of
our County, created by our coura-
geous founding fathers, forms the
solid foundation upon which rests
our present claim to fame. Those
men must have envisaged the fin
est county in America, in one form
or another, for in their day, too,
they must have had farsighted
leaders motivated by the same pro-
gressive and energetic magnanimi-
ty and courage as that which
characterizes such present day
leaders as Rockville's Lamar Kelly,
and the County's Fred Lee and
Brooke Lee. "
While the members of the Bar
prepare to commemorate Federal
Constitution Day on September II,
let US. hope that they will pause
for moment and consider the
beginning of our own County,
which took place more than thir-
teen years before the adoption of
the Federal Constitution.

States Population Increase
Emphasizes Soil Management

An increase of $4,000 mouths
to feed in Maryland since 1910 and
in the amount of food eaten by the
average consumer represents fur
Their pressures on farmers besides
the farm acreage decline to manage
soil wisely, according to the Com
mittee for Conservation Now.
The states population has in
creased about 80 per cent since
the 1910 census, while total farm
production has increased slightly
over II per cent, based on figures
for the region which includes
Maryland. Output, therefore, in the
last IL years has not kept pace
with the population increase.
Population in the state was
1921 ,244 in 1910 and has risen to
an estimated 100000 by 1862. The
average family also is using about
10 per cent more food than before
World War IL.
Based on an estimate by the us.
Department of Agriculture that
slightly over 2k, or exactly 2.64
acres of farm land are needed for
the average persons food and fibre
requirements at present rates of
production and consumption, Mary
lands present population needs
6,408,000 acres of farm land. Be-
cause the state has slightly over
a million acres of farm land, it
obviously depends on areas outside
the state to fill its market basket.
The United States has sufficient
farm land now to provide an aver
age of three acres per person. How
ever, Department of Agriculture
officials predict that population in
crease will wipe out the excess
within 25 years. In such case, the
country would be in the same
status as Maryland is now = with
less land than is needed to keep
the nation self-sufficient in food
production.
Population in the United States
is growing at the rate of 100000
per year and has been increasing
in Maryland since 1910 at the rate
of nearly $4,000 persons per year.
The Bureau of the Census esti-
mates that at the present rate of
increase, U.S., population will ex-
coed 200,000,000 in 1875, compared
with 152,000,000 in 1850.
The obvious answer to the in
creasing need for farm products,
the Committee for Conservation
Now pointed out, is a corresponding
increase in output per worker and
per acre through use of machinery,

State Roads Places
16 Millions in New
Contracts This Year

The State Roads Commission
placed &c. 50,165 worth of high
way work under contract in the
first eight months of this year, a
survey of Commission records from
January 1 to September 1 shows.
This total represents construc-
ton or rehabilitation of 174 miles
of road and is approximately
100000 higher than the award
total reached by the same date
last year.
A breakdown of the 1852 award
figures shows that the jobs given
out included 18 primary construc-
ton projects covering 1876 miles
and costing $7,197,962 and "a
MISUNDERSTANDING projects
covering II miles of highway and
costing $6,76O,965.
In addition, some so miles of
roads, divided among $50 projects
in various parts of the State, are
being improved by Roads Commits
sion crews at cost of 1919, 165.
Including the contracts awarded
since the first of the year and
those on which work was started
prior to 1852, the Commission, as
of the first of September, had 118
jobs in various stages of compile
ton throughout the State.

Editor:
Saturday, September 6, repre-
sented the anniversary of an event
ignored or unknown to all but a
handful of the present day inhabi-
tants of Montgomery County. On
that memorable day l76 years ago,
the State Convention, by a very
small majority, passed a resolu-
ton introduced one week earlier
by DR.. Thomas Sprigg Wootton of
lower Frederick County, providing
for the division of Frederick Coun-
ty into three separate counties.
The upper division was formed in
to Washington County, the center
portion remained Frederick Coun-
ty, and the lower division composed
Montgomery County, which was
named in honor of General Richard
Montgomery, distinguished revo-
lntionary officer who had been
killed only a few months before,
on December 81, ITS, at the battle
of Quebec. This historic resolution
was passed just 62 days after the
adoption of the Declaration Of In
dependence, but by its terms did
not take effect until "after the
first day of October next"
/. The new County of Montgomery
embraced, in addition to its present
area, all that portion of the Dis
trict aof Columbia now lying be-
tween Rock Creek and the Poto-
mac River, including Georgetown,
then thriving river port. Rock
vile, then known only as Mont
gomery Court House and later as
Williamsburg, was designated the
County seat. Not until 1901 was
the County seat called Rockville,
after Rock Creek, and then only
after some debate as to whether
1t should not be called Wattsville,
after Watts Branch, which was fl
nally regarded as too insignificant
a stream for such an honor.
The first courthouse was author
lied by the Levy Court in about
l777 and construction began at
once. The first session of court
was held in the new building in
1779. During construction of the
new building, the court met at
Hungerford's Tavern, which was
the site of the first public meeting

and other such practices. Technical
services and facilities to help farm
ers achieve the output increases
are available at federal, state and
county levels. 4-
The need for greater producti-
particularly important because--jo
witty, the Committee added, is par
ticularly important because while
demand is increasing, the amount
of farm land in the state can be
expected to decline further, The
farm land loss will not be at the
same rate as during the past, 40
years, when a million acres disap-
peared, but the use of farm land
for cities, suburbs, highways and
state and federal projects will
continue.
