A GREAT Book

III refreshing contrast TO the
despair, self hatred and escap-
ism that dominates so much of
the writing promoted to popul-
arity today, Mrs. Hallinan, young
mother Of six fighting Irishmen
and wife of a seventh, gives us
a joyful and optimistic view of
the family life of Americas
leading Progressive, Vincent
Hallinan, candidate for Presi-
dent.
Most of the current literature
about candidates for President
serves only to make their sub
jects look ridiculous. How do
you invest Pendergast product
with the toga of craftsmanship
or make a mediocrity seem
great because he is photogenic
on television and wears unique
headgear. How do you make Mr..
Republican appear honest when
he prattles easily about his de-
votion to civil rights at the very
moment he is leagued in an un-
holy conspiracy with Dixiecrats
filibustering civil rights to
death?
Mrs. Hallinan, a woman of
accomplishment, provides an in
innate and spirited portrayal of
a Progressive family happy and
strong because they love them
selves and love their felloW-nlan
and strengthen themselves
through their constant struggle
to better their environment.
From her frank account of the
turbulent home life of the Hal
linans' energes a picture of the
fierce strength Of win" Hallinan
lawyer, crusader, loving father
whose hatred of corruption, hy-
pocrisy, greed and injustice

lightly, even hilariously of life
as her rogues lead it.
But she pauses long enough
to insist we all recognize there
is no security for the family, no
matter how strong the love and
! solidarity within, if the world
goes to war again and If in
equality and injustice prevail
without. Consequently, not as
a lady bountiful, not out of a
spirit of charity, but as a matter
of self-interest, and with all the
passion of a mother of nature
protecting her offspring from
/ the threat of destruction, Vivian
Hallinan stands by the side OF
her husband, confident, ranging

In Praise Of
. Rev. A. A. Perry

= Nothing could be finer at this
present time than to render
honor to whom honor is due
on this 30th anniversary of Chris
tian Service. and 18th Anniver-
sary of service as Pastor of the
A.M.E. Zion Church, Boston. Rev.
A. A. Perry is deserving of any
commendable remarks m a d e
about him especially for his
whole-hearted efforts and untir-
ing devotion in his work for the
church, am often reminded of
the poets words: 'deeds of great
men oft remind US we can make
our lives sublime and, departing,
leave behind us footprints on
the sands of time" Here is a
man of acknowledged ability, a
fine thinker and an able preach
er. Personally, I am very glad
Of an opportunity to express my
appreciation for having the privi-
lege to work and labor with the
Rev. Mr.. Perry. I find him to
be a real christian gentleman and
a broad big-hearted soul. We
feel that we have been benefited
more than we can express, especi-
ally by the messages he has
preached from time to time
through the Spirit of the Lord
Jesus. 1t has been my pleasure
to sit and listen to him very care
fully and prayerfully. / receive
much inspiration and help in my
christian life and by the grace
of God can say as did Job of
old-I know that my redeemer
liveth." I hold high regards for
Rev, Perry because a few years
ago led by our Sister Mary
Lowery a small group of Sisters
came together and wanted to or
ganize a Prayer Band and he
approved of it and gave permits
sion. It did not work so well
with some Of the members be-
cause it was held on a Saturday
night. But it was the will Of
God and that is why we are
still pressing onl It is just an
old fashioned humble prayer
meeting, a mountain-top hour
with the Lord. In the Book of
Chronicles 7-14 here is what the
Lord has spoken through his
servant, King Solomon; "If my
people which are called by my
name shall humble themselves
and pray and seek My face and
turn from their wicked ways then
will I hear from heaven and will
forgive their sins and will heal
their land" Here is what the
Lord said: "Now mine eyes shall
be open and my ears attend unto
the prayer that is made in this
place; and in Book of Psalms
Of David l02: 18th verse "hear
where He tells us he will not
despise the destitute in prayer.
What a wonderful promise. The
word of the poet ssy-"From
every stormy wind that blows,
from every swelling tide of woes,
there is a calm, a sure retreat:
'tis found beneath the mercy
seat"
We sincerely pray for our pas
tor, Rev. Perry, and say May
the blessing Of Our Heavenly
Father abide with him in all
richness until he sees Him face
to face"

Sailor Lies Injured
For Hours Before
Rescue al Great Falls

Rescue squadsmen worked for
nearly three hours late yesterday
to save 25-year-o sailor who
lay injured on an island just below
Great Falls, after he had fallen
more than so feet from steep
cliff.
Roy Demaris, hospital corpsman
&c. suffered a broken right leg
and ankle and possible internal
injuries in the accident. He was
admitted to Bethesda Naval Hos
pital. where he is assigned, after
being rushed there by the Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase rescue squad
ambulance.
It took the combined efforts of
nearly a dozen men to get him off
Falls Island. a small sandy beach
between two sections Of water on
the Maryland side.
The rescuemen from the Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase squad and
the Glen Echo rescue squad were
waved to the scene by 17-year-old
Jimmy jackson, who traversed
many feet of swirling water to
reach rock from which he could
see the injured man.
Mr.. Demaris, in pain and with
his leg soaked in blood, screamed
futilely for help for more than
two hours before he was heard by
persons on the Virginia side of the
river. The roar of the falls made
it difficult for the sailors cries
to be heard. =
He apparently tripped over his
fishing rod and fell down the cliff
while he was fishing alone. Mr..
Demaris eventually rugged some
brown paper on a stick and waved
this makeshift flag as he cried for
help.
Because of the broken terrain
it was difficult for the rescue men
to find Mr.. Demaris. Finally he
was seen, lying on the island, by
Pvt. Edward o. Downs of the
Bethesda Chevy Chase squad.
After taking off his shoes, Pvt
Downs descended more than SOC
yards down a slope near the cliff
and made his way through the
water to reach the beach where
the injured sailor lay.

BALTIMORE. Aug. 16. The
State Department of Forests and
Parks wants Maryland to do its
own developing along historic old
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
It is opposed to getting the
State involved in a scheme to
make the canal part of a Federal
parkway from the District OF
Columbia to Cumberland.
The alternative plan was out
lined by Joseph F. Kaylor, director
of forests and parks, in a letter
to the State Planning Commission.
He pointed out Maryland might
have to spend as much as Sc or
ST million to carry out its part
of the proposed federal parkway.

"for Maryland to spend the money

line, at the Antietam aqueduct
Falling Waters, Fort Frederick
and Fort Tonoloway in Washing
ton County, and in an Allegheny

from Paw Paw, w. Va"
Mr.. Kaylor called the idea OF

Through the village and down to

Scenes were arranged to depict
episodes in Galesville history. One

public.
One was Tulip Hill. built in

He said it would prevent industri-

Washington Surveyed Canal.
The old canal, surveyed by
George Washington, runs from
Georgetown to Cumberland.
The Federal Government has
been operating a short stretch of
it, from Georgetown to Great
Falls. as a national park.
The Government, which owns
about 5000 acres along the canal,
has asked Maryland to acquire
another 10000 and turn it over to
the National Park Service fol the
Parkway to Cumberland.
1t was estimated this would
cost the State 81 ,6OO, 900, but Mr..
Kaylor said in his letter to the
Planning Commission that increas-
ing land values probably would
lift the figure to $6 or 81 million.
Maryland's General Assembly in
1851 turned the whole proposal
over to the State Roads Commits
sion, the Board of Natural Re-
sources and the Planning Com
mission for a study.
The Natural Resources Board
last month adopted a resolution
opposing the idea and declaring it
would be to the best interests OF
Maryland if lands along the canal
were turned back to the State.

Hearing Set Monday
On Pepco Station at
|Westmore|and Circle

A hearing on a Potomac Electric
Power Co.'s application to erect
a transformer station on West
moreland Circle just across the
District line, Montgomery County,
will be held on Monday by the new
Montgomery County Board of APP
peals.
The hearing, the first session
of the board, is slated for 3 pm.
in the County Building in Be-
thesda.
The building would be erected
on a vacant lot between Massa-
chuSetts and Western avenues.
The Appeals Board must act on
the application, since the build
ing would be a special exception
in the residential A area.
Designed Like Residence.
According to the application,
the building would be a two-story
brick structure of Georgian Co
lonial design. It will have a one
story wing on the right and a
steel frame structure in the rear.
A Pepco official said the build
ing has been designed to give the
appearance of being a private res
idence. Curtains will hang at the
windows and the rooms will be
lighted at night so the building
will not appear to be a vacant
house.
The building will house no NOV
ing equipment, according to the
application. Pepco officials said
the building alone will cost some
$25 900.
Hedge for Screening.
Pepco has a number of similar
distribution, or transformer, sta
tions in residential sections
throughout the District area.
Most, however, cost about $4,000
each to erect.
Pepco said the company would
provide suitable shrubs and
hedges to screen in the switching
structure in the rear of the build
ing.
The Appeals Board, which to-
day supersedes the Board of Zon-
ing Appeals. has authority to per-
NIT such structures in any area
where it deems them necessary
and convenient for rendition of
Ia public utility's service. The
board, however, can require such
conditions it feels are necessary
to protect surrounding property
values.
