leaves the old West Union road.
Mrs. Francis Scott Key died early
in 1859, but Mrs. Charles Howard
and various members Of her family
returned. They were already taking
root in Oakland. OF course, between
1860 and 1865 no one could travel
owing to the Civil War, but in 1868
or 1869 the Towards returned, rent
ing a house on Oak Street, where
in 1869, Charles Howard died.
In 1870 Alice Key Howard,
daughter of Mrs. Charles Howard,
bought from a man named Stabler
a four room hunting lodge with
separate kitchens, standing in a
dense grove of oaks, many Of whose
survivors still surround the present
house.
Even in my memory there was
an oak grove with a path through
it where the present Shafer built
house now stands. Several additions
and wings were built before the
original four room lodge became
the low rambling red structure,
now known as 70 Alder Street.
Willed by Alice Key Howard to
her niece, Elizabeth B. Howard, its
present owner, it was for eighty
years the summer home Of many
of Francis Scott Keys grandchil-
dren and great grandchildren.
One grandson, John Ross Key, a
notable painter, especially Of noun
tain scenery, was d frequent Wis
itor, and one of his paintings Of
"The Old County Bridge" was long

FRANCIS SCOTT KEYS
FAMILY IN OAKLAND, MD.
By Julia McHenry Howard

In 1925, Elizabeth Phoebe Key,
the eldest child of Francis Scott
Key, married Charles Howard, the
youngest son of General John
Eager Howard. Most Of the people
mentioned below are, or were, their
children or grandchildren.
In 1857, Mrs. Charles Howard
elizabeth Phoebe Key) and her
children and her mother, the widow
Of Francis Scott Key, We're spend
ing a very hot summer in the hotel
at the Relay. The B. & o. had not
been running through to the Ohio
River, and to see the late after
noon train come through from the
west was quite an event. One at
teInoon, q steward, formerly a
butler in Mrs. Towards home,
stepped off the coach for a
minute, and recognizing Mrs. How
ard, told her that they had, that
morning, come through a place
where the ladies were walking up
and down the platform wearing
blankets, shawls, and the station
railing was hung with rattlesnaIe
skins.
Next morning Mrs. Howard and
Mrs z. S. Key boarded the train
for Oakland. They stayed for some
weeks at the old Glades Hotel.
In 1853, they went again, doubt
less taking other members of the
family with them. This time they
stayed ON a farm, known as Bitzer's

Many members Of the family

ard first. in 1894. Since then, Mrs.
McIIenry Howard in 1908, McHenry
Howard in 1929, and their daughter
May Howard in 1913.
A very deep love for Oakland
and Garrett County is born into,
and inherited by, all the descend
ants of Francis Scott Key, who
have spent their summers at ~
Alder street, and though for the
past two years the present writer
is the only member Of the family
to get there, and that, in all too
short a stay, yet it is always with
deep sense Of Homecoming, OF
belonging in great part to Gar
rctt County, that return.

has "a lesson TO learn for all hu
Rabbi Schur, the author of the
letter, tells that Father Hugh IL,
Bode. assistant pastor of Our Lady
OF Fatima Church here, was drlV-
ing to Akron To pay visit to his
when he noticed an auto
overturned in ditch. Re
turning TO the scene, the priest
helped TO extricate a Jewish rabbi
and his wife. whose car had skid
ded on the ice, had struck a pole
and then overturned.
Father Bode drove the victims
some miles to the nearest hospital
The priest waited until it was as
certained that the injuries sustain
ed by the couple were not 100 sefl-
ous and then took over again and
drove the rabbi and his wife to
their home in Cleveland Heights
The accident occurred at 3 p.
m, and Father Bode took leave of
his new friends at 3 o'clock. He
made the visit with his mother
by telephone
Father Bode had impressed upon
the couple that no fuss was TO be
made about the assistance he had
given, but Rabbi Schur said he
thought all the citizens of Cleve-
land ought to know what a price

is"
The incident occurred on the

purpose is to acquaint non-Catho-

The course of lectures and dis
cussions is intended in the first
place, for non-Catholics generally,
and also for converts and prospec-

as "refreSher course" in religion
for Catholics also. In many in

Chief Foe Of Catholic Press
Is Communism, Budenz Says

DENVER-(NC) - The Catholic
journalist has a special opportun-
ity and obligation TO carry forward
Catholic principles into American
life against the time spirit" of the
present day, Louis Francis Budenz
told the Association of Catholic
School Press Relations here.
"This requires. above all" Mr..
Budenz asserted, intelligent and
effective opposition to atheistic
communism, the major challenge
To our times. If we were living in
the 18th century we would have
the solemn responsibility of com
batting Jansenism and its poison
Gus influences: we're ours the 18th
century, we would have a similar
duty TO offset Voltairian 'Enlight-
enment' ideas.
"In this second half of the 20th
century Catholic journalists have
a chief foe to destroy, Soviet com
munism, with which there can be
no concessions or compromise" "
"The secular press in general
presents an unintelligent and un-
ineligible view Of communism.
On the whole it lodges the nature
of communism. evading the inten-
ton of the Stalinites TO prove that
God does not exist by creating an
earthly paradise from which the
Almighty has been banished
without a clear grasp of this
nature of communism, we are all
at sea, without any efficient means
OF meeting it and defeating 1t. For
il is from the falsehood of this
first premise that all the horrors
OF broken pledges by Soviet com
follow. And it is this es-
sence of communism which makes
i fatal TO seek appeaSement OF 1t
or c0ntainment or any other ae-
commodation with it,"
Mr.. Budenz, now on the Ford
ham University faculty, said the
secular press too often has pub
Iished the views of commentators
or columnistS who have given aid
