Just Be Yourself,
Glenn Miller ToId
Johnny Desmond
BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK,

NEW YORK.
Singer Johnny Desmond on
ABC's radio and television
Breakfast Club" says one Of
the darkest moments in his
life turned out to be the most
beneficial to his career.
Johnny had enlisted in the
Air Force and had been
transferred to the Yale cam
pus where the late Capt.
Glenn Miller was stationed.
Johnny, after missing two
chances because of illness,
finally got a chance to sing on
radio with the Glenn Miller
band. He thought he had done
all right but not long after
ward got a bawling out from
Miller.
HE said to me-" Johnny re-
called on a recent trip here,
Look. If I want to get Sin
atra I'll get him. He'll be
drafted soon. I want a new
kind of singer who doesn't
sound like everybody else. I
want Won tn sound like Johnny
Desmond"
1.-THE following week." he
says, II decided to sing the
way I felt and have been doing
so ever since. I hadn't been
patterning my singing after
any one else deliberately, but
! guess all of us are uncon-
sciously influenced by the lead
ing singers at the time"
When the Miller organiza-
ton went to Europe, Desmond
achieved a popularity far be-
yond what he had enjoyed
before the war as a singer
with Bob Crosby and with
Gene Krupa, and his career
has been on the upbeat since.
The dark haired singer had
one Of the early TV network
musical shows, Face the
Music" on CHS. and for the
past five and a half years has
been a regular on Breakfast
Club" from Chicago. He has
a number Of hit records, and
early next year is due to go
to Hollywood to star in a
movie on the life Of the late
Russ Columbia.

ONE WORD
Can Change Your Life
By REV. ROBT. OLEWILER
Pastor, Grace Reformed Church
Washington, D. c.



1t doesn't pay to shut God out
of your tensions
Or. Clarence Sidenspinner, in his
new book called, Give God A
Chance Now" tells of man who
became so irritated because his
wife took a job to supplement the
family income and to help get out
Of debt that he beat her. Dr. Siden-
spinner also points to the woman
who nagged her husband into COM
pulsive drinking. If the husband
relaxed by putting his feet up on
a chair, if he left the light on in
the basement, if he went out into
the kitchen to make coffee and
failed to leave the kitchen in inn
maculate condition. she became
furious. Finally, the nagging drove
him to the tavern. His nervous
system couldn't easily cope with
the drinking and the poor wife
wondered why she had an alcoholic
ON her hands"
In both of these instances, God
was shut out Of the situation and
that's where so many of us 90
wrong. BE wise and give God a
chance in your tensions, the word
that can change your life.

Dear Sir:
In further connection with my
letter published in your paper a
short time ago, | enclose a map
put out by the State with shaded
sections showing State ownership
of each county. Compare the vast
holdings i'm Garrett County lover
100000 acres worth, it is estimated,
over $500, 000D with small sec
tions in other counties state-owned.
Note that Garrett County holdings
lead all other counties by at least
IS percent.
So-fellow taxpayers, here is the
answer to the excessive tax rate
in Garrett County! A recent letter
from the State Fiscal Department
shows tax rates in every county,
running from $1.34 in Hartford,
$3.50 i'm Washington County, to
$1.9S in counties near Washington
because they are metropolitan in
population and service, but Gar
rett County tips the scales at 81
and that seems to be based on ac-
tual cost value. This makes those
