To love his fellowmen sin

To act from honest motives

To trust in God and Heaven

Beach apartment where Holland
was employed by Snyder Some
eight months later, Snyder shot
Mrs. Carey, his landlady.
Represented by Attorney Everett
F. Warrington, Holland had pleaded
not guilty when originally ar
raigned and his case was brought
TO trial Dec. 30 before a jury. Af-
ter two days of testimony, the
jury took only half an hour to
bring in a verdict of guilty.
Attorney Warrington Immediately
asked for deferred sentence while
he prepared to ask for a new trial
In court Tuesday, Attorney War;
lington said that he would like to
withdraw his motion for a new
trial and Judge Charles S. Richards
ordered its withdrawal.
Seldom has case aroused tho
public intensity that accompanied
this particular trial in which Hol-
land, Negro. was accused by Mrs.
Rogers Of assaulting her severely
before the robbery.
Judge Richards made reference
to this assault before passing SEN
tence. He said that the amount
named in the robbery was small
l-$5-but the robbery included an
assault against a LADY" and that
it was the duty of the court to
protect the people of the county
against such acts.
Il know that you denied this as
sault", he said, "but the jury found
you guilty.
Mrs. Rogers testified It the trial
that her husband, Warren, has left
for his work at a chicken plant
very early on the morning of
Sept. z and that man called out
to her and banged on the door
stating that he was looking for her
husband.
She said that sometimes one Of
his workers would miss connec-
tions with her husband and come
to her for directions, and that she
thought her early morning visitor
was one of these. When she opened
the door. Mrs. Rogers, said, the
man whom she identied as HoI-
land, pushed into the house and
began attacking her, hitting her
with candlesticks and eventually
taking $5 from her purse and
leaving hurriedly.
Most of the case hung on the time
element involved, it being the con-
tention of the state that Holland
would have had plenty of time to
have taken a back road and gotten
to his job on time and the defense
insisting that it would have been
impossible for him to have stopped
at the Rogers home and arrived at
Bethany Beach when he did.
In addition to the Snyders and
Careys, Hollands wife testified in
his defense, at his trial

Offers Suggestions
On Ladder Safety

Every farm has many uses for
ladders of several different kinds
step. straight, and extension. And
because ladders become involved
in many accidents, County Agent
George Vapaa, lists the following
rdo's and don't's of ladder safety" :"
The DOS:
Select right ladder for the job
and set it properly before climbing.
Tie or have someone hold ladder
when used where it is likely to slip.
Face ladder when either ascend
ing or descending.
Work facing ladder and hold on
with one hand.
Hook leg over rung If necessary
to work with both hands.
Store ladders where they can be
secured quickly in case of fire or
other emergency.
Make sure step ladder is fully
spread and locked with all four
legs resting on level base before
using.
Select step ladders high enough
to permit standing at least two
steps from top when working.
The DON'Ts:
Never overload ladder; it is built
to carry only one person at a time.
Avoid using makeshift climbing
aids or. ladders too short for the
job.
Never over-reach when working
on a ladder; take time to move it..
Don't climb a ladder when shoes
are covered with snow, mud or
grease.
Never use ladder at fiat angle
or in a horizontal position. 1t can
easily be overloaded in this posi-
ton.
Never drop a ladder; it is easily
damaged.
Never leave a ladder standing
where ii may fall or tempt chill
dren to climb.
Never carry bulky tools or ma
terials when ascending or descend
ing ladder.

John Marshall, The Great
Chief Justice whose bicenten-
NAL is being celebrated through
cut the United States this month,
is generally credited with hav-
ing made a greater contribution
to the foundations of this coun-
try as great Nation than many
a better-known parsonage OF hls
time or since.
Born September "a, 1855, IN a
frontier farm log cabin IN what
Is now Fauquier County IN Viz
gii1ia, the eldest of fifteen chill
dren, Marshall had little if any
formal education, yet after his
service as an officer in the Rev.
olGtion became one of Virginla's
most successful lawyers and
then, as Chief Justice, was the
Nations first powerful expositor
of the principles Of American
Constitutional Government.
Marshall served as Chief JUS
tice under six presidents from
1901 to his death in 1885. He is
universally recognized as our
greatest Chiel Justice and for
having enuSciated and firmly
established the doctrine of Fed
eral supremacy over State au-
thority under the Constitution,
the doctrine of implied powers"
by which the Supreme Court
ruled that the Government has
powers in addition to those spe-
cificaily named in the CoEstitu-
ton, and the authority of the
Court to invalidate these acts of
the Congress and the Executive
which it deems to be IN conflict
with the Constitution.
In the leadership that he pro-
vided the country and in the
more than 500 decisions which
he personally wrc te, Marshall is
credited with laying the fouada-
ton of much of modern Govern
ment and with es tablishing the
Supreme Court. IL early days re-
garded as a rels lively minor
branch of Government, as in
fact coequal with the Executive
and Legislatures and the great
est appellate tribun al in history.
AS Chief Justice Warren said
of him, "Stone by stone he built
the foundation of our constitu-
tional structure. nd he con-
structed it sufficiently strong to
support everything we have
since built upon it,"
OF his appointme mt of Mar
shall as Chief Justic e, ex-presi-
dent John Adams, a quarter
century later, wrote, "My gift of
John Marshall to tn people of
the United States was the proud
est act Of my life"
Speaking in Philad elphia, Pres
ident Eisenhower said, "John
Marshall was so ldier in the
War for Independe nee, a Con-
gresham, diplomat of out
standing ability, Secretary of
State. But his reputation for
greatness most firm ly rests on
his services as Chief Justice of
the United States -. He made of
the Constitution Wit al, dynamic,
deathless charter for free and
orderly living in the United
a Presidential D reclamation
issued in July of thi s year cited
Marshall as a soldier, r, diplomat,
