Archbishop Says RumOrs False That Princess Will Wed

CAPETOWN, South Africa, R -Dr. Godfrey Fisher, the Arch bishop of Canterbury, said Thurs day there is mo truth whatsoev- err in reports that Princess Mar garet is to marry Group Capt Peter Townsend.
 The archbishop, who arrived in Capetown yesterday, said the ru- mors of romance were most offensive" newspaper stunt.
 Princess Margaret'S name and that of Capt. Townsend have been linked romantically for more than two years. Reports that they were to wed bubbled over into the world press just after she re- turned to London from her Carib- bean tour last month.
 The 24-year-old princess was said in these accounts to be ready to surrender her royal preroga- tives for the love of Townsend, a 4O-year-old divorced commoner. It was his divorce in 1922 that would bring their romance up against the opposition of the Church of England.
 The church bars the remarriage of divorced persons. Dr. Fisher is the top churchman of the Church of England.
 Townsend, now air attache at the British Embassy in Brussels, issued a statement on March IA saying that as far as he knew, Princess Margaret had made no decision to marry him.

Hove You
An Old
Portrait?

The national society Of the
Daughters of the American
Revolution is on a treasure
hunt. But the quest isn't buried
gold.
Somebody's attic would be
the more likely place to look.
The society sent out an
SOS today for lost por-
trait.
Yes, a portrait.
AS part of the organiza-
tons general program of OBJ
serving Constitution Week. it
is asking for a Nationwide
treasure hunt for a portrait OF
Thomas FitzSimons. one of the
signers of the Constitution.
Historians know who he was
and what he did but they don't
know what he looked like. A
friend of George Washington.
Benjamin Franklin. Robert
Morris, George Clymer and
others, FitzSimons was an
sh-born immigrant who
played a prominent role in
securing liberty for America.
One historian described
FitzSimons as "a man Of COM
manding figure. agreeable
manners. though somewhat
stately and reserved"
AS a member of the Com
mittee of Correspondence in
1774, FitzSimmons was the
first Roman Catholic to at
tain municipal Office in Phila-
delphia. He was an officer in
Gen. Washington's army the
night of the crossing of the
ice-caked Delaware.
He became a delegate to
the Constitutional Conven-
tional in December, 1875. He
also assisted in financing the
Revolution and in subse-
quently conducting the finan-
cial affairs of the new nation.
The OAR is appealing to
anyone having or knowing of
a picture of "a distinguished
looking gentleman" Of the
Revolutionary War period
which is yet unidentified.

please communicate with Miss

The Sentinel. the oldest weekly
newspaper in Montgomery Coun-
ty. will celebrate this summer
its Tooth year Of continuous
publication.
The first Sentinel, published
on August II, 1855. was a four
page paper devoted to fighting
politics and a smattering OF
melodramatic fiction. The paper
was founded and operated fol-
decades by Matthew Fields. 9
county farmer and fortnight
Democratic politician.
To celebrate the centennial
event, the Sentinel staff is hard
at work preparing a fat 120-page
edition-"the biggest printing
job ever undertaken in the coun-
ty." Nearly $4,000 copies of the
special edition will be ready for
circulation, the editors hope, on
or about September l.
The old Sentinel, as published
by Mr.. Fields and his descend
ents, grew up in the days of per-
sonal Journalism. It's columns
were crammed with political
essays and its prose style fea-
.tured heavy doses of hyperbole,
classical allusion and elaborate
metaphor.
Backed COnfederates
Editor Fields expressed his
political sentiments in no uncer-
tain terms. During the Civil
War, he was incapable of hiding
his sympathy for the Southern
cause. On several occasions, his
weekly printed Confederate ac-
counts Of battles i'll spite of the
papers proximity to the Federal
Capital. For that and for other
undiluted editorializing. Mr..
Fields was twice jailed.
The paper. however, continued
to appear every week and it was
reliably reported that Mr.. Fields,
during his brief incarcerations.
struggled news copy and etdito-
rails out Of Jail to members of his
family.
In 1922, the 77-year-owner-
ship of the Fields family ended
and the Sentinel was bought by
