Brother Benedict Simon, OF
Monastery here, who was takenT
from the Andrea Doria, was in
St. Vincent's Hospital where he
was repeatedly suffering from
nervous shock.
He was returning to WASH
ington to celebrate his golden
jubilee as brother of the or
der. He is 70.
Mrs. Nicholas Lederle. former
ly of 4119 Military road NV,
and her 6-year-old son, Neal,
were taken aboard the lie de
France along with Brother
Benedict.
Brother Benedict's presence
aboard the Andrea Doria was
due to someone else canceling
a reservation.
From Arlington, Mrs. Ruth
Hodges, an interior decorator of
ITO South Oak street, who was
en- route to Paris aboard the
, French liner, said the fog horns
on the big ship were blaring
when she first looked through a
portfolio and saw the Italian
liner listing badly.
Many Passengers Hurt
She said survivors began COM
ing aboard and that she rushed
to the deck in pajamas and a
bathrobe to help In between
trips to the infirmary and as
slsting in placing injured in deck
chairs. she said she returned to
her cabin and put on shorts-to
give her pajamas and robe to
almost unclad survivors.
Many of the survivors," she
said, were smeared with oil and
there were a number of injured
pass engers. Women were
screaming for their husbands
and children-and a number of
men we're frantically looking for
their wives"
She said blankets and pillows
were brought to the deck for the
survivors. Perhaps the worse in
jured she saw was Mrs. Camille
Cianfarra, whose husband and
one child we're killed in the
collision, she said.
Mrs. Hodges said many pas
sengers on the lie de France and
crew members helped with the
survivors. giving them baskets of
fruit, coffee and clothes.
Panic Averted
She said she learned from a
number of the victims that
overall there was no panic
aboard the Andrea Doria." She
added. however, that there
should be some sort of inter-
national language SO that all
people could understand each
other"
Mrs. Hodges added, too, that
it would be better if interna-
tional law were changed so that
husbands and their families
should not be separated. 1T
would be better for everybody,
she said.
She noted that most of the
agony was created by families
being separated.
They just kept calling for
each other" she said.
Cuts Voyage Short
Mrs. Hodges. who had just be-
gun a months vacation to be
with house guest in Paris, said
she got off the ship when it re-
turned to New York completely
tired"
She added that she decided to
return home because of the anx-
iety that may have been caused
her family if she continued on
to Paris. 1T would have been
selfish of me to go ahead" she
said. She was met at Union
Station by her husband about
1880 last night. The couple has
four children.
Mrs. Hodges said fund was
started among passengers on
the lie de France to help sur

Thew Turned The Tables

One of the finest displays of
spirit and harmony that | have seen
in Garrett county was last week
at the Farming for Better Living
banquet 1t has always been an out
standing exchange of good will and
understanding but the farmers and
their wives have been on the re-
ceiving end as gifts and the dinner
have been donated by business
people.
True to character, the rural
people just couldn't take all the
intake without any outgo. So they
decided to turn the tables on their
hosts and bring them gifts.
Tables loaded with store" gifts
at one end of the cafeteria were
over-balanced by gifts at the other
end of home made or home grown
ones. Twas a table of bounty real
ly. Dressed chickens, cartons OF
eggs, boxes of vegetables, bags OF
potatoes, apples, collections of jel-

ly breads, rolls, sweet buns and
cakes, maple syrup and on and on.
Packages done with exhibit pre-
cision showing pride in workman
ship and love of giving.
Every non-farmer received a
gift and the spirit was akin to
Christmas. Like little boy getting
his favorite toy was Mr. A. d. Nay
lor with his quart of dried corn
and truly old fashioned bread
rolls. Still boy-like, he couldn't
wait for meal time SO he started
chewing on the corn and telling
folks around him that no one in
the room could have been as lucky
as he.
