The Snyder family was pros
pering, the boys growing up to
become as skillful as their father.
When the road was built from
the Neelsville church to barnes
town in 1849 the Snyders helped
to build it. This was the begin
ming of Old Germantown. Other
Germans settled near-the Rich
ters, the Nets, and the Stangs.
When two or three homes We're
built, they began to call it Ger
man-town. The first official use
Of this name came much later.
GermantoWn's first store was
below the Arnold home, being op-
Grated by a Mr.. Lowe who died
around the year 1845 or 1850.
Then came RoSenmier and Adler.
This store did we'll before being
raided during the Civil War by
soldiers under General Banks.
After the war closed the store
was reopened by Mr.. Joshua Dor
sey who was later succeeded by
Mr.. Horace D. Waters. The lat.
ter's son, Mr.. Julian B. Waters,
has among his priceless papers
many of the old accounts with
names and items purchased by the
early settlers. Believe me, they
purchased much less freely than
we moderns!
The charter for the Metropoli-
tan Branch of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad CB&O to so many,
was granted in 1865, the road
being completed in 1873. When
the deepest cut on the road was
cut through Mr.. Leaman's farm
it ruined his fine spring. All that
was left was tiny stream flow
ing through the cut, flowing past
the station, the Germantown Sta
tion-the New Germantown.
Mr.. F. c. Chopper gave the land
where the station buildings stand
1t was always a most swampy
place, and the drainage has al
ways puzzled the engineers.
Until the railroad came through
there was no post office. So, in
1873, the Germantown post office
was born. Taking the name of
the railroad station it became
Germantown Post office in New
Germantown, the old settlement
becoming Old Germantown.
The foregoing facts were writ
ten by Miss Annie Baker in the
year 1871. She was one of the old
est inhabitants of Germantown.
We are also indebted to Miss
Patricia Browning, graduate of
Richard Montgomery High School,
an honor student in the class of
1915. Her mother very graciously
loaned us her daughters fine note
book which contains some very
good pictures of the town, as well
as the many fine points of early
history found above.
Germantown has three lovely
churches: Neelsville Presbyterian,
Trinity Methodist, and German
town Baptist, which started in
DarnestoWn as a mission of the
Rockville Baptist Church in the
year 1860, becoming a full-fledged
church in 1864. The original build
ing still stands. The beautiful
new church was constructed in
1854. There is also a very old
Catholic Church at Choppers near
by.
There is only one large general
store in New Germantown which
Is owned and operated by Mr.. Bill
Clements. Old Germantown has
one store also, operated. by Mrs.
James Hungerford.
Our Germantown bank was
opened for business in 1922 with
capital of $4,000 and today en-
joys a much greater amount of
business.
We have a very modern grade

There have been, and are, difficulties
between Miss Taylor and her family. She
was for a brief period estranged from
them. They are not ordinary stage par
entS. but people Of refinement and cul-
ture. Her father is an art dealer; her
mother a former actress. They met in
Kansas, but Elizabeth was born in
London where her father ran an art
gallery.
They did not unduly force her growth.
She was natural child prodigy. She was
brilliant in school, and secretly hated her
good marks. She gave the appearance Of
being extremely docile = she fooled her
own parents - when she was in COM
plete state Of rebellion. Her only friends
during this period were - quite Seri-
ously - the meek, shy, wild little crea-
lures Of the woods; chipmunkS, turtles,
rabbits, birds. Her pets even included an
owl. She had an uncanny way with these
jittery animals. She could initiate their
calls, and they would come to her.
She carried pet chipmunk with her

in the pocket OF her coat When il died,
she wrote book about it, 'Nibbles And
Me-" which was completely charming.
II was illustrated with her own draw
ines. which were surprisingly good.
Did you actually write that book?"
we asked her. She was not annoyed.
''Yes, and did the drawings, too.
Cant draw a straight line now" she
added, hoping we would believe her.
Given this unusual child Of talent and
beauty, perhaps her mother did push too
hard - easy to do because Elizabeth did
not protest. But the difficulties with her
parents were not Of the sort that develop
deep completes. Hers is the fate perhaps
Of any child prodigy. Anyway, the search
for father is not one Of her problems.
Her first date - we were accidentally
present when il was made - was with
young Tommy Breen, lad who had lost
his leg in the war, and was not over the
shock of it. She was l6, he was 10.
Engaged To Be Engaged"
Her later dates were also with young
sters - Arthur Loew, Jr.; Peter Law
ford, Glenn Davis = and all somewhat
frivolous. I'VE are engaged TO be en-
gagged, she said, giggling over her much
publicized romance with Davis. When
he went off to war, she got herself dis
engaged.
She first married Nicky Hilton, who
had reputation as playboy. 1t was her
second marriage, TO Michael Wilding.
that gave rise to the father-complex
theory. That, and her present engage
ment TO Michael Todd, who is in his
middle 4O's.
Wilding has grave and dignified look
and manner, but - in his own British
way - he proved as Eighty as she.
Indeed, it was Elizabeth, according to
all reports. who had to take the family
finances in hand.
AS for her romance with Michael
Todd - his testimony is the best refuta-
ton Of the father search"
IF Elizabeth wanted an older man,
she should have married my son. He is
the sober member of the family" It's
true that Todd, producer of the fabu-
lousy successful Around The World
In Eighty Days." has reputation for
being a lighthearted, even somewhat
screwball type himself.

theories that she was either taking her
ailments, or else that they were of psy-
choSomatic origin.
'Hystefical, commented the anna
teur psychiatrists when Elizabeth would
moan in agony during the shooting of a
scene.
No Father Complex
See they would gloat when - imme-
diately afterward - Elizabeth would
flounce off the set, as frisky as you
please, all of her pain forgotten.
But it was in the nature Of her injury,
as anyone with crushed disc could tell
you, that she should suffer excruciating
pain one instant, and immediate relief
the next. The pressure on the nerve is
touch and go.
There are other misconceptions about
Miss Taylor that could stand correcting.
The published theory, for example, that
she is attracted to older men because she
is in search Of father, on account Of
her troubles at home.

and asked if it meant allowing such
development as the Cabinet Gorge
Dam, authorized by bill signed by
Bonner when he was governor. That
dam, located just across the line in
Idaho, uses Montana water, but con-
tributes nothing to the State of Mon
tana, either in tax revenues or power
reservation for use in this state.

Montana's delegation in Washing
ton, D. c., was represented by Cong.
Lee Metcalf who said the delegation
would consider the bill when deter
mination had been made of the senti-
ment of the valley, the feasibility of
the project, and when Montana is
assured of reservation of at-site pow

On both sides of the river develop
ment question there was imprisoned
oratory; there were quotes from his
torical figures, even an Aesop fable.
there was humor that lifted Che hear

both sides, and there were heated
charges and counter-charges.
The pro-Paradise group present
ed their case in well-ordered man
ner; the opponents followed a pat
tern of seemingly well-planued
chaos.
Statements from two longtime
residents, elderly women residing in
the planned |inundation area, favored
the dam because it would mean de-
velopment and progress for western
Montana and it's people They did not
believe they should stand in the way
of anything that would assure great
future for their grandchildren.
Others, however, were not willing
to leave their homes.

42nd FL Convention
Draws Large Turnout

GREAT FALLS - An estimated
1000 delegates, members and visitors
were on hand Wednesday morning
when President Leonard KenfielC
gavelled the 42nd annual convention
of Montana Farmers Union to order
here in the Civic Center arena.
Headline speakers the first two
days of the convention were Oregon
Sen. Wayne Morse, Cong. Lee Met
calf, Gordon Roth, st. Paul, pinch
hitting for Flu Grain Terminal Asso-
citation general manager, M. w.
Thatcher; Tom Steichen, ST. Paul,
Flu Central Exchange general mana
ger.
Other speakers the first two days
included James S. TIMBER, Montana
State AFL-CIO president; Ernest
Salvas, Mine-Mill District 1 board
member; MFU attorney P. ]. Gil
feather, Ted Townsend, Editor MFC
News; MFU secretary Ralph Cook,
Glenn Long, head of Flu Marketing
Association; William Artz, MFU aIdi-
tor; A. w. Platt, president, Alberta
Farmers Union.
Cong. Metcalf told the convention
that by 1875 "our demand for water
for homes, industries and farms will
be double that of today. Now we are
concerned about storage for flood
control and irrigation" He also en-
phasized that should the COP admin
istration be successful in it's attempt
to give away Hells Canyon we will all
regret it eventually, for it would rob
us of flood control, future water sup
ply and badly needed low-cost power
for farm and industry.
Viewing the demands of our grow
ing population from another angle,
Metcalf said by 1875 the nation will
need almost one-third more food and
fiber than now. "The tidal wave of
will inundate us" unless
we step up instead of cutting back
agricultural research and reclamation
The Congressman also said we must
realistically face up to the growing
classroom shortage, and pointed out
