mand, at Yorktown, he served
term in the Continental Congress,
confirming by intimate expert
ence his theoretical understand
ing of the challenge Of a new
government.
Hamilton, more than any other
one man, contributed to the adop-
ton of the Constitution as we
have it now, through his magnifi-
cent contributions in the Federal
ist Papers, and his political activi-
ties in New York to assure the
adherence of that powerful State.
A similar victory against ap-
parently insuperable odds was
won by Hamilton under the new
government, when George Wash
ington again expressed his confid-
ence in him by appointing him
Secretary of the Treasury.
Against Congressional and ad-
ministration opposition, he plan
ned and put into effect compli-
Gated system of taxation, finance,
and control of credit, from which,
as Daniel Webster put it, "abund-
ant streams of revenue gushed+
forth"
Alexander Hamilton's contribu-
tions to the founding of this Ma
ton, his courage and energy, his
intellectual keenness and heart
felt eloquence, his integrity and
his wisdom in the science of gov
ernment, might well serve as
model to all of us in meeting our
problems of today.

her debut with the Pasdeloup
Orchestra, a success which
brought subsequent appearances
with the other orchestras in her
native city and engagements in
Brussels.
After the fall of France, she
continued her career, an innocent
cover for brave work in the Un-

Our High School Bands

school bands from suburban Maryland and couldn't help
placing those from Montgomery at the bottom of the list

Alexander Hamilton, the bicen-
tennial of whose birth we are
now observing, stands high
among our founding fathers. AS
a school boy of seventeen he be-
gan speaking and writing in sup
port of the Colonial cause, show
ing a grasp of issues and com
prehension of the philosophy of
government, that made him at
once a feared enemy to the 10y
alist opposition, and a valued
member of the band of patriots
that spanked the Revolution.
His military skill and boldness
early in the Revolutionary War
attracted the attention of Wash.
ington, who attached him to his
own staff. Thus was Hamilton
able to give full scope to his
grasp of political affairs, and rem.
der invaluable aid to the general
in-chief upon whom fell the duties
of secretary of war and chief OF
staff, as well as commander in
the field.
Hamilton assisted the /organiza
ton of the army, by drafting
plans for the correction of de.
fects, and by preparing compre-
hensive set of military regula.
tions. In the midst of these mill.
tary functions, Hamilton was de-
voting his powerful mind to the
problems of government.

Was First Step
The decision to name the coun-
ty after Gen. Montgomery was
unique in that it was the first
time a republican municipality
was named for other than Eng
fish families or places.
At the time of his death, Gen.
Montgomery enjoyed the reputa-
ton of being one of Americas
best officers. He also had repre-
scented Duchess county, N. Y, in
the Provincial Congress. He had
married a judges daughter and
settled in Rhinebeck. He was 80
years old when he rode into his
last battle.
Richard Montgomery was born
in Raphoe, Ireland, and was com
missioned an officer in the Brit
ish Army when he was 10. He
fought with the British Gen.
Wolfe in the French-Indian wars
in 1859. He remained in Canada
until 1863 when he revisited Eu-
rope.
He emigrated to New York in
1913 and was married. 1t was
while he was living in Rhinebeck
that he was given command of
colonist troops against Quebec.
He was destined to die on the
same ground over which he and
Gen. Wolfe fought so CALAMITY
IA years before.
His remains lay buried and for

Rockville
City Makes
Driveway
Plan Easy.

Rockville residents have an OPP
portunity to get a driveway or
off-street parking area at their
homes for bargain rates.
Here's the way the program
works:
The city has set up $1,000 in a
revolving fund to loan hometown
ers who want to build concrete
aprons across the curb and side
walks to their property. The loan
is spread out over five-year pc
riod.
A. B. Veirs, Inc, Rockville paw
ing firm, has won the contract to
do the work. Twenty-six home
owners have signed up so far.
The city will loan the home
owners the money to build the
apron only. The homeowner must
arrange his own financing for the
driveway which starts at his prop
erty line where the apron ends.
The average apron costs about
SIPS, Veirs said this week, and
the average minimum cost of the
driveway, or off-street parking
area, is about $50. This means
the homeowner can get apron and
driveway for little more than
$500, with most or all of it fl
nanced over a long period.
In addition, Veirs pointed out,
he can give the homeowner a bet
ter price on his driveway if he
will do it at the same, time the
equipment is there building the
apron. Also, he said, agreement
by several homeownerS in a Civ
en- neighborhood to go ahead with
the job while the machinery is
there would reduce the price still
further.
Only $1,000 remains in the city
appropriation for this program.
Public Works Director William c.
Vaughan estimated only 16 more
property owners could be accom-
modated under this years appro-
priation.
