however. many matters still
must be decided by the legisla-
ture.
Baltimore County adopted a
charter last fall.
One explanation for the large
number of bills introduced by
Montgomery lawmakers in this

ter in 1948 seems TO have spurreC

year had been a momentous one
in conservation history.
THE good forestry and Wild
life provisions in the Soil Bank
Act are there because the con-
servationists across the country
united to put them there" he
said The forestry provisions
are being im5lemented. but SC
Tar the wfidli.e provisions have

hope that during the next year

Of the Soil Bank Act will become
more fruitful.

The Bricker amendment would

What Sort of Day
Was March a, 1921

Some of you Johnnies-
come-lately may not know
that March 4, now Just an
other day to cross off the
calendar for better or worse,
was not always that way. 1t
used to be the day the 4-year
lease at the White House ex-
pred. or was renewed, de-
pending on how popular the
tenant was with the people
who paid his rent.
In other land fever words,
it was Inauguration Day.
Nowadays, of course, we break
in a new President, or give
the one in office another go
at it, on January 20. But
March 4 is still Inauguration
Day in the memories of many
WashingtonianS.
Take March 4, 1921, for ex-
ample, when more than 1900
high school cadets, some pro-
testing, others bubbling with
excitement, crawled from
warm beds to help usher the
Nation past another histor
cal milestone. This was the
day of President Warren G
Harding's Inauguration.
1t was sunny and cold. TIL,
Stars weather forecast pre-
dicted freezing temperatures
at night and the wind howled
in keeping with the months
reputation. The cadets had
no capes or great coats, and
civilian overcoats were for
hidden. So they stood and
shivered with Spartan forth
tude in their dark blue uni
forms. chilled but uncom-
planning.

Kids as Well
Gay COS Candy
Still Available
For Old Timers

Remember those penny "jav
breakers" you bought as a child:
Ball-bearing hard with changing
rainbow colors?
Or tarbabies, or licorice twists
or horehound drops, or pepper
mint sticks-all for penny?
Stop drooling! You can still
buy them. And at the old price
one cent.
Glistening like jewels inside old
glass candy jars, the penny candy
display at Henry w. and Grace c.
Becraft's store in Gaithersburg is
beautiful, though improbable
sight to its owners.
Despite a good candy business,
they lose money on it. Even a
sale of 500 assorted pieces to a
lady last week cost the Becrafts
money. Let's face it: when candy
in the movies sells for 10 cents
bar, how can penny candy
survive?
But the Becrafts are game. Not
only do they stick with the candy,
they also have found authentic
old jars to put it in and some old
store counters to place the jars
on.
All in all, it looks quite like a
studio prop. All you'd need to
complete a typical Norman Rock
well scene would be a wide-eyed
child, socks dropping about half
the length of his tongue, desper-
ately debating which candy to
buy with his nickle allowance.
Well, the children who might
buy from the Becrafts today get
far more than nickle allowance
and it's questionable as to
whether they'd go for the stuff.
TITS the parents" said Helen
Becraft, the owners daughter.
"They blame their children for
having to buy so much when
they're here but we think the
parents eat most of it."
