ought to know my creden-
tials."
Versions Of the Founding
Miss -Strayer seems to feel
that even the history of the
founding Of the OAR is con-
troversial, as she quotes sew
eral versions. One version
gives credit to four Victorian
ladies-Eugenia Washington.
Mary Desha. Mrs. Helen H.
Walworth and Mrs. Mary 8.
Lockwood, who founded the
society in 1890. According to
the book, two Of these
women were Government
clerks-one q great grand
niece Of George Washington:
the other two were Washing
ton widows-one q woman Of
means. and the other q board
ing house keeper whose rooms
rented for $1.25 single, $50
double. per day."
A NTH lady. who became
Q storm center in the young
society,"" was Mrs. Flora
Adams Darling. dynamic
widow Of q Civil War gen.
eral."
Mrs. Darling's version Of
the founding Ii quite differ
ent. and Is found In Q book
published In 1901, q book
which Is an elaboration Of the
earlier account printed in the
Adams Magazine, Q small
periodical Of which she was
editor and chief contributor.
The author says Mrs. OAR
ling's account IL inconsistent
In many details, and she
points to another version,
written with the vitriolic
pen Of Mary Desha," which
was published In pamphlet
form in July, 1891.
From its foundings, the
book leads into the OARS
early growth and develop
ment.
There are chapters on the
Society's work on historical
projects. genealogy, immigra-
ton and education. It also
includes chapters on its stand
on the United Nations. do
nestle issues and the Com
munist menace. Another
chapter is entitled Cont
mental Congresses" which
opens with the first one. held
in Philadelphia. and includes
those held in Washington.
The final chapters are de-
voted to some members who
have played controversial
roles in the society, to the
work Of the Children Of the
American Revolution and to
the national headuuartArs
Denied OfIlcial Records
In the preface, the author
states that she was denied
the use Of official records Of
the OAR.
Unfortunately. I was able
to get no ofiicial co-opera-
ton from the organization:
! asked for permission to use
OAR ofncial records as source
material for research, but
my requests were denied. So
I went to the great Library
Nof Congress. which fortu-
nately has voluminous files
on the society"
She also pays tributes 70
individual members Of the
OAR who were helpful TO her
In her research.
Miss Strayer explains fur
ther the reasons for her hav.
ing compiled this informal
history: Il have seen the
Daughters do many wonder
full things In connection with
historical projects, their
schools for mountain children

and characterization for the
foreign born. And ! have also
seen them do some silly
things. Over the years
I have seen the Daughters
pursue their detectives with
single-minded flrmness. I
have watched them make
mistakes and sometimes over
rate the Importance Of their
organization. But ] have
never moderated their loyalty
and devotion and sincerity
and my admiration for many
Of them as individuals has
never faltered."

new book being released to-
morrow.
Written by veteran WASH
ington newspaperwoman
Martha Strayer, who has
covered the OAR since the
l920s, 1.-THE OAR. An In
formal History" public AZ
fairs Press, 1919. states:
High on the list of OAR
personalities and dissidents
is Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Although the former First
Lady resigned in 1899. pro-
testing the society's refusal
to allow Marian Anderson to
sing in Constitution Hall.
there are members who hold
that technically she Is still q
member"
Miss Strayer says that they
support their contention BY
quoting bylaws which con-
tain no provision for the
resignation Of ''life members"
On the other side, she says,
there still are whispers that
Mrs. Roosevelt never was
eligible for membership. II
Is alleged that her many
revolutionary ancestors made
her only o collateral. not .
direct descendant Of patriots,
and that when the genealo-
gists turned up this informa-
ton the leadership chose to
ignore 1t and admitted her -
Q member"
Miss Strayer further adds
that Mrs. Roosevelt allowed
herself TO be made o life
member ct the age Of so, and
up to that time she had
shown no interest in the So
ciety, even though six Revo-
lutionary ancestors made her
eminently qualified for mem
bership."

Gets Ten Years For Bur-
glury And Two For Jail
Breaking

Earl r. Franklin, 80, of johnson
City, Tenn was sentenced Mon

Fraley to twelve years in the
House of Correction.
Ten years was given on charge

Judge Fraley had Franklin

at that time if he planned to have
counsel and witnesses to make ar
rangements to get them there by
that date.
When he was brought before the
court on Monday he asked for
time to get an attorney and wit
nesses. This request was refused
and Judge Fraley appointed w.
Dwight Slower to defend him and
recessed court for ten minutes 10
give him little time to prepare
his argument. Franklin pleaded not
guilty. to the burglary charge.
Franklin did not testify on the
burglary count but requested that
ne be given credit for time served
in the county Jail since he was ar
rested last November. Judge FraIey
granted the request.
He told the court he Joined in
the Jail break ION the spur of the
moment but did not help the

Tertiary to testify in the case. They

Roads Workers Seek
Increase In Wages

Employees of the County, Roads
department are seeking a raise in
wages and other benefits from the
Board of County Commissioners.
At a recent meeting at Accident
the Garrett County Roads EN-
ployes Association listed four re-
quests and presented them to the
Commissioners.
They were: a raise of 10 cents
an hour in wages, four more paid
holidays, 5 more days of sick leave,
and 10 cents a mile travel allow
ancc for those who drive their
cars to the point of work on bull
dozers and graders.
II. D. Swartzentruber, president
of the County Commissioners, said
that the present rate of pay for la
borers is S1.21 per hour, with cor
responding increases for different
classes of workers, with guaran-
tee of As hours of work each week.
Workers are presently allowed
three paid holidays, five days of
sick leave, and Z cents per mile
travel allowance.
AT meeting of the County Com
missioners last week, they declared
a raise in pay would be impossible,
since the levy already is laid and
money allocated. They agreed to
give three more paid holidays and
agreed to 10 days sick leave with
doctors certificate necessary
after three days of illness. They
would not agree to additional mile
age above the seven cents.
Another request by the workers
was that in case Of emergency that
they would receive nine hours a
day pay for the extra time. Mr..
SWartzentrubcr pointed out that
the Commissioners had agreed to
a full week of overtime in the re-
cent emergency due to the snow
storm in February.
There are over 100 county roads
employees. They are to inform the
Commissioners within a few days
whether or not they agree with
the decision of the Board. Their
present contract expired April l.
