WHAT AMERICA THINKS
Seek Security First,
Youths Are Advised

corporations have such varied
jobs that almost anyone, re-
gardlesS of talent, can find one
he can hold down satisfacto-
rily.
"You get regular hours and
a regular paycheck, so you can
put your family first and your
job second" said a New York
State housewife.
"A person with no particular
talent must depend on talents
of others, and this can be re-
allied best in a large organiza-
tion," said the wife of a Colo
.rado civil engineer.
Independence Cited
In the group suggesting own
ing ones own business there
were fewer concerned about Sc
curity. The chief concern
seemed to be independence.
"A man is lost working for
someone else" said a New York
office m ager. apparently
working for someone else.
He could hire people with
greater talent to run his busi-
ness for him." said a Long Is
land wholesaler. "Of course
he'd have to have a rich father
or marry a wealthy girl to get
started"
The security of a Government
job was mentioned in an over
whelming number of those ad-
vising it.
You're under civil service,
and after 20 years you get a
pension" said a Wisconsin
craftsman.
"In case of a depression,
you're sure of a job," said the
wife of New Jersey motor
vehicle department employe.
There is more chance fol-
advancement and they all get
big salaries" said a Virginia
aluminium company packer.
Fewer than one out of ten
saw much prospect in working
in a small business. Most of
those who did were small busi-
ness owners.

Actors JobIess
On Broadway

NEW YORK, June 4 (AP)
Curtains stayed down on
Broadway today as the black
out which arose from an Ac-
tors Equity-producers dispute
counted its first fatality.
The revival of "Finian's
Rainbow" recently moved to
Broadway after a highly sue
cessful run at City Center, was
closed for good. 1t put 40 actors
out of work.
Twenty-one other plays and
musicals are shut down tempo
rarily, with some gloomy fore
casts that they will stay closed
all summer. There have been
reports that several would be
finished if the dispute, which
the actors call a lockout and
the producers call a strike,
goes on much longer.
Negotiations Suspended
Negotiations between Equity
and the producers, over wages
and the terms of the first PEN
sion offer in history for Broad
way actors, were suspended for
a cooling-off period over the
weekend.
The Actors Equity Associa-
ton issued statement to
overcome any misplaced i'm
preston that the actors are
not united" 1t said that any
new settlement offer from pro-
ducers would be subject to a
secret ballot of Equity mem
bers,
Angus Duncan, the Associa-
tion's executive secretary, as
serted that producers efforts
to split Equity have solidif1ed
membership support from its
stars to extras"
The League of New York
theaters, representing the pro-
ducers. reluctantly agreed to
another bargaining session at
2 pm. Monday in the Hotel
Manhattan. The League in
sisted it already had made its
final offer to the actors.
Long Strike Expected
Burton A. zorn, League
Counsel, said after yesterdays
fruitleSs session, The strike
looks like a long one. 1t looks
very dismal and I see no point
in continuing"
Equity's counsel, Herman E.
Cooper, said: THE dispute
can't last too long unless the
producers are willing to FORE
go their fall season. They've
got to begin casting now, other
wise they'll lose their actors to
summer stock and TV."
The key stumbling block to
a settlement continued to be
Equity's demand for a pension
plan financed by the producers.
The producers proposed two
way plan, with Equity bearing
a part of the expenses.
Other Theaters Prosper
Equity players struck the
play THE Tenth Man" on
Wednesday night after con-
tract talks collapsed. The pro-
ducers retaliated by promptly
shutting down the 81 other
Broadway productions.
The blackout meant a burst
of immediate prosperity for the
Il little off-Broadway theaters,
which usually have plenty of
vacant seats when the big
name shows are running.
However, the off Broadway
houses. for the most part small
art theaters, handle little more
than 5000 patrons, whereas
the big theaters normally re-
ceive about $1,000 a night.

Pierce Mill, at the edge of
Rock Creek Park on Broad
Branch rd., was restored by
PWA as an educational and
historic project" but at one time
was a profitable business. .
p Isaac Pierce bought the tract
from William Deakins in 1894.
On the land was one of eight
small frame mills operating
along Rock Creek.
+ Pierce was a millwright and
In the 1905 he erected a three
story blue granite mill, using
stone from the Broad Branch
Road quarry. The original mill
wheel was the understood
type. This was replaced in 1910
by an "overshoot" wheel, which
in turn was removed in favor OF
a turbine. When PWA restored
the mill, the old understood"
wheel was returned.
There were three buhrs at the
old mill: one for corn meal,
one for wheat and rye and one
for rough grain like buckwheat.
Pierce did not operate the
mill himself, but hired millers
and slavers to carry on the OPP

the boom" milling years of
1860 and 1870 were described.
Large quantities of corn,
wheat and rye were hauled by
teams from the surrounding
towns and villages. Saturdays
presented a scene of great &C.
tivity-so many horses and
teams around the mill that it
was difficult to pass-even on
week days there were 10 or IL
teams and a number of boys
on horseback coming to the mill
with grist. The poor little boys
would ride down the winding
road with the sack of grain in
front of him almost pulling him
over the horses head-and then
going back up hill the grist
would pull back against him
and almost push him off back
ward"
The old mill was used as a tea
house for many years after
modern grinding methods made
it obsolete. Then Harold Ickes'
PWA took over.
The restored mill sold sample
quantities of corn meal, whole
wheat flour and breakfast
cereal until 1943.

Pilgrimages Conducted
The Montgomery County His
torical Society, however, acts
as more than a repository for
items of cultural and historic
interest. Since 1855, there has
been an Annual Pilgrimage to
old homes around the county:
to Jamestown in 1855, to
Brookeville in 1857, to Dicker-
son In 1858, to Sandy Spring
in 1853. In May of this year,
the present President of the
Society, Thomas M. Anderson.
jr., organized a pilgrimage to
such points of interest in Rock
vile as the Beall-D Dawson house,
the old Rockville Academy NOV
the public library, and the
Brewer house on Falls rd., once
the home of Julius Bingham,
publisher Of The Rockville True
American, an early 18th century
newspaper. These yearly pill
grimages provide a unique op-
portunity to visit old county
homes not ordinarily open to
the public.
The Society, moreover, has
been active in its literary inter-
ests. Since 1857, it has printed
under the direction of Miss
Martha S. Poole a quarterly en-
titled The Montgomery County
Story. Under this program,
four articles on some aspect of
Montgomery County history ap-
pear each year. For example,

Also in the collection Is the
now almost unobtainable map
OF Montgomery County made IN
1865 by Simon Martenet. The
Society is anxious to receive
such items, and this spring was
presented by Mr.. William Pret,
lyman with an equally rare
one, G. M. Hopkins Fifteen
Miles Around Washington, In
Guiding Montgomery County Of
1878. The atlas is composed of
a set of maps Including maps
of the Virginia countiesl which
indicate both the property
boundaries and the property
owners of the period.
Besides documents, the So
ciety has begun a collection of
furniture, clothing and artifacts.
There is, for example, q large
number of kitchen utensils and
farm tools indicative of Mont
gomery County's agrarian back
ground. These range from q
18th century sickle made for a
left-handed man (there is one
just like it on display in Ply

setts), to a handmade wooden

first of its kind built in
America.

ment reached the point where
1t was no longer practicable to
serve the community from the
Cleveland exchange in the Dis
trict; therefore, work was
started In the Fall of 1910 on
the Bethesda Central Office.
The spring of 1911 saw the
new common battery board put
into operation with a total of
so subscribers.
The exchange was located In
the living room Of Mrs. Ada E.
Cunningham's home at 106 Mel
rose ave. Mrs. Cunningham
was agent for the Chesapeake

pany and handled all operating
and clerical work as we'll as
providing a place for the switch

month in payment for all serv-
ices, including the hiring of re-

after acquiring these companies,

In Caithersburg and Rockville,
originated "a home services in
Gaithersburg and installed three
lines from Frederick to Wash
ington.
On August 10, 1888, the Rock
vile Exchange was converted
from magnetic to common bat
terry operation. There were 40
telephones in service at that
time.
Dial service was introduced
into Rockville in December,
1916, when the Community Dial
Office in a new company-oWned
building at 100 S. Perry st. was
put into operation.
Ground was broken In June,
1855, for a new Dial Wire Cen
ter at 200 Oak st. This install
lation was completed and put
into service on July 1, 1856, at
a cost of $1.4 million. Initial
ly, this wire center served ap-
proximately 5000 subscribers
with the very latest IN dial tele-
phone service. 1t also marked
so years of telephone progress
In Rockville, from 40 telephones
in July, 1906, to 5000 in July,
1856, and there seems to be no
ceiling to be reached in the
foreseeahle future.

"You're living in the past"
is a remark which only the
m o st stolid reactionaries
would consider compliment
tary. Directed to an official
of the Montgomery County His
torical Society, however, it
would probably evoke a word of
thanks. For the two-fold pur-
pose of the Society is, first, ito
encourage the collection and
preservation of historical ma
terial associated with Montgom.
cry County," and secondly, ito
acquaint members with little
known facts regarding the
county and the state"
This joint purpose, set forth
in the constitution adopted by
the Society on November 9,
1914, has resulted in 16 years
of devoted effort on the part
of those who believe that the
cultural and historical heritage
of Montgomery County is a rich
one worthy of preservation.
Their belief has been borne out
in several ways.
There are presently over 300
articles of historic interest
housed in the Society's quar-
tiers at the Rockville Civic Cen
ter. The collection includes such
documents as the 1899 Consti-
tuition of the Farmers Society
grant patents dated 1869, 1921
and 1929; the medical diploma
received in 1922 by DR.. Wash.
ington Waters, as well as DR..

dent of the early 18th century.

of 1895 the company had 81
customers.
Both of the above companies
and one other, the Exchange
Telephone Company, were do
ing business in Rockville by
about 1893. All indications are
that the Exchange Company
had no exchange but about 10
subscribers on one line.
Research tends to have DR..
Francis Owens Drug Store as
the first telephone user in
town. Many old timers recall
h aving received messages
from the drug store" and still
relate their wonderment at the
awe-inspiring coin collector of
the early days. They say it
was a huge wooden thing as
high as a mans head and had
slots for silver dollars, half
dollars, quarters, dimes and
nickels.
Down county in the Silver
Spring and Kensington area,
the Enterprise Company had
established an office on Prince
George ave. in Kensington and
the first telephone was in
stalled for DR.. Eugene Jones
about 1905.
The Bethesda Chevy Chase
area Is the only part of Mont
gomery County which has been
served by the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Companies
from the beginning.
All research seems to indi-
cate that the first telephone in
this area may have been or
dered by the Chevy Chase Land
Company for the Rock Creek
Electric Car Line when this line
was extended to Chevy Chase
Lake. The date of this install
lation lay in the summer
months of 1895. The following
Spring an extension of this
service was installed in the
residence of Mr.. Dunlop whose
home was located on the hill
above Chevy Chase Lake.

Would lower Montgomery
County be as prosperous II the
nations capital were not adj
jacent? That's a question worth
speculation since only by the
shrewdest politicking fro m
many quarters was the Fed
eral City, located where 1t is.
Prior to 1888 Congress had
met in Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Lancaster, York, Princeton1 An
napolis, Trenton, and New York.
But when the Pennsylvania mill
tary units seeking back pay, ap-
parently feeling no brotherly
love, drove the Congressman
from Philadelphia, it became
obvious that the time had come
to remove to some other
place" It was decided to select
a residence in which the gov
eminent might exercise suffi-
Gent authority to protect itself
from abuse, insult, and vio-
lence." The idea for a new Fed
eral city was born.
Naturally all the states, In
Guiding Maryland, were anxious
to have the national capital
within their border. Much Of the
enthusiasm cooled when 1t was
learned that the state, because
of lack Of Federal funds, was
expected to donate the land, and
erect the buildings.
Three general locations were
decided upon: the banks Of the
Delaware, the banks of the Sus-
quehanna, and the banks Of the
Potomac. Those early Congress
men must have been fishing en-
thusiasts. Or perhaps they were
making provisions for the an
ticipated command, ION, go
jump in the riverw
Seeing that no. action was be
ing taken, the General Assem-
bly, of Maryland took the init
alive in 1888 by passing an act
ito cede to Congress q district
10 miles square In this state for
the seat of the Government"
Foreseeing that this chunk OF
Maryland would come from
Montgomery County and that
the government might want to
build the capital on both sides
of the Potomac, Virginia passed
a similar resolution.
And here Is where the Civil
War almost started about Is
years early. In discussions to Sc
lect the capital site, the North
ern packed Congress pointedly
avoided Southern locations.
Future.President Madison was
moved to declare that II the
proceedings of that day had
been foreseen by Virginia that
state might not have become a
party to the Constitution"
But there is nothing like
money to attract the attention
of Congress. And so when Vir-
GINA appropriated $4,000 and
Maryland $4,000 for the con-
struction of Federal buildings,
Congressional eyes snapped TO
the Potomac.
Not all was decided yet, |
though. Citizens of German
town, Pa. had also raised
paonsy. Baltimore and George
