The Warner z. Humphrey
Funeral Home in Silver Spring
is in its second century of per-
sonal service to thousands of
families.
Personal and heartfelt service
has been the keynote of this
establishment since the original
firm was established in 1854 in
Rockville.
William Elican Humphrey,
grandfather of the late Warner
E. Humphrey, was the founder
of the business now owned and
operated by Mrs. Warner E.
Humphrey and Raymond A.
Ziska.
In 1871, the son of William
Elican Humphrey, William Reu-
ben Humphrey ST. took over his
fathers business and established
the w. r. Humphrey and Sons
Undertaking business on the
corner of Montgomery ave. and
Fayette st. in Rockville.
The late Warner E. Pumph-
rey's father was one of the
leading men in his community.
He was progressive and always
eager to find methods of i'm
proving the service he offered
the people of Montgomery
County.
He was the first to use an
automobile hearse in Montgom-
cry County. This happened in
1912 at the funeral service of
Paul Beck, daring young aviator
whose plane crashed at an ex-
hibition at a Chicago flying field
on September 10, 1912.
Humphrey conducted the fun
eral procession composed of
motor driven vehicles, driving
to the Rockville Union Gene
terry where Peck was buried be-
side his wife.
Warner continued with the
Rockville Funeral Home after
the death of his father. He con-
tinued the theme of personal
service so firmly established by
his grandfather and carried on
by his father.
Silver Spring Home
Being a progressive as well
as a sound businessman, War
ner E. Humphrey established in
1882 a branch home in Silver
Spring. 1t was modern in every
detail and the furnishings quiet
and pleasant.
Like his forebears, Warner e.
Humphrey soon established him.
self as a leader in this commun-
ity, at the same time maintain
ing his business and personal
interest in Rockville as well.
In 1888, plans were drawn
to enlarge the Warner E. Pun
phrey home, making it one of
the largest and most modern in
the Washington area.
Although the physical space
has increased many fold, the
same theme of personal service
and the wish to provide modern
facilities for the tranquility and
comfort of the patrons has been
maintained.
Humphrey was honored by
the Washington Metropolitan
Section of the Maryland Society
of Architects for the excellence
in the planning and design used
in building the Humphrey Fun
eral establishment at 1924 Geor-
gla ave. In Silver Spring.
Simple and Dignified
The building is of Italian
Renaissance and the lines are
simple and dignified. The in

Griswold Of Yale answer the ques-
TONERS:
"a natural reason for the posi-
ton of the colleges and universe
ties is that no one enjoys being
doubted when everyone else is
trusted. Yet this is the way the
colleges and universities are made
to feel by the disclaimer affidavit.
The affidavit originated in the
Taft Hartley Act In 1859 it
was dropped out of the Taft-Hart-
ley Act. This means that the only
recipients of federal benefits to
whom it now applies are students
and teachers in colleges and univ
ersities."
This makes them feel as If they
were receiving 1.-The short end of
the stick"
They do not see why their stu
dents and faculties should be
treated differently from any other
individuals, groups, professions or
occupations that receive Federal
subsidies or loans"
I doubt that the "egghead", So
called, desires special treatment.
It's simply that he does not feel
he deserves worse treatment than,
let us say, the GILMAN who gets
that 27%6 depletion allowance, or
the farmer who Is paid not to
raise crops, or the manufacturer
who enjoys the benefits of a pro-
tective tariff.
But, Griswold points out, there
is some irony in the oath. The
idea was to beat the Russians in
the field Of science by stimulating
federal school aid. The government
was saying to the scholars, I'VE
need you-desperately."
Then it turns around and gives
them what, in effect, is a vote of
mo confidence"
That's what passes for states
manship these days.

If the idea were not so insulting
it would really be laughable. When
I was a youngster in college we
did have a wide variety Of radi-

souls who called themselves Soc

other rebels, who belonged to no
particular group but were pretty
fierce in their criticism Of our
"decadent" society.
Compared to those days, the
present generation of rock-and-
rollers, beatniks and young Re-
publicans are a tame bunch, in
deed. It's hard to find a full
fledged radical on any campus. The
Communists wiped themselves out
and the Socialists are rather quiet.
