REHEARSING FOR PAGEANT Winchester Apple Festival Opens Under Sunny Skies, Thousands Attend By CARROLL PEEKE WINCHESTER, Va., May 3. Threatening clouds rolled back and a warm Virginia sun shone forth today to greet Secretary of War George Dem as he arrived here by motor to preside at the opening of the Tenth Annual Apple Blossom Festival. Secretary Dem motored from Washington at an early hour to look over the beautiful panorama of miles and miles of pink and white blossoms before he goes to the stadium to crown Queen Shenandoah. Thousands upon thousands of persons are filling the streets with happy faces as this world of blossoms responds to the warmth of the sun after a night of rain. Cars Throng Roads Every road leading to Winchester was packed with cars as the celebration formally opened. Business was at a standstill. Every school, every industry, was closed in order that all the residents of the valley might join in the celebration. This afternoon Secretary Dem will place the crown of queenship on the brow of beautiful Mlle. Francoise May, daughter of the Ambassador of Belgium to Washington. Notables Present Senators and Representatives, high officers of the Army and Navy, diplomats, and Government officials are here to join in tribute to the apple industry of the Shenandoah, an industry which furnishes employment to thousands and puts millions of dollars in circulation. The festival this year means more than ever before. It tells the world that the residents of the Shenandoah are confident that the comer has been turned, and economic recovery is under way. On Every hand is a spirit of optimism, of confidence. Nature has been good this year. There are bountiful crops promised, and the country here is truly thankful. The day started with the THE WASHINGTON TIMES Mlle. Francois May, daughter of the Ambassador from Belgium to the United States, will be crowned Queen of thousands of visitors making tours of the orchard country surrounding this city. Green grass, trees budding in pink and white, the fragrance of the delicate blossoms, made this tour never to be forgotten. The streets of the town, decorated with the same colors, teemed with the visitors. Crack military organizations, with their bands and drum corps, unable to wait for the formal parades, gave plan, heads of departments and impromptu drills to the cheers of the crowds. ‘Overhead was the roar of motors of daring pilots who will stage an aerial demonstration over the airport named for that great Winchester citizen, Admiral Richard E. Byrd, intrepid naval officer, explorer, and flier. As the morning hours passed, the crowds wended their way to the great stadium of the Handley School, where with fitting ceremonies the Secretary of War will place the crown on the head of the charming Belgian girl who for these two days will be queen of this part of the world. Following this will come the first of the pageants to be presented, with more than a thousand school children and a score of musical organizations participating. “In springtime” is the theme of this year’s pageant, with dancers and actors showing how king winter has been vanquished by the coming of the spring. Blossoms and flowers are portrayed as overcoming the rigors of winter, of bringing to the Nation the gifts of God. Pageant Starts in 1732 The pageant is historical, depicting many springs, starting back in 1732, when the first white man settled in this valley, planted his crops, and started the civilization that has culminated with the present day. It then passes to those harrowing days when the United States entered its war for liberty. Victory won, a new era is entered upon. Tribute is then paid to Sarah Jane, that stalwart pioneer who started the first fire company in the valley. And tonight the company that still bears her name will join with others in a unique Mummers’ parade that will bring laughter to the visitors. Tribute to Stonewall Then tribute to another of Virginia’s heroes: Up from the South at break of dawn We hear the steady tramp of Stonewall’s men. Stonewall Jackson, that immortal leader of the lost cause, is paid tribute by this generation. Still another spring is depicted, that of 1917, when all past differences forgotten, the sons and grandsons of those who wore the Blue and the Gray march away side by side to meet a common foe. Reminiscences of these days, the flag of Belgium is much in evidence at the festival this year, in honor of the native land of the Queen. Court Ball Tonight Assisting Secretary Dem at the coronation is Mayor C. R. Anderson. The crown bearer is Miss Elizabeth Beverly, while the maids of honor to Her Majesty are Miss Westwood Byrd and Miss Mary Warden Boyd. Following the Mummers’ parade, the first of the brilliant court balls will be held. Be held. Last night, the 32 princesses, who make up the court of honor, were entertained at a formal dinner and then taken on a tour of the famous Shenandoah Caverns. Arlington P.-T. A.

COUNTY HIGHLANDS TO KEEP ADY Careful consideration has been promised by the Montgomery county commissioners of the request made yesterday by a delegation of members of the Montgomery-Howard County Pomona Grange and the county 4-H clubs, that Albert A. Ady, assistant county agent, be retained. Although Dr. Thomas B. Symonds, of the Extension Service, University of Maryland, has come out for elimination of assistant county agents as an economy measure, sentiment in Montgomery county has been strong for Mr. Ady. The commissioners announced they would not be able to make a definite decision immediately, but would confer with Federal and State authorities in an effort to adjust the matter. Mt. Rainier Urges Visitors to See Tulips Residents of Mt. Rainier are proud of the municipal tulip beds along Rhode Island Avenue and yesterday extended an invitation, through Bird H. Dolby, corporation counsel, to Washingtonians to come out and view them. Mt. Rainier, which was long known derisively as “Mud Rainier,” has lived down that name, with new buildings, new streets, and now the flower beds throughout the town. Rhode Island Avenue has been paved from building line to building line all the way through the business section of the town. Festival Aide A Jfl Hfe. JU-.

Eminently sane and sober gentlemen aver that it has. Equally sane and sober folk scoff at the story, and point out that they themselves have never seen such a beast in the depths of what was once the “Hoover cellar.” Meanwhile, an interesting theory is advanced by experts of the department who are adept in it. Thyology. They say it isn’t a two-headed turtle, but two turtles using one shell—just a part of the general retrenchment program. LIFE OF GW HITS BLUE UM Dr. C. S. Longacre, of Takoma Park, head of the Religious Liberty Association, said today he will offer the support of his organization to the three house-furnishing movers arrested in Somerset Sunday for violation of an old Maryland blue law. The case shows, said Longacre, the absurdity of the statute which is allowed to stay on the books under the guise of religious protection. It is all the more regrettable, he added, in that it happened in Bethesda, the storm center of the campaign to liberalize blue laws in Montgomery county. Dr. Longacre said: “The Maryland law does not allow a person to ride in his automobile for pleasure on Sunday. It does not allow a person to wash his automobile, rake leaves out of his backyard or dig a mesa of potatoes for a Sunday dinner. You can’t even hang your screen door to keep the flies out of your house on Sunday. People have been arrested and fined for doing these things under the blue laws of Maryland.” "If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again." An age-old saying, but ever true.

Times Staff Photos ORUGE TO SEEK ENATE SEAT Defeated in 1928 in the Democratic senatorial race, former United States Senator William Cabell Bruce may be a candidate in the 1934 primaries. Although Bruce refused to announce his intentions, he admitted last night that strong representations were being made to him to place himself as a candidate. Bruce, with a public career extending for more than 30 years, served as Senator first with former Senator O. E. Weller Republican, and after the latter's defeat in 1926, with Senator Millard E. Tydings, Democrat. In 1928 he went down to defeat and yielded his place to Senator Phillips Lee Goldsborough, Republican. Bruce fought prohibition during his terms in the Senate and on several occasions got himself in deep water with his disregard for party lines. Aspirants for Women BALTIMORE, May 3. — The Roosevelt administration is urged to “come out for a square and new deal for women” by Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch. Speaking at a dinner which marked the close of the fifteenth annual convention of the Maryland branch of the National Woman’s Party, Mrs. Blatch said: “None of the great emergency measures passed or considered in Washington were designed to aid unemployed women. That such has been the case is a disgrace in a progressive nation like the United States.” She also attacked the plan to force either husband or wife, both of whom are employed, to retire from public service.

Giddings had just locked the door of his store and started down the pathway when a slim young man stepped from behind a tree and called out: “Stick ’em up.” When Giddings hesitated, the robber opened fire, and the storekeeper charged his assailant. The holdup man became frightened, turned and ran, with the storekeeper at his heels. Five shots were fired at the storekeeper but only one took effect. A neighbor, Walter Waters, called Dr. H. H. Howlett, of Silver Spring, and Montgomery County Police Lawrence Dixon and Harry Merson. FAIRFAXISSUES TAX WARNING Fairfax county taxpayers today are receiving notices that unpaid tax bills for 1932 must be paid at once. Immediate action against those unpaid will be instituted, Dr. F. W. Huddleson, county treasurer, indicated. On May 15, according to Dr. Huddleson, he will place collectors in the field to enforce tax payments. This additional cost must be borne by the delinquents, he said. The action is necessary, according to the treasurer, because taxes must be fully collected in order that the county’s financial affairs be properly and efficiently administered. IDEAL MAYONNAISE 15c.
