St. John’s Bread
Has Rich History
St. John's Bread, introduced
in Montgomery County by the
Schmidt Baking Company of
Baltimore, traces its rich, nut
brown existence back through
more than 500 years.
As a matter of fact, according
to Carl Schmidt, president of
the three-generation old baking
company, St John’s Bread re
cipe, “support of this interest
ing fact are the historical rec
ords of the Order of St Bene
dictine.” The Order was found
ed by St. Benedict of Nursia at
Monte Cassino. Italy, In the
Middle Ages.
In the year 500 A.D. after
Rome was sacked by barbarian
hordes, led by St. Benedict of
Nursia. a bandy of scholars and
priests retreated behind monas
tery walls. With them were
carried many of the last re
maining secrets of civilization
in order to protect them from
the ferocity of the Goths. In
cluded were Roman knowledge
of law and engineering, Greek
Art, philosophy, and mathema
tics . . . even the ordinary,
every day practical arts such as
cooking and baking ... the mak
ing of wines and medicines,
were taken into the hidden mon
asteries by the scholars and
priests.
During his lifetime, St. Bene
dict founded fourteen monastic
communities. An order devoted
to the most vigorous standards
of work, prayer and study, to
day the spiritual descendants of
St Benedict have spread over
the world.
When the Schmidt Baking
Company wanted to bake the
famed, hardy bread of the Bene
dictine monks, the source of
the bread was St. John’s Abbey
at Collegeville, Minn. The Ben
edictine monks who founded St.
John’s In 1856 came to this coun
try from Bavaria. With them
had come the centuries-old re
cipe for the traditional bread of

the Benedictine monks.
St. John’s Bread, Mr. Schmidt
said, reflects Benedictine ideals
of self-sufficiency. The wheat
used is grown on monastery
land, coarsely ground, combined ,
with other farm fresh ingredi
ents and baked on an open
hearth. At the monastery and
among students all over the
world who have been to St.
John’s University, the loaf is af
fectionately dubbed "Johnny
Bread”.
While Schmidt’ Baking Com
pany bakes and distributes St.
John’s Bread in this area, the
baking mixture is made at the
monastery and shipped ready to
make at the baking company's
plants. Schmidt’s turns out the
loaves and a portion of proceeds
is returned to St. John’s for the
building of a fine new cathedral
there.

MELVIN L. HAYES is an
other local author who is about
to have his book published.
It is called “Mr. Lincoln Runs
for President.” The book is
based almost entirely on a
study of thousands of issues
of 1860-61 newspapers in the
Library of Congress. Mr.
Hayes is a former newspaper
man with the Toledo Blade. He
says he has tried to produce
an easy-to-read book intended
more for the general reader
than the Lincoln scholar.

IT HAS BEEN LEARNEIx
that The Montgomery County
Board of Appeals met at a pri
vate session with two mem
bers of the Maryland National
Park and Planning Commis
sion Staff. Of course, the ques
tion is bound to be raised: Is
this a proper action for a
quasi-judicial group? Should
this body of officials meet with
any governmental group in a
closed meeting regardless of j
the subject discussed? And

Perhaps, this latest situation
could turn out to be more con

Reese-Qulnlan affair of some
months ago.

THE FIRST PROGRESS
REPORT of 17 different study
groups that make up the cur
riculum study will be given
Friday evening and Saturday
morning in the library of 'he
Richard Montgomery High
School, Rockville. Mr. Jacobs,
the coordinator, told us that
more than 250 persons have
been meeting every week dis
cussing what should be done,
how to do it and when to tell
the world about it. The second
progress report will be given
in January and the third in
March. And the final word
will be given by the Curricu
lum Committee itself next
July or August.

BLAIR LEE, IV, is a chip
| off the old block. Or. we
( should say blocks. He is a
born leader just as his Dad,
, his Grandfather, E. Brooke
Lee, and his Grandfather, the
late Senator Blair Lee. Young
Blair Lee has been elected for
the third straight year the
president of his class at
Georgetown Prep. And we
rather suspect he'll be presi
dent of his senior class in 1961.
Blair is not only smart but
he’s a good athlete, a good
writer, a cartoonist of note
and an all-around good egg.
His pop will be Governor some
day and you can bet that Blair
Lee. IV, will either be a Gov
ernor, a U. S. Senator or a
member of the President's
cabinet. He and some of the
younger Kennedy kids will
probably be running things in
1980.

HOME ACCIDENTS 'ause
much pain. We’ve seen and
heard this repeated a thousand
times. But almost everyone we
know always said such acci
dents happen to everyone else
but never to us or anyone in
our family or circle. Well, it
happened the other day to
Susie Miller, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Sam Miller, the most
ardent Kennedy fans we've
ever seen. Susie was coming
down the stairs minding ner
own business intent on going
shopping. Her foot slipped and
quite naturally she grabbed
the banister. That’s what its
for. However, in this case, it
might have been better had
Susie tumbled down the car
pet-covered stairs. As it was
she pulled the socket loose
from her' shoulder and is in
worse condition than she
would be had she broken her
arm or shoulder. At least, this
is what the doctor says. In the
meantime, she is going about
her business in a full cast that
is a bit different than one of
her best outfits.
