From the
PRESIDENT
This is my first message to you as president of Maryland TAMS. Thanks are due to all of you who have put your trust in me . I hope to follow in the footsteps of our other fine presidents; Mill Hajek, Bob Ruby and Russ Sears. Together we can continue to make our organization one of the finest of its kind in the country.
After serving as Journal editors for the last four years, Jane and Russ Sears have turned over editorship to Will Mumford. We all can help make Will's job easier by contributing articles about our hobby. As Russ has stated, our journal is the heart of our society - get involved!
Our next meeting will be held in conjunction with the Metro-Washington Convention at the Sheraton Inn in New Carrollton on Saturday, July 11, from 11:00 a.m. to 2i00 p.m. Ed Lanham will give a talk on collecting dog tags. Our meetings are always eventful, full of good talk, camaraderie, and information. The auction at the end of the meeting is one of the best places to obtain exonumia to add to your collection, and there is always the bourse of the adjoining coin show to peruse. If you have not attended a meeting lately, resolve to go to one soon; you'll be happy you did.

Ppesider^fe’s Message
If you have not seen or bought a copy of the new Maryland Merchant Tokens catalog yet, then you are missing a real treat. Once again David Schenkman has done a masterful job. We all owe David a debt of gratitude and can feel proud that our state's catalog has been written by the best.
If anyone finds any new discoveries of any unlisted Maryland tokens be sure to contact David so he can update his listings periodically.
Finally, plans are being made for our January meeting. So far, three possible meeting places have been suggested: The Maryland Historical
Society, the main branch of the Enoch Pratt Library of Baltimore, and the Wilmington (Delaware) Coin Club Show. Please let me know if any of these sites interest you, or if you wish to propose a different site. The final decision should be announced in the next Journal.
Mr. Morris Adkins of Showell, Md . , member number R 181, recently passed away. Mr. Adkins had attended his first Maryland TAMS meeting in January. He collected transportation tokens and tokens of the Eastern Shore. He will be greatly missed .

From The Editor
YOUR JOURNAL NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!
It is an honor to follow in the footsteps of A. Vernon Taylor and Jane and Russ Sears as editor of the Maryland TAMS Journal.
I will do my best to continue the excellent tradition.
But I have some real concerns....
I am concerned about the quality of the journal... there are absolutely no backup articles waiting to hit the pages of the journal. Members must realize that this is YOUR journal and its success depends upon YOU: The articles are written by you.... not by the editor... although I'll sneek one in occasionally. We should all be motivated to do a little research now that the new Maryland Tokens book is out. Pick out your favorate token or one that is from your area and write what you know about that token.
You may even want to do a little research in your local library, court house or city archives. Articles need not be long... even a paragraph or two will get the ball started. Others may want to add to your article or make comments.
You may find new tokens which Schenkman missed... the journal will serve as a vehicle to report non-listed tokens.
Then again you may come across some interesting token articles in other publications which would be of interest to MD TAMS members. Send such articles to me with informa- tion concerning its source and an address from which we can get permission to reprint the article.
The Maryland TAMS Journal started with 20 pages and went as high as 35 pages per issue. Lately the journal has only been 10 to 12 pages... and only due to the great efforts of Russ and Jane Sears. Have we run out of things to say about our tokens?... I doubt it».. but we aren't writing about them. Everybody has something to say about their collections. Your favorite token; first person accounts or exciting finds; collecting specialties; unusual tokens ... etc . You don't have to be a literary genious to put your thoughts or ideas in writing. We are not profess- ionals, but rather amateurs putting together a journal for those who enjoy the art and science of exonumia. I will be glad to edit your article... after all that is the main function of an editor. . .Please give some serious thoughts to writing an article... YOUR journal needs YOUR support!

BURNING OF THE "PEGGY STEWART
By Millard W. Hajek LM #1
England passed the Tea Act in 1773, stubbornly insisting on the principle of its right to tax the colonists. Overt resistance to the Act occurred in Uev; York and Boston and later from other centers of colonial resistance such as Annapolis, v;here the tea ship, the "Peggy Stev/art" v/as burned before a hov/ling angry mob.
The citizens of Annapolis, as one historian put it, "out-Bostoned Poston". The brig "Peggy Stev/art", named after his daughter v/as ov/ned by Anthony Stev/art and his father-in-lav; James Dick, m.erchants of Annapolis. The brig arrived at the citv^ on October 14, 1774, carrying, among other things, a consignment of tea that had been ordered by another local merchant house, Thomas V.'illiams and Co. Stev/art paid duty on the tea, because, he claimed, his vessel v/as in a lea3:y condition and needed immediate docking, v/hich the custor:house v/ould not permit until the duty had been paid. Also, there v/ere fifty-three passengers aboard who were sick and exhausted and had to be set ashore at once. These explanations carried little v/eight v/ith the hotheaded patriots in the community v/ho gathered at a m*ass meeting on October 19th. These Annapolis patriots v/ere incensed at such flagrant violation of the Mon- iTiportation Association, dem.anded that the tea be destroyed.
Stewart and the Williamses v/ere publically penitent and offered to destroy the tea, but by nov/, spirits v/ere running so high that even this sacrifice v/as not deemed a sufficient reparation. All this time at Stev/s.rts home a fev/ blocks away, his wife lay on the point of childbirth. Her father who v/as Stev/art 's business partner, at last took fright that the mob might attack the house itself and burn it down. Choosing the lesser of the two evils, he persuaded Stewart to set fire to the brig himself -and destrovr both it and its cargo. This he did forthv/ith, and the "Pegg^’- Stev/art" under full sail v/as burned to the water line. In Annapolis, the burning of the "Peggy Stev/art" had become the symbol of the struggle for independence and a new spirit of resistance in

A Continuing Study of Anne Arundel County Farm Pickers
Checks .
Thanks to the National Child Labor Commission which campaigned for child labor laws back in the early 1900's, we have actual photos of a Maryland truck farm with Polish "pickers" from Baltimore. Lewis Hines was comm- issioned by the Child Labor Committee to take a series of photographs of situations which involved child labor.
The truck farms qualified. The following photographs were taken in 1909 and 1910 by Lewis Hines in Baltimore and on the "Bottomley" farm in Anne Arundel County.
The photos are from the Library of Cogress photo collection and most of them have never been published. Some of them will be used in the Picker Check sequel to the Schenkman book on Maryland Merchant Tokens. The captions came with the photos and were probably written by Lewis Hines .

UNITED STATES MAVERICK TOKENS Compiled by John Sena
There isn't anything more frustrating to token collectors than to have an unattributed token. One cannot place a value on any token until you know where it came from. Many collectors look down upon mavericks, but with a proper attribution backed up by trustworthy documentation, a maverick token is equal to any self identified variety.
The material contained in Mr. Sena's catalog was gathered from numerous catalogs, articles, and other token volumes. Mr. Sena states the purpose of his catalog is to help attribute mavericks. After you have used his listings to help locate the token, he recommends that you consult the proper catalog to get a more comprehensive background on the piece. He includes a bibliography that is found in the rear of his work.
The tokens covered in his work are listed alphabetically by sir name or by the first non-article word of the business name. Tokens bearing both the business name and a personal name were listed under the business name.
The catalog does not list transportation, coQl, or military tokens since these fields have all been well covered in other works. In Mr. Sena's listings, he has used the standard abbreviations found in almost all token books con- cerning sizes, metallic content, etc.
The book is of paperback construction in an 8 x 11 format. 290 pages are devoted to the various listings followed by the bibliography and other notes. The catalog is available directly from Mr. Sena at P.O. Box 57002, Tucson, Arizona 85732. The price is $17.50 including postage.
