Girl Scout. Meeting

The Girl Scout Troop No. l, held
their regular meeting at the high
school Wednesday evening. The
evening was great success due to
the talent of the Girl Scouts to have
passed their tenderfoot test and the
special efforts of the captain, Miss
Ruth Conley, and troop committee
member, Miss Gertrude Hone.
The captain and lieutenant pre-
scented badges to the following scouts:
Pauline Glotfelty, Margaret Mary
Blocher, Alma and Edith Bittinger,
Pauline Swauger, Mary and Margaret
Miller. Badges were also presented
to Ruth Keller, Ruth Conley and Lena
Custer.
Everyone was pleased when Miss
Conley asked the scouts to accept
their scout pins as a Christmas gift
from their captain.
A delicious box of homemade
candy was presented to the troop
from Miss Gertrude Hone.
Miss Leighton Entertains
The Teachers Bridge Club was en-
tertained by Miss Margaret Leighton
at the home of Mrs. Fred Livengood
on Thursday evening.
Four tables of bridge were in play.
The guests were Miss Ruth Conley
and Miss Clare Martz.

gift was presented to all by Mr..
Livengood. A delicious two-course
luncheon was served, carried out in
the Christmas colors of red and green.

Drought Weakens The Local Water
Sources
Due to the recent and continued
drought and cold weather, Friends
vile has been without a sufficient
water supply, the reservoir being fro
zen over which has caused pipes in
the local homes to be waterless.
Lines have been built in the past
summer and concrete walls have been
constructed in order to catch the
water in the vicinity about the spring
from which the supply is drawn.
A committee has been exploring
the mountains both east and west of
the Yough River in search of water.
Water Is Available
A few small streams could be used
to furnish more water. However,
there are no springs available on the
west side. If the springs should be
used there would be an additional
cost of $4,000 to $4,000. The next and
only resource would be Bear Creek
Lake from which the water would be
forced up to the reservoir by power
pumps.
Notices imposing a fine for the il
legal use of water have been posted.

on the way out to look at the heap of

he picked one up and scrutinized it.

On December and 9, DR.. George

by his wife, DR.. Rebecca S. Schneider,
State health examiners, under the di-
rection of the Playground Athletic
League of Maryland, gave 81 boys
and 40 girls of the local high school
a free physical examination of the
chest, lungs, heart, nose, throat,
teeth, and eyes.
Four boys and four girls received
Health First buttons, which told that
they passed the examination with a
perfect score. Students having only
slight defects were promised health
buttons as soon as they would have
defects corrected.
DR.. Schneider stated in general that
he found conditions good in Friends
vile. He emphasized especially the
cleanliness of the students, which he
stated was characteristic of an in
telligent person.
No student of Friendsville High,
according to the doctors statements,

thereby hangs the story Of the
reincarnation Of baseball out

OF course Nick moved into
Chevy Chase quite a number Of
years after the disorganization Of

carried with him the stories :-1d

after he arrived he started work

but q baseball team whose
aim was to advance to the
top like the BearcatS II 1t
could. Nick's team looked
as If it was on the road to
real fame last year when 1t
won some 20 games in the
last two months Of the sea-

A stride like that inspired it in
it's outlook this year. To get an
official rating If a championship
was won, Nick entered it into the
Montgomery County section of the
Capital City League. The first
round just recently ended, Nick'S
Grays are right in the fight for
the pennant and rated as the one
dangerous contender to cop.
Managing a baseball team Is
right in Nick's line. He's no play

connected with the game in a ca
pacity suited to few but tried by
many-that as manager.
The Chevy Chase Grays might
not have players Of the caliber Of
the former Bearcat stars but they
have several who could be regu'
lars on other teams around the
city. Right off the bat is Eddie
Duvall, crippled left-hander, and
good despite his leg handicap. In
fact, Duvall is a star in his own
class, as its very few players, es,

The Venetian giant and his retinue
