Grange Observes
66th Anniversary
At Sandy Spring
Many "reminiscences Called
To Mind By Older Men,
bers Of Group

A big birthday cake with 65
candles graced the table at the 66th
anniversary party held by Olney
Grange No. 7 in Sandy Spring. A
large number of former members
were present as well as visitors from
the neighboring PatuXent and Eureka
Oranges. One of the origina- charter
members, Charles Farquhar Brooke,
living in the neighborhood, was
prevented by rain from being present.
Olney Grange was organized in De-
cember, 1878, and has been in continu-
Gus existence ever since. Originally
located at Olney, where a large
Grange hall was built shortly after
Its foinding, meetings are now held
in fire quarters in the new Colonial
typefre house in Sandy Spring.

The authorities are forever tread
ing on the toes Of men and women
who intend to maintain the heritage
and traditions of the past. This story
deals not with the Town Council OF
Rockville, but the courthouse cousto-
dian. We refer not to the flags in
front of the courthouse - new ones
have been ordered and will shortly be
seen flying from the mast, but we
speak of the plaques which are hidden
to the public but which commemorate
certain important events in Montgom-
cry county history.
Someone asked the editor of The
Sentinel the other day where these in
scribed tablets were placed. Our num-
Der one sleuth Immediately got on
the Job and unraveied the first chap
ter of "The Missing Plaques.
In the old courtroom, now used as
a police court hearing room, there
was found a picture of Col. Ridgely
Brown, the local hero of the Confed-
crate States of America and whose
name is inscribed on the monument in
the triangle fronting the courthouse
where the town clock still lies DORM
ant, awaiting the call of the States
Roads Commission, or the Town Coun-
Gil, or something.
Our investigators, summoned hur-
,idlv from the Monkey Run case, and
called in from working on violations
of the softball league, discovered
numerous plaques and inscriptions in
various sections of the old courthouse.
Believe it or not, the Fusionists left
another reason, or excuse, for their
brief tenure in Office.

follows:
"In Memory of Lieutenant Col
Ridgely Brown, Company A, LIST
Maryland Cavolry, C. S. A., Army OF
Northern Virginia. Born November

Another plaque now in obscurity in
the dark and dreary walls of the old
courthouse, reminds us of the ode
scendants of Alexander Magruder,
placed by the American Clan Gregor
Society. Still another recalls Gustavus
W. Dorsey, 1t. Col, commanding the
First Maryland Cavalry, C. S. A., and
erected by the survivors, the daugh-
tiers and sons of the deceased.
We even find the framed picture of
General Richard Montgomery, who
"fell gloriously fighting for the indie
pendence and Librty of the United
States before the walls of Quebec, the
31st day of December, ITS, in whose
honor Montgomery county was named
the 9Th day of September, 1776." This
print came from the collection of
Allen Bowie Davis of Greenwood
through the Col. Tench Tlghman
Chapter, Daughters of the American
Revolution.

case. They believe these tablets should
be arrayed in a prominent place in
the new courthouse. What do the

LaytOnsville Is Ready
For Horseshoe Tits

You can't say the village black
smith is dead around Laytonsville.
At least, he was seen busy at his
anvil making horseshoes for the
Laytonsville Horseshoe Club.
The latest card party cleared
about $40. A number of business
firms contributed prizes. Edgar
Morley has presented the club with
two sets of shoes for the new
courts. Under the direction of
Mowatt Windham, the money will be
used to make additional courts and
improvements and install floodlights.
A number of tournaments are
planned for the season.

Washington Grove
Not Dead Town;
Very Much Alive
Water, Sewage And Street
improvements Authorized
By Legislature

The Town of Washington Grove is
all set to go ahead and is not to be
listed as a "ghost" town by any
means. Citizens are indignant that
any such idea should have permeated
the minds of the Board of Works.
Probably it was because of the fact
that the fiscal year does not end until
the middle of the summer and reports
have. not yet reached the State De-
partment. Here are some pertinent
facts about Washington Grove as
CLEANED from the mayor, Irving L..
McCathran.
The Washington Grove Bond meas
ure introduced by Senator Robert
Peter of Montgomery County, was
duly authorized by the passage of the
bill, and the signing thereof by Gov
ernor Herbert R. O'Conor, under date
Of March %, 1889, in accordance with
telegram forwarded to Mayor Irv-
ing L. McCathran, by the Governor
on said date.
The authorized bonds have been
duly sold by the town and the funds
have been made available for the ex-
tensive road improvements and the
installation of sanitary improvements
in the pubic buildings. The contract
for the road construction has been
awarded to Drummond & Co. Inc, of
Baltimore, Md, as the lowest bidder
and the road improvement will cost
about $4,000.
The installation of water and sewer
has been completed in the Assembly
Hall, and the work is. being advanced
for installation in the other public
buildings. These improvements have
led many residents of Washington
Grove to improve and remodel their
homes and others have purchased lots
under the liberal plan approved by
the voters of the town at the last lee
tion, and new homes are about to be
constructed on these recently punches
ed lots.
Washington Grove in the first two
years of it's existence as an incorpor-
ated municipality has made more
progress than during the past twenty
years. In fact, the entire community
is being modernized.
All occupied houses have been, or
are in the process of being connected
to the water and sewerage systems.
The three important pieces of legis-
lation in behalf of the Town of Wash
ington Grove, which were enacted by
the current General Assembly were:
The Bond Issue bill, the bill regarding
connection with the water and sewer
age system, and the gasoline tax bill
sllocating a portion of the gasoline
tax to the Town of Washington
Grove.

The Methodist church urged today

The commission reaffirmcd action
taken by the Kansas City uniting

that the church, as an institution,
could not endorse, support, or par

To avoid becoming involved, the
commission said, the u. S. must
not sell war materials or extend
credits or loan money to belliger-
cnts. It urged that the United

Influenza Plague
May Repeat Self
In Present War

CHICAGO, Sept. 81. (UP)-The
American Medical association jour
nal said editorially today that war
means the spread of disease and
that another outbreak of influenza
may we'll be expected in association
with the present war.
Man is but a morsel in the
great cosmic scheme and when he
seeks TO destroy himself nature
stand cynically ready to assist
him" the Journal said. "Typhus,
plague, cholera, typhoid, dysentary
pneumonia and influenza do more
damage under military conditions
than can be brought about by dy-
Mantle torpedoes, gunpowder and
poison gas
The editorial quoted DR. Thomas
NJ. Rivers of the Rockefeller Insti-
tute who told the Congress on
Microbiology that another out
break of influenza may well be ex-
