MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
: BIZ ELSIE, WHITE HAINES

We had planned last week to use
this space to tell you all about the
new Health Center in the Silver
Spring area, but sudden illness in
the family prevented our getting
the data together-however we did
get down to the tea which they had
Monday afternoon to celebrate the
opening.
The old unused Blair School on
Old Bladensburg Road has indeed
chad it's face lifted" and has been
turned into a modern Colonial type
building-we were struck by the
lightness and airiness of the rooms.
You know Mrs. Frank Smith, who
heads the board of directors,
dreamed of this place for seven
years-and she says she was aided
and abetted by Mrs. Katharine
Johnson, now assistant supervisor
of the nurses, who shared these
dreams long before it seemed pos
sible to make them come true. The
sun was shining no brighter than
the pair of them Monday after
noon, Mrs. johnson met us at the
door-we found Mrs. Smith in the
kitchen telling a group of the nu-
triton work they plan to carry on
there.
Mrs. M. E. Sherer and Mrs.
Jackson Harris were presiding at
the tea table-Mrs. Denham, 9th
er members Of the Silver Spring
/ Lay Committee and DR.. Salzman
were seeing that every one had
punch and cookies. DR.. Salzmar
was actually purring with delight
Tor do males PURIFY at having
such lovely place for his health
work, and he was also much pleas.
ed with some "bite sized" choco-
late cup cakes made by one of the
Silver Spring women.
We did not see DR.. Bridger-but
after being cramped into the denta'
trailer with which, by the way he
has done marvellous work this
year, we know he will like the

The beautifully restored Colonial
home of Mr.. and Mrs. John H.
Small was the meeting place for
the Gaithersburg Woman's Club
last week. Everyone arrived early
for a tour Of the gardens before
being called to order by the presi-
dent Mrs. Bates Etchison. A full
report of the recent County Fed
Grafton meeting by Miss Olivia
Myers, donation to China Relief,
and reports Of chairmen featured
the business session. Miss Helen
Worley gave a most interesting
talk on her visit to old Mexico,
and showed a most amazing ability
to pronounce the Mexican names.
Her account of the first inhabitants
thought to have come from Asia
by way Of Alaska and down the
California coast in much the way
present day would be invaders
might do, gave us something To
think about.

The Inquiry Club of Rockville is
recessing from June to September.
DR.. Forrest Prettyman was the
speaker at their last meeting held
at the home of the Misses Rice.
This club considers the outstanding
events of their year to be the birth
day party they gave their oldest
member, Mrs. Bullard-and the
benefit luncheon they held for the
Public Library, which netted them
$4,000.

dental quarters with needed equip
ment all in place. And there is a
dark room for the development of
pictures too, in fact nothing seems
to have been forgotten, in the plan
ming of this center which certainly
sets a high standard for the rest
of the County.
All the nurses were good natur-
edly envying Mrs. Ethie Day and
Mrs. Barbara Houck the Public
Health nurses assigned to that
area. Over two hundred people
dropped in during the afternoon.
While in this vicinity we think
you will enjoy this part of paper
prepared for the celebration of the
Centennial of Montgomery County
held in 1876, which refers to
"Silver Spring-The Blair family"
"Hon. Francis Preston Blair, the
veteran journalist and editor of the
Globe during Jackson's administra-
ton, was attracted to Silver Spring
under singular circumstances. He
had purchased a very fine saddle
horse from Gen. William Lingan
Gather, (another representative
Montgomery MANI while taking a
ride with his daughter beyond the
limits of the District of Columbia,
Selim became frightened and
threw his rider and ran down
among the thick growth of pines
in the valley west of the road.
"Mr. Blair followed on foot and
found the horse fast to a bush,
which had caught the dangling
reins of the bride. Near the spot
he spied a bold fountain bubbling
up, thru beautiful white sand
which sparkled in the water like
specks of silver. He was so charm
ed with the spot and the spring
that he resolved at once, if possible
to possess it, and sought the own
er, and soon bargain was made
at what was considered by the
seller as a good price, but in the
eyes of Mr.. Blair as very cheap"
"These are the circumstances
which led to the proprietorship Of
the far famed and classic seat Of
Silver Spring, where it's owner
venerable and distinguished spent
an easy retirement the last twenty.

and died peacefully, full of year,
and honors, at the advanced age Of

WOMEN'S CLUB
CHATTER

Mrs Jones Hoyle, president of
the E. v. White Chapter United
Daughters of the Confederacy,
writes US that due to the National
Emergency rationing of tires and
gas, they will not have their an
nual memorial service this year,
but that a local committee will
meet at the Cemetery in Beallsville
Saturday, June 6 to place wreaths
on the graves of veterans and
daughters. Thirty-five years ago
a small group met to decorate the
graves of the comparatively few
graves of Confederate soldiers
the custom has continued and it is
hoped it may be resumed before
too many years have passed.

AMONG THE
HOMEMAKERS

The Poolesville : GAINESVILLE :
Dickerson neighborhood is good to
us this week-we had two reports
for our Club Chatter and here is
letter from Mrs. Bertha Um-
stead, publicity chairman for the
Homemakers Club, telling of the
May meeting, held at the home of
Mrs. Leland Clark, "After an en-
joyable lunch, arrangements were
completed for the annual June
picnic, the guests this year will be
the Comas Homemakers, the
Poolesville All girls and their
mothers. Our guest speaker this
month was Mrs. Raleigh Chinn, of
Rockville, who told many interest
ing things about the use of herbs
in cooking, and gave suggestions
for growing them. We enjoyed the
talk and were inspired to the point
of making an effort to grow our
own herbs.
Miss Turner had much valuable
information on canning, and how
to make the best of the sugar ra-
tioning. Mrs. Carl White, one of
our original group, who has moved
from the neighbrohood was also a
guest. The members wanted her
to keep US in mind, so we present
ed her with a memory book and
ended our meeting by each one
entering her name in the book,
and with the exchange of growing
plants.

We dropped in at the Agents
Office to hear the latest on the
sugar situation, having listened to
Earl Goodwin on his early morning
broadcast and heard that sugar
was to be available to home can
ners. Nothing official had come
thru, so we were told. We have
not given recipes for sugar sub
stitutes-free recipes may be OBJ
tanned from the Consumers Divis-
ion, O.P.A., Washington, D. c., and
in fact the magazines are full of
them, and many advertisers run
them with their publicity.

Wheaton Club met at the home
of Miss Frances Wolfe last week
and gave a surprise shower to Miss
Mildred E. Beauverd, daughter of
Mrs. Louise Beauverd, and grand
daughter of Mrs. Plitt-you know
the apple lady in the pageant of
last year-or if you did not see
the pageant, you will remember
Mrs. Pitt as a gazoot player-and
one of the best "warmer uppers"
of dull parties that we ever saw.
But to get back to the shower, it
was hard to tell who was the most
surprised, the bride to be or her
ma. And no one told us who is
to be the bridegroom. well, just
watch the papers.
