MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
By ELSIE WHITE HAINES

Were you among the hundreds
of spectators that gathered "up on
Goshen" to view the point-to-point
Of the Redland Hunt Club Satur-
day afternoon? We enjoyed so
much seeing little Jane Blunt,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Blunt ride in the gap-hunter race
Jane came in second-she might
have been the first, but she just
could not find the way out of the
last field-so she followed the win
ner out for second place.
Mrs. Robert c. Win1nill came up
rom Virginia to show US how to
really ride race on side-saddle-
much to the amazement of the
younger natives, some of whom had
never even seen a side saddle be-
fore. 1t was gorgeous March
afternoon, and everyone had good
time, save perhaps the rider whose
horse unseated him into the mud.
Speaking of March, we are re-
minded that st. Patrick's Day is
on Tuesday-who started that
story about st. Patrick driving all
the snakes out of Ireland After
consulting three encyclopedias we
decided that about all that is known
of him is that he was born a Scot,
spent about forty years trying to
convert the Irish and finally be-
came thir patron saint.
March, the third month in our
modern year, was the first month
until 1852 and the legal year be-
gan on the 25th. According to
"Wally's Wagon" it is still the
month when the government calls
on national banks for statement of
their condition-and we all know
that We are expected to let Uncle
Sam know by the fifteenth how we
came out last year.
The Romans called this month
Martius, from the god Mars; the
Anglo-Saxon name for it meant
loud or stormy, the Indians called
it the month of the Little Hail".
There is an old saying common
to both England and Scotland
which represents March as borrow
ing three days from April. An
ancient popular rhyme says:
March borrow it from Averill
Three days, and they were ill.,"
Another rhyme goes into detail
about the three days:
"The first, it sail be wind and weet,
The next, it sail be shaw and sleet;
The third, it sail be sic a freeze
Sail gar the birds stick to the
trees"

DR.. Leon Salzman, assistant
health officer for the county talked
of the public health service in
peace and in war time, at meet
ing of the Rockville Woman's Club
held Thursday in the home of Mrs.
Frank William with Mrs. Kenneth
Waters assisting as co-hostess.
Mrs. William reported for the
Red Cross Sewing unit which meets
at her place every Tuesday after
noon, with Mrs. Williams in charge
of sewing and Miss Mary Almoney
i1structing the knitters.
Miss Jane Joyce reported that 26
women were taking the advanced
First Aid being conducted by DR..
Murphy. A number are also with
the Motor Corps and helping in
other phases of defense work.
DR.. Salzman told most interest
irgly of his experience in Coven-
try Eng, after the place was RACED
by the German "blitz" and brought
out most wildly the need for civil
ians to take shelter during an air
raid, the danger from bits of shrap-
mel from the defending guns be-
ing impressed upon us. He also
showed the danger of polluted
water supplies following an air raid
and told of precautions being TAX
en- in Montgomery County.
