Now that the rubber salvage is
in full swing this bit from the Star
seems timely:
Dixon and Aldricn and Pastula.
Do you remember?
-. The three Navy flyers whose
plane went down in mid Pacific,
who existed "a days and journeyed
1000 miles and lived through a
typhoon, on a rubber life-raft 8
feet long and A feet wide.
Now, do you remember?
-. The men who, barely alive,
came ashore standing up because
they didn't want any Japs to find
them crawling.
Yes, you remember.

you use your car, that the rubber
built into it and the rubber on its
wheels would have made four of

INQUIRY CLUB
HAS HOMECOMING

EO AOAAO SOAAitAS AACO1AAiS VI VIC
Inquiry Club of Rockville was held
at the home of Mrs. Ernest l.
Billiard on Monday, June 9th. After
the regular business was transact
ed, the Reverend Raymond P.
Black gave a talk on Friendships.
These "homecomings" have be-
come an institution with the Club,
at which time former members
eagerly look forward to meeting
friends of other years. Mrs. Bull
lard started this friendly custom
back in 1926, and not year passes
that does not bring most of the
members together again.
This Club was started on June
2, 1911, with ten charter members,
of which Mrs. Billiard was one. 1t
was called present Day" Club, but
later was changed to Inquiry
Club, at the suggestion of Mrs.
Billiard, and much of the vital his
tory of the Club has been written
around her progressive activities
Back in 1913 she was interested in
the suffrage movement and she
actually postponed a meeting in
order to witness Suffrage parade.
In presentation days the Club
women saw the need of taking con-
verified action against unsanitary
methods of handling foods, par
ticularly bread, and through their
efforts the bakers were forced to
bring their products to market
wrapped in paper. It was during
her administration as President of
the Club that other reforms were
brought about in Rockville. Wire
baskets were bought and placed on
street corners in an effort to give
the town trim appearance, and
the ladies even went so far as to
endeavor to exterminate the house
fly. They held contest and gave
a prize to the child who killed the
most flies during the summer.
Mrs. Billiard has held all the inn
portant offices in the Club, having
been elected President three times.
She was the first Treasurer. served
as Secretary and Press Agent. In
the old days when the Library was
merely a room, stove and few
books, she served as Librarian, and
it can truly be said that the In
quiry Club is the foster parent OF
the present progressive, up-to-date
Rockville Library. 1t was also dur
ing her administration that the In
quiry Club endowed a bed in the
Montgomery County General Hos.
pital.
She has been called the "Mrs
Roosevelt of Rockville. The rec.
ords show she attended the first
meeting of the County Federation
of Women's Clubs at Poolesville in
1919. Thereafter she served as
Delegate at meetings, travelling
from New England to Alaska, to
Florida, Cuba, Hawaii, and the
Pacific Coast.
Much more can be written about
this energetic, forward-looking
pioneer of human progress, but
suffice it to say that the members
of the Inquiry Club are looking
forward to next years "home.
coming" and may there be many
of them.

that you have a dad will give the

come in second-he did not even
