Muddy Branch Home
Destroyed By Fire

The home of Mrs. Ida Mills and
her son, Reuben J. Mills was com
pletely destroyed by fire last week.
Although both the Rockville and
the Gaithersburg Fire Depart
ments answered the call, they were
unable to be of much assistance
because the bridge leading to the
farm broke beneath one truck, and
a new fence prevented another
truck from getting thru to the
fire.
Mrs. Mills and her son wish to
express their deep appreciation to
their neighbors, relatives and
friends who were of SO much help.
Special thanks also go to the I'M

heat to knock down the hog pen
and free the stock.

Towns Future
Looks Bright"
Says Chamber
Plans For Improvement
And Development Dis
cussed Monday Evening

Rockville is going to be much
better place in which to live if
plans being formulated by the
Rockville Chamber of Commerce
are pushed to completion, it was
felt at meeting of the Chamber
held Monday evening in TIE Police
Courtroom and conducted by the
president, Buell. Gardner.
Cooperation is to be the keynote
of their efforts for expansion and
improvement. A committee COM
posed of Morris Stern and Roger
Shaw with the president, Mr..
Gardner, will contact civic and
service club heads, the town coun.
Gil and the county commissioners,
that all may work for the cstab-
lishment of parking meters, a
cleaner town, better transportation,
and better hotel and restaurant
facilities. A major aim, Of the
group, is the establishment of a
Veterans Hospital on the twenty
three acre site near Autry Park
which will be donated for that pur-
pose. Frank Jenkins, who heads
the hospital committee felt that
bringing such an activity to Rock
vile will automatically bring bet
ter transportation and housing. He
reported the activity of his COM
mittee and thinks there is good
chance of getting the hospital.
1t was pointed out that the clos
ing of Hungerford Tavern on
December LIST will leave the service
clubs and many other organizations
without luncheon meeting place.
Morris Stern, reporting for the
meter committee, said more defin-
tie news would come from the town
council after their October meet
ing but that it looked as if the
meters would be given a trail.
Several spoke of the improved con-
dition Of the streets, and of the
cooperation received from the
chain business places as well as
local merchants.
All business men and women of
the community are invited to join
the Chamber. Mr.. Schaeffer, Sec
rotary, suggests that those who
have already joined pay their dues
as soon as possible.
