anything from a needle to a farm

The man of the house just read

reminiscing about the small white

ride from his farm to the store

for the Riggs, Haines, Bensons and

could not read but he could name
all the presidents and remembered

We often hear someone say,
whats in a manner" Well, wheth-
er we particularly like our name or
not a peculiar feeling comes over
one when a perfect stranger an
swsrs to the name. When another
Elsie Haines came into the Office
we stared at each other-exactly
the same name but we never
dreamed that stranger possessed
one just like it. Perhaps at times
she receives news for The Sentinel
I've admit that we feel very pecu-
liar when we open a letter and
find the report card of one Of her
children.
But here is one to top that
Elmer w. Green has lived in the
WOodfield neighborhood all his life,
he, his wife Mary (Mollie) and
daughter Ruth are well-known
throughout the upper county, but
no other Elmer. So, when Sweep
stakes Farm was recently sold to a
Washington man by the name Of
Green it did not seem strange un-
til they found that he, too, spelled
his name without an "e" at the end
his middle initial also was CIV"
that his wife was named Mary
and he, too, had daughter Ruth!
Some amusing, exasperating and
several rather serious situations
have ensued.
| A call from Mrs. w. w. Griffith
of Laytonsyille to know if we had
in the office files the Sentinels for
1898, brought out the fact that she
was interested in the Fair Premi-
uni List. Seems that Mrs. Griffith,
then 10-year-old Jessie Magruder,
canned a jar of pear preserves
that year and got first premium
on it at the Rockville Fair. She
kept it and the next year she
brought home another first with
the same preserves then she
passed her twelfth birthday and
had to compeate with the grown,
ups and got only second. But
the oddity is--she still has that jar
Of preseryes-over 46 years old! v
Mrs. Griffith reports that the
rubber band is evidently deterior-
ating-for there is a little mold
showing on the jar. AS a girl Jes-
sic looked forward all year to the
fair and later often gathered $40
or SO in prizes for her exhibits.
Z What train of thought that
conversation brought we could
hear the chickens growing - the
cattle moeing-the music Of the
merry-go-round and the brass
bandD playing following a race,
perhaps a running race in which
one of the Prescott horses had run
I've used to sit, on the fence at
Sycamore Farm and watch them
train. We also liked to see Tuck
Rabbit drive one of his trotters
for we knew about them from ia
ther-the Tom Keys horses, too,
we knew, later, in our teens we
had one Of them to ride.
Then we thought about the Ma
gruder home near little country

This Is An Invitation

The theme for the twenty-fifth annual OBJ
servance of American Education Week is:
"Education To Promote The General Welfare"
Concern for the general welfare is essential if
individuals are to have happy useful lives and
if America is to have prosperous and har-
monioqs future. Our schools have major role
to play in helping our people to see that only
through the GENERAL welfare can we achieve
true and lasting INDIVIDUAL Welbeing.
People are the greatest asset of nation :.
that is why education is so important. No
family, no community, no nation can be any

greater than it's people If we are to have a
happy and prosperous nation in post war years
it will come about because our people make it
so. That is why our schools deserve such high
place in the life of every community :. it is
the schools that are preparing our boys and
girls for the new tasks of today and tomorrow.
Parents and the general public are given
special invitation to visit the schools of Will
Week. Let's visit our schools and see how they
prepare our children to be the citizens of to-
morrow.
