Our Museum
The seventh grade Science class

Smithsonian Museum" In it we
have many interesting things.
Some of them are winter gardens,
flower cuttings, potted flowers,
pictures, gold fish, tadpoles, snails,
an African violet, and a small tree
planted in can. We did have some
praying mantises, but we let them
go after we watched them eat some
grasshoppers. One of the girls took
a praying mantis home and mount
ed it for us. This we also have in
our museum.
The shop boys made us shelves

a man of the general size and build

three girls and women at once
while others stood in line to get
near him--"Why are they kissing
Jim King" we asked, "is it his

DR.. Charles H. Halliday, Assis-
tant State Health Officer, in
charge of crippled children's serv-

opedics in the Rockville health
center on December 8. The meet
ing, which open at 8 A. NJ, will
continue throughout the day, with
Mrs. Marie Beck Bond, State
+, Orthopedic Nurse, Miss Jane Oil
yer and Mrs. Easter, of the State
staff, participating. Although the
institute is primarily for the healtn

professional interest in the sub
ject will be welcomed.
The Rockville Public Health Lay
Committee has purchased metal
cabinet for the Rockville health
center, in which are stored the lay
cites they have purchased for in
fants whose parents are unable to
provide them. The Committee has
also furnished the center with a
case of evaporated milk, to be used
for undernourished infants and
pre-school children for whom the
nurses are unable to make other
provision. Both the layettes and
the milk supplies will be replenish-
ed by the committee.
Other purchases of the commit
tee include playground equipment
of swing, softball and bat, and
dodge ball for the Emory Grove
school children, which will help
solve the outdoor recreation prob
lem on clear days. Some other
provision is needed on rainy days,
since the clay yard is devoid of
grass. The committee is also much
interested in seeing that a new
base and shaft will be provided
for the school pump, which is so
rusty that the water is not potable.
Until this condition is corrected
hot lunches cannot be served in the
school.

ings of which you write? How can
you stand it," We are often asked
such questions. Of course, the an
swer is that we do not attend all
"those meetings"-we trust to pub
licity agents for accounts of many,
but we do attend the ones in which
we are greatly interested if it is
possible to do so. Last week we
heard Jimmy Christopher-now
Judge Christopher-tell the history
of Rockville on Wednesday even
ing and on Saturday evening we
attended the All Banquet as the
guest of the All Council. This
week we started out by covering the
"big meeting" of the Rockville
Chamber of Commerce on Monday,
and the meeting of the Federation
of Women's Clubs at Kensington
on Tuesday.
Jimmy's story of Rockville was
interesting-he had dug out few
facts we had not heard before and
presented the old ones in a most
entertaining manner. Surely no
one had before thought to draw a
parallel of the recent much discus
sed "Jai-Ali" proposition, and the
fact that the first fire engine for
Rockville was purchased by pro-
ceeds of lottery.
He had an interesting clipping
from the Baltimore Sun of July
16, 1864, dated Rockville, and tell
ing of the Battle Of Rockville"
when shots were exchanged on the
streets and General Early occupied
the Clerks Office for his head
quarters. 1t also told Of Early sit
ting on the piazza of the Mont
gomery House.
That Indians did live around
Rockville even after the first set
tiers came is proven by a letter
owned by Donald Bowie, written to
one of the long ago Bowies by a
near neighbor asking for the loan
of powder and shot, as the writer
did not like to leave the place I'M
protected while he went to George
town to purchase it. The note, it
said, was "being sent by a friend
ly Indian" Most interesting to all
was map of the Janet Montgo-
merry property which was present
ed by Mr., L. B. McCabe, Jr.
We especially enjoyed the All
| banquet-we always beam with
! pride when the youngsters do their
stunts, and suffer with the parents
] when it seems they are at loss
for words-not that the 4-H'er is
often at loss for words-usually
he or she has the situation well in
hand.
You should have seen and heard
ten year old Bruce Berlage, tell of
his dairy project-he seems to
have the habit of picking winning
heifers but curiously enough he
gives them dog and horse names.
He had one named White Sox-
"she thought she was stronger
than but she wasn't" he said.
Then he had one named Lassie-
"she thought she was stronger
than land she was-she pulled
me around till / looked like stalk
Of fodder just through the shred
der" he said. But she liked being
shown and evidently behaved like
a lady and won him some prizes.
The poise of Jane Warfield as
she discussed Learning by De-
monstrations" would have done
credit to any club president; Wen
dali Day was typical boy as ne
told how the Alters exhibit at
the Livestock Show-"The softies
go to a hotel" he scoffed. Dainty
Patricia Bailey does not look
strong enough to handle a steer
but she won out over all the boys
in the county this year.
The food-well it was super--one

NEWS OF GIRLS
All CLUBS

On November 90 the Cedar
Grove All club held recreational
meeting in the recreation room Of
the Methodist Church. Thirty-two
young people were there with their
local leader, Mrs. Julian King, Mrs.
r. D. King and Mrs. Schaeffer.
Grace Woodfield and her sister had
planned a most interesting recrea-
tional program, starting out with
ice breakers, guessing games, then
quiet games. The girls had arrang-
ed a most attractive table for their
refreshments, having tall green
candles, and large punch bowl.
Delicious cakes, nuts and minis
and punch were served. The Home
Demonstration Agent was present.
On November 20 three local
leaders and the Rockville All club
met in the Home Demonstration
office to receive a lesson on tex
tile painting under the direction of
Mrs. Hale Sehorn. The girls chose
designs that would fit into the
corner of a handkerchief and most
of them made little bluebirds sit
ting on pine bough as their
motif. One or two individualists
worked up other designs, such as a
robin on a cherry bough or a gay
flower. The girls were delighted
with this new experience. After the
lesson Mrs. Pack and Mrs. Swan
son had the All girls hold their
regular meeting and see the
Christmas kit which the leaders
had prepared.
For the next ten days the Home
Demonstration Agent Miss Edythe
M. Turner, will be writing her 22nd
annual report.
The Agents Conference
The Agents Conference which
was attended November 1922
was most interesting. A summary
of some of the highlights from this
conference will be worked up for
an article next week so that the
homemakers may gain the bene-
fit from the information she receiv-
ed.

May offers Bill To Draft
Nurses For Military Duty

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-UP)-
Chairman Andrew J. May, D.-KyD
of the House Military Affairs Com
mittee, today introduced a bill to
induct nurses for military duty in
accordance with President Roose-
velt's warning that adequate medi-
cal care for battle casualties is
threatened by shortage of 10000
nurses.
May meanwhile scheduled hear
ings beginning tomorrow on his
bill to induct 4-F draft Registrars
who refuse to take war jobs, an
other request in the President S
four-point mandate to Congress to
squeeze the utmost from the Ma
tons labor pool. May said that
the committee may turn later to
Mr.. Roosevelt's appeal for a Ma
tional Service Act.
The nurse bill would require
draft registration of all registered
nurses between the ages of IS and
As under regulations fixed by Sc
lective Service. Those indicted
would receive the pay of enlisted
personnel unless they should be
commissioned.
The President told his news con-
ference that he requested Undue
ton of nurses after he had been
advised by legal counsel-ANorney
General Francis Biddle. - that it
was constitutionally permissably
to do so. The Department of Justice
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-01-10

said the President had such author
ity under the War Powers Act.
Gen. George c. Marshall, chic:
of staff, called on all State COVER
nors to aid in recruiting Wacs fol
service in the Army's so general
hospitals to assist their overWork
ed nursing stats. A company Of
100 Wacs will be assigned to each
of the 1,OOO-bed hospitals to serve
as medical and surgical tech
nicians.
Mays bill authorizes continuance
of the present voluntary recruit
ment program and empowers local
draft boards to defer nurses found
essential for civilian work. He said
he hoped it would be unnecessary
to use the measure extensively.
Mr.. Roosevelt revealed in his
State of the Union message that
the Army urgently needs $4,000
nurses and the Navy 1000. He SAID
that II hospital units recently were
sent overseas without a compile
ment of nurses, an unprecedented
procedure. His message eliminated
an extensive American Red Cross
recruitment drive citing "unbe-
lievable circumstance" in military
hospitals in this country.
