Rabies has not entirely disap-
peared from the Metropolitan area
Of Washington, warns the Health
Department, and anyone suffering
a bite from dog should take pre-
cautions to prevent development
of rabies in himself. This also
applies to bites from cats and
ether animals though the danger
is less.
Do not let the owner kill the
dog before two weeks time. You
want to know whether the dog has
rabies and the only reliable way
to tell is to see if he remains well
for two weeks.

Do you remember when the
Gaithersburg Bank had a steeple-
like effect on the front? or just
when the town first turned on it's
electric street lights? And do you
know who turned the switch that
lighted up the town?
We have recently been given a
picture of the bank as it appeared
in the early 1900's, a reproduc-
ton of which you will find in this
issue of the Sentinel. We wish it
were larger so you could see the
wonderful handlebar mustaches Of
the men anyway you can see
that it was taken in "horse ana
buggy" days.
Another recent gift is report
on the town. written at the tins
the lights were installed, June IL.
1913, which gives the entire pro-
gram for the evening. The article
is written in pencil and unsigned
and is entitled "Gaithersburg -
II is Progressive"
This unknown writer of 1913
pointed out that the town had
been Incorporated in 1898, there
by becoming a body polite" That
it was situated in the heart of
Montgomery County-had an ele-
walton Of 525--the best of water
excellent train service to the
city and give macadam roads
connecting it with every section of
the county"
In it's business section were
number of general merchandise
stores, meat stores, furniture
stores, drug store, two up-to-
Date livery stables-with automo-
bile Accommodations Whatever that
may be) a large modern bakery
and ice cream manufactury, three
churches and a graded high school
second TO none, a lumber and coal
yard, a telephone exchange, post
office with three rural routes,
monumental shop. real estate Of
fee, three public halls, two bar
Der shops several first class ply
sicians and two dentists.
"Not only Is Gaithersburg a
progressive business center" con
tinues the writer, "but it is also
a DESTROYS residential town. Less
than ten years ago lin the early
19O0's) J. w. Walker, who owned
the farm adjoining the town con-
ceived the idea of sub dividing
part of it into building lots" and
so Walker Avenue came into be-
ing. In 1913 every lot with only
a few executions was improved
with a fine up-to-date dwelling"
Since it was incorporated in
1898 the town had been governed
by mayor and council. In 1913
r. II. Miles was mayor, and the
council consisted of Carson Ward,
Joseph c.. Phoebus, Albert Meem
and John w. Walker, with Will
liam G.. Davis, clerk.
1t was big day for Gathers
burg when the electric street
lights were first turned on that
summer evening in 1913. The
town had special celebration
which featured addresses by Of
ficials, citizens and representa-
tives Of the Potomac Electric
Company of Washington.
The story says, 1.-THE Honorable
Mayor, H. r. Miles, presided at
the opening ceremonies and made
the address of welcome, after
which. owing to his illness 1.-THE
writer did not say what allied Mr..

OPAOrders Release Of M oterioIs

Regional CPA Director William P. Romans today called upon all per- sons holding building materials for enterprises such as rase tracks, theatres, and other entertainment projects whose completion or ex- pansion have no chance of receiv- ing CPA approval, to release these materials for the construction of veterans housing.
 Portions of some such projects were barely started before the Vet erans' Housing Program Order Number ] took effect on March 26 and cannot legally be completed without authorization. Why use any more materials on them under these circumstances?" Romans asked.
 Under the terms of WHIP Order Number 1, CPA cannot halt con- struction which was started by March 26. Some of these projects still hold large quantities of lum- Der and other building materials on hand. We are aware of one case where lumber enough to build eigh- teen veterans homes is held by a group who must be aware by now that they can never win CPA ap- proval to complete the project" he said.
 These people break no law in holding building materials needed for the construction of homes but everyone of us has a moral obliga- tion to do whatever can be done to solve this nations most critical problem" Romans said.
 The Regional CPA director said that he believes the total amount of building materials now held by individuals and organizations hop ing to win CPA approval for non- housing construction amounts to "an impressive quantity and perhaps enough to build hundreds of homes in the New England area alone"
