Waltonites And
Lions To Hold
July Carnival

Reuben Riggs is chairman of a
committee of the Izaac Walton
League which will cooperate with
a similar committee from the
Rockville Lions Club in sponsor
ing Carnival in Rockville the
end of July. Proceeds will benefit
the worthy activities of both or
CARNATIONS. Other members of Mr..
Riggs, committee are Slack Mich
olson, Joe Dawson, Jack Diamond
and Charlie Merry. All the stand
ard attractions will be at the
carnival and many new ones will
be offered. A new automobile will
be given avail also.
At the regular meeting of the
League, held last week, definite
plans were made for making a
real preserve for ducks out of the
ponds along the Potomac from
Edwards Ferry to Seneca. This
will require much work so that
there will be a reasonable flow of
water in these popnds at all times.
Feed will also have to be planted
as most of the natural food has
been killed off by floods and ice
jams. The Club will provide wild
celery and will plant an area. The
Bethesda Chapter will make a
planting at the same time, and it
will be interesting to note which
the ducks seem to prefer. 1t is
hoped that the land owners in
this neighborhood will cooperate in
this undertaking because of the
real value to the county of the
propagation of wild life.
Slack Nicholson has organized
a soft ball team among the mem
bers of the Club and it will be
entered in the Montgomery Coun-
ty Soft Ball League.
Until some public spirited citi-
zen contributes some nails and
hardware, the Club House at SEN
eca will have to stand as it is.
II anyone is interested in furnish
ing some material, call or write
Charles G. Ostertag, Rockville,
and he will furnish details on the
supplies needed to tear down the
old house and enlarge and repair
the present Club House. The men
would like to have the building
completed by summer.

Appeals For Contributions

ing decided that a carnival is out

sent out the following letter:
Dear Friend:
"The year 1916 marks one-quar-
ter century Of continuous progress
of the Rockville Volunteer Fire
Department, Incorporated.
"On March 8. 1921, the Rock
vile Department was born, and
from that day on it has constant
ly grown and improved, until to-
day it stands out as one of the
most completely equipped and
thoroughly trained organizations
in tho field.
"The five pieces of "two-way''
radio equipped, up to date fire :
fighting and rescue apparatus and
the modern two-story brick build
ing which houses this equipment
are far cry from the hand-drawn
hose reels which constituted the
equipment of the early days Of
the department.
"The achievements of the de-
partment represent many hours of
self-sacrifice and diligent work on
the part of the men who have
brought this organization from
its infancy, through many hard
years, to the maturity which it en-
joys today.
These same men, who perform
these tasks without compensation
of any kind, realize the great part
that you, the friends of the Rock
vile Fire Department, play in pro-
viding funds with which to oper-
ate and improve the department.
"We take this opportunity. TO
request you to place your contrib
ution in the enclosed envelope and
return same to this committee.
Thanking you in advance for
your generosity, which will insure
the continuance of the efficient fire
and rescue service to which the
people Of Rockville and vicinity
have steadily become accustomed,
we remain,
Very truly yours.
CONTRIBUTION COMMITTEE
Thomas Slater, Chairman, Con-
rad Schneider, Howard Musgrove,
Raymond Candy"
The very dry spring and the
large number Of fires has put a
big drain on the Rockville equip
ment. SO, il possible, double your
contribution this year, the com
mittee asks.

PepcO's 50th Year
Swallowed By The
Coal Strike

Plans for the celebration of the
Both anniversary of the founding
OF the Potomac Electric Power
Company this month are some-
what dampened by the enforced
brown-out due TO the coal strike.
The Public Service Commission of
Maryland has directed the Pepco
to make every possible effort to
have its customers in Maryland
observe the same restrictions on
the use of electricity as have been
made effective in. d. C.
Pepco, which employed only nine
in its first Office building in 1896,
now gives jobs to an average Of
l,764 persons. The average Wash
ingtonian Of 1896 looked upon
electricity as fad, and something
that might be here today and gone
tomorrow! SO Oscar T. Crosby,
first president Of Pepco, concen-
trated on street light and trans
portation.
Reduction in rates has been a
source of helping people use more
electricity to tighten their tasks.
In 1896 electric service was an
expensive luxury. Seventy-one kill
owatt hours, or the average
monthly bill for domestic use, cost
about $l3.49 then, compared with
today's cost of 1898 for the same
quantity of electricity.
