old cemetery, known as "Willov
Tree Graveyard" about four miles
out, now said to be covered will
briers-might he the site. An ole
grave in Rockville Union Cemetery
is that of John Harding, borr
1888, buried in 1852, according to
the ancient stone, which marks the
grave.
We have not seen the stone but
an early description of it reads
ut is probably of Seneca stone
about 2 by A feet, with skull and
cross bones toward the base. The
lettering is imperfect-the date of
death may be 1882 instead of
1852"
Mr.. Robertson said that Mrs.
Mulfinger's Bake Shop stood
where the A. & P. vs. located. He
recalls the "horse cakes" and the
tinkling bell over the door. The
Mulfingers had a dog which would
stand in the window smoking a
pipe.
This town has it's ZERO"
stone too. The distance between
the Zero stone near the White
House in Washington to the one
buried now under the cement at
the corner of Fayette and Mont
gomery in front Of the Warner f..
Humphrey establishment, is 16
miles.
The first Methodist Church be-
fore the Civil War was located
where the Jerusalem Church is.
The old parsonage was nicknamed
"The Ark"
Former Mayor d. M. Bland
ford is a nephew of DIR. Samuel
Mudd of Charles County, who set
the leg of John Wilkes Booth,
after he shot President Lincoln.
From the courthouse to the west
was once called Quality Hill
from the courthouse east was
known as Frog Town, why we did
not learn.
Another interesting possession
Of Mr.. Robertson is clipping
from The Sentinel of a Proclama-
ton by Governor A. w. Bradford,
dated July 4th, 1862, in which he
calls upon the "loyal men of
Maryland" to answer the call Of
the President of the U. S. who
had asked for three hundred thous-
and volunteers to help preserve the
Union.

could accept that responsibility
AS there were no nominations from
the floor, the slate was voted in

MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
BIZ ELSIE WHITE HAINES

In 1887, Clifford H. Robertson
Rockville lawyer and student of
local history, prepared a list Of
100 questions relating to persons
and events connected with Rock
vile, which were published in The
Sentinel, ten week for ten weeks.
These questions and their answers
formed the nucleus of a talk Mr.,
Robertson gave Wednesday ever
ming before the members of the
Montgomery County Historical So
ciety and others, at the home of
w. Randolph Talbot, with Mrs.
Margaret Welsh, hostess. i
Here are a few of the items
that interested and entertained the
group. 1t was typhoid fever cpl
demic that started agitation that
resulted in the installation of the
present sewer system in the town.
"West End Park" is so called not
because it is west of the business
section but because the West
family owned it.
William R. Humphrey, Jr.,
owned the first automobile in the
town-a one cylinder Cadillac. DR..
George E. Lewis was second with
two cylinder Maxwell, the Rev.
Thomas j. Packard came third
with Studebaker, just about the
time Jim Kelchner bought the
parts and assembled one for him
self.
The Did hay scales which were
a part of the equipment of every
town in the old days, stood at
spot that would now be about in
front of the Confederate Memo
rial. In proof of this Mr.. Robert
son produced a photo which showed
the scales and the iron fence that
once inclosed the courthouse. Ruts
in the roadway show it to be of
dirt construction. Where Wilson's
drug store stands was a white
building which looks like an inn.
We read once that the Washing
ton Hotel' stood on the site Of
Wilson's at one time. All the
houses seem to have had white pal
ing fences-there was one in front
Of what is now the Kingdom Build
ing, where The Sentinel is housed
Another interesting thing was
a copy Of plat of the town Of
Rockville as recorded in 1903.
Marked off in nice squares run
ming east and west are Wood
Lane, Middle Lane, Commerce
Lane, and Jefferson Street. North
and south were Washington Street
and Adams Street, and that was
all. jefferson Street plainly was
the thoroughfaIe. Remember we
told you last week that according
to Miss Maggie Fields the Old
Georgetown Road came into the
town about at the site of the fire
house and went up Jefferson
Street several blocks before turn
ing toward Gaithersburg
AS far as we could learn, the
first church building in the vicin-
ity was erected by the Episcopali-
ans around 1927. The exact loca-
ton Of that building is unknown
Mr.. Robertson and others are sure
it was built where the Union Gem
ctery is located. Some think the

AMONG THE
HOMEMAKERS

On Thursday Miss Virginia Nc
Luckie and Miss Edythe M.
Turner Joined Miss Julia Watkins
in Judging tlae exhibits of the Flu
tu1e Homemakers of America at
the Damascus Community Fair.
This group proved the soundness
of their teaching, for their Home
Economics teacher was suddenly
taken i'll and the whole organiza-
ton and problem of the Home Ex-
hibit had to be handled by the
girls.
When the judges arrived at 10
A. M. the exhibit was ready. The
heads of each department had her
articles attractively displayed and
perfectly entered and listed so that
tie task of judging was easily
speeded through. If this Fair did
nothing more than give the girls
a chance to assume responsibility
it was a gigantic success and
worthy of sweep-stake ribbon.
After an excellent luncheon in the
school cafeteria, Miss Turner
dashed off to the Wheaton Club
meeting.
Miss Frances Wolfe, president
of the Wheaton Club, had called
the meeting to order by the time
Miss Turner reached the home ,of
the hostess, Mrs. j. Armstrong.
New officers were elected with
Mrs. w. T. O'Callaghan, the new
president for 1947.
Several members of the club
have now developed part time ac-
tivities which are an outgrowth of
skills they developed through their
club activities. Mrs. Ruth Simons
was reported to be doing very we'll
with her upholstery and slip cover
business. Mrs. H. Hillyard has
developed the Christmas Kit prof.
ect into business and has beauti-
full textile painted articles and
many wooden and stuffed toys for
sale in the basement room of her
home.
Mrs. Evelyn Macintosh, another
member of this club, has been in
demand by clubs in Prince George
and Montgomery counties, because
of her talent in making shell jew
elry.
The club members entered into
the discussion on Better Lighting
in the Home and were interested
in checking with the light meter
as to whether they were doing
their handwork that afternoon in
the correct light.
Rockville Club
At 1880 the same evening, the
Rockville Homemakers Club mem
bers gathered at the Courthouse
to drive to the home of Mrs. EN-
manuel Sachs in Washington.
Tlhirty-six members arrived there
on time and enjoyed the evening
in Mrs. Sachs rumpus room. Mrs.
Walter Pack was elected president
for 1947. Mrs. John Stiles was
startled to have the new candidate
for vice president list some quail
fications which should be consid-
cred in electing a president. 1t
was good natured fun and created
much laughter.
The club gave a rising vote of
thanks to the old officers who
have carried the club so success
fully through the year. Plans for
a party in January were made.
Mrs. Fraley and Mrs. Hopkins dis
played some lovely Christmas gift
ideas.
After refreshments, a neighbor
of Mrs. Sachs invited the members
over to see her home which has
just been refurnished in Regency

THORN BL0WSAT
 MIDNIGHT" NOW
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Warmers comedy farce, The Horn Blow at Midnight" now at the 20th Century, and which stars Jack Ben- ny and Alexis Smith, is notable for a number of reasons.
 Taken from an original idea by Aubrey Wisberg, the film had Mark Hellinger as producer and Raoul Walsh as director. It was adapt ed for the screen by Sam Hellman and James " Kern. The com edy marked Jimmy Kerns last writing effor for Warner Bros. be- fore embarking on a drectorial career of his own.
 This hilarious comedy also fea- lures Reginal Gardiner, Allyn Jos lyn, Dolores Moran, Guy Kibbee, John Alexander and Franklyn Pangborn.
 The Horn blows at Midnight is a screen-full of froth and non sense, a comedy fantasy with it's action set largely in heaven.

those territories were available fer separations.
 To LedDe Jap Assets
 The letter stressed that it was United States policy to leave in China, Manchuria and Korea all Japanese assets found ther, for the settlement of separations ac- counts in those countries.
 The mission seeks to discover, it said, the present status" of Man churia and North Korea in view Iof reported changes since the end of the war, and to evaluate the effect Of these changes on Korean and Chinese production capacity.
 It said Pauley and his group intend to recommend "in view CT the present conditions of mining and industrial capacities in Man |ohuria and northern Korea, what facilities should be removed from Japan and distribution made to China and Korea"
 PauEey's Assignment
 tPart of Pauley's assignment in the Far East is to learn how much industrial and mining equip ment the Russians already have re- moved from Manchuria and north- ern Korea. At last reports he had not yet received Russian permission to enter northern Korea; most of Manchuria, since it's evacuation by the Russians, is under Chinesl Communist control)
 The letter emphasized that ir recommending removal of equip ment from Japan maximum con sideration shall be given to the in- tegration of economic development in Greater China, Korea, the Philip pines and other countries victimized by Japanese aggression"
 In a statement issued earlier Pauley said the separations pro gram for Japan would not reduce that nations production capacity below the 1883 level. There vii remain, he asserted, sufficient capacity to make the things neces- sary for civilian requirements"
