Mercury On Way Up And
Out OF Thermometer

Where does the thermometer
stand now? That is a question
which has been heard frequently
in and around Rockville during
the past month or two. Of course
we refer to the giant thermometer
OH the court house lawn which
,ssows the cay to day progress of
tn Canned Food Drive being
prc.notuI by TIL, Laymen's Asso-
citation of Rccllville's Protestant
Churches.
when the goal of $4,000 cans
was set, many Rockville residents
shook their heads and said it
couldn't be done. 1t did seem like
a large number for a community
the size of Rockville. But the
committee was impressed with the
dire need for food in Europe and
Asia and insisted that it should
be done. The $4,000 mark has now
been passed, and from the way
red paint has been added to that
thermometer OF late, it's a safe
guess that the drive will attain
its goal.
Already the committee has been
congratulated by an official of
UNRRA, which organization is
sponsoring the drive on a national
scale. It the thermometer blows its
top, Rockville and it's environs
will have made most noteworthy
achievement.
Certainly this is worthy couse
as the need is great. Members Of
the community are urged to bring
their canned goods to the central
collection station at H. M. Whites,
just under the telephone exchange.
1t is hoped that the drive may be
completed by March 18th.
