MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
Bv ELSIE WHITE HAINES

Next week everyone connected
with the Stromberg publications
will be on vacation. You will re-
ceive a SENTINEL, but it will not
carry it's usual features. We rec
ommend that you read the story
about things of interest one may
see in his own county-we have not
yet read it so perhaps we will hear
of something new right in our own
backyard, so to speak.
We plan to spend the week in
that backyard, where one may rest
in glider, gaze off up county over
the rim of PARIS Ridge to the love-
ly peak of Sugar Loaf, or drop
cne's eyes and gaze down the row
of zinnias, now in full bloom beside
the garden path.
1T was the remark of friend,
whose home is a city apartment,
that opened our eyes to the delights
Of vacation at home, several
years ago. "How can you want to
leave your delightful, cool, COM
Portable place to come to this?" she
asked as she looked around the
rather cramped room we were oc-
cupying. 1t is well to see things
through another's eyes sometimes.
We always liked the tale told on
her radio program by that incom-
parable "Mirandy of Persimmon
Holler." 1t is an old story about a
farmer who tired of his work,
thought he shaved from morning to
night, never got to go places, had
no money-who said plague take
it all, I'm going to get off this old
place, move to town and take life
easy" So he put his farm in the
hands of smart, young, real es-
tate dealer who advertised it in the
next Sundays paper.
The ad ran like this: "For
Sale-Beautiful farm home. 40
acres of rich bottom land with 10
acres of virgin timber on pictur-
esque hillside. A crystal-clear
stream runs across the property,
with rustic and romantic old farm
house half-hidden by fragrant
honeysuckles and roses. Why not
come out where you can enjoy life
and he your own boss, no alarm
clocks to wake you-just the sing
ing of birds-where you can enjoy
the sunshine and fresh air and live
off the fat of the land"
The old fellow read the ad
through once and then read it
again. Then he said, "Gosh-a-
mighty-that must be my place.

MRS. JAMES w. BARNSLEY
One of the most popular, and
best loved of the 100 women from
all sections of the County, who
make up the Women's Board Of the
Montgomery County General Hos
pital, is Mrs. James w. Barnsley
of Oakdale. Familiarity known to
her friends as Myrtle" "Myrt" :
or "Ma," she is grandmother to
the six children of Commissioner
Brooke Johns and Hazel Barnsley
Johns.
For &c years as a member of
numerous committees, Mrs. Barns
ley has worked for the friendly
little Hospital which stands in
grove of ancient oaks near Olney.
She is the only charter member
now on the Board and one of the
few charter members living.
This year will bring back the
fun and hard work of the Hospi-
tai Supper which, for over 20 years,
has been held on the last Tuesday
in July-this year July 29-at
Sherwood School, Sandy Spring.
Mrs. Barnsley plays an important
part in the Supper. Among other
things, she is Chairman of the
Country Ham Committee. Now
that means she must buy the hams
the previous year-see that they
are properly cured, smoked and
aged-and then properly cooked.
In 1941, when over 1900 persons
were fed, Mrs. Barnsley provided
276 pounds Of ham. This year there
will be more.
Osbourne Stabler cured this
years hams. The method used is
an old one of "the pinch of this
and a spec of that" days. Here is
the rule: Grub hams with mix
ture of dry salt, brown sugar, a
little molasses and salt petre. Put
in barrel with the rest of the mix
ture sprinkled over them. After
six weeks take out and rinse
lightly, then sprinkle with borax
and hang in smoke house and
smoke with hickory wood until
they are the right color"
"The summer heat in the close
meat house gives the real ham
flavor" concludes Mrs. Barnsley.
Now don't you love that? If you
want more definite rule just
ask Osbourne.

TurIey Is 11th End
Signed by Redskins

Doug Turley 210-pound end the
Redskins literally got out of a hat
four years ago, handed in his signed
contract today and found the Wig
wam crowded with aspirants for
wing posts. His was the 18th name
added to the list.
Coming up for his fourth season
with Washington, Turley's effective
ness suffered last season when he
dislocated a shoulder and missed
three games. In 1945 he was re-
garded as the squads best end and
played an important role in the
drive for Eastern honors.
The 2S-year-old pro Duct of Scran-
ton University broke into profess
sional football with the Whining
ton Clippers of the American
League. When that loop folded
during the war its players names
were placed in a hat and National
League clubs drew lots for them
and the Redskins picked Turley' S

DETROIT, June 23.-'The National
PGA championship carries on to-
day without Washington's Lew
Worsham, who played 129 holes of
golf in under par in his f1ve-day
stay at Plum Hollow and found
that wasn't good enough.
Gene Sarazen's feat Of winning
the National Open and PGA in the
same year 1929 is safe for another
IL months and today with Worsham
on the sidelines there's another
pro golfer with two major titles as
his 1947 goal. Colts fortunes change
that quickly.
That would be big Vic Ghezzi,
x5oop-shouldered 35-year-old New
Jersey-born professional, who now
rules as the favorite to win the
PGA, and If successful he plans a
quick trip to England for a crack
at the British Open starting June
80.
Worsham was wishing today that
Ghezzi meant it when he said no.
Ghezzi did not intend to compete
here, but when bad weather forced
continual cancellations of his flight
to England he showed up just in
time to qualify. Yesterday he beat
Worsham in the quarter finals, 3
and 2.
Lew Bows Out Gracefully.
Worsham bowed out in a graceful
manner and with all the popularity
he built up in winning the National
Open last week. "No excuses" he
said. "Vic outplayed me today"
When he missed the putt that would
have sent the match another hole,
Worsham walked the width of the,
green with his arm extended, gave
Ghezzi hearty handshake and a
big smile and patted him on the
back.
Ghezzi visited the press tent be-
fore leaving the club and said, II
beat a great golfer today. That boy
is a good medal player, a good match
player and nice guy to go with it.
He's going to be awfully hard to beat
for many years"

Worsham said an experiment cost
him an important hole, the 30th

stead Of using the spoon he used in
