Brad Clark EnrOlls
AT Univ. of New Mexico

Brad Clark, formerly of Rock
vile, has enrolled at the Univer-
sity of New Mexico. In choosing
to continue his studies there, Brad
says that it was due primarily to
an impression he had of that part
of the country in recent motor
trip there, and the fact that there
are only 5000 students enrolled
there and that it has "a large
spacious campus and all the neces-
sary facilities to carry on a pro-
gressive institution of higher edu-
cation"
Brad has recently secured the
patent for an invention he de-
signed which is labor and time
saving device for typewriters. 1t
fits over the character part of a
typewriter key, can be detached,
and is used for the purpose of
drawing straight or dashed lines,
horizontal or vertical, in one mo-
tion.

Department News

Friday morning at $50 A. M.
members of the Rockville Fire De-
partment plowed through drifts to
get to their apparatus, and then
drove over the snow covered streets
to the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. S. L.
King at 908 City Road. The fire,
which started from gas heater
which had been left burning all
night, was under control by the
time the Kensington and Chevy
Chase companies arrived. Bethes-
ia filled in for Rockville. The Sec
ond story of the house was badly
burned, but the first floor suffered
only smoke and water damage.
Mrs. King, who feared her chill
dren were in the house, was res
cued from the burning building by
Harry Bean, Marion Atwell, W. s.
Simmons, and Asst. Chief, "Ben-
ny" Bond. Mrs. Lee Offutt, 93,
was taken to the ground from the
rear porch roof by Lyle "Red"
Baines.
The men really appreciated the
hot coffee which was served them
by neighbors, Mrs. Frank Schnei-
der and Mrs. Lillian Giddings.
Saturday evening the fremen
battled snow drifts to Reeds Inn
on Cider Barrel hill, Route No.
240. The Gaithersburg squad had
the fire under control when the
local men arrived.
The same night a fire at the
Crawford home in Potomac called
the men into the snow drifts once
more. Being unable to get through
to Potomac because of drifts, the
equipment detoured by the Bank
of Bethesda and River Road. They
got to the fire to find ID pieces of
equipment there and the house
completely demolished.
Sunday night the Rescue Squad
took John R. Higgins to Suburban
Hospital after he fell down some
steps.
Tuesday morning an oil burner
at 308 Reading Avenue caused
smoke damage and brought the

Bachelors Bewail
Bare BreadbOxes

A definite need for helpmates
was felt by bachelors and widow
ers in a nearby community. The
matter was brought forcibly to the
attention of the men during the
recent blizzard when without
bread they went frantically from
store to store in their desperate
hunt for the staff of life, only to
find that the bread trucks were
unable to get through. Finally a
house-to-house canvass turned up
enough extra bread for them to
get through. One widow has sug-
gested that the unattached males
look to the future and do some
thing constructive about their sit
uation before the next S-inch biz
card comes along.

State Snow Removal

The SENTINEL would like to add
its voice to the many who are ask
ing why the State Roads Commits
sion had let their Montgomery
County snow removal equipment
deteriorate to such an extent that
it could not keep even Route 240,
the gateway to the West" open
during the recent snow storm. In
many instances the county-owned
plows and tractors were compelled
tc open snow-choked State high
ways to get to county roads. For
the individual workers on both the
State and County forces we hava
only the highest praise, they
worked night and day in their eff
forts to clear the roads.
