faith which Lois the grandmoth-
er of Timothy and Eunice, his
mother, had in God, and which
they passed on down to Tim
othy. Mrs. Rimson had been
al the point Of death during
the past week and is still Sc
riously i'll in the hospital in

l. many doctors advise drinking
Ovaltine for two reasons:
First, Ovaltine is one Of the richest
food sources of vitamins and minerals
in the world. Each cup, made with
milk, provides valuable amounts of
vitamins A, Bi, c. D, G and Niacin,
and minerals Calcium, Phosphorus
and Iron. These vitamins and minerals,
so important to speedy recovery, are
often deficient in convalescent diets.
Second, Ovaltine supplies basic food
substances-complet proteins to re-

three-run lead going into the low
er half of the ninth, when ne hand
ed the Bethesdians a pair of walks,
single and a double, and hit one
batter, which resulted in three
runs and made it necessary to go
into extra innings. Rockville failed
to score in the 10th and 18th, but
consecutive singles by Huck Nc

| The Rockville Red Sox got off to
a running start in their opening
game of the Upper Montgomery
County Baseball League last SUM-
day by downing the Gaithersburg
Cardinals by a score of 6 to 3.
Don Benson went all the way
for the Red Sox and was in rare
form limiting the Cardinals to
three hits. He was in trouble in
only one inning, the sixth, when
the bases were loaded and nobody
out but he escaped with only two
runs being scored.
The Red Sox took advantage of
two hits and a walk in the first
inning and scored three runs. They
were never headed after that.
Httchinson's hard hit single scor-
ing Briscoe and Benson in the 7th
.sewed up the game.
