Slwithodt. the se) with Caleb Bently
as the first postmaster. Sometime
during the Civil War the official
spelling was changed to Brooke
vile with the 'eO. Recently l
ordered new postmark and the
manufacturer made a mistake and
spelled the name without the 'e'.
A man from as far away as Den
mark wrote about it to find out
which was correct. The error has
been corrected. \
"More than 80 post offices in the
United States begin with Brook!

lar Brooks.

have all disappeared and Georgia
avenue extended is taking it's
place. Brookville pike began at
this village, with the toll gate, at
Olney. 1t was the second hard
surfaced or turnpike in the coun-
try. Brookville road or Brookeville
road left the main pike at Tri-
angle, now Montgomery Hills, and
was used by farmers to drive cat

clear up doubts about the correct

write me about any family or in
cidents they might know in con-
nection with Brookeville?"

Mr.. Tracewell explained to the
ladies that the Maryland State
Roads Commission is partly to
blame for it spells Brookeville
Road, first with an 'e' and then
without it, all within a few blocks.
Did not the MSRC do the same
thing here in Rockville-and by
spelling "Veirs" incorrectly on a
marker on Veirs Mill Road, cause
"Viers Mill Village" to be erron-
eously named?
The Sentinel and members of the
Veirs family tried vainly to- have
that corrected before the village
was constructed.

The second part of her demon
stration was on the making of pie
crust that would be tender and
fiaky. After making and baking a
crust, a rich lemon filling was
added and a beautiful meringue
topping was put on and baked.
The Home Agents received this
prize winning pie. Then Mrs.
Wells transferred a baked custard
from pie tin into baked shell.
This is quite feat but it looked
easy when she did it. There will
be no soggy crust under a custard
pie under this condition.
Her third recipe was for the
making of a pineapplc-nut bread.
Winners of the door prizes were
Mrs. Anna Nicholson winning the
nut bread, Mrs. Forest King, the
cake layers and Mrs. Ella Cue, the
custard pie.

The home of, Mrs. Fred Doering
was the scene of very lovely tea
given by Mrs. Doering and Mrs.
Russell Watkins in honor of Mrs.
Leo Clagett, retiring president of
the Potomac-Glen Homemakers'
Club. Mrs. Ralph Beall, the new
president of the club, presented
Mrs. Clagett with a lovely book as
a token of affection from the club.
Mrs. Edward Simon, new
member, sent bountiful amount
of a Syrian delicacy made with
figs between fine favored pastry
for the tea.
Club members with Mrs. Will

Staff Busy With Reports
The Home Demonstration staff
has been busy finishing up the An.
nual Reports. For Mrs. Cue, sec.
rotary, it is her first; for Miss
McLuckie, her third, and Miss
Turner, her twenty-sixth. In the
combined report of the agents, a
detailed story tells what were the
goals and accomplishments for
1913.
Twenty-six clubs and two new
groups have carried the Home
makers program and twenty clubs
have carried the All Girls pro-
gram.
On December 10th new group
was organized in the Croydon
Park area. Mrs. Helen Haines and
Mrs. Mary Trumbo brought the
new group together in the Home

talk over plans. They will meet
next in the Agents office on Janu-
airy 18th.
Valley View To Organize
On January 9th the Home Dem
onstration Agent will meet with a
group of women in the Valley
View area, near Gobbels Corner, to
plan to organize. Mrs. Fentress, of
Wheaton Road, telephoned to ask
if that neighborhood might be en-
rolled. She had heard of Home
makers Clubs through members of
the Homewood II Club.
Well, there are still five neigh
borhoods that want to be organ
lied. The spirit of the Agent is all
for them, but how to juggle an al
ready crowded schedule will take
some figuring.

The Burtonsville and Laytons-
vile Clubs are the first to have
their club enrolment list for 1949
into the Agents office. Their Off
GERS are to be congratulated.
The Damascus Club sent in their

'This and That" in the Evening

raging about the spelling of

ago by Basil Brooke and occupied
by members of the family ever
since. Her letter follows:

recently could also be spelled
"Brookville" if preferred, was
named for the village of Brooke
vile, Montgomery County, which
was the residence for few days,
or at least over night, of President
James Madison, who took refuge
there in 1912 when the British
troops raided Washington.
"Col. Richard Thomas founded
the village of Brookeville and
named it for his wife, Deborah
Brooke.
"In those days there was no

road in Chevy Chase was the direct
route from Georgetown which was
a city so years before Washington,
into Montgomery County, or what
is now Montgomery County, and
on up to Brookeville, 20 miles or
more from Georgetown.
"The descendants of the old
family of Brooke who landed in
Southern Maryland in 1850 are
very particular that the name be
spelled with an e. at the end, SO
please do not think that Brooke

spelled inaccurately.
