Montgomery Side|ights
By ELSIE WHITE HAINES

February is to US the longest
month of the year despite it's 2S
days. The weather is dreary, there
is sleet and snow and everyone
usually has the sniff1es.
The month does have three very
interesting holidays however =
Lincoln's birthday on the 18th
Valentines Day the 14th and
Washington's birthday on the 22nd
Then too, there is Ground Hog
Day by which old timers set much
store. We are always uplifted if
the ground hog fails to see his
shadow, despite ourselves.
Speaking of Washington - did
you know that the Washington of
Virginia were interested in our old
Brookevlle Academy where many
leading citizens were educated be.
fore this county had it's system of
public schools?
Over the weekend we found
most interesting a catalogue of the
academy for 1833-1834 which was
discovered in the caves of an old
house near Goshen by it's new own
er, C. r. Huddleston. Mr.. Huddle-
ston very graciously loaned the
catalogue and several other inter-
esting items to the Sentinel.
DR.. Henry Howard was presi-
dent of the Academy at that time
DR.. William B. Magruder, treas
urer; Allen Bowie Davis, secre-
tary; and other trustees were
Thomas Riggs, Richard B. Dorsey
Remus Riggs and Ignatius Waters
Teachers were William Hill, prin-
cipal; Elisha J. Hall and George
w. Gray assistants.

Among The Homemakers

and l.. B. Armstrong of Laytons-
vile, to go to Beltsville to look
over the model U-shape kitchen.
At noon, the group visited the
kitchen and each phase of this
well-planned, labor and step-sav-
ing kitchen was explained. 1t is
worth the time of everyone who is
building a home or re-organizing
a kitchen to make trip to see this
exhibition in the Home Economics
Building at Beltsville.
Very Special Year Books
The Olney-Sunshine Homemak-
ers' Club met with Mrs. Harrie
Craver. AS each clubs year books
are given, the Agent marvels at
the useful completeness of the
work of the Program Committee.
The Olney-Sunshine year book was
written in long hand by Miss Ber-
tina Brown and Mrs. Fletcher
Brown. Each book had some very
special picture or cartoon for the
member whose name was on the
book. AS the club members exam
ined the books there was much
laughter and amusement over the
personal quips. Miss Bertha has
a very clever and keen sense of
humor and her cartoons~h kindly
at vulnerable spots.

ington Grove in the morning and

The new president, Janice Palm
err. presided at meeting of the
Montgomery County Holstein Calf
Club held January "a at the home
of Robert Dorsey, with fourteen
members present.
Roll call was answered with my
APlans for 1949." More accurate

stressed, as well as new projects.
The members were reminded by
Mr. Whip to have their Dairy
Achievement Records in by Febru-
airy Is.
Grover Walker discussed the
buving of calves for the annual
calf party. He said calves with
good records were hard to find,
therefore making this a rather
difficult task.
The subject of the meeting, "The
Control of Cattle Lice" was led
by Barbara and Joyce Riggs, with
discussion by the group.
The next meeting will be held on
February % at s P. M. with Joan,

First, there was the radio talk as
the Agent substituted for Miss
Virginia McLuckie on her pro-
gram, "The Home Agent Calls"
every Friday over WGAY at 9:45.
Why don't you write Miss Nc
Luckie and ask her to talk on some
homemaking problem you need
help on? She gives excellent con-
sumner information on buying
household supplies and current in
formation that you need to know.
Now, who will be the first to ask
for help over our new attempt over
WGAY to reach more people in
Montgomery County?
Foreign Exchange Student

drove over to Ednor to talk with
the first vice-president of the Coun-
Gil of Homemakers. Mrs. Andrew

Town Expansion In Effect
A NEWCOMER.

Rockville, which had its beginnings long before
the Revolutionary War is much larger town this week
On June l. 1919, it expanded from approximately
square mile in to six times the size gained
several hundreds in population at the same time.
This came about mostly through the efforts Of our
far-seeing Mayor and Council who consulted with the
Montgomery County delegates to the General Assembly
and had them put through Legislature plan to take
care of the expansion Yesterday, Twin Brook Develop
ment Harriet Park, some undeveloped land as we'll as
the cOlored sections of Lincoln Park and Haiti, became
q part of the town.
Rockville has fine schools, a library, numerous
churches good shops where almost anything might
need may be purchased fair transport aton-and best
Of all low tax rate AS Mayor LAMAR Kelly would
say, Rockville thank goodness was wisely Incorporated
many years ago. so it is able to give its citizens sin
gle purpose government undivided authority. 1t
has no overlapping county functions, hence has low
AT present the rate is 9Oc per $1oO valuation
this of course in addition to the basic county rate
of $l88, The basic County rate provides citizens
with education for their children, police protection
county roads health welfare and other county func-
tons For the 90c paid the town of Rockville its cti
Bethesda, for instance pay the Suburban Sanitary
front-foot benefit tax, park and planning tax metro
politan area tax and other taxes such as fire. library,
etc. in addition to its basic County tax.
In dollars and cents, the average modest home in
kockvle which is assessed for around $2700 pays its
town only 4 or $25 year which the Mayor states is
often less than the frontfoot benefit tax of other areas
For this small sum of money we get water sewerage
street lighting street maintenance and all the things
that go to make completely healthy and happy com
munity And then there's another reason Rockville has
low taxation, namely its fire department
Rockville has no fire tax and yet has fire depart
ment oterlng complete fire protection and ambulance
service This department with its six pieces of mod
ern equipment is second to none-the splendid spirit
Of the department is the for its great
and the resulting service to the town at no cost
Under its present the town dates back only to
1901 when an act of Legislature so designated it.
But Just when the village had its beginning do not
know. We do know that there was a village of some
sort when Braddock encamped near Rockville nearly

An Appreciation

Practically stranger in Rockville having lived
there only two years. it is my desire to pay deserved
tribute to Rev. j. W. Rosenberger pastor of the Meth
Qdst Church. who shortly is expected to be sent to
another appointment after passionate of Ii years
On my first and subsequent visits to his church, he
has given me- as well as others attending, hand
clasp and welcome to the services He made it point
TO introduce to members of the congregation, thus
opening new friendships for
Rev. Rosenbergers sermons, delivered with
eloQuence, have shown study and understanding of
the Bible and its teachings, clearly stamping him
man Of God. Timely and interesting topics have been
the subjects of his dscourses.
At his final service pastor last Sunday, the sin
affection in which the congregation of the church
holds for Rev. Rosenberger could be clearly 1t is
my feeling that his ministrations to the members of
the Methodist Church, and to the Rockville community
as whole the past Is years, will ever be remembered
May God continue to bless Rev. Rosenberger in his
future endeavors.
