Cedar Grove Club
Enjoy Visiting
German Women

One of the most interesting ex-
periences of the Homemakers in
Cedar Grove, was when Mrs. Will
liam E. Beall was asked by the
League of Women Voters to serve
tea to the visiting German Dele
gates, who had been studying
educational activities in this Sec
ton of the Country.
On Tuesday, April 9Th, Mrs. j.
Rene Hemingway guided these
women to the farm home of Mr..
and Mrs. Beall, where the dele
gates had a chance to see a real
American farm home. They visited
the dairy house and the barn. They
enjoyed the living room that Mrs.
Beall had arranged to meet the
family needs. They visited the
basement and saw the frozen
foods locker filled to overlooking
with products of the garden and
the farm and then they enjoyed a
very lovely Tea.
Mrs. Beall, assisted by Mrs.
Ward Fetrow, President of the
Cedar Grove Homemaker Club, and
Mrs. Merhle King, served tiny
i)uffs, stuffed with chicken salad,
dainty decorated sandwiches and
homemade cookies, tea and coffee
in the lovely dining room, which
Mrs. Beall has just refinished in
reproductions of Early Colonial
furniture.
Miss Grace Frysinger, retired
formerly Home Economist for the
corn-belt states of the Department
of Agriculture, who has been the
National Representative of the
international Country Women OF
the World Association, to which
our Homemaker Clubs belong, and
Mrs. Howard Smith, President OF
the County Council of HomemakeI
Clubs. Miss Virginia McLuckie anc
Miss Edythe Turner, representing
the University of Maryland Exten'
sion Service were on hand to well
come the guests with Mrs. Beall.
Miss Turner had prepared pre-
viously a statement of the genera
program under which University
of Maryland Extension work IL
carried to the women of the Coun
ty. Mrs. Hemingway had thii
write-up mimeographed so thaf
each one of the delegates coulc
take it home.
In the morning before the dele
gates wen to Mrs. Bealls, the!
visited the Home Demonstration
Office and the Home Agents ha'
laid out various types of illustra
tive material that they use il
teaching projects to the Home
makers and All Girls in thei
Clubs.

Montgomery County residents
need not go into Washington to
view cherry blossoms-the Ken
wood display is eye-filling enough
for anyone. We drove to the Ken
wood Country Club last Friday
through a veritable cloud of bloom
for the first meeting of the Mont
gomery County Press Association
under the new regime. The meet
ings under the presidency of Byron
Sedgewick Wick Bryon) promise
to be both entertaining and prof.
table. The luncheon and what pre-
coded it was good too-Gertrude
Bradley made the arrangements
everyone enjoyed it so much they
voted to return to Kenwood for
the April meeting. By some sort
of sleight of hand, Dean Hugh
Price (who was a guest) and Gene
Glascok now with The Record, won
prizes from Ginn's of course) =.
Some big doings are planned Cor
the near future-a reception for
county officials and party for
members and their families. On the
serious side Dean Price made a
plea for support of the Montgom-
cry County Junior College from
the press and offered to conduct a
series of public relations classes
at the college. More about all these
things later.
An anonymous person writes in
the Montgomery County Com
munity Health Bulletin: "Gone are
the anxious faces previously worn
by so many of US because of worry
over unfinished business. At last
we have a long enough day to
finish or nearly finish our work.
Our cheerful GU faces as we ar
rive at work at 8:15 bear witness
to our joyful re1ponse to the forty
hour week." Can she really mean
it? Or do we detect a bit of
humor?
Do you like "Cawn" pone? Well,
there is nothing like water ground
meal for any kind of corn bread.
Did you know you could go to
Pierce's Mill in Rock Creek Park
and watch the meal being ground,
any Saturday and occasionally on
Sunday? You can choose between
yellow and white corn. Being
"raised" in Southern atmosphere
we did not know yellow corn meal
was ever used for anything but
"hawgs" and other stock, until
after marriage we learned from
the man of the house how rich
yellow corn can be-still prefer it
white however, for breads.
The mill which was built about
1920, grinds grain with water. The
structure was restored with public
funds in 1886 and is administered
by the National Park Service.
Speaking of Southern raising

1864 by great great uncle, then

Landlord Convicted
In Tenant beatinqs

William R. MacIlrath. 64-year-
old landlord, convicted in the
shooting and beating Of three of
his tenants, will be sentenced
later this month by Judge Edward
A. Tamm, after an investigation
by the District Court probation
Office.
MacIlrath faces a possible 80
year prison term as the result Of
his conviction yesterday by a
jury on three charges of assault
with a deadly weapon. The jury
deliberated for nearly three hours.
Despite a long and impassioned
self-defense plea by Defense
Counsel Charles E. Ford, the
panel Of four women and six men
decided that the elderly defen-
dant was not himself assaulted
just before he fired one shot from
a .44-caliber revolver into Joseph
M. Sosa and then beat Sosa's
