Gold Coin Is
Lost Vicinity
Wash. Grove

In the Lost and Found, Mrs. Jo-
seph Brake is advertising for a
gold coin she lost last week. This
coin is very valuable to Mrs. Brake,
but worthless as far as the money
value is concerned. The back of
the coin is engraved with the mi
tials Of Lucinda e. Delphy and
William Bushby, Mrs. Brakes
grandparents, who were married
in Alexandria, Va, in 1851. Also
engraved on the coin is the year
1900, when this couple celebrated
their Golden Wedding. In talking
to Mrs. Brake, it was interesting
to note that Mr.. Bushby and Hem
ry Wilson were among the first Of
the Methodists who had tents at
the old Camp Meeting grounds at
Washington Grove. Here Mr..
Bushby's daughter Edith and Mr..
Wilson's son met and later mar
ried. Mrs. Edith B. Wilson, who
died in the spring was Mrs.
Brakes mother. It is hoped the
finder Of this coin will read the ad
and return 1t to it's owner.

{" Eyes, There Is A
Santa Claus" Say
! Health Workers

r That DR.. ", Ellicott, County
Health Officer, made an "outstand-
ing" Santa Claus, was an undis-
puted fact according to all those
who attended the Montgomery
County Health Department Christ
mas Party held Monday in the
Richard Montgomery High School
cafeteria. A fact which was dis
plted-there is, or there is not "a
Santa Claus-in the form of a
debate between DR.. Ellicott and
Sidney Wolfson, executive assis-
tant, was cleared in the minds of
those present. Mr.. Wolfson who
took the negative side in the de-
bate, changed his mind when Santa
appeared on the scene. Old St.
Nick made himself useful and dis
tributed the gifts which were ex-
changed.
On the entertainment side there
were dancers-Veronica and Elaine
Carnvale, daughters of Mrs. Flea
nor Carnvale, public health nurse;
Frances Macefon, accompanied by
her sister, Marie; an accordion trio
composed Of two nurses, Mrs. Lily
Borregard, Mrs. Florence Garrett
and Miss Ruth Bancroft, assistant
bacteriologist; and "a pantomime
by the Sanitation Office in which
the Christmas Story was told
while Miss Ruth Book, a clerk in
the executive Office sang carols,
accompanied by Miss Bancroft.
Another highlight Of the party
was the trimming" of two human
Christmas trees, in the persons of
Miss Doris Curtis, who was "dec-
Grated" by co-workers in the ex-
ecutive Office, and Miss Sadie
Gladwin, Supervisor of nurses who
was adorned by workers in her
office. Both looked so attractive
that the contest was declared a
tie.
Square dancing was enjoyed
after the serving Of refreshments.

Build Cardozo Hiqh

The Board of Education has de-
cided to go ahead with its plan to
build a new Cardozo High School
and to ignore the recommended
ton of the Strayer survey that
this project. as well as the pres
ent Cardozo, be abandoned.
Meeting yesterday, the school
board reaffirmed its previous &C
ton, which had been questioned
by Dr.. George D. Strayer of Co.
lumbia University in his survey of
school building needs here. DR..
Strayer advocated making the
proposed new Armstrong and new
Spingarn High Schools larger and
doing away with Cardoza.
The school board voted to re-
affirm it's intention to build both
the new Armstrong and the new
Spingarn Schools as previously
planned in it's long-range building
program.
In another action, the board re-
tired Miss Gertrude L. Watkins,
