County Council Marks
It's First Year GayIy

There were no bouquets in evil
dence on Tuesday at the birthday
party rendered the county council
by the League of Woman Voters
and the Charter Committee tn
mark it's first birthday, save the
orchid, which formed Councilman
Dorothy Himstead's corsage, but
fiowerly compliments, poetry and
witticisms flew around. A birthday
cake with one candle was cut with
a saber provided for the occasion.
Because he is a former Lieutenant
Senior Grade of the USN, Council
man Douglas Bradshaw had the
honor of cutting the first slice. The
cake which was shared with the
press and approximately forty
others who were present was light
and flaky, so it was only to pose
for pictures that he was assisted
by Mrs. James V. Bennett, presi-
dent of the Voters League, Council
President Frederic P. Lee and Col.
Norman B. Ames, president of the
Charter Committee.
The only discordant note was
afforded by Alfred II. Jennings of
Takoma Park who periodically
visited the meeting with a sand
witch placard proclaiming his dis
satisfaction. Even as he chewed
on a slice of the birthday cake, he
shouted that the council had "done
him dirt" in rejecting his applica-
ton for the rezoning of property.
Col. Ames opened the love feast
by telling the council members "you
have given Montgomery County the
best government it has ever had"
Mrs. Bennett heaped on similar
praise in prepared speech which
she said she had planned while
ironing, cooking a stew and talk
