Mayor Kelly will not resign his
pisition as head man in Rockville
if he is elected to the County
Council for which he is running
on the Democratic Victory Com
mittee. 1t had been 1umored
around town the he would. The
Sentinel put the question to him
Monday, and he reiterated the
statement he made at the begin
ing of the campaign-he did not
go into county politics to get a
job-he had job to complete as
Mayor of Rockville-that comes
first, he says. An engineer, a sue
cesstul business man with six
years experience in municipal
government, he should make a real
contribution to the county if
elected. He gets no pay as Mayor
of Rockville-and if elected to the
County Council would get only
1900 year. "l'll get out state
ment," said the obliging mayor
who dotes on statements"

1850 : 81 PLAYS

The Rockville Little Theatre is
making plans to put it's 1950-5l

ing held on July 26 at the home

reduced prices and subscribers can
insure themselves of admission to
their choice of the Thursday, Fri

To choose these 50-51 season plays,
a reading group, under the chair
manship of Eric Purdum was
formed. Those in the group are
Dorothy Ellis, Rosemary Dorst,
Dorothy Mostofi and Leslie Able.
Following the business meeting,
refreshments were served and all
relaxed and enjoyed the very fine
hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs. Bailey.
Despite the chill evening, about
six hardy souls~took a dip in the
Bailey's beautiful swimming pool.
Twenty nine people were present.

themselves with the Rockville Little
Theatre should contact Lloyd

ience-a brilliantly lighted mar
quee-solid glass front doors,
streamlined lobby and well ap-
pointed foyer. The 1000 seats are
built on a scientific posture con-
troll principle, and push-back to
leave ample room for passing. The

oped RCA "Magic Voice of the
Screen" Shall we see you there?
CONTINUING THE IRA
DITION for hospitality which
their home has enjoyed since the
early 1905, the Edwin L. Davises
of Beallmont (the old Dawson
house at West Montgomery Ave
nue. and Adams street, were
hosts to the Montgomery County
Historical Society Friday evening.
w. Randolph Talbot presided at
the business meeting which fol-
lowed a picnic supper - enjoyed
indoors, a thunder storm having
drowned out the plans for supper
in the yard behind the high hedge
which conceals it from busy Main
! Street.
You know we have often re-
marked in this column of at least
two authentic stories about almost
any historical place-so there
were three written stories about
Beallmont read-all having ap-
parent discrepancies and not any
of them agreeing abut the time
the house was built. We kept per-
fectly mum. We believe the story
Miss Mona Thompson wrote in her
history of Rockville the most
likely. Miss Mona made an ex-
haustive Study of the Hungerford
Tavern in an effort to establish
the old Russell House as the
scene of many events in the early
history of the county. She had
some document which told of Up
ton Beall's staying at the Hung
erford while his house was being
built. Here is her story:
"UPTON BEALL, who succeed
ed his father, Brooke Beall, first
Clerk of the Circuit Court and one
of the earliest and most prominent
of the settlers in the county, moved
in 1872 from his farm, which was
on the Old River Road, adjoining
the farm owned by Buck" Thrift,
about a mile from Travilah, "and
lived at Hungerford Tavern while
his house was being built in Rock
ville". Due to war with England,
building was discontinued until
1915, in which year the house was
completed. 1t was used as head
quarters for the American forces
when located in this neighborhood
during that war. The house re-
tains it's original construction, ex-
cept the large porch across the
front, replacing the smaller one
which was built with the house"
BY THE WAY, speaking Of
Miss Noma's history of Rockville,
which for some unknown reason
she calls Western Gateway to the
National Capital" we have
about eight copies left in the Sen
tinel Office. Price $2.65 including
postage and tax.
Rockville and other county
homes must contain many treas
ures that would add to the collec-
ton being gathered for the furn-
ishing of the old lockhouss and
tavern at Great Falls or to be ex-
hibited in the museum being es-
tablished there. More about this

Presbyterian Pastor
Calls for New Church
In Silver Spring Area :

One Washington Presbyterian
minister, resident Of Silver
Spring. Md, feels that community
is missing the bus" on the mat
ter Of adding a new Presbyterian
church to its rapidly growing ter
ritory.
The Rev. William II. Kepler,
pastor of Northminster Presby-
terian Church. Alaska avenue and
Kalmia road NV. expressed this
opinion yesterday at a meeting
Of the Presbytery of Washington.
"It's unthinkable," Mr.. Kepler
said, that one Of our fastest grow
ing territories doesn't have Pres
byterian church Of our denomina-
ton"
Mr.. Kepler added there are
three Methodist churches in the
area and one Baptist church, with
plans already made to build two
more Baptist churches in Silver
Spring.
1.-THE community has only one
Orthodox Presbyterian Church
and a United Presbyterian Church.
but not one Presbyterian church
Of our denomination" he declared.
Mr.. Kepler's discussion arose
on the heels of a resolution sup
porting the establishment of a
commission on church extension.
This resolution Is to be submitted
to the 162nd General Assembly Of
the Presbyterian Church in the
u. s. A. by the Presbytery Of st.
Paul, MINI.
The resolution, introduced by
the Rev. Paul Schearrer Of the
Takoma Park Presbyteria n
Church, was passed unanimously
by the presbytery members.
Members also voted approval of
the Fred Waring Easter television
show on Easter Sunday, after the
Rev. Earl F. Fowler. pastor Of the
Sixth Presbyterian Church de-
clared: "Television, one Of the
most potent forces in the world, is
being ignored by our church."
The meeting was held in the
Sherwood Presbyterian Church,
Rhode Island avenue and Twenty
second street NE.
