votes to hold public hearings on
these proposals on March 16.
Traffic Highlights
Mr.. Bradshaw reads highlights
from the annual report of the
Chief of Police. At this point
County Manager Irving G. Nc
Nayr asks the Councils approval
of his appointment of Mason A.
Butcher of Hyattsville as Director
of the Division of Traffic Engineer
ing in the Department of Public
Works at an annual salary of
$4,000. Mr.. Butcher has been in
charge of traffic engineering in
tho research and planning depart
ment of the Capital Transit Com
pany in Washington. He will study
county traffic problems with the
aim to cut down the automobile
accidents so costly in life and
property damage as reported by
the Police Chief. DIR. Merriam re-
marks that avoiding just two of
the accidents Of the past year
would save enough property dam
age alone to pay Mr.. Butchers
salary.
During the last few minutes the
extra seats in the hearing room
have been filling. Mr.. Lee calls
on one group of gentlemen who
are making a repeat visit to re-
port improper drainage and street
paving in subdivision where
they have recently bought new
homes. The Director of Public
Works, George Papageorge, brings
his report of inspection and test
drillings of the streets under fire,
which seem to bear out the citi-
zens complaints. Council members
comment on similar cases which
have been brought to their atten-
tion. Mr. Ice adds that all en-
phasize the need for some such
road ordinance as the Council is
proposing to set definite specifica-
tions for grading and paving of
streets. This is important, he
feels to protect the citizens who
purchase homes and the county
which will later assume main
tenance of these streets.

"Standard Class" At Last

"Standard Class" At Last
"The Ninth Grade of Richard
Montgomery is perhaps the long
sought Standard Glass;" observed
Principal j. j. Tarallo recently.
His statement was made in con-
junction with the graphed results
on the mid year standard tests
which were administered each
RMHS ninth grade and eleventh
grade student about two weeks
ago. The California Progressive
Battery of tests was used and 1t
covered reading, arithmetic and
language.
In each category the ninth grade
made the standard median - 30
percentile - or better, meaning
that achievement for the ninth
grade on the whole is comparable
to what is expected of the average
ninth grade over the country.
Fifty percantile means in gen.
eral that half the class members
fall above the median mark and
the other half fall below the med
ian mark.
Further analysis and diagnosis
of these tests will be made by the
faculty and the results will be
used in planning the second semes-
ter work. Scores of individual pu-
pills have been mailed to their par
ents to show just how they com
pare with standards established
by testing thousands of pupils
throughout the United States.
Because the eleventh grace tests
are still in the scoring process, re-
suits on them will not be available
until next week.

activities of the month of Febru-
ary, she found that 259 Homemak-
ers had attended training schools
at the Extension Office, in the
Court House, between February
1st and 18th. This shows the value
of the work room that the Exten-
sion Agents have in connection
with their office.
These training schools covered
the Slip Cover School of February
1st, 9Th and 9th when 40 women
working on 10 chairs learned how
to make slip covers. The Council of
Homemakers had it's monthly

Homemakers Council is deeply in
terested, held it's meeting on the
18th.
Plans Changed
There has been a change in the
plans for the first Refinishing of
Floors demonstration. 1t has been
found necessary to change the
meeting place. However, the de-
monstration for March 9th on re-
finishing of floors will be held at
the home. of Mrs. John Davis, Z
Saul Road, Kensington. The Pro-
iect Leaders who have been assign
ed to that demonstration will be

The Wheaton Club
Mrs. William Sartain, of Silver
Spring, was hostess to the Wheat
on Homemaker's Club on the 10th.
Mrs. Martain Ries, President Of
the Club, with the help Of Miss

ELSIE WHITE HAINES

Little Miss Rose Ellen Berlin, Sf
Warsaw, down on the Northern
Neck of Virginia, will be 100 years
old Monday, February 27-if she
lives-and surely fate could not
be so unkind as to not let her cele-
brate the century mark-she has
looked forward to it so long.
Followers of this column may
remember that l discovered"
Sister Rose, as her friends call her,
five years ago. She took me to
visit her neighbors, the Wellfords
at Sabine Hall and the Tayloes of
Mt. Airy in lovely old homes not
open to the public. Sabine Hall
built by "King" Carter in 1880 is
owned by a descendant. Mt. Airy,
built about 1850, has always been
occupied by Tayloes-you remem-
ber Mrs. Stansbury who used to
live near Rockville was Tayloe.
But l am disgressing-Sister
Rose five years ago was just as
lively as our Mrs. Margaret Welsh
except that she could not see so
we'll. She is now almost blind and
stays in bed a great deal-but
came to the door when visited re-
Gently.
} "See that dark spot on mothers
cheek ?" asked Miss Rose five
years ago as we looked at some
family portraits in the front par
lor. "A Yankee soldier put his
bayonet through the canvas" said
she indignantly-just as if the
War Between States had occurred
only short time ago. Nearby was
a grandfathers clock which John
Brown is said to have repaired
shortly before he was hanged at
Herper's Ferry. "He did not help it
ony." graphically remarked Miss
Berlin.
Every year on Sister Roses
birthday, her friends, including the
ladies' from Mt. Airy and Sabine
Hall come help her celebrate.
While she was able to see she
would read them something, bit
If poetry or prose. For the last
three years she has recited the
following which she learned many
years ago:
BIBLICAL ALPHABET
A is for Adam who was the first
man
He broke Gods command and then
things began.
B is the Book which to guide us
is given.
Tho written by men, the words
came from heaven.
C is for Christ who for sinners
was slain.
By Him. Oh how freely salvation
we gain.
D is the dove with an olive leaf
green
Returning in peace to the Ark ne
is seen.
E is for Elijah who by the brook
side
Daily with food with wild ravens
supplied.
F is for Felix who sent Paul away
And designed to repent on some
future dav.
G is for Goliath tho stretched on
the plain
By the slime of young David the
giant is slain.
H is for Hannah, how happy was
she.
Her little son Samuel, so holy to
see.
7 is for Isaac. like Jesus he lies
Stretched on the wood a meek
sacrifice.
J is for Joseph who trusting Gods
word
Was lifted from prison to be
Egypt's Lord.
K is for .Korah, Gods wrath ne
defiad
And To-! to devour him the pit
opened wide.
l. is for Lydia-God opened her
heart.
What he bestowed twas her joy to
impart.
M l. for Mary who fed on Christ's
word
Ard Martha her sister, beloved by
the Lord.

quit trying. "They gave me 100

though we got a lot of tough

sive man on the field. Against
Western and Anacostia Lampiris
made tackles on both sides of the
line and If he wasn't the first
lineman to hit the ball carriers he
arrived soon enough to stop the
runners with little yardage.
Tech Performance Cited.>
His performance against Tech
best illustrates his value to East
ern. With the score 6-6 in the
second quarter Of the interhigh
title game, the Trainers pushed
deep into Eastern territory and
had second down with one to 60
on the Rambler IA. A first down
at that point might have been
disastrous.
Lampiris, giving defensive sig
nails. called for a seven-man line,
putting himself over center. On
the snap he drove into the Tech
backaeld. stopped the Trainers
powerful fullback. John Wege,
who was headed toward guard and
the play resulted in a loss. Two
plays later Lampiris, back at line
backer, collaborated to throw Tail
back Snookie Herman for another
loss and Eastern took over.
Hes a fine defensive player, +"
Mentzer commented. Many times
he's slipped through the hole when
the offensive guard has pulled to
lead play and thrown the ball
carrier for a loss"
Both Sita and Lampiris are good
and st. Johns knows it. But COL
lege scouts in the stands can relax
| at least for another year. One of
the things that please Mentzer
most about the two boys-they're

Bigger Tests in Sight
After Gu Cage Team
|Wa|Iops Towson

Catholic University's biggest
basketball scoring spree in a
decade against Towson Teachers
last night came as no surprise to
the Card court followers, who had
watched Gu distinguish itself in
preseason practice scrimmages
with George Washington and
Georgetown.
Coach Abe Rosenfeld is ac-
centing speed and shotmaking to
make UP for lack of height, and
the Cardinals appear ready to
move up in the Mason Dixon
Conference, where they play 16
of their 20 games.
The 1884 opening-game tri-
umph over Towson must not be
taken too seriously, however, as
Towson, with mostly new players
and a new coach, did not show
much.
Rosenfield will know more of
his teams potentialities after next
weeks conference game with
Mount st. Mary's there on Mon
day and American U. at Gu on
Thursday. The Gu mentor has
heard that the Mounts have the
dark horse of the conference.
Catholic U. showed George
Hughes, a freshman from Scran-
ton, for the first time last night
and the youngster not only clicked
for II points but he helped the
Cards move. Joe Della Rata and
Herb Sondericker looked better
with another years experience be-
hind them, and Jim Balint was a
big help off the boards. Della
Rata scored % points, Scotty
Cranston, back after a years abb
sence. tipped in 10 points, and
when he finds his eye should be
good for more than 10 points a
game.
Rosenfield has height help COM
ing in Tom Brown, 6-foot-4 fresh
man who missed last nights game
with an injured back. Earl Kill
liam, Towson's new coach. for
merly of the U. of Connecti-
cut. still has Bucky Kimmett.
Bucky was an All-Tournament
second-team member last year,
but although he scored Is points
last night he gave Gu twice that
many by overdribbling and throw
ing the ball away on wild shots.

| "snd the defensive halfbacks have
to come up TO stop him. When
they do he throws over their
heads"
This is the pattern Sita has
used all season. He comes around
end, knees high. running hard
One time he will keep going for
10 or Is yards-the next he'll fire
a Harry Gilmer Jump pass.
Sita helps Eastern's big left
half O'Neill and Fullback Pat Nc
Dougall with the short yardage,
too. Opponents never know which
Of the three will be called upon
to make the yard or two for a
first down and Jimmy Sullivan,
smart T quarterback, alternates
his backs on the short plunges,
too. Sita is the fastest getting to
the line on quick openers and
therefore perhaps the best in
making much needed yard or
two.
Baseball Player, Too.
He has scored around end,
through the middle and passed for
many touchdowns this season.
His 35-yard fourth down pass in
the last quarter of the first
Eastern.Anacostia game put the
ball on the three-yard line and
enabled the Ramblers to tie the
score at 1912. He can play base
ball, too, being centerfielder on
Eastern's championship team.
Equally as important to East
ern's city title plans is Center
Spencer Lampiris, probably the
best linebacker in the city. The
l80-pound Lampiris is especially
adept at diagnosing plays and is
tough to block because he moves
so quickly
