Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1950-06-01

Our printing schedule is such
that it is necessary to write this
column on Monday while the big
news of the week as far as the
Iron Bridge Hunt is concerned is
the Memorial Day horse show on
Tuesday. We will try to bring you
some of the color of the show in
next weeks column. Meanwhile,
we will just have to muddle along.
The past weekend was an ex-
tremely active one at the Iron
Bridge Hunt show grounds on the
j. Letter Aitcheson Farm. In every
corner of the field and out along
the race course little groups of
people were busily engaged in
work parties. Probably the busiest
man of all was Harry w. (Jake)
Scaggs.
Jake has indeed done marvel
Gus job. He built and painted the
entrance signs, helped build the
fences on the race course, painted
and erected the race course flags"
and did dozen other Jobs. His
masterpiece, however, is the ladies'
rest room. Ladies who have used
the somewhat primitive facilities
provided at most outdoor shows
will appreciate Mr.. Scaggs' work.
Speaking of horse shows, there
will be horse show at Whitney
Aitcheson's this Saturday after
noon. This is an informal show for
the pupils of Elmwood Manor
School who have been learning
Workmanship under Whitney's ex-
pert gu d ance. Neighborhood
children are invited to participate.
The judges will be Margaret
Aitcheson Reisinger and the writ
er. This is maiden attempt at
judging for both of us but figure
we can't do any worse than some
of the so-called experts Pve seen
in action. You are all invited to
come out for an afternoon of fun.
There is no admission fee and you
are free to criticize the judges to
your hearts content.
A recent release from the Thor
oughbred Racing Associations
brings to light some information
regarding the etymology of the
word, Preakness, best known today
as the second jewel in the Ameri-
can Triple Crown and which was

In keeping with the undermining

race, which during one period in
its long history, was run at Mon
mouth Park in New Jersey and at
Gravesend in New York takes its
name from the horse, Preakness,
which won the first running of the
Dinner Party Stakes, now known
rs the Dixie Handicap, another
Pimlico fixture. The horse, a son
Of Lexington whose centennial is
being noted by horsemen this year,
was owned by Milton H. Sanford

from small tributary of the Pas
sale River called Preakness Creek.

Bonded Collection
Agency Adds
Fast Service

With an eye to improve service
and satisfy tenants, Bonded Col
lection Agency has come up with
device as modern and up-to-
date as your afternoons news
paper. AS a result, L. L. Brooks,
head of the agency states. "It is
now possible to give my tenants
five minutes service instead OF
the usual "a hours" and "that's
speeding up the service in jet
propelled fashion," he continued.
He was referring to the short
wave two way radio service he is
now installing in his fleet of II
service cars. "The sole idea is to
speed up the service we can rem
der" declares Brooks.
Outside the office at 1853 NV
Bird avenue stands "a foot high
antenna with the transmitter in
the office for sending and re-
reiving calls within a radius of so
miles that takes in from Fort
Lauderdale to Homestead.
Seventeen years ago (1933)
Bonded Collection agency opened
for business in three room house
converted into an office on the
same site that now houses his
two-storey modern equipped Of
flee facilities for rendering up-to-
the-minute service to the hum
dreds of tenants he is servicing.
This agency represents by far
the biggest number of landlords
owning rented properties in this
area and its representatives have
been leading figures in the for
ward steps that have been made in
Slum clearance and better houS-
ing In this area.
In carrying out the business
connected with the agency,
Brooks office employs 1T per-
sons, that includes carpenters,
painters, plasterers, brick masons,
maintenance men, collectors, Of
flee clerks, ETC., with an aggregate
weekly payroll of $4,000. This
amount does not include contracts
let out on big jobs.
With this added device for
speeding up service, Brooks stat
ed that he is anxious for the ten
ants of the houses he represents
to expect and insist on the bene-
fits of this speed up service that
is intended for their convenience.
According to Brooks, tenants OF
Bonded Collection agency are
privileged and welcome to come In
the office at any time and discuss
with him any problem in housing
they may have or do not thorough
ly understand.

Few photographers can resfss
the attraction of a swan as 1t

the surface of pond. On this
occasion, the light was favorable
for revealing the textures and con-
tours of the swan. Although a
rather striking and attractive pic
ture was produced, it did not quite
earn its title.
The angle of view failed to re-
veal characteristic beautiful curves
OF a swan in repose. The exposure
was not made at the precise mo-
ment when those graceful curves
existed. On the other hand, the
swans head was thrust forward

more pleasing lines might have

swan had relaxed and its head

Probably the film recorded the
full details of the feather texture

"a longer printing of those parts
would have accomplished this. An

I got hit so hard on the chin by

Millie cut her front leg. and

her knee craddled in my arm so
as to give Jane more room to work.
And that was my undoing. Millie

Annual plants should be set in
place as soon as the soil can be
prepared for them. They will
thrive in ordinary garden loam,
but benefit by careful soil preps-
ration. Give them ample space in
which to grow and develop. They
may appear rather tiny now, but
if given ordinary care will soon
grow into large plants. Only a
few ANIMALS will thrive in light
shade, most of them are strictly
sun lovers.
1t Is too early to dig tulips or
to remove the foliage of daffodils.
If it is necessary to remove tulips
in order to make way for ANIMALS,
they may be lifted and healed in
in a trench. Take an ample ball
Of soil so as not to disturb the
roots. Avoid injuring the foliage.
If the daffodil foliage interferes
with the ANIMALS it may be tied
to small stakes until growth has
stopped.
Now is the time to prune the
Van Houtte spirea, removing a
third to a fourth of the oldest
canes at the ground. An annual
pruning at this time will keep the
bushes more compact, and they
will produce a better floral display
next spring.
The rose season has been es-
pecially backward this spring.
Many roses lost their earliest
shoots in the severe weather in
March and the second growth by
the April IA freeze. They are
growing nicely now but the usual
Decoration Day bloom may be
missing in many gardens. In spite
OF the mild winter several rose
fans are convinced that this has
been the hardest winter for the
roses in many years.
Many vegetable gardeners were
thrown of their planting schedule
by the prolonged rainy weather
and now are trying to get weeds
and grass under control. How
ever. the delayed paintings will
make rapid growth. and in many
cases will catch up with the
earlier paintings which stood still
during the cool weather.
