Admiral Semmes. Richards and
Kirkbridge house.
In the homes are to be found
such architectural gems as stately
curving stairways, lace ironwork,
imported Old World mantels,
hand-hewn sills and pegged
beams. For those whose interest
lies in antiques. the homes con-
tain family heirlooms-priceless
collections Of pressed glass, pewter,
silverware and china. Still in their
original setting are bronze chan
deliers. rare tapestries, old clocks,
gilded mirrors and early Colonial
furniture.
With Each q Story-There is a
story with each home, and host
tesses conducting each party will
give the history-Segrest, built
by War Between the States
blockade runner; the Mcmillan
house. once occupied by the son
Of the commissioner Of the King
of Spain during the Spanish rule !;
Richards house, built in 1850 by a
/ young steamboat captain, sup
posedly with his wife's dowry of
gold.
From the crumbling headstones
OF slate and marble in the ceme-
terry, the history of the city can be
sketched. Names and dates recall
the sovereignty of France, Eng
land and Spain before 1900;
Indian battles and the War of
1912, the Napoleonic wine and
Olive Colony" at Demopolis, and
the rise and fall of the .Confed-
eracy.
Homes will be open from 10 am.

Smile, Darn You, Smile

Laugh and the World Laughs with you, Weep and
you weep alone - So true is this quotation that March
through the 18th has been designated National Smile
Week. and Joe E. Brown that smiling STAR urges
everyone to be Joy Scout" for the week.
In hopes that this will become national habit
everyone is urged to smile = just smile.
Now each of us may think up own peculiar way
of effectng pleasant expression during this smile
marathon but it might be well to enumerae few dos
and dont's the subject One way might be to swallow
feather every half-hour; another to imagine that
rich uncle just died, pretend f we wanted to reach
the hilarious sage that mothern-aw had moved to
the Fiji Islands On the negative sde might avoid
listening to broadcasts and the reading of
papers, except of course The Sentne) with their de-
pressing tales of the cold strikes and Hollywood
scandals Even the recent Oklahoma leopard story, which
Ito anyway enjoyable deviation from the
usual heavy news, had sad ending The poor crter
had to go and die
And the time of year selected for National Smile
Week tr1e -advised what with the tax colec-
tor staring in the face.
There seems to be but way to realize
cheerful aspect right It's relatively simple pro-
cedure but which requires the close cooperation of
Mother Nature. All need to do, with nice cold
weather like we've been having is to stick heads
of doors for spell, fix faces with grim and it'll
freeze on!
Anyway it sounds like good idea.

BIZ Bob Slater

In what was probably the last
week of the local basketball sea-
son, both the Stars and Starlets
turned in couple of very
fine performances. Due to the man
with the heavy eyebrows, it is very
doubtful if the gym will be avail
able for basketball for the remain
der of the season.
Last Wednesday night both
teams travelled to Middletown
where the girls took high scoring
ard rough game from the home
team by go So score. The boys
game was a much slower and
cleaner played game in which the
Stars came out on top 45 A.
Mary Jane Koiner was high for
the Starlets with rs points, while
Kits and Nussbaum scored 10 and
Is respectively. Murray tied for
high scoring honors with 25 for
Middletown.
All the Stars had hand in the
scoring department in the night
cap as Hank Giauque led in that
department with Is points.
In the big game of the week
for the boys, they beat a very good
Colesville quintet as As on Wash
Whites foul shot with seconds
remaining to play.
Maynard Haithcock had his big
gest night of the season as he
played terrific blackboard game
and also scored 20 points on some
beautiful shots. Roy Mann and
Bob Slater were next high for
Rockville with 8 points epiece. Nc
Larney and johnson were Coles
ville's big guns with II and Is
points respectively.
The Starlets defeated a tough

Ground Broken
AT Gaithersurg;
Tea For. Guests

\ Groundbreaking exercises for the
new bGaithersburg High School
were held on Washington's Birth
day in'the gymnasium on Summit
Avenue. Because of rain, only the
actual gfoundbreaking was held on
the site of the new school. DR.. Ed
win w. Broome, Superintendent of
County Schools was the principal
speaker. II
DR.. George L. Osterwise, prin-
cipal of the High School, was intro
duced to the capacity crowd by
Peter Beall, president of the Stud
ent Council. After few words of
welcome, DR.. Osterwise introduced
Dr.. Broome who told the pupils,
faculty members, County Council
members the mayors and councils
of Gaithersburg and Washington
Grove, that the building of school
was merely an instrument without
which an individual could never
achieve an education; that this in
strument will also serve in the
maturing of the individual to fit
tfem to take their places in the
world; and that the building is
dedicated to the concepts of living
in useful society. DR., Broome went
on to explain that we are born into
the world through nothing, and
nothing is gotten except through
learning through the medium of
education. 1t was also pointed out
by the superintendent that usually
a school is built only once in a per-
sons life time and possibly many
present there for the ceremony
would never live to see another
High School built in Gaithersburg,
which should make the occasion one
of solemnity and awe. =
Following the breaking of the
sod on the school site, a perfectly
appointed tea was held in the pri-
mary school for the guests of hon
or.
Mrs. Merle VanMetre, Mrs. Earl
Williams, Mrs. l.. M. Griffith and
Mrs. 0. w. Anderson presided at
the tea table, beautifully decorated
with a center piece of tulips and
snap dragons arranged on lace
cloth. Mrs. Milton Walker and
Miss Helen Walker, whose artistic
hands arranged the service, may
well be congratulated for their
work.
Mrs. Bernard Bent was respon-
sible for the program for the mo-
mentous occasion and Mrs. Clar-
ence Becraft arranged the tea.

Mr.. Frederick P. Lee
President Montgomery County
Council
Rockville, Maryland
My dear Mr.. Lee:
On behalf of the members of the
Fox and Foxhound Protective AS
ISOLATION l wish to compliment the
Council and personally congratu-
late you and them on the Dog Vac
cination Ordinance adopted by the
Montgomery County Council. The
measure is satisfactory to all true
dog lovers.
| would like to suggest that as
good as is the ordinance, it's true
purpose can only be achieved if it
is strictly enforced. We believe
that the greatest publicity should
be given to this ordinance, at the
same time a renewed campaign to
acquaint the public that all dogs
must be licensed.
The pet who is cared for is not
a menace. The root of the prob-
lem lies with those who have no
real attachment for their dogs.
Those people are the ones to whom
enforcement of this ordinance must
be made real or your whole pro-
gram will mi&erably fail. 1t seems
to us that those citizens of our
County must be made to realize
that their carelessness will serious
ly jeopardize all dogs, as well as
the health and Safety of their fell
low citizens.
Sincerely yours,
C. j. Ireland
Maryland State Chairman.

N By Jane Daavson

PARTY VOGUE: 1850 has in
troduced several different ways of
picking up tired parties for the
after dark set. One of the new
vogues is for escorts to switch
wives or dates for the trip to and
from the scene of events. Another
is the one Evelyn Peyton Gordon
called "Come AS You Are"-the
hostess calls you any hour, day or
mite, to invite you and if you are
a good sport you come just as you
were when the hostess reached you
on the 'phone-nite shirt, long
woolens, curriers' or what have you.
But leave it to Bill and Doris Bouic
to come up with something entirely
different. Remember those child
hood parties when you played fol-
low the leader? This is a game
for adults called Follow the Tele-
vision" To play, you select. pro-
gram on teleyision and one snf. the
guests volunteers to give his 0A
ner version of the telscast sIAtk
volunteer is more spectaeuI YOU
watch him-if both Aregboring you
can just go home. Bill gave this
last word in parties a try-out Sat
urday night when he and Dick Culp
stole the show. Nobody watched
television and nobody went home.
SHOULD AULD ACQUAINT-
ANCE BE FORGOT: The oc-'
casion for the teletale was small,
informal, seated dinner party for
Sam Lee and his attractive wife,
Jenny, of Lynchburg, Va. (Sam
and Bill were classmates at the
University some years ago. Amid
candlelight and few RAYS of old
school spirit, Doris and Bill served
a delectable roast beef dinner with
all the trimmings. The teleshow
followed the dinner and with all
the roast beef and teleyision sets
in Rockville, this kind of party is
something that should make Elsa
Maxwell pea-green with envy.

for his portly physique. Mrs.
