What's the use of having clever
assistants if one never uses them :?
Last week for this space we pur-
Joined Betty Schroeder's story of
Beallmont, the old Dawson home
on Montgomery Ave. This week
we give you a story Verna Beall
Merry dropped on the editors
desk with the query "How could
we use this? Perfect material
for 'Sidelights' we replied. Here's
the Story as she wrote it:
So far, although she's lost two
of her teeth already, 5-year-oid
Marilyn Beall has had absolutely
no dealings with the fairy who
leaves money for youngsters who
go to sleep with their detached
Molars meath their. pollows. The
reason that the said fairy has not
paid off is that Marilyn never again
saw either of the departed teeth
once they left her gums. When
just a toddler, and an unusually
agile one, she lost her balance
while standing in a child's. rocker
and fell, striking an open dresser
drawer The outcome of this was
that Lynn was minus one of her
good sound front teeth, and a
thorough search of the room re-
vealed no tooth. 1t was no less of
a mystery, when last week at
X in d erg arten, Marilyn was
knocked down by dog and some
how, in the fray, lost another
tooth-this one just about ready
to come out of itself. The in
dignity of the accident would have
seemed unimportant had Lynn
been able to find the lost tooth
and take it home to "show" but a
search by her, and the teacher
was in vain--it was nowhere to be
found!
Marilyn's big sister, Janice, all
of IL, and who may not appreciate
the recording of the following
account, also had a funny ex-
perience in the loss of her very
first tooth. Her tooth, already
loose, came out while eating re-
freshments at Halloween Party
at school. She retrieved the tooth,
tucked it in a napkin with some
candy corn and toted it home to
show the family. However a mix
up occurred, somewhere along the
way, because when she opened the
napkin to show the treasure to
mother, it was gone. 81 guess
somebody else got my napkin with
the tooth in it," she said, dejec-
teddy.
1t takes a good deal to discon.

munity Reporter, but his jaw fell
with surprise when a couple of
Rockville. boys led a snow-white
dog as large as a heifer, to the
stage when he called for fat ladies
while emceeing the cooking school
last week at the Milo. Ernie looked
at Lou Leimbach, who was Just
as surprised as he was. Surprised
also were the mothers of the boys
Joe Gardner and Bobby Osterwise
Bringing up the huge Pyrenees
was apparently Joe's idea. whats
his name?" asked Ernie. "She's
a female-her name is Cindy and
weighs ia pounds-she's fat" ex-
planned Joe amid gales of laugh
ter from the audience.
The boys were presented with
passes from the Milo and persuaded
to surrender the stage to several
two hundred pound ladies. Amy

this commented the pride Of the
Silver Spring radio station.
The cooking school was lots Of
fun and there were some gorgeous
prizes. We learned TO cook two COM
plete oven dinners-we dote on
oven dinners--just fill the oven,
set the timer and nap until hubby
gets home. Then serve the food,
right from the oven with no ex-
ira dishes.
