3, under the direction of Mrs. Will
Stackhouse, will put on a puppet
show at the monthly Pack meet
ing to be held the last Friday in
November at the Lone Oak School.
Mrs. Lester T. Burn is assisting
Mrs. Stackhouse with the show
which will feature a circus and
animals. Fond memories of Cub
Scout days! We often wonder who
joined the Cubs anyway, the boys
or the mothers, bless them.)
Rockville has another winner
and this time it is Mrs. G. V. Hart
ley of the Rockville Community
Garden Club, who took second
prize for her miniature arrange
ment at the Thanksgiving Flower
Festival sponsored by the National
Capital Garden Club League in CO.
operation with Woodward & 10th
rop, and which was held last week.
Imagine having the patience, to
say nothing of the ingenuity, to
arrange an acorn pod, tiny as they
are, with seed pods from phlox!
The acrorn pod served as a vase
for the little seed pods, which were
dipped white and sprinkled with
glittering tinsel. Mrs. Hartley's
clever arrangement won praise
and acclaim from many who at
tended the show. Congratulations!
Tuesday, November 6, was a
very special day for the Charles
Beard families, for it was the
birthday of Mrs. Charles A. Beard,
ST., of Forest Avenue. The Junior
Boards were hosts to the Senior
Boards at family dinner party at
the Cape Cod Inn in Bethesda.
After ten weeks of boot training
at Paris Island with Uncle Sans
Leathernecks, Albert Burnett and
Barry Linthicum arrived home
Monday evening. Albert is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Burnett
and Barry is the SON of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gassaway Linthicum. Need
less to say, both boys are happy
to be home again and are looking
forward rdltheir ten days of leave.
Albert will return to Paris Island,
while Barry will report to Camp
Lejeune in North Carolina. Over
the weekend. Sonny Linthicum,
son of DR.. and Mrs. William Lin
thicum, will be home from Haver-
ford College and Mr.. John l.. Bru-
nett, Sd, another son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Burnett, will be home from
Philadelphia. The foursome will
get together for the first time in a

Invitations were issued this week
for the Nineteenth Montgomery
Cotillion to be held on Friday eve
ming, the seventh of December, at
Congressional Country Club in Po-
tomac. The Cotillion, which has
been held semi-annually since 1889,
Is one of the outstanding events on
the busy social calendar.
More and more we hear about
how much the Sentinel is read by
those away from "home." One Ma
rine on cruise for eight months in
the Mediterranean, has read his
first issue from cover to cover and
is looking forward to receiving it
each week. Pfc. Bill Sherman,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. William p.
Sherman, has written to his aunt,
Miss Virginia Griffith of Laytons-
vile (who has sent him a subscrip-
tom that the Sentinel is another
touch from home" and keeps him
well informed about doings in busy
Montgomery County. Incidentally,
it's a good idea folks to send the
Sentinel to the boys in the armed
services, for it means a great deal
to read about your friends when
you are long way from home.
