Rockville Man
To Address
History Group

Plans to make the Montgomery
County Historical Society one of
the leading organizations of it's
kind in the country are meeting
with whole-hearted support from
residents of the county, according
to an announcement by it's presi-
dent, Mrs. Jesse w. Nicholson of
Chevy Chase, widely known for her
leadership in civic affairs and in
activities promoting community
welfare.
The next meeting of the society
will be held at Woodward and
Lothrop's Auditorium at Wisconsin
and Western Avenues on March Ia
at eight o'clock. The public is in
vited to attend. The guest speaker
will be William F. Prettyman who
will talk on Rockville. The A
Cappella choir under the direction
of DR.. Oliver S. Beltz will present
musical selections.
The membership campaign is
greatly surprising all expectations,
two hundred and sixteen new men,
bers having been added since Mrs.
Nicholson assumed office in Janu-
airy, strong evidence of the desire
of historically minded county resi-
dents to have a part in the i'm
proved and expanded program of
the society. Pointing up this ad-
ded interest was the attendance of
over two hundred representative
citizens at the Society's annual
dinner on Washington's birthday.

"Basically, there is one reason
for Civil Defense - to train US to
bounce back from an attack by the
enemy. If a bomb hits Rockville
it will probably be by mistake, but
it is a mistake we must consider
possible. And even though it
doesn't hit us, we must be pre-
pared to take care of evacuees.
Rockville Pike is a main artery for
people who would be going from or
returning to Washington. We
hope to be able to care for to
10000 people. We must be ready
to care for them providing medi-
cal aid, food and clothing"
"A pressing problem is connec-
ton with Civil Defense is that of
schools. The schools here have
been checked over and only one
offers hope as far as a shelter
goes in the event of a bombing
attack. We will make recommen-
dations to the authorities to look
to the bomb as a basic problem to
be considered in the building of new
schools and additions to old ones.
Children will be drilled and fam
iliarized with procedure in case of
an attack"
1--WE need people, particularly
women, to volunteer to help with
block-work. We need them to take
the 3o-hour nursing course - to
take first aid courses. 1t would
be ideal if every resident could
take the ten-hour first aid COURSE"
he concluded.

was voted that letter be sent
