County Observes
175th Birthday
With Ceremony
Marker Unveiled at
Tuvern Site, McKeIdin
Speaks at Rockville

A marker commemorating the
site of Hungerford Tavern in
Rockville, where George Washing
ton once dined, was unveiled yes
terday, during observance of Mont
gomery County's 175th birthday
The tavern site, now occupied
by church parsonage, was the
gathering place for a group of
Marylanders lit years ago who
protested British oppression.
Gov. McKeldin, principal speaker
during ceremonies in the Circuit
Courtroom prior to the unveiling,
referred to the historic meeting as
one of the sparks which touched
off the torch of freedom in the
new world.
The ceremonies were sponsored
by the Montgomery County His
torical Society. The marker was
unveiled by Miss Janet Griffith
Wilcox, eighth generation descen-
dant of Henry Griffith. who mod
Grated the protest meeting at the
tavern.
Gov. McKeldin urged Mont
gomery County citizens ''to think
and act as Marylanders. not as
mere suburbanites of Washing
ton wards of that overgrown,
sprawling and too paternalistic
government in whose very shadow
you live.
Remember, you were here
first" he added. Your county Isl
ITS years old. The Capital has
been in Washington only 1911
years"
Praises Society's Efforts.
Gov. McKeldin praised the work
of the historical society in at
tempting to preserve the memory
of important historical develop
ments in the Free State. He said
the action of the early Mary |
landers in calling for cessation of |
trade with an aggressor nation is
an example present-day America
should follow.
Some of the history of Mont
gomery County was recited by
Circuit Judge Stedman PRESCOTT
for an estimated $50 spectators in
the courtroom.
Judge Prescott said Hunger
ford'S Tavern was built between
1855 and It'll on the road beween
Georgetown, then part of Fred
erick County, and Fredericktown.
The tavern like many others in
the State, was located on a road
used principally by tobacco farm
ers in going to markets.
Montgomery County was formed
in 1776 when Frederick County
was divided into Frederick, Mont
gomery anG Washington Counties.
In 1884, the site of Rockville was
purchased and subdivided by a
man named Williams, who called
the town Williamsburg. This
name was changed by an act of
the State Legislature in 1903, to
Rockville, he said.
Scene of Court Session.
Hungerford Tavern was the
scene of the first Circuit Court
session in Montgomery County in
1777, according to Judge Prescott.
In these days, he declared, tobacco
was legal tender and taxes were
paid in tobacco Eventually the
county courthouse was built on
its present site but has since been
replaced three times. Il
Mrs Jesse w. Nicholson pre-
sided during the hour-long cere-
monies. Appearing on the pro-
gram were Col. Lathrop Smith,

Modern
Marriage
By DR.. Paul Popenoe

1t isn't that she wants to boss
her husband, Mrs. F. says; she
just wants to be efficient. She
reminded me of the old story
about two women in conversation:
"Just what is an efficiency ex-
pert?" one asks.
"As nearly as can get it," the
other replies. "he's a man who
does what. if we women did it,
would be called nagging."
Mrs. F. has become expert in
her efficiency! A test of her
personality showed that she rated
81 per cent in aggressiveness; that
is, among 100 women there would
be three more aggressive than
she is and So less so. If you
have that much aggressiveness
(and many good wives haveD.
you'll have to handle it skillfully
or you'll wreck your marriage.
A scientific test of aggressiveness
would have to be given by an
expert, but any one can get a
rough estimate Of himself by q
simple test like the following:
/. When some one crowds ahead
of you at the counter of the
cafeteria or at the theater ticket
Office, you point out the end of
the line and suggest a return to
it. YES NO
2. If people speak Of you as a
"go-getter." you are pleased.
YES NO
8. If a traffic cop stops you,
you argue the law with him and
show him that you know your
rights. YES NO
4. If you found that your child
had committed an offense. you
would inflict punishment. even
though the offense had. occurred
week before. YES NO
5. If served eggs not strictly
fresh. YOU order the waiter to take
them back to the kitchen and
bring you something else N place
of them. YES NO
6. You would rather have a
business Of your own, in which
you could be your own boss, than
take orders from some one else
at higher wages. YES NO
7. You make it a point to be
the first one to get on a bus when
1t stops to pick up several per-
sons. YES NO
8. You do not want to serve on
committee unless you can be
chairman. even if the business for
which it is appointed is quite
different from anything else you
have previously tackled. YES NO
9. If your side is defeated in an
election. you do not congratulate
the winner, but continue to insist
that you were right. YES NO
10. You often try to get the
salesperson to give you a lower
price, on the ground that the
article is shopworn or soiled. YES
NO
If you answer nearly all of
these statements affirmatively,
look out! Aggressiveness is a
leadership quality when properly
controlled, but many husbands and
wives are unable to control 1t in
their own marriages.
