ARE YOU AGING?

Andy Hudson was just one of
the neighborhood boys and care
free bookkeeper's assistant until he
was married. After honeymoon
to Niagara Falls he and his bride
moved in with his wife's folks and
in the following year there was an
Andy, Jr. This was in 1900.
The house was three story
rambling place with big yard and
an adjoining garden and orchard.
Andy and his small family lived
in one wing of the home and the
older folks in the central part.
The baby's crying, which was sell
dom, did not disturb the grand
parents and Andy's job with the
local wholesale grocery firm suf-
feed to keep the little family hap
Ply.
Naturally, the grandparents dot
ed on their grandson and started
talking about his sister who surely
would be next. There was room
for many more in the old mansion
with its mansard roof and the back
wing that faced the orchard.
Remember this was in 1900.
There were many families in that
period in which the old and the
young worked out their plans hap
PLY or, at least, arrived at some
form of mutual satisfaction. There
was room for one, two and even
three generations in those old
homes along the elm shaded
streets.
Andy, Jr., however grew up to
see World War l begin and after
service in that conflict he settled
down in a good sales job in a big
industrial center. Apartment
houses were springing up over
night and after he later married
one of the secretaries of the plant,
the two set up housekeeping in a
two room apartment with kitchen
cite and bath. This was big
enough for them and they were
cozy and happy in their new life
together.
But Andy's father died and his

Montgomery SideIights
By Elsie White Haines

Morgan L. Tenny as clerk to the
County Council - and one of the
most efficient to hold that position
with the county heads, has been
appointed as attorney in the Dis
titled Spirits Institute in Washing
ton. Mr.. McElroy was recalled to
Army service and was stationed at
the Pentagon.
Miss Mamie Vinson has received
an interesting letter from Anne
Bouic, who with her sister Mary
Evans, Mary's daughter Mandy
and Betty O'Connor is on a motor
trip.
Anne writes: "Our trip to Mex
leo has been wonderful. We drove
over the Skyline Drive in Virginia,
and through the Smokes, then Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, where
we spent some time in the French
Quarter at New Orleans, and
Texas until we got to the border at
Brownsville.
After crossing the border into
Mexico, l was intrigued with the
typical countryside, the Mexican
peasants and the villages with mud
huts of one room. Since we have
arrived at Mexico City we have
seen a great deal of some friends
of Betty O'Connor's and they have
shown US parts of the city which
tourists don't usually get to see.
This weekend we are going to
lake which is about two hours
from here and next week we want
to make side trips to surrounding
villages"
The girls are really going to
have some new topics for CONVEX
sation when they return early next
week.
what did we make at the Hos
pital SUPPER" We queried Edith
Thomas, the hard working treas
urer of the Women's Board of
Montgomery County General.
"Well, it is going to be terrific"
she answered, "but l am not going
to give out any figures until next
week when we will know just how
much each booth made"
Since last years net proceeds,
including the pamphlet, was S6,O86,
| it really does sound terrific. +"
About 1900 suppers were served.
A pat on the back for Mrs. Hugh
K. Thompson and those who assist

area. Besides. donations of food,
cake and articles for the country
store and fancy table, Rockville

and Twin Brook $3.50 in cash.

Here are some of the names by
which various sections of Rockville
have been known in the past, to add
to Froggy Hollow, Monkey Run,
etc. According to Miss Mona
Thompson who read all the back
numbers of the Sentinel before she
wrote her history of Rockville, here
are a few more: Hell's Hill, now
Forest Ave-; Frog Town, between
Court House Square and the BIO.
K. R.; Quality Hill, above Court
House to western limits; Whip
poorwill, north of the town and
west side of Frederick Road !;
Haiti and Bloodfeld, Negro settle
ments Blue Jay Hollow, near sewer
disposal plant; Swamp Poodle,
back of Humphrey home and part
of Welsh Field, and Higginsville,
so called because of the large num-
Der of Higgins who lived there.
Janeta, in the eastern part of
Rockville beyond the railroad, was

NaddoX, and was pronounced Jane
Eatuh with long "e".
Councilman Harold Hammond is
not likely to get much sympathy
for what he calls his "extra cur
ricula duty" with the U. S. Cham
Der of Commerce. He will spend a
part of his vacation travelling
around the country trying to round
up acts for the national convention
the U. S. Chamber will hold in
Washington this year. Most anyone
could take few days in New York
looking over the current shows. We
have not even seen "South Pacific. F."
Letters from readers, MANY of
whom we have never seen, repay in
no small part the time we spend on
this column. This week Mrs. Nah
Ion Kirk, 1873 Katherine Court, San
Antonio 8, Texas, renews a sub
scription and writes: 81 used to sec

The days when letters like this
come across our desk are red letter
days-it seems so much easier to
write complaints than compliments
Most of the compliments come from
older people.

Natural Gas Supp|ier
Rate Boost Hearing
To Resume Monday
By WiIIiom A. MilIen

The case Of the Atlantic Sea-
board Corp. which is asking an
increase In It's rates charged for
supplying natural gas to the
Washington Gas Light Co., is
scheduled to be resumed Monday
by the Federal Power Commits
sion.
Gas company officials have
warned that an increase in the
wholesale distributors rates would
make it necessary to ask for an
other rate increase for consumers.
E. J. Boothby, WGLC president,
has said additional costs may
reach more than 81 million an
nually. The company now has
before the Supreme Court a plea
for rate increase which has been
ruled illegal by the lower courts.
Meanwhile. another case, based
on an Arlington County Board
complaint that the company is
charging too much. is still being
investigated. officials said. This
case probably will mot be pushed
too much until the Atlantic Sea-
board case is little more settled, {"
Power Commission officials said.
Sought Year Ago.
The Atlantic Seaboard Corp.
and Virginia Gas Transmission
Corp. jointly filed proposed
changes in their natural gas rates
about q year ago. An increase
Of more than $4,000 annually
to the gas company and certain
changes in service conditions were
suggested to the commission.
Since then, periodic hearings have
been held.
The Arlington County Board
asked the commission, In 1949, to
determine whether the rates Of the
Washington Gas Light Co. are
unjust, unreasonable and dis
criminatory." It complained the
company is charging too much for

The gas Is distributed to the

chased from Atlantic and trans
ferred from the pipe line at
