Montgomery SideIights
By Elsie White Haines

The Sentinel lost one of its most
loyal workers when Mrs. James
Schroeder and her family left last
week on the first leg of their trek
to the West Coast. The move was
brought about by the transfer of
Mr.. Schroeder, a supervisor at the
Bureau of Standards. They expect
to buy home in the vicinity of
Riverside, Calf. Of course, they
, will continue to read The Sentinel.
1 We expect to have some amusing
stories of the coast to coast trip in
a station wagon to pass on to our
readers. Accompanying Betty and
Jimmie are their four daughters
and cocker spaniel. They were
prevailed upon by their friends
not to attempt to take with them
two pet cats as they first planned
to do. 1t was decided that the
cats will be sent by air when the
family is settled in its new home.
Mrs. Schroeder had been Gath
ersburg correspondent for the SEN
tenil for about ten years-at times
she worked in the Office at Rock
vile where she was equally adept
assisting the editor, helping Lou
Leimbach with the advertising or
filling in at the reception desk for
Mrs. Mary Lou Hegeman. When
the one and only Mrs. Verna Beall
Merry teamed with Mrs. Schroe-
der, there was always fun and
mi1th in the Sentinel Office as we'll
as much hard work. Mrs. Merry
also resigned from the staff during
the summer.

"You really can't do much with
apple sauce but use it as apple
sauce" amusingly, but truthfully
asserted "Deb" Iddings Wilson in
her report on home canning for
Montgomery County General Hos
pital, at a meeting of the Women's
Board in Sandy Spring on Monday.
Mrs. Wilson continued, "Now

use lots of it, but won't some of
you who have not yet canned for
the hospital cut the apples in quar-
tiers and leave them in shape for
apple pies, brown betty and the
many desserts one can make from
stewed apples?" So, girls, save
the trouble of straining apple
sauce and fill up the jars with
quartered fruit. There are plenty
empty jars available at the hos
pital, at no cost but trip there to
get them, that is if you will fill
them and bring them back for Do

at the Brooke Johns farm home
near Olney. By the way, net pro-

Outstanding event of September
was the Jolliffe fire when IS pa
tients suffering shock were
brought in. Neighborhood people,
some of whom worked all night,
and Red Cross workers helped the
staff carry the extra load. Though
the patients were brought in as
trays were being prepared, the re-
sourceful Mrs. Beall soon had ex-
ira cots set up and hot meals serv-
ed to all.
Mrs. Calvin Owings, now
Florida resident, has not forgot
ten the hospital. A generous do
nation from her purchased three
chairs, table and mirror for the
reception hall. Mrs. Dean Ache

loaned some of her paintings to
brighten the hospital walls -
changing them from time to time.
Mrs. Marian Green's nurses
aides are greatly missed now that
school has started-also the girls
who aided Mrs. Beall with the
trays.
Working for the local hospital is
work of love to many county
people.

Use Of Columbian

John Winthrop, Jr., who super.
vised the construction of America S
first successful blast furnace at
Saugus. Massachusetts, in 1913,
found an. unidentified rock frag-
ment near his home. About $50
years later, an English chemist,
Charles Hackett, saw this fragment
in the British museum, analysed it,
and thus discovered the element
columbium. Today, this element is
playing an increasingly important
part in the manufacture of stainless
and heat resistant steels for such
uses as jet aircraft engines.
Columbian is one of the most re-
cent elements to find use in the steel
industry. 1t was used commercially
as an alloy in the 1905, although
experimental work had been done
with it as early as 1920. Last year
632, 900 pounds of columbium metal
was consumed in the manufac ture
of steel.
