Mrs. John Diamond III - Rockville 231:
Or call Rockville 1856 2145

Running of the Virginia Gold
Cup Race on Saturday at the Mar
tin Vogel farm, BrOadview, Just
north of Warrenton, drew hun
dreds of horse fanciers from near
by. areas. Among some of the
local folks seen viewing the famous
steeple chase classic were the
Samuel Bogleys, the Val Wilson's,
the William Barnsleys, the Hal
.Pooles, the Bill CAROLS, DR.. Robert
E. Moran, and the Newbold Noyes.
Cations Adventure, the home
of Mrs. Miner Hostetler in the
Glen was the scene of lovely
"after five" party Saturday when
Mrs. Hostetler was hostess to a
large gathering of friends in COM
pliment to Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph
Scott.
Captain Jack Sault, USN, paid
a surprise visit to the Val Wilson's
on Friday night. Well known in
Rockville, where he and Mrs. Sault
and their children Larry and Dick,
lived for a number of years, he
was in Bethesda on official duty at
the U. S. Naval Hospital. The
Saults recently returned from
Honolulu where Captain Sault
served a tour of duty. At present
they are residing in Philadelphia
and hope to come 70 Rockville in
the Fall for a reunion with old
friends.
Sunday afternoon, Mr.. and Mrs.
George W. De Franceaux were
hosts at a beautiful tea at their
home, San Souci, on River Road.
The affair was given for the bene-
fit of the Merrick Girls Camp COIN
mittee of the Christ Child Society.
Over one thousand guests attended
the party, which was held both
inside and out of lovely San Souci.
It's Rockville's loss, but Silver
Springs gain-the Joseph Piazzas
and their children, Jeanne and
Peter, will be leaving their home
on Forrest Avenue in June. The
Piazzas, who have carved quite a
"niche" in Rockville, have recently
4 purchased new home in Wood
4 moor in Silver Spring. Mrs. Piaz-
j za's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. William
l F. Geiger, have returned to their
home in Lyme, NH, after visit
of several weeks with their daught-
er and her family.
ut Seems Like Old Times" is
what Mrs. Tom Jones and Mrs.
William Wardman of Colorado
Springs, Colo, will be saying TO
each other for the next few days.
On Wednesday, Mrs. Jones met
Mrs. Wardman in Wheeling, w.
Va, where they both grew up to-
gether, and they motored back to
Rockville. Mrs. Wardman will be
the house guest of Mr.. and Mrs
Jonessat their home on River Road
Paul Bennett, who has been in
Jacksonville and Daytona Beach,
EIa., for about three months, re-
turned home on Sunday. Return
ing with him were his nephew,

FARMING FUTURE FORECAST BY
 PLANT GROWER

George McNeese and his fam fly still figure the Matanuska Val ley is "a great growing spot''.
 After five years outside in North Dakota, the McNeese clan came back to Palmer last Novem- Der (they first came back in 1939D; took over the three big Ted Glenn greenhouses three miles south of Palmer and now are producing an advance line of vegetables and flowers to glve any gardener, home or professio- nal, head start on the season.
 Its a lot of work but we like it and we figure this Valley has a great agricultural and horticul- tural future" McNeese said.
 One son, Glen, is a sophmore at the North Dakota state agri- cultural college at Fargo. A daughter, Joan, works at the Pal mer Drug Go. A married daugh- ter, Mrs. Gwendolyn Lowe, is at the family home near Palmer. Another son, George, is in the Navy. He has completed 32 weeks of school at Great Lakes, H., and now is detailed to further train ing at Norfolk, Va.
 we all figure this is a valley of opportunity" McNeese said.

AGRICULTURAL MOBILIZATION HEADS NAMED FOR ALASKA

Agricultural mobilization is un der way.
 With the farms considered as important as the gun, since an army must be fed, plans are be- ing worked out for discharge of army enlisted personnel for farm work.
 First memo on the procedure has been received by Don L. IT, win, director of the Alaska Ex- pertinent Station, Palmer.
 We have not yet received in- formation on the setup and du- ties," Irwin said yesterday. we know the Territorial plan will be different from that set up for the States"
 Western directors will meet in Corvallis, Ore, May 30. Bureau chiefs of the Dept. of Agriculture will attend. Big discussion will be on mobilization of agriculture.
 Territorial Committee
 Named on the territorial com mittees for the mobilization are heads of agricultural organiza- tions working in Alaska. B. Frank Heintzleman, regional forester, Juneau; I. M. C. Anderson, area supervisor, Farmers Home Ad- ministration, Anchorage; Don Laurie, Alaska manager, REA, and Charles w. Wilson, Alaska Conservator, SCS, Palmer; Len o. Hollist, director University of Alaska Agricultural Extension Service; and Irwin.
 We will have an Alaskan con- ference when we know what is expected of the committee" Irwin said. Nov, we are reorienting all our work, geared to the stark terms of production. Anything not contributing to what we eat, wear, produce for essential needs, must be dropped. That means such things as ornamentals will have to go."
 Food Raising Gardens
 The victory gardens of World War II will come back as an inn portant part of the defense pie ture, whatever such hOme-raislng produce plots may be called. Re sponsible for the plans to utilize home plots and lots and larger spaces is the Agricultural Exten- sion Service. Details soon will be worked out. |

NEW PHARMACIST

New pharmacist at the Palmer Drug is Kenneth Hedden, just ar rived from Tacoma, Wash. He is a graduate of the school of phar- macy, University of Washington, Seattle. This is his first time in Alaska.
Valley frontiersman., 1951-04-27
Tentative Discharge Rules

Under army procedures, en- listed personnel may request dis charge through established mili- tary channels by addressing ap- plications to their commanding officers. Army regulations pro- vide, however, that discharge of enlisted personnel on the basis of the importance of their civilian occupation to the national health, safety or interest, is granted only when recommended by an au- thoriZed government gency. When the request reaches the Adjutant General of the Army he refers it to the appropriate civil ian department.
 To date the Adjutant General has referred the files on eases in which the individual is applying for discharge based on his farm ing activities, to the Dept. of Ag- riculture Mobilization committee these cases will be carefully screened before need can be certi- fled.
 For each case data is needed from county offices which will give information to judge the case. Data will include factual information related to the fol- lowing:
 l. Is the farm producing sub- stantial quantities of essential farm products for market.
 2. Is the farming enterprise large enough to furnish full and adequate employment for the in- dividual, except for seasonal or temporary Interruptions. 3. Does the applicants experience and background fit him to do the managerial or skilled farm ing operation contemplated. 4. Have all reasonable efforts been made to find a qualified for the applicant.
 5. Has or will his absence re- suit in significant loss of produc- ton for market.
 In evaluting the facts with re- gard to specific farm operation, consideration will be given to ad- ditional factors such as perfor- nance of custom work for other farms.
