that the men in the cars were civil

wear uniforms, though most of them
were of military age. Their homes
and families were in the surround

Girl Scout Troop 548 spent a
most interesting day at the Wash
ington Zoo last Saturday. The girls
have been working on their bird
badges, so their project of the day
was to study the birds. They were
fortunate enough to be in the bird
building at feeding time and Mrs,
George Osterwise, leader, said that
the keepers were most gracious in
giving them information about all
of the birds. Not only did they
give interesting talks about the
birds but they even had them talk
ing and singing for the girls. Even
birds like to "show-o off" for COM
pany. Co-leader of the troop is
Mrs. William Edwards.
All this week in the high school
there will a bird display made by
the Scouts who have been working
on their bird badges. From all
reports it is most interesting dis
play and well worth seeing.

Everyone in the metropolitan
Washington area in the last month
has had some contact with the Com
munity Chest Federation drive.
Many have worked to help put the
drive across. However, we doubt,
k any group anywhere can point
with greater pride to a job well
done than the chairman and work
ers of Damascus district.
AS of November 10th, these folks
have collected $500 with more to
come from an area whose assessed
quota was $500. This is not 1907
but 2009e and more of their goal.
This is the first district to so re-
spond. We feel an extra salute
should be give to Mrs. E. Brooke
Lee, chairman of Damascus dis
trict and her--hard working CO.
workers: Mrs. Bernice Cline, Mrs.

Excitement tinged with more
than little fear ran high in Dam
ascus on Sunday afternoon when
fire ragged fiercely in the barns of
Paul Welsh situated directly be-
hind the Damascus bank in the
heart of the business district. The
fire which was reported a little be-
fore one o'clock spread quickly
probably because of the rs tons
of hay which was stored there.
A 40 by go foot bank barn with II
stanchions, 20 stanchion cowbarn,
and a wagon shed were destroyed.
Firemen were able to save about
SO milk cows but "a purebred Hol-
stein heifers on the ground floor
of the bank barn were trapped.
Also destroyed by the fire were
about 200 barrels of corn and 10
tons of feed as we'll as rs tons of
hay. Despite valiant effort by
volunteer firemen from Damascus,
Mt. Airy, Gaithersburg and Hyatts-
town the farm buildings were COM
@Qletely, destroyed. Loss was esti-
snated at $4,000. For a time it
was feared that, flames might
spread to tie Mingled warehouse
Of the Damascus Electric Company
and quite a number of the appli-
canoes stored there were moved out.
However the fremen's hoses kept
damage down to a scorching of
the shingles in the rear. Every
one was thankful the high winds
of the preceding two days had
abated. The ladies auxiliary of the
Damascus company was on hand
to serve coffee and sandwiches to
the weary firemen who battled the
blaze from shortly before one till
