As Attend
Dinner Given
At Church
Mems Group Fete
Town Officials; NOyes
Is Guest Speaker

If there are as Rockville gentle
men who, noticeably, are two
inches bigger around the waist
this week, tag them as the mem
bers and guests of the Mems
Group of the Presbyterian Church
who turned out for the dinner
given for retired Mayor G. La
Mar Kelly, and Pete Hersperger,
former member of the Town Coun-
Gil.
Also honored by the Mems group
at a gastronomic extravaganza
prepared and served at church by
Werner Dahlin and Henry Nice
warner, was Mayor Daniel R.
Weddle.
As tokens of appreciation for
their public service, the Mems
group presented Mayor Kelly (ret.)
with copy of Rachel L. Carson's
latest work, "Under The Sea
Wind" (suggestion, huh y and Mr..
Hersperger with an initiated tie
clasp.
Guest speaker was Judge Alfred
Noyes who discussed juvenile del
inquency and emphasized the need
in Rockville for commercial rec
reation for teen-agers. Judge
Noyes complimented Mayor Kelly
and the former Council for accom-
lPlishments in planned recreation
areas in the town.
Because Nelson Oliver, publicity
chairman for the group, said no
one would believe it unless it ap-
peared in the public prints, Mes
srs. Dahlin and Nieewarner con-
cocted baked ham, dreamed up
scalloped potatoes and brewed up
pot of buttered peas. They turn
ed out also a few dozen plus hot
rolls--no trick to it-just a flick
of the wrist.
In order to keep the Dragging
down to minimum, it is here
after exposed that Messrs. Dahlin
and Nicewarner had nothing at all
to do with the ice cream puffs,
complete with chocolate syrup, ex-
cept as eaters. All the puffs
were prepared by Mrs. Tom Blow.
OF course, and as may be i'm
agined, since the dinner was in
the special" class, table decora-
tons were by Mesdames Cobb and
Nicewarner.
Piano music was supplied by
Commander Charles Giauque, for
mer director Of the Methodist
Church choir. Singing, and how,
was supplied by those present.

Council OK
On McNayr
Pay Hike
Seven Bills Passed
This Week; Six
Others introduced

The County Council has
cleared the way for the rails
ing of the County Managers
salary above it's present $12,-
900 a year level, but the final
decision will rest with the
voters when the issue is put
to a referendum.
Opening wedge in the move
came Tuesday night as the council
passed a resolution recommending
the county charter be amended to
remove the ceiling on the man
ayers pay. Any such amendment
would have to be decided by a re-
ferendum which would probably be
placed on the ballots in November's
general election.
The resolution was one of seven
measures passed Tuesday by the
council. The other six bills ap-
proved were:
Bill No. 2 - permitting the in
vestment of county funds in federal
or state bonds when such funds
are not earmarked for spending
within 60 days.
Bill No. 3 - requiring prisoners
in the county Jail to work on pu3-
tic property or in the Jail when so
ordered. They will be paid rs
cents a day for such work. If a
prisoners wife or children require
welfare aid while he is in jail, the
money he earns while in custody
would be turned over to the welfare
board.
Bill No. 5 - increasing payments
from the police relief and retire
ment fund to widows of policemen
from $50 to $50 a month, and pay
ments to their children from $40
to 500 month.
Bill No. 9 = raising from 10
cents to Is cents the special fire
tax paid by residents of the Glen
Echo area along Macarthur Bou-
ievard. -..
Bill No. II - authorizing the
council to appoint a director OF
public safety, whose salary would
be fixed by the county manager
subject to the councils approval.
The council tabled Bill No. l,
requiring the Battery Park Citizens
association to post bond covering
the taxes it collects. Also tabled
was Resolution No. 2, setting the
dates of the councils Legislative
session.
New Bills Added
Four new bills introduced Tues
day are:
Bill No. II - establishing a
powerful board of appeals to re-
place the present board of zoninq
appeals and board of standards and
appeals, and to remove from tn:
county council certain hearings or
applications and appeals.
Bill No. Is - creating new park.
ing lot districts in Silver Spring
Bethesda, Montgomery Hills and
Wheaton, and authorizing specia'
taxes up to 40 cents per 500 asses.
sed valuation on commercially.
zoned land and property in those
districts.
Bill No. 10 - recurring all plat
submitted for recording to be first
approved by the department Of
public works.
Bill No. 20 creating a Silver
Spring fire board to approve ex.
penditures of the Silver Spring
volunteer fire department.
Il Public hearings on Bills No. II
18, 10 and 20 will be held at s
PM, May %, in the circuit court
room of the court house.

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

Pages magazine recently
quoted an amusing anecdote. II
seems that certain older woman
had always been given a birthday
party each year by her friends
On these occasions she had re-
ceived all kinds of knickknacks
for her home. When her ninetieth
birthday rolled around a friend
asked her what she wanted for
a gift. She replied: "A kiss. ]
won't have to dust it,
Doesn't that make you feel re-
laxed and doesn't it make you
wonder. as it does me, why we
spend so much energy in accumu-
lating material things which so
often become burdensome. when
life could be so much fun?
There are so many wonderful
things which are free. There is
sunshine, fresh air, moonlight, the
whole outdoors with it's changing
p ora ma, laughter. simple
friendliness, the ability to feel, to
love, to think, to hope.
Then there are also many phys
ical things which cost little and
give so much comfort. There is
the aroma Of hot coffee on a frost
bitten morning, the clink of ice
on a heat withered day, the little
vase OF flowers in room which
needs redecoration.
Most of the things we strive for
have to be busted, and the busting
sometimes takes more energy than
the thing we are busting is worth
know that there are some who
will Immediately think, well
after all. when you receive a kiss
1t imposes an obligation. We are
somewhat indebted"
The same thought occurred tc
me. but let us not make life toe
complicated. A kiss which is a
spontaneous expression of love OF
appreciation is not something tc
be analyzed. Let us accept 1t
with thankfulness. as we do all
of the other blessings of life which
come naturally to us.
Whenever we begin penalizing
a kiss we might as well give up
1t is one of the few things we
have which does not have to be
busted. At least. the only way
one can ever dust off a kiss, is to
repeat it or to remember it.

mouchete fabric suits have been
brought back this season by popu-
lar demand. One we think will
prove quite trendworthy is in
black mouchete trimmed with lace,
the lace mounted over white and
showing as a vestee from a deep
sweetheart neckline. Cuffs pick
up the matching detail. Whether
this designer uses navy silk linen,
cotton or woods. she brings to the
suit picture a steady. clear-headed
approach that most women will
confess they like a great deal.

his pencil-slim designs in suits

trend is to be seen in a jacket with
a sleeve treatment Stimulating the
folds of a stole in front. Doublet
sleeves on an embroidered wool

also looked new. The big fabric

might better be described as silk
