plaudits of a native son or two,
but, alas gals, a native daughter
makes the news-Mrs. Robert E.
Moran, wife of Dr. Moran of Po-
tomac. The former Joycelyn Beard
of Rockville, Mrs. Moran has re-
Gently been selected by the editors
of Diplomat, periodical which re-
ports on local society, as one of
Washington's loveliest ladies'. A
current issue of Golfers carries
striking photograph of Mrs. Mo-
ran, along with the other ten la
dies selected as the CAPITALS most
glamorous ladies by the society

We just heard this week of the
arrival in New York on April 20
of young Thomas Battle Davis, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Davis, Jr.
The Davises have another son,
Richard Franklin. Mr.. Davis, who
is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Davis, is associated with David
Zelsnick and has a fascinating
job, flying hither and yon to
Rome, Paris, London and other
parts ofthe world capitals.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Carter of
Winding Lane Farm were among
the many who attended the recent
convention of the American Grern-
sey Cattle Club held in Atlantic
City Following the meeting, which
incidentally they say was wonder
full, with every moment taken with
meetings and parties, the Carriers
went on to Trenton to the famed
Forsgate Farm for the big east
ern Guernsey sale. An interesting
sidelight ofthe sale was the fact
that on the average, each head of
cattle sold for over $4,000.
One of the incest things we
heard this week was that Rock
vile has won the hearts of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert H. Thomson who
are planning to make it their
home on Anderson Avenue. After
some extensive remodelling, they
hope to move in a month or so
with their young daughter, Bob
bic. Mrs. Thomson, who needs no
Introduction to Rockville, or the
County either we may add, is edi-
tor of the Sentinel. Hi neighbors,
a hearty welcome!
Everybody will be delighted with
the good news that Nancy Louise
Ransom, better known to her many
Friends in Rockville as Lou, is re-
operating nicely from recent
operation at the South Side Com
munity Hospital in Farmville, Va.
Miss Ransom, who is planning a
June wedding will leave her teach
ing position at the Rockville Ele-
fnentary School. She will be
greatly missed from the local
scene where she has so many
Friends, both among the young
sters and the oldsters, but their
heartiest good wishes for every
happiness go along with her to
her new home.
We have acclaimed much local
TALENT recently on TV programs
and now we can acclaim same on
radio-none other than our neigh
Dor, John Backus, who is an avid
amateur radio operator. What
thrill recently while listening to a
broadcast ofthe Washington Sen
ator's baseball game to hear
Johns voice, giving the amateur
call letters and describing the To-
cation of our very own Rockville
IN the State of Maryland. One
room ofthe Backuses home on Up
ton Street is devoted to Johns
radio equipment. Needless to say,
be has many young visitors-as-
piring to become amateur radio
operators.
