stage at Richard Montgomery
High School and poured forth
praise of the modest, kindly man
who soon will be able to rest from
the worrisome tribulations of find
ing room for more kids than any
man could have imagined would
have poured into Montgomery
County back in 1917 when doc"
first took over the reins.
When it was all over, DR.. Broome
furtively wiped away a few tears
and then told reporters:
"Tm going to take little rest
for while.".
Circuit Court Judge Stedman
Prescott pointed out that persons
from all walks of life had come
to pay tribute to DR.. Broome.
Judge Prescott recalled that
some years ago he had seen a
letter from the Washington schools
asking DR.. Broome for more in
formation on one of his innova-
tons. The Judge urged the educa-
tor to tell the people of the county
that District school officials were
seeking his advice since many
thought Washington schools were
better than the county schools at
that time.
"Oh, l couldn't do that" DR..
Broome replied. at wouldn't be

DR.. N. L. Engelhardt, past pre-
sident of the American Associa-
ton of School Administrators and
who had been associated closely
with DR.. Broome in selecting many
of the county's school sites and
close friend for many years, de-
clared that he had been a "stu-
dent" of Dr. Broome for years and
chad learned much from him."
'E'm not sure you people in
Montgomery County have under
stood the real stature of Ed
Broome in the international and
national picture" DR.. Engelhardt
said.
"There are two classes of school
superintendent and we are here
today to honor the entire first
class-Dr. Broome, top ranking
philosopher of education and one
of the outstanding school super
intendents in the world" DR.. En-
gelhardt continued.
He praised DR.. Broome for his
early recognition of the "individ-

of gracious living. Her influence
has encouraged them to achieve
life's highest standard, and to be of
useful service in home and COM
munity. Miss Turner is leaving be-
hind leadership, ideals, and new
enthusiasm for our strength in the
future and an indelible impress

Mrs. James Williams, of the
Four Corners Club, sang the
"Homemakers' Creed, accompan-
led by Mrs. Marshall Mayes, of
Rockville, who wrote the arrange
ment.
The Rev. Arthur Ewell, Pastor
of the Epworth Methodist Church
of Gaithersburg, gave the invoca-

1t was very appropriate that a
life long friend of Miss Turner's
could give the speech for the after
noon. Miss Grace Frysinger, re-
tired Senior Home Economist of
the Extension Service, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, gave a
wonderful Tribute to Women"

a golden rose.
The highlight of the afternoon
was presentation of a check for
one thousand dollars presented by
Mrs. Ralph Beall, president of the

name of all the Homemakers of

Miss Turner, struck speechless
by this unexpected gift was quick

This was based on her own past
experiences and provoked much
laughter.
The center took on home like
appearance with all the beautiful

the past quarter century.
Mrs. Ralph Beall presided at
the meeting. Guests of the after

ACCEPTS HONORS
FROM PORCH PALS

Kill Devil Hills.-His slight
est wish is law.
At least that's what some of
Lindsay Warrens' frOlicksome
pals want the U. S. comptroller
general to believe when he comes
back to his old home territory.
Mr.. Warren, who is staying at
the CrOatan hotel, follows the
local custom of getting to the
pOstoffice before the mail is put
up and waiting for it. That's Wis
iting time and if you sit on the
porch of Twiford's store, where
the postoffice is located, you'll
see most everybody.
The comptroller general men,
toned that TwifOrd's porch was
the coolest place he'd found and
he thought he'd reserve a chair
there.
Next morning when he put in
an appearance he was startled
to see Reserved for Mr.. War
rem" lettered in firewagOn red on
one of the white porch chairs.
He doesn't know who responsible,
but whoever is did him a favor,
he thinks, instead of embarrass-
ing him.
Nobody admits the prank, but
it might be remembered that no
body in North Carolina enjoys a
joke on a friend more than Carl
Goerch of Raleigh, co-editor and
owner of The State magazine.
Mr.. GOerch, with his wife, is a
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Penn
Marshall of Raleigh. He and Mr..
Marshall were there when MIR.
Warren made his Offhand remark
about reserving a seat. Capt. w.
H. Lewark, who is usually right
there when the crowd gathers,
wears a knowing smile, but he
isn't saying a thing.

This is where you probably
would stay if you came dowr

ing at a nice motel, on the ocean
where a double room and batl
costs $3.50 a day and a two-roon

rants around home.

I'll be glad to mail you a list
of hotels, motels and groups oil

stamped, self-addressed envelope
to me at the Press.
I'M sure you will enjoy these
islands and the trip to and from
them. One of the shortest ways
to go (490 miles from Pittsburgh
to Mays Head) is
Turnpike to Breezewood, the
detour of Route 1875 south to
Warfordsburg, 522 to Winchester,
II to Fredericksburg, 2 to a
junction with 80, the latter to
1913, which will take you past
colonial Williamsburg and New

From Newport News take II
across the great James River
bridge, which will give you a
fine view of ships in Norfolk
harbor. Follow II to IS and the
latter to ITO. Go south on 10

peanuts to Route "a and finally
158, which will bring you to this
island.
If you can't get away until
fall, you're all right. Remember
that Bermuda-like climate.

lection of R. B. Cobb of Kitty
Hawk as principal of the Ores
well high school for the ensuing
year.
This is an 18-teacher school. Mr.

If you're ever going to take a

Pete, don't overlook this area.

And it's less than 500 highway
miles from Pittsburgh.
This slightly magic area is
composed of the "Outer Banks

long thin islands that jut out
into the Atlantic ocean in an ell
bow shape. The point of the ell
bow is only IL miles from the
Gulf Stream, which helps to ac-
count for the orange and palm
trees that grow in yards out
there, for the pelicans that oc-
casionally are seen, for the mar
lin and sailfish that are hooked
off shore.
Fishing is excellent, partly be-
cause of the many skeletons of
ships that lie on the off shore
reefs. Another reason is that the
Gulf Stream and Labrador cur
rent meet nearby, bringing both
northern and southern fish into
the area. Tarpon and huge chan
mel bass are caught by surfcast-
ers, and bluefish, mackerel ana
founder are taken from piers.
The Banks" have wide sand
beaches, enough, you would
think, to tan the entire popula-

them in green combers.
