By County Woman

Brookeville's historic, 151-year
old post office, will not by closed
as formerly announced by the U. S.
Post Office Department.
Announcement of the closing
some months ago, along with a
number of other small post offices
m the State, brought flood Of
protests from citizens. They were
joined by Governor Theodore R,
McKeldin and by Rep. Dewitt S.
Hyde (R-Md).
The decision to keep the Brooke
vile office open was made just
1879 years to the day of the burning
of the national capitol by invading
British forces-an event which,
two days later, brought the
Brookeville community and the old
post office fame and a place in
American history books.
On August &c, President James
Madison and Attorney General
Rush, fleeing the sacked city, came
to Brookeville and appealed for
food and shelter at the home and
post office operated by Caleb Bent
icy.
The Bentleys, already beseiged
with long line of refugees from
the Capital, gave the presiden.
shelter in the parlor while the
soldiers who guarded him received
dressing down from Mrs. Bent
ley who objected, vociferously, to
the trampling of her flower beds.
A tour of Brookeville, planned
FOR Sunday, August 80. and before
the announcement by the Post
Office Department, will have
double meaning with the knowl-
edge that the old post office is to
remain tucked away in the corner
of the community's general store.
Mrs. j. P. Kerr, wife of the
Boyds Presbyterian minister, will
exhibit an original painting of the
flight of President James Madison
from Washington and his arrival
at the old Brookeville post office
during the tour.

Town Can
Hook To
WSSC Main
Water Committee to
Meet With Mayor and
Council Tonight

Rockville officials have been in
formed in discussions with the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission that the town can tie
into the Commissions 24-inch
main on Viers Mill Road in order
TO alleviate water shortages at
the county seat.
The water main is slightly over
a mile from the city limits Of
Rockville. 1t is understood the dis
cussions, repeatedly held last week,
developed the fact that tying into
the Commissions main would in
volve little more than extension of
the line and would not require
additional pumping equipment to
take water to the highest point
in the city.
1t is further understood that dis
cussions with the commission were
cooperative in attitude and that
the commission pointed out that it
is "in business to sell water"
While no announcement has been
made on results Of the talks, it
is presumed that the cost of tying
into the Commissions main would
ne minute compared to the cost
Of securing water from the Poto-
mac or Seneca rivers.
In the meantime, the ive-man
water committee of the Citizens
Action Committee will meet to-
night Thursday with the Mayor
and Council to continue discussions
on the water shortage.
Gerhard j. Drechsler, chairman
of the Citizens Water Committee,
said the meeting date was set by
Mayor Daniel r. Weddle and dis.
cussions will probably revolve
around questions which were posed
TO the Mayor and Council some
weeks ago. 1t is expected that re-
suits of the talks with the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Conn
mission also will be disclosed a.
the meeting.
In the meantime, Staniey r..
Smigel, president Of the Citizens
Action Committee, group formed
last month to look into reasons
for the towns water shortage, has
stated that the water crisis has
demonstrated the need for a con-
tinuing organization Of citizens
devoted exclusively to problems Of
community development" He said
the committees sole interest "is
to promote the growth of a COM
munity with an efficient, forward
looking government, headed by
competent. far-sighted officials"
In connection with remarks al
!egedly made by Mayor Daniel r.
Weddle at meeting Of the Rock
vile Board Of Trade, when mem
3ors of the Citizens Committee are
said to have been labeled "radic-
als," Mr.. Smigel said his commit
tee is contracting all merchants 80
