A great big THANK you" is in
order for those school officials who
are responsible for having the
fence placed around the athletic
field of R. M. H. S. and the Rock
vile Elementary School. For
some time the athletic field was
used by many motorists as a park
ing area, or short cut across
town, practically. Consequently
1t was unsafe for the smaller chill
dren to use as a play field, and at
the same time the turf was being
destroyed The new fence now
encloses the athletic field and the
Elementary School, and there
should be no doubt in the mind of
any motorist which is the road and
which is the athletic field. We
know that the Board of Education
ard other interested persons have
given much time and consideration
to this matter of a fence for the
athletic field, not to mention the
expense, so may we urge every
one to abide by the restrictions it
places on the school property and
keep our Rockville schools the
prettiest and the safest. We should
be proud of them-there's nothing
in town any more important.
John Backus is at home after
spending few days in New York
attending the convention of the
Institute of Radio Engineers. The
meetings and exhibitions were
held at the Waldorf Astoria and
the Grand Central Plaza. John
was one of the Division Repre-
sentatives from the MOL who at
tended the convention. We un-
derstand he was so inspired by
the convention that he come home
and worked like. mad on his own
equipment. John is a Ham radio
operator, you know, and one entire
room of his home is devoted to his
radio equipment.
