Unfortunatel the Gaithersburg
High School Band concert had to
be called off last Sunday, and it is
not surprising that the reason was
RAIN. So-weather permitting,
and certainly the rain will have
stopped b ythen-the concert will
be held at Z pm. this Sunday, May
"a, on the front lawn of the high
school. The public is cordially in
vited. Admission-free.
By the way did you know that
the band placed fifth in the Lions
Club band festival held in Wash
ington last week? Congratulations
to the members of the band and to
it's leader, Miss Freda Price.
Another musical treat is sched-
uled this weekend and that is the
annual concert of the Gaithersburg
High School Glee Club. This con-
cert will be held on Friday even
ing at pm. on the front lawn of
the high school. In case of rain
the performance will take place
in the school cafeteria. This con-
cert, too, is free, and the public
is invited. The glee club is under
the direction of Mr.. William Earl.
We are sorry if we caused Mrs.
Clarence Becraft any embarras-
sment by naming her chairman of
the Clothing Drive for Korea in
this area. Mrs. Becraft wants
everyone to know that she is just
one of the volunteers. When Mrs.
Becraft received a card asking for
volunteers for Gaithersburg, she
felt it would be a good idea to
publicize the news in The Sentinel.
Since this was the first your cor
respondent had heard of the drive
in Gaithersburg, she assumed Mrs.
Becraft was chairman. However,
all's we'll, for Mrs. Becraft re-
ceived several calls from inter-
ested people. This Sunday from l
to 8 pm. please have your old
clothing and blankets, in boxes or
bundles on your front porch and a
volunteer will pick them up. This
will be the only day that things
will be collected in Gaithersburg,
so be sure to have them ready. If
you are going to be away and
would like things picked up be-
fore Sunday, you may call Mrs.
Becraft at 728-J or, your CORE
spondent at 600, or any volunteer
in your neighborhood and your
clothing will be cared for. If all
those who volunteered their SER
vices, as we'll as those who have
cars and would like to help will
meet at the fire house on Sunday
at l PM, sections of the town will
be assigned to the volunteers fol
collection. If you are free to help
on Sunday, please come. People
are need with cars as we'll as those
who have no transportation. If the
town is to be canvassed in two
hours many cars will be needed
Among those who volunteered are
the following; Mrs. Thomas Kel-
ley, 55SW; Mrs. George Harding
SO: Julia Hess, 5S6-W-12; Mrs

burg-Washington Grove fire de-
partment, gave permission to meet

The Kirkmans still haven't heard
any news of their lost parakeet.
If you have found a beautiful
green parakeet that answers to the
