Joint Committee Makes Brief Report
On Success Of Diamond Jubilee Fete


In behalf of the Executive Board of the Society and
it's United Lodges of Western Pennsylvania Committee,
take pardonable pride and pleasure in officially advising
the Supreme Board that the Goth Anniversary Celebration
of the Croatan Fraterna Union held Sunday July 2 1854
at West View Park Pittsburgh unconditional
The record breaking thousands of members and friends
who attended this historic celebration in honor of the So
cetys Diamond Jubilee Year will readily attest to the wis
dom shown by the Supreme Board when it decreed Sep
ember of 1858 that the commemorative exercises be
sponsored July of 1854 by the Executive Board and the
United Lodges Committee.
We trust that all concerned eated over
of the celebration and that it's outcome will be
recognized tribute to the cooperation manifested by the
Executive Board and the United Lodges Committee in carry
ing out your Supreme Board decision of September 1853

By the Fall of 1858 to keep
pace with the opening of new
homes, a 12-room addition was
made to the schoolhouse, for the
enrolment was approximately
$50.
TWin-Brook community was
chosen in 1852 throughout the
area as part of a Montgomery
County experiment in coopera-
ton between County organiZa-
tons interested in working with
citizens and a neighborhood.
Various County organizations
Joined together with the Depart
ment of Sociology of Maryland
University-the only goal was to
attempt planning and working
together on whatever the entire
neighborhood felt it wanted to do
to make life better. TWin-Brook
was surveyor for interests and
problems = a majority wanted
some sort of a guide to County
and city resources. So the first
TWin-Brook Community Guide
was put out. TWin-Brook' share
was borne by the Citizens asso-
citation, the HomemakerS club,
and the PTA. This handbook is in
valuable to residents. 1t contains
names, addresses, telephone num-
berS, a map of the community, as
well as advertised services they
and the merchants wish to list.
At the present time revised
Directory is being printed. For
this the Citizens association has
assumed responsibility. The re-
cent survey of some 1000 homes
has resulted in some statistics
which are believed to be of much
community value - such value
that plans are being made to put
them into booklet form, when
they can be made more accurate.
Directory Statistics
Conclusion that follows are
based on hurried tabulations of
sometimes incomplete informa-
ton from the curvey cards. OF
some ego families reporting, 1919
had one child in the family; 263,
two children; 146, three children;
80, four children. Ten families
listed five children in the family,
and five families had six or more.
The families with no children
were not counted.
The most popular" ages were
from l to II years, with the ma
jority ranging from one to five
years. A sharp decline was noted
in the number of children aged
II to 16, and those 16 years and
over. The report did not ask for
older children not attending
school.
In the question of residency in
the community, more families
had lived in the community for
one year. The next highest num-

Der had been residents for two
years, with a very few having
Twin-Brook residency for more
than five years.
Out of total of us families
reporting on their Maryland resi-
dency, 800 had lived in the state
one to three years. Two hundred
and twenty stated they had been
in the state four to nine years;
% in the 10 to 20 year group;
and Sc had lived in Maryland for
20 years or a lifetime Twenty-six
had been in Maryland less than a
year.
OF the 748 answering the own
ership question, only 81 stated
they were renting.
Out of 742 answers as to place
of employment, 400 commute to
Washington. Bethesda was next
popular, then Silver Spring. Thir-
ty-eight listed Rockville, and 1O1
said they drive to other places to
work.
Some 100 wives reported en-
ployment outside of the home.
Their occupations varied from
secretaries, real estate, school
teachers, medical technicians and
patrol officers, to others.
A survey of occupations of
heads of households would indi-
caete a leaning toward u. S. Gov
eminent employment, Many are
servicemen, with the Navy in Be
thesda probably being best repr-
resented.
In surveying the occupations of
household heads it must be
stressed again that conclusions
were taken from information
available and details are by no
means complete. On the data
available, engineers, including all
types, led the list by big marg,
in. Statesmen, accountants, etc,
were a close second, with teach
ers being fourth. Next in order
came mechanics, those in various
managerial capacities, admins
traitors, physicists, machinists,
electricians, journalists. Several
are owners of businesses. The
survey indicated 20 registered
nurses, not heads of households.

100 additional Gray Ladies has
been received, it is necessary that
scheduling of appointments be
made promptly.
Motor service plays an import
ant part in the lives of both CT
villains and servicemen. Although
women drivers are usually
thought of when motor service is
mentioned, there also is an oppor-
tunity for men drivers. Thirty
five motor service members are
needed for both day and night
assignments.
