town has been the weather. 1t has
been long time since we have had
so much snow and truly frigid
temperatures. Then, too, it's beer
few years since the youngsters
have had a school holiday because
of snow. All in all, it was quite a
week with some fussing and fun
ing, while great many were truly
enjoying a bit of Lake Placid at
home! Around Beall Avenue way
it was difficult to determine who
was having the most fun-the kid
dies, or Joe Steinberg. Joe was
holding court all his own, roasting
marshmallows and hot dogs on an
outdoor grill for the coasters in be-
tween slides down the hill. Out
Roxboro Road way the youngsters
were having wonderful time, too,
coasting down a steep hill closed
off from traffic.
Probably the best news in town
was that Bill Sherman was home.
He was discharged from the U. S.
Marines on Thursday, after spend
ing the last year right in the front
lines in Korea. He arrived in the
states about three weeks ago. Sta
toned in San Francisco, he had an
opportunity to visit his cousins, Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Armando of Dale
City, who took him on a busy
sightseeing twirl of the famed
West Coast state. He flew in
\ Wednesday and was met by his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. William P.
Sherman. Welcome home, Bill, it's
wonderful to have. you back.
And another local boy is home,
recently released from the U. S.
Air Force = William T. Mayors.
The son of Mrs. Lottie L. Mayors,
he has spent three years with the
Air Force, seeing duty in Korea.
He returned to the states recently
and with his wife and young son,
Bill, Jr., will make his home in
Rockville. Another big welcome
home to the Mayors family!
