Boys Club at
TwinbrOOk Will
Enter Six Teams

The Twinbrook Boys Club
hopes to enter six teams in the
leagues of the Montgomery Coun.
ty Boys Baseball Association this
year.
The first games in the midget
and junior classes are scheduled
the first Saturday in May The
senior teams will not begin play
until the end of the school year
in order to permit the varsity
players to participate. After the
end of the school year, all games
will be played during the week
as twilight games, starting at
approximately 6 pm.
In addition to the midget team
sponsored by the Donley Con-
struction Company and coached
by Arnold Duquette, and a senior
team sponsored by the Loyal
Order of Moose Club of Rockville.
This senior team will be coached
by Harry Beane and Jack Free
burger, both of whom are well
known to baseball fans in the
county.
The Boys Club is seeking in
formation and help in financing
two more midget teams and a
junior team. This number will
permit the formation of a 4-team
midget league, with all games,
except the county championship
games, to be played in Rockville,
thus eliminating a Transports
ton problem. The junior and SEN
ior teams will necessarily have to
travel to one game each week.
Any business firm, club, church,
or individual who is interested
in sponsoring one of the above
teams should contact Leo Nc
earthly, Poplar 2-4579.
The Boys Club also desires to
have experienced baseball men
offer their services as coaches
for the boys teams. There is a
coach's job open on one midget
team and the junior team.
The Twinbrook Boys Club
membership is not limited to boys
from the Twinbrook area. Any
boy between the ages of 8 and
II living within or near Rockville
is eligible to join. There is a
registration fee of one dollar and
dollar year dues. This permits
participation in all sports during
the year.
Boys Club members will hold
a rally at the Twinbrook Elemen-
tary School at 800 pm. on Mon
day, May II, at which time a
Candy Drive" will be launched

visit until I reached there. When
l arrived at the home Milor was
delivering a talk. He was intimat-
ing to the group present that the
candidates who would be endorsed
by the Citizens for Good Govern
ment would be required to pro.
mise to fire all city employees
and the general theme of his
talk was to prejudice the resi-
dents of the old section of Rock
vile against Government en-
ployees and other newcomers.
Mr.. Oxley said, Il knew Mr..
Milor was misleading those pre-
sent and, thereupon, interrupted
his discussion.
At that time Mr.. Oxley assert.
ed Milor requested me to get
some of the persons interested
in Citizens for Good Government
to come to the meeting in ques.
ton. I Immediately telephoned
several of the men interested in
Good Government. They respond.
ed to the invitation, and upon
their entering the meeting Mr..
Milor wanted them to assure him
that he would receive the sup.
port of the Citizens for Good
Government in his candidacy for
Mayor.
Milor said, according to Mr..
Oxley, that he wanted to name
two other candidates for the
Council, giving him control. The
gentlemen from the Citizens for
Good Government, having no
authority to promise anybody a
nomination, advised Mr.. Milor
he would have to take his chances
with a democratic process of
selection"
1t is quite clear to me Mr..
Oxley said, from what took place
at this meeting, that Mr.. Milor
is aspiring to become town boss.
After this Milor proceeded to

added.
Mr.. Oxley pointed out that

Taken in a County squad car

covered from the boys at the Be
thesda police station.

The first meeting of the new
season for the Horticulture So
ciety was held at The Highlands
on Tuesday, April 6. There are
l6 families in this group which
meets for dinner the first Tues
day in the month from April
through October. Each family
takes a covered dish, and even
the members are amazed at the
way diner works out. The host
ess provides the hot or cold
drink, according to the weather,
and usually one other dish for
the menu. Mr.. Edward Iddings
always takes spoon bread, but,
except for that, no one knows
what anyone else is taking, and
yet very seldom are there too
many desserts or is the meal un-
balanced in other ways.
Horticulture exhibits are taken
to each meeting, and the mem
bers themselves provide the pro-
grams, there being no guest
speakers. For the first and last
meetings the programs precede
dinner, but with daylight saving
the hour of meeting is changed
and dinner is served first.

Al Beef Tour
Described AS
Big Success

The Annual Montgomery Coun-
ty All Beef Tour was held the
past two Saturdays with All
Club members, parents, breed
erS and Extension livestock spe-
cialists. The group of 139 persons
visited 33 All homes where they
saw 81 steers and breeding ami
mails.
At the beginning of each day,
score sheets were handed out to
club members in order that they
might have a guide in scoring
each individuals project. The
sheet included the following
items: pen, equipment, feed and
water, condition of calf and rec
ord book. At the conclusion of
the tour, general discussion
was held in regard to how the
Club members were doing with
their calves. The weaknesses
were pointed out as to where
each Club member might i'm
prove his or her project.
In comparing the calves to last
years, the leaders and club mem
bers felt that we have a far SUI
perior group of animals this year
and their condition is much bet
ter too.
A majority of club members
were able to exhibit their ami
mails by halter.
At the next regular meeting of
the Beef Club on April 28th, the
group will continue their discus
sion of the Tour.

BY Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
Former US. Representative to
U.N. Human Rights Commission
We in the United States are
somewhat similar to the people
of Israel. After all, our nation,
like Israel, was built by immi-
grants, people who came to this
country to escape oppression, to
find new ways of life. It took
people with a spirit of adventure,
skills, inventivenesS and courage.
We see the same forces operating
in Israel.
There are other similarities.
Israel is built on law, on respect
for law, on respect for the human
being, and on desire for a demo-
cratic way of life. We also believe
in government by law, in respect
for the human being, in a demo-
cratic way of life.

der, the child alternates, using
first one eye and then the
other. BY the time a cross
eyed child grows up, he usu-
ally will have lost the sight
in the weaker eye If his con-
dition has not been treated.
Aside, from the social as
poets, the taunts and teas
ings suffered by q cross-eyed
child, there are sound medical
reasons for beginning treat
ment early. Until a child is
about 6 months old, his
eyes do not coordinate prop
erly and frequently appear
crossed. BY the time he is
old enough to toddle, how
ever, 1t is possible to deter
mine whether or not he has
cross-eye. Most experts agree
it is best to treat the condi-
ton between the ages of one
and four. AS a child grows
older, treatment takes longer,
and complete cure may not be
possible.
To correct cross-eye, an
eye doctor might recommend
glasses, surgery, eye exercises
or a patch over the stronger
eye. Treatment, Of course,
varies with the individual,
and sometimes several meth
DDS are used together.

eyes are not straight, con-
suit an eye doctor or call the
