PooIesviIe Plans to Observe
75Oth Year Next Saturday

the greatest testimonials to the
peacef'llness Of Poolesville living.
II don't know why. but there
are probably more old people
here than any place In Mont
gomery county" Mr.. Aud unused.
1T guess we just take it easy"
Perhaps John Will Hail., who
left Poolesville in 1865. had the
answer in one of the closing
stanzas of a tribute he wrote
about the town before his death
in 1928.
Houses that were old when
the two nongenarians were born
will be open for the public tours
during Saturdays celebration, a
few of them for the first time
in their history.
Poolesville went nameless, ex-
cept for q nebulous designation
as the ''re-survey on part" of
Peters Forest made to Robert
Peter in 1884. One of the tour
houses Saturday will be the old,
restored tavern now owned by
e. c. Tillack. which is still called
Peters Forest" on tax records.
By 1904 John Poole, a mer-
chant, gave the four-houSe set
Element civic stature with a
name, It is a name which has
survived in descendants as well
as civic pride.
Mrs. Frances Poole Williams
still occupies the house built be-
fore 1900. In her hallway stands
a chair made from her grand
mothers spinning wheel.
Through the hall was carried
the dead Col. Baker. proud Union
officer. who swore he'd breakfast
in Leesburg the next morning
and was brought back a corpse
from Balls Bluff. Poolesville
had rallied around legendary
Col. Elijah Viers White, gave
him men. arms and horses and
the colonel was among those
waiting at the Bluff when the
Yankees crossed the Potomac.

Arlington School Plea

An organization of parents of
mentally retarded students plans
to ask the Arlington School
Board to keep the four classes
for such children united under
one roof at the Page Elementary
School.

cided to move two classes for

New Bulletin Gives
MANY Storage Tips

Ohio farmers can store gram
safely on their farms for more
than a year if they follow the
precautions listed in the new
USDA farmers bulletin No. 207l,
Lowell Folsom said today.
The Ohio State University grain
marketing specialists said shelled
corn, wheat, oats and soybeans
may be stored safely without
mechanical ventilation if the mois-
ture content is 1917 percent or
lower. The new bulletin gives
suggestions for getting grain down
to that level.
1t also offers suggestions on
building or remodeling buildings
to provide safe grain storage.
The new bulletin, Store Grain
Safely" is available at county ex-
tension offices.
