The Bethesda Chevy Chase Opt
mist Club is the sponsor for the
local Club. These clubs, as you
probably know, are comprised of
gentlemen who are interested in
boys and their activities. These
gentlemen have great plans for
a local club, so our young men
in Rockville are fortunate indeed
And here's good news for the
youngsters-the fall series of
Story Hours at the Rockville Pub
lie Library got off to something
of late start this year on Tues
day, October 26, due to some staff
changes, but it will be held regu-
larly each Tuesday afternoon
from $3.50 to 4:30 through De-
cember ID. This has always been
source of great pleasure and
enjoyment for the youngsters, so
be sure to make note of the day
and the hours and tell your
neighbors, too!
Here's a note for you teen
ayers who are members of the
Rockville Youth Canteen-Fri-

Canteen. 1t will begin at 8 and
end at 11:30 pm. and there will
be an orchestra. This will be

Do you have a battery-operated
radio you are not using? The
West Rockville Elementary
School needs one for Civil De-
fense and for use in case of a
power failure, as during the re-
cent visit from Hazel. The Safety
Committee needs help for Civil
Defense work and for the Bicy-
Gle Safety Clinic. Please call Mr..
Brian Benson, PO. 2-6229, or Mr..
Albert Gibson, principal, if you
can assist with either of these.
Have you noticed the "some-
thing new added to" our town
recently? All along the down
town streets are gayly painted
yellow trash containers for your
convenience. actually many of
them have been there all along,
but they are more conspicuous
now.) Remember-don't be a lit
terbug! They are for trash so
let's put it there and keep our
Rockville-County Seat of great
Montgomery County-clean! And
just in case you didn't know,
Route No.,29 is clearly marked
these days. Up and down Mont
gomery Avenue are new signs
saying so.

School. AS a matter of fact, Miss
Holup has another brother who
is a basketball star at GWU, too.
