Well, the big question has been
settled at last and Germantown
has been finally selected as the
site of the new A. E. c. build.
ings!
In spite of little "let-down"
feeling, we of Boyds are rather
glad that our peaceful country
side is not going to be torn up
by the hustle and hustle of this
doubtful blessing for the next two
or three years and yet, we are
close enough to feel some of the
economic advantages which will
follow such an increase in popu,
lation.
We congratulate Germantown
and wish them speedy adjust
ment to this sudden expansion in
size, population and business in
tereStS.
Boyds has certainly been "pic-
nic-minded' in the past few
weeks, for several have been en-
joyed by members of the COM
munity.
The first was when the C. E.
Society visited the Presbyterian
Home in Washington, on July II,
and held a service in which sew
eral members took part, after
which they enjoyed a picnic sup
per in Rock Creek Park. They
then went to the Derwood Church
where they repeated the service
held in the afternoon and the
Boyds choir sang several num-
berS.
On July 81, the same society
went to Taneytown to rehearse
for the big meeting on Aug. Z,
at PARIS Spring, and on the way
home, had a roadside picnic sup
per.
The c. E. Society of Boyds
Church also went to the Neels-
vile Church on July % to at
tend reception in honor of Ro-
bert Smith, who is leaving the
last of this month for Maryville,
Tenn. to study for the Presbyter.
ian ministry.
The Ladies Aid Society enjoy
ed trip to Marshall Hall on
Wednesday, July 81, taking a pic
mic supper along.
A birthday party was given
Miss Mary Gillian on her 18th
birthday, July %, by her par,
ents, at their home here. Many
beautiful presents were received
and refreshments served to about
twenty of her school friends.
James and Randy Gillian re.
turned on Saturday from a
weeks stay at Ocean City, Md
with their aunt and uncle, Mr.
and Mrs. Jack Schaum, of Chevy
Chase.
The biggest picnic of all in the
Boyds Area was held on July
80 on the farm of Ralph Staley
by the Mems Community Club
at which time Mr.. Smith Hoyle
was honored by the Church ano
community.
He was presented with a scroll
by Leonard Rice, enumerating
the various offices he has helc
in the Church for many years
with a present from the C. E
Society, by James Spring anc
with a purse from his friends il
Boyds, by Earl Vail.
Besides this, a guest book wa:
signed by all present, wishing
him many more years of usefu
life. A corsage was also presented
to Mrs. Hoyle, after which al
partook of the bountiful picnic
supper. Games were played BY

Mr.. Abel tried to keep up with
her in the bidding hut finally
gave it up as 4 bad job and
doubled i've clubs. That was
Q mistake, too.
Mrs. Keen opened the deuce
Of spades. Mr.. Abel played the
queen and Miss Brash rutfed.
Looking the situation over she
saw that she had one heart
loser and probably two diamond
losers. That is. Mr.. Abers strong
bidding made it fairly sure he
had the king Of diamonds be-
hind dummy's queen.
To eliminate one Of these
losers Miss Brasll proceeded as
follows: At trick two she led .
heart and put in dummy's ten
when Mrs. Keen played low.
Mr.. Abel won with the queen and
returned q club which was taken
on the board with. the jack.
Another spade was led and
riffed in the closed hand. Mr..
Abel played the I'VE Of spades
ON this trick. Now . heart was
led to dummy's ace and q third
spade returned. Here Mr.. Abel
made the careless play Of the
ten spot. which gave Miss Brash
q chance to make her contract.
She ruffed the third lead OF
spades In her hand. At this
point she was ready for the
crucial play. She led her last
heart. ruled 1t with the trey
Of clubs and returned dumny'sI
last spade. When Mr.. Abel
played the king she calmly
threw on the deuce Of diamonds.
Note that II Mr.. Abel had
saved one Of his smaller spades
he could have played It on this
trick and Mrs. Keen would have
won with the jack for . lead
through dummy's queen Of dia-I
monds.
AS 1t was. however. Mr. Abel
found himself In the lead with
three hopeless choices Of . re-
turn. He could lead . spade or
d heart, either OF which could be
ruffed In dummy while Miss
Brash discarded the last losing
diamond from her hand: or he
could lead . small diamond
which could be ducked In the
closed hand and won BY dulnmy,s|
queen. Obviously the lead Of
the king Of diamonds was also
D losing proposition.
Actually he led = spade and
Miss Brash dropped her SIX Of
diamonds and ruined with
dummy's ten of clubs. She was
very lucky to md M. Abel with
the singleton club holding. but
apparently she took this as no
more than right, Her only COM
ment was. Partner. for 3 mo-
