who are certainly qualified mem
bers of the select go circle. They
are Claude and Effie Hobbs of
Colesville.
Claude is now IS years young,
and Effie is just past TO- But
both keep as active as they did
over half a century ago.
1t was just about half cen
fury ago that Claude and Effie
met. The romantic setting was
the one room school house in
Colesville. And now, some so or
so years later, Claude and Effie
quite proudly point to their big
family of eight children and %
grandchildren. 1t is real gath
ering of the clan when the SO
members of the Hobbs family get
together.
One such gathering was held
Christmas Day on the Hobbs
small farm in Colesville. There
were so many cars parked out
front, the story is that a stranger
pulled up and tried to get room.
He thought he had stopped at a
motel.
The day after the reunion, the
Hobbs celebrated their 10Th we'd
ding anniversary. So you can
see why the anniversary this year
will be very special event. And
we can expect a lot of excitement
out Colesville way when the
Hobbs golden anniversary bells
are rung.
You might mistake Effie and
Claude for newly-weds. They
have a happy life together. I
asked Claude why this was, after
so many years.
I've got a simple solution" he
said. Il work hard all day. When
get home, I just fall asleep. We
don't have time for arguments"
He had his tongue in his cheek
when he said it, though. I got
the feeling that he and Effie
would be lovebirds whether he
was working all day or not.
But the truth of the matter is
he does work all day, and very
hard. He transports livestock in
his big truck up to Baltimore. AS

NEWTON BARKLEY, 406

II that wasn't strenuous enough
for 75-year-old, he also takes

lot of young men who don't do
nearly as well.
AS a matter of fact, recently
my son Brooke was helping
Claude load a truck with live.
stock. But Brooke stood back,
after an especially difficult load
ing job, and admitted, ''Mr. Hobbs,
you're a lot faster on your feet
than ami"
Claude is a cross between a
toreodor and a farmer. In short,
he's quite a man. Throwing the
bull like he does would make a
man out of anybody!
But let's not forget Effie. She
is bundle of energy, too. She
still does all of her own house
work, is wonderful cook, and
during the warmer weather is ac-
tive in keeping a beautiful gar
den.
Both are very proud of their
grandchildren. "We have new
model every year." Claude says.
I'VE have % now, and General
Motors has nothing on us. If we
keep up with our average, we'll
have another new one this year."
His Oldest granddaughter is %,
and l guess his story about a
new model every year is true!
Claude used to have his own
dairy farm, but the growth of
Montgomery County almost fore
ed him into selling his large farm
and settling down to a slightly
quieter life as a gentleman farm
er. He still has seven acres, so
that he can stretch his arms with
out reaching into his neighbours
backyard.
He has lived in Montgomery
County since he was 10 years
old, and is one of it's best spokes-
men. Wouldn't live anywhere
else, and 1 bet I'll be saying the
same thing rs years from now!"
So our hats are off to you, Eff
fie and Claude. You are grand
people, and worthy members of
the 60 club. l hope that more
people will follow your example

the unique story from New Hav-

comfort to thousands of loyal Red
Cross disaster workers through
out the nation who have. been
plagued by false statements that
the Red Cross sells its supplies
or services to disaster victims.
When similar charges were voiced
in Connecticut, ten leading citiz-
ems placed a large advertisement
in the New Haven Evening Regis
ter and Journal Courier offering
$500 to anyone who could prove
such charges. Five weeks passed
without a taker. Finally, Judge
c. Donegan, who had held
the reward in escrow, returned
the money commenting in part,
"The offer is pretty clear evidence
that the malicious rumors were
completely unsupported by fact"
