Rockville Mayor Dickran Y.
Hovsepian, who works at the
Map Service, said the installa.

with Mrs. Reed is an outstanding
example of how Uncle Sam has
adopted industrial firms recruit
ing techniques. The city of Rock
vile also benefits from her teach
ing, he added, since some of the
boys are employed during sum-
mer vacations on city construc-
ton jobs.
Private mapmakers also keep
an eye on Mrs. Reeds gradual
ing classes. She said she has a
file of some Is job openings sub
mitted by private companies. But
she prefers to send graduates to
the Army Map Service.

in uniform, chances are they will
stay in map work while they are
in the service.
1t. Col. Robert B. Moore, exec.
utive officer of Mayor Hovsepi-
ans mapping division, said the
military photographers keep close
check on trainees with the back
grounds Of the RMHS map grad
yates.
He said that since the boys
almost invariably stay in map
work in the service, they are
broadening their own experience
in the subject. That makes them
all the more valuable to the
Army Map Service after they are
discharged to re-enter civilian
life, he said.
Mrs. Reed estimates she has
guided about so of her graduates
into the Army Map Service. In
the two years of instruction she
gives to the boys, she gets to
know pretty well whether they
will fit into the Map Service jobs.
In effect, she acts as a screening
agency for the Army.
Jerome MacClain, training off
Ger for the Army Map Service,
said there isn't another high
school teacher in the country
who furnishes the same sort of
service as Mrs. Reed. The Mary
land State Board of Education
said her course is the only one
of its kind in the state. She has
been running it since 1851.
MRS. Reed sends us a superior
quality of young men," said Mr..
Dunning.

hearth of my cabin in the Sugar
loaf Mountain near the village of
Park Mills; the cabin is located
lat the head of the branch which
runs toward the SUM-" This must
have been confusing to say the
least; for who ever heard of a
branch running toward the sun?
Now, we don't know for certain
which branch old Godfried's de-
Scendants followed to the spring
head, but we do know (from
'coonhunting all over Sugarloaf)
that there are three, not merely
one branch which empty into Ben
nett's Creek very. very close to
Park Mills.
Anyhow, so the story goes, the
search was begun on the most
likely-looking land the closest,
tool branch-the branch we know
today as Bear Branch. Upon
reaching the head of this rather
lusty mountain stream, no cabin
was in sight anywhere. Ut is
quite possible that a forest fire

Undaunted at not finding the
cabin, the search went on for
over a year, and was finally given
up as hopeless. AS far as we can
learn no search was ever at

other unknown land unnamed

Thomas Branch. These noun

I educational leadership. We feel
that the professional staff has
gained prestige because of your
consistent administrative support.
Lines of responsibility were de.
termined. A definite salary scale
was recommended.
Your personal interest in our
problems, both as individuals or
as representative of school, has
given us feelings of security.
When issues had to be faced and
all aspects had been discussed the
decisions you made were firm so
that we were left with no indeci-
sion. Issues of controversial ne.
ture were met with courage and
wisdom that gained respect from
all concerned.
Any merited recognition due
personnel of the system was read
lily given by you in an appropri-
ate manner. Freedom to try new
approaches to teaching was per-
mitted those who had the desire
and initiative. These aspects,
among others, were within a phi.
losophy of education in which
YOU stressed the basic skills as
starting point. Our united prog
ress toward clear-cut goals has
produced high morale as well as
better teaching Curriculum reW-
sions developed by representative
personnel. clearly reflected the
PHILOSOPHY of program of en-
riched basic skills. Finances to
support this program were un.
equivocally requested in the Su.
perintendent's Budget.
We also feel that every attempt
was made to recognize differences
of the various sections of the
county so that each could contrib
butte to a strengthened and uni
fled school system. This. and other
areas of public relations, were
carried on with a minimum of dis
turbance. and in general, with the
fullest acceptance by all.
The position of Superintendent
has increased in stature in the
eyes of the public. Indirectly. this
has strengthened the role of ele-
mentary principals in our various
communities.
Those who know you-citizens,
students. teachers - have gained
from their contacts with YOU. The
sense of dedication and the abil-
ity to see humor nav appear to
be poles apart, but they find in
YOUR personality a form of mutual
attraction.
We feel we have been fortunate
to have known you and worked
with YOU in the service of the
children of MONTGOMERY County.

In some gardens combination
OF paper and woody mulch gives

Reduce laborious garden weed

CRELEAsED BY CONG. HYDE,


Honorable Dewitt S. Hyde
House of Representatives
Washington 25, d. C.
Dear Congressman Hyde:
A recent investigation was
made to determine the advisable.
Fity of effecting a consolidation
of the service incident to a vacan.
cy on rural route No. 3, Rockville,
Maryland.
The existing rural vacancy at
Rockville affords the Department
an excellent opportunity to re-
align the service in that area in a
more suitable manner. The pa.
tronage of rural route No. 3 is
subnormal due to the unsatisfac-
tory location of the Rockville post
office with reference to the ter
ritory served. 1t is believed that
service in the Olney, Sandy
Spring, Ashton and Ednor, Mary
land, area should not continue to
be afforded by Rockville. The de-
livery limits of that office should
be confined to the area generally
west of Georgia Avenue extended,
State Route 81. between Norbeck
and Emory Road.
1t is proposed to transfer from
rural route No. 3, Rockville, to
mounted city delivery Cashell and
Emory Roads and the territory on
both sides of State Highway 81
between Norbeck and Bachelor
Forest Road. To serve Olney and
adjacent areas, it is planned to
extend rural route No. l, Brooke
vile, Maryland, to replace serv.
ice now being given by rural
route No. 3, Rockville. In add.
ton an extension of service will
be made on Old Baltimore Road
and on the roads located in the
Williamsburg Village. At present
no delivery is provided on these
streets. The extension of rural
delivery via the Brookeville rural
carrier viii require him to call at
the Olney post office and pick up
mail for delivery to patrons of
that office. In this way the resi-
dents will not be required to
change their post office address
but win be able to have mail adj.
dressed to Olney.
While the survey was in prog.
ress. an inquiry was sent to each
resident in the Williamsburg Vii.

preference as to postal address.
The unanimous choice was Olney,

=. Now Godfried wanted that
gold. Wanted it bad. So, what do
you know-old Godfried up and
stole it. In the dead of the night
he stealthily stole into the old
postoffice (Which still stands to.
day. and made off with all Of
those gold coins. $4,000 worth,
to be exact.
This robbery was the begin
ming of a particularly intriguing
legend Legendary because, to this
date, the gold has never been ac-
counted for On the other hand
Godfried's descendants (there are
several living today in Frederick
County, claim that this story is
not legend they say it is a fact.
We have personally talked with
one of Godfried's descendants
(who holds high position today
and he declares, without any show
of emotion, that this legend" is
not a legend, but real, honest-to-
goodness fact.
Well, the story goes like this:
old Godfried lugged his. loot land
it must have taken some lugging)
way back to his mountain cabin
and buried it. And, after the hue
and cry had died down a little,
Godfried perhaps being a little
fearful of being suspected in the
thefD took a boat to Germany,
his homeland, where he was al
most at once taken seriously i'll.
And, realizing that the end was
near, old Godfried called for some
of his closest relatives to whom
he related the story of the theft
and enjoined them to embark for
America and recover the ill-got-
ten gains he had hid away so care
fully. And then, as the story goes,
old Godfried passed away.
His relatives, not being averse
to picking up $4,000 for the mere
taking, embarked for America on
the first beat.
Arriving, they soon ascertained
the location of Park Mills. and
that of the Sugarloaf Mountain.
Park Mills is located at the very
foot of the large, densely wooded
section of the Sugarloaf, in what
is today Frederick County. AS the
crow flies it is not over six miles
