The Rockville Volunteer Fire.
mems Carnival is the place to go
to see all of your friends at one
time. There is plenty to do, more
to see, and many humorous in
cidents. David Belts, an attorney,
is the master of ceremonies on
one of the stands. He keeps his
clients in an uproar Howard Mus
grove, our barker on the adj
jacent stand, gives the appear
ance of anything but that If his
true profession, a member of the
local constabulary force.
In between, and around the
stands you can find everything
from a fifty-cent golf ball game
to a penny pitching balloon booth.
Glowing is at its best! Gene
HILBERT (some say he hasn't
changed a Bit, George Smith
and Tom O'Connor were delight
ing the young and old with their
many antics. There is a lucky
number ball game with Vernon
Order, Johnny WEIGH, Ken Day
and Jim Fitzsimmons umpiring
and an aluminium stand with
Stanley Carter, Mr.. and Mrs. r..
c. Rail, and Carol Schneider call
ing in the bidders.
Honorary chief Valentine C.
Wilson was talking with Bill Ber-
ry, who is in charge of the door
prizes and does the emceeing. The
stands for the three new automo-
biles are in a constant state of
rush. On one stand is Hazel Mus
grove, Alice Mills, Mamie and
Archie Talbert, and Roger Shell
man, and on another are Johnny
Poole, Ralph Gates, Tommy Mel
vim and Pat Mills. Last in line
are Cagney Mills, Rue and Jenny
Osmond, and Mr.. and Mrs. Bill
Oden.
There are still three more big
nights and don't forget to support
our volunteers. There is lots
more to do than I could men,
ton here and many more games
of chance like Nathan Gartner's
and Albert Hamke's doll stand
and the grocery store with Sam
Carter and Charlie Poole clerk
ing. The refreshment stand pro-
vides delicious hamburgers, hot
dogs, etc. and the french fries are
out of this world. There are also
many more hard working people
doing more than their share for
the carnival who deserve recog-
milton and thanks for a most inn
portant project, and the best way
we can do that is by going to
see them.

Questio rs Of The Week

/ Q-How late can | seed small
grains?
A-RecOmmended seeding dates
for wheat are up until October Is
west Of the Blue Ridge, until No
vember in Piedmont. and until
November l5 III eastern Virginia
Deadlines for barley seeding are
October 20 west Of the Blue Ridge
and in Piedmont Virginia. and No
vember ! in eastern Virginia. Oats
should already have been seeded.
I CIVIL it pay to grain feed 900 to
l,oo0pound CRASHED steers2
| A-This depends on your indi-
vidual situation. If you have feed
on hand, and can get the steers to
choice grade within relatively
short time 100 days or sol il viii
likely pay to feed them. If you are
short Of feed. and you can get a
fairly good price now. probably you
should sell NOW.
@ How can l get rid Of skunks
that are eating grubs in my yard?
Aft the skunks are eating grubs
they're doing you a favor. However
II you want to get rid of them, ask
