BY Kathleen Leary

The drought didn't dampen the
spirit of Montgomery County
farm families Saturday evening
when they gathered for their an
nual picnic at the Gaithersburg
Agricultural Center and selected
a Beallsville beauty, Miss Joan
Davis, as Montgomery County
Farm Queen for 1857.
The seventeen-year.old Richard
Montgomery High School senior
is the daughter of the former fire
chief of Beallsville and Mrs.
Charles Davis. She will reign at
the Montgomery County Fair
next month and compete in Sep
TENDER for the Maryland Farm
Queen title during the State Fair
at Timonium. Chosen winner
among IL county contestants,
Miss Davis has brown hair and
blue eyes, stands s. 6h" tall and
weighs 112 pounds. Her special
interests at school are the dra.
MATES and glee clubs, and she
has served as a class officer and
was a Girl Scout.
The blue ribbon and Is cash
prize from the Montgomery
County Farm Bureau was pre-
scented to Miss Davis by WGAY's
Chuck Dulane, who served as a
judge along with Mr.. w. Algie
Cooksey of Charles County, presi.
dent Of the Maryland Farm Blu
reau, and this reporter. Mrs.
Basil Waters was chairman of the
competition.
Miss Avis Cotter ran close
second in the contest and third
place went to Miss Lacy Miller.
All of the contestants received
prizes.
The program also included a
Talk Meet and Talent Find for 10
to 28-year-olds sponsored by the
Associated Young People, whose
president is Ronald Provost. A
speech by Robert Dorsey on what
the prospective farmer faces to-
day took first prize, and the Blue
Mountain Boys, a hillbilly band,
won the talent event.
A picnic supper, arranged by
the Associated Women of the
Montgomery County Farm Blu
reau, preceded the contests. Fam
lilies brought their own picnic
baskets, and the Farm Bureau
women poured gallons of Iced tea
and lemonade and later served ice
cream.
Hosts at the judges table were
Mrs. Bryan Kile, president of the
Associated Women, and Mr.. Kile
of Laytonsville, and Mrs. o. w.
Anderson, who was in charge of
the Talk Meet, and Mr.. Anderson,
of Gaithersburg. Other special
guests were Mr.. Wilbert Smith,
field representative for the State
Farm Bureau from the Western
Shore, and Mr.. and Mrs. Cook
sey.
The appetizing array of food
included fried homegrown chick.
ems, baked beans, homemade but
ter, home baked rolls, sweet buns
and chocolate layer cake. Au.
thentic German potato salad was
prepared by Mrs. Kile's daughter
in-law, Erica, who came to this
country about a year ago from
Frankfurt. Her husband, Ronald
Kile, was also on hand, as well as
the Anderson's daughter, Sally.

WACs in every country in which
American troops are stationed
which just about covers the world
except for Soviet Russia and it's
satellites.
Although she now presents the
picture of the typical teen-ager
with all the usual interests in
sports and dancing, Pamela has
an exceptional background that
makes her good copy as they say
in the trade.
Born in Hawaii, she moved to
Toxic at the end of World War II
when she was seven and her
father was working as a civilian
with the Army. She came to this
country for the first time in 1854.
In japan she attended the
American School with children of
all nationalities. At age II she
began ballet with the Japanese
troop Kitani, one of the best in
the country and continued with
them for two years.
Although Toxic is modernized
a good deal, her family's last
home there was part American,
part Japanese style, which means
grass mats on the floor and no
shoes.
Many of her childhood mem
cries are of Japanese games and
traditions. A counting-off game
for instance was jan-ken-poi
which uses the hands for the
symbols of scissors, paper, stone
to determine who is at" Then
there was ho-go-i-ta, a special
game for girls played on New
Years day. 1t uses shuttlecock
and battledore and is similar to
badminton.
New Years is a big day in
Japanese life and besides the
usual resolutions, the custom is
to clean the slate by paying off
all past debts. Cooking is also
forbidden and PANS reaction to
the traditional foods, all raw, was
'Ugh!n
The Hutchinsons were able to
remeber the annual girls day and
boys day for very good reason.
Her fathers birthday on March 3
is Girls Day when all the little
Japanese girls display their doll
collections. Her mothers birthday
on May IS is Boys Day, time for
the Japanese sons to go fly kite.
A highlight for Pam was a
Girl Scout expedition to Kyoto
and Marc, some 300 miles from
Toxic, where she visited the
shrines and temples and on the
way home stopped at Gifu where
they went out on the fishing
boats to watch cormant fishing.
This unusual method, not quite
in the Izaak Walton league, uses
bird to catch the fish where
upon you choke the bird and hi
jack the fish.
On this trip the Girl Scouts
also visited Mickimoto's pearl
farm where they watched the
pearl divers and got free samples.
Most of PANS souvenirs con-
sist of jewelry which she says is
very cheap in Japan. On the day
of our interview she was wearing
a lovely ceramic bracelet depict
ing the masks of some of the
gods such as farming and war.
Other trips with her family
included Atami, the hot springs
which the Japanese consider
fountain of youth" and to the
skiing resort of Akakura in the
mountains of northern Japan.
With all this behind her,
Pamela makes an interesting adj
dition to the Women's Army
Corp and, who knows, she may
revisit the scenes of her child
hood one of these days at the
expense of the man with the long
white WhiSkerS.
