Hats off to Mrs. Francis x.
Crowley and her team of hard
working women who gathered the
imposing sum of $494.25 in the
door-to-door Mothers March on
Polio. Considering the many folks
who sent their contributions by
mail, we think this is an out
standing achievement. Many of
the marchers were among this
towns busiest people; but, as al
ways, they found time for one
more worthwhile undertaking.
The team, headed by Mrs.
Crowley, included: Mrs. Gene

Mrs. Thomas Wetherell of
Gaithersburg headed the crew of
workers in the Clarksburg- Ger
mantown-Quince Orchard area.
She wants to express her graft
tude to the mothers in those
towns who collected a grand total
of $300.S5. We've said it before,
but it bears repeating: Never UNI
derestimate the power of
woman.

Mrs. Donald Lehman, better
known in Gaithersburg as the
former Miss Nancy Woodfield,
was graduated from the School
of Nursing of Syracuse Univer-
sity on February 1. Completing
a four and one-half year course,
Mrs. Lehman received the Bache-
lor of Science degree as well as
her certificate as a registered
nurse. The candlelight ceremonies
were held in the Hendricks Me-
mortal Chapel at the university.
Mrs. George WOodfield, mother
of Mrs. Lehman, has just re-
turned from two-week stay in
Syracuse. Mr.. Woodfield joined
her for the graduation exercises.
In June, Mr.. and Mrs. Lehman
and their infant son. Stanley, will
move to Buffalo, New York, to
make their home.
Mrs. Janet Bell and Mrs. Eve
lyn Darby are on Long Island,
where they are the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. Alvin Foster.
The local firemen are to be
greatly commended for their he.
roic efforts when tragedy struck
our town last Saturday afternoon.
A two-year-old child died in the
blaze that all but wiped out one
dwelling behind the canning fac
tory. A kerosene-fed flame and
a roaring wind spelled disaster in
the frail, one-room tenement, and
it was only the unceasing efforts
of the firemen that kept the blaze
from spreading to other dwell
ings,
All of this points out the real
need for a citizens committee to
work with the local fire depart
ment in spotting potential danger
points and in arousing public con-
sciousnesS of fire hazards. A
