Attention all new residents:
Maybe you should be registering
to vote! Has to be done by Sep
TENDER %, 1858, if you wanna
vote November A.
You are eligible IF: you are an
American citizen, 81 years old by
November A, 1858; and have lived
in Maryland since November A,
1857, and in Montgomery County
since November 20, 1857.
Registration goes on all the
time at Rockville, in the County
Building. Between 9 AM. and
4:30 PM, Monday through Fri.
day, that is. But if you live here.
abouts, you can register with the
rowing board, which will be at the
Cabin John Fire House on Mac
Arthur Boulevard on Monday,
August 25, from 7:30 to $3.50 PM.
(For other rowing boards, call the
County Building and ask them.
We only know about our beat.)
Number, please: These
days, if you call up your
friends in Cabin John who
live out beyond Seven Locks
Road, you get an operator
who tells you that their num-

folks, among others, are be.

new exchange on Bradley {.
Boulevard at Seven Locks.

whizzed past the building
without noticing it. The Tele-
phone Company, bless it, has
left most of the trees on its

Like all progress, this move has
been greeted with a certain
amount of mumbling. Who wants
to memorize a new number for
his home telephone, after all?
And then there is that uncertain
feeling that maybe people won't
be able to reach you. That will
all be forgotten in a few months,
especially after the new telephone
book comes out. And the people
on the new exchange will find
that they do get better service.
Much easier to get private line,
for example, with the generous
supply in new exchange!
Matter of fact, right NOW the
people on Empire 5 and AK
minister 9 exchanges, as the new
ones are designated, have some
thing we don't have. They can
dial their own long distance calls,
station to station. That's so new,
hardly anybody has it.
Boy Scout Troop 444, Cabin
John, will be under the leadership
of Andy Thomas when meetings
start in the Fall. Mr.. Thomas,
of Fairway Hills, is famous for
canoeing and photography. He
will be assisted by John Mazzi,
who was formerly assistant to
the previous Scoutmaster, Nor
man Nelson. And Allan Pitt,
Scoutmaster of the local Explorer
group, has been giving helping
hand. He meets with Troop AIS
patrol leaders, who are taking
some training these Monday
nights.
The Town Hall of Glen Echo is
being kept trim around the lawn
by'tlrcbtuwn's teen-agers this Sum-
mer. Mrs. Irene Cannon started
the activity off by consulting
with the young people about what
the pay was to be. They must
have arrived at an attractive
figure: when l saw the list on
the post office bulletin board
earlier in the season, nearly
every date was filled in. Volun-
teers included Cup to them Gary
Hunter, Thor Olson, John Can
non, Ray Espinosa, David Elem
ing, HOWE Thompson, Pope
Espinosa and Robert Keiter.
The lawn gets cut every Tues.
day, and one of the members of
the Town Council checks it over
Tuesday evening before Smelling
out the dough. And there's a rule
that no power equipment is to
be used unless an adult Is in at
tendance. That'll keep the kids
physical fitness just fine. And
the lawn looks fine, too.
While we are in Glen Echo,
see that Mrs. Marjorie Sparks
Gilbert, who lived in the town
last year with her son, Bill L.
Gilbert and family, is away off
to Arizona. She has been appoint
ed by the United Presbyterian
Church as campus hostess and re-
lief supervisor for Canada Mis-
sion on the Navajo Indian Reser.
