The week before Christmas has
a sort of infectious magic com.
pounded of excitement, anticipa.
ton, busy plans, brisk weather,
and the inevitable rush. It's that
sort of spirit that is dominant
in the news notes of the churches,
the clubs and civic organizations,
and the townspeople themselves.
Over at the Asbury Methodist
Home, they have been celebrat.
ing Christmas ever since Decem.
ber d, when the first of the holi.
day schedule of teas and pre-
grams took place. Local clubs
and church groups, as well as
many out-of-town organizations,
have brought Yuletide cheer to
the Asbury family. Last Tues.
day evening variety show was
presented by members of the
Shepherdstown Methodist Church.
On Friday evening, a program of
carols was given by the Young
people of the Prospect-Marvin
Charge. Gaithersburg Campfire
Girls also conducted a carol sing.
Yesterday afternoon the tradi-
tional Christmas tea of the Neigh.
borhood Garden Club was held
at the home. The beautifully.
appointed tea table, the array of
delicacies and party fare, and the
program that follows all combine
to make this event an eagerly
awaited one each year.
Tomorrow evening (Friday)
the Washington Grove choir will
present a Christmas cantata, and
members of the church will serve
refreshments to the Asbury
guests.
All Montgomery County Safe
way Stores are cooperating with
the Christmas Bureau of the
Health and Welfare Council of
the National Capitol Area by serV-
ing as collection stations for con-
tributionS for the needy. The
Gaithersburg Safeway has col
lection spot at the exit, and you
are urged to give out of your
bounty to the destitute of the
area. Gifts of food clothing,
money and other items suitable
as gifts for the underprivileged
are greatly needed. Most of us
don't know the meaning of real
need, but our own Christmas
spirit will be given a real boost
as we remember with our gifts
those who do know what poverty
means.
Donald Magruder, manager of
the local Safeway, has gone be
yond the requested cooperation
with the Christmas Bureau. Mr..
Magruder has arranged for San
ia Claus to be at the store all day
on December 20. Free Pepsi-Cola
will be given to all the young
sters who come in. You are
urged to have the children bring
their donations of food or toys
to Santa, who will see that they
are distributed where they are
most needed.
Congratulations to Nat Blum,
owner and operator of the Holi-
day Motel. located on Route No.

1t is possible to say with con-

through its STAFF employees.
Leaks might fatally ham,

might compromise the secret
operations Of Allied intelli-

CHA works hand-in-glove-

side, rejects the theory that
