AND SPEAKING OF THE
COMIC SIDE, the best dig of
the whole visit was pulled of.
by Mrs. Khrushcheva. Her
last night in town she tossed
a small dinner party in the
Presidents guest house to
which she invited her most
constant companions, Mrs.

Union. respectively; Mrs. Foy
Kohler, wife of the Acting
Assistant Secretary of State
for European Affairs, and
Mrs. Buchanan. wife Of the
Chief Of Protocol.
When all but the latter
drove up in taxis, it gave
Mrs. K. who was apparently
kept informed by a watcher
at the window the biggest
surprise of her tour.
Nonplused by this uncapi-
talistic look of things, she
turned to the three women
and asked: Don't any Of you
have enough money to have

They took the rubbing with
a grin.

The recent Russian visitors
picked UP quite O bit Of
know-how while they were
here. And some Of 1t came
about in the most unexpected
way.
For instance. Mrs. Khru-

cause Mamie Eisenhower had
1t sent to her. but she has no
intention Of wearing 1t.
The First Lady had sug-

MEMBERS OF THE EN-

THE TWO THINGS Mrs.

iced tea when she first tasted
1t at the Wiley Buchanans'
Saturday a week ago. It
was already seasoned with
sugar, lemon and a sprig of
mint.
Apparently no one had
thought Of icing tea. in the
land Of the hot samovar.
IT WAS AFTER THAT
TEA PARTY that Ruth
Buchanan went on the most
frustrating shopping trip Of
her life. Mrs. M. A. Sholo-
khov, wife of the famed So
Wet author, had a list Of
things she wanted to pur-
chase here and Ruth took her
under her wing. They didn't
start out until Sis to get it
all done, but obviously Mrs.
s. didn't think that would be
a drawback in a country that
mass-produces everything.
First they went to the
blouse counter in a depart
ment store and Mrs. S. asked
for a lacy one in her size (42
but they didn't have it. Then
she asked for a lace dickey
for herself and three more
for her daughters-in- claw
but they had only one and
it was too small. In despera-
ton she bought 1t anyway.
BY this time Ruth, who
was trying to explain this
embarrassing lack through
an interpreter, was inwardly
praying for capitalistic album
dance while desperately try
ing to get over to the sales
girls that our national reputa-
ton was at stake.
Next they went to the
girdle counter where Mrs. S.
wanted a short one Of thin
mesh such as teen-agers

too firm a foundation and
would never think of squeez-
ing themselves into a waist

The store didn't have it.
but finally a larger thicker
type was produced and she
compromised and took it
without even trying it on. If
it wasn't big enough. she
said, she would have inserts
put in it in Russia.
Mrs. Buchanan's face be-
came less red in the shoe de-
partment where the visitor
found a pair of walking pumps
right of. But at that point
the store closed and they had
to go to a drugstore for the
stockings and toys she sought.
But, alas!" exclaimed Ruth,
"she wanted six pairs of
stockings and the drugstore
had only four. And she wanted
cuddly dolls or animals for
her 2-year-old grandchild,
and was told they wouldn't
get a new supply until close
to Christmas. I tried hard to
explain these shortages
through the interpreter, but !
don't think they understood,
and all I could think Of was
what terrible propaganda this
was for us!"

Heat Brings
TWO Road
'Blo,Uups'

Extended spells of high sum-
mer temperatures have begun
to exact their toll from concrete
roads in Montgomery County.
The State Roads Commission
station at Gaithersburg reported
two "blowups" only last week as
the mercury scared into the COS.
One was on Rt. 124 between
Damascus and Woodfield and
the other on new U. S. % near
Burtonsville.
Blowups are caused when ex.
banding concrete road slabs
press against one, another and
have nowhere to go but up. Ex-
pansion cracks provided be.
tween slabs to take up this ex.
pansion often become filled
with stones and debris. When
this happens during hot spells,
the slabs usually buckle upward
at their joints.
Repair of the blowups usu.
ally means breaking up one OF
more of the slabs affected and
laying down asphalt sections. II
the road is heavily travelled and
is concrete for all or most of its
length, the broken section is
replaced with concrete.

Assessment
Rate Under
Study Here

The rate at which Montgom.
cry County assesses real estate
was being studied this week by
a State Survey committee as
part of a Statewide study re-
quested by the General Assem-.
bly,.
Last such study in 1853 found
that some Maryland counties
were apparently keeping their
assessments low to get more
State funds. Calvert County was
assessing for tax purpose as low
as 25 percent of market value
while all Maryland counties av-
eraged about so percent Balti-
more City was assessing at the
rate OF 6o percent
The findings brought public
pressure to bear en- some coun
ties to raise their assessments
because the practice they had
been following brought them
State funds they otherwise
would not have been entitled to
get.
Walter Lindsay, State Assist
ant Supervisor Of Assessments,
is chairman of the six-member
committee. Others on the com.
mittee are: Norris Burgee, AS
sistant Director of Assessments,

Trained to attack anyone who
approaches, the "sentries" may be
safely handled only by their mas
tiers. Hand and voice signals are
used to direct the dogs whether
they be close at hand or patroling
their duty stations.
To illustrate the great distance
from which these dogs can be di-
rected, First Lieutenant Ronald
Komorink of ROseville, Mich, eX-
ecutive officer of the Nike site,
related, "One handler placed his
dog at home plate on our baseball
diamond and ran him through his
PAGES by means of hand signals
from center field"
The dogs, trained four hours
daily, are trained not to destroy.
Their purpose is to alert the hui
man sentry of the presence of an
enemy and hold the intruder if he
attempts to flee.
The canine sentries arrived in
the Washington, D. c., area after
receiving Is weeks of "boot" train
ing with the 26th Infantry Scout
Dog Platoon at Fort Benning, Ga.

SWAN QUARTER
BIDDY LEAGUE
TRIMS ENGELHARD

"Engelhard played a good game
but I'm glad we won" said biddy
player as he journeyed back to
his home on last Saturday. This
statement adequately expresses the
sentiment of all the team members.
In the third contest of the sea-
son, Swan Quarter came out vic
tor with score of 17-11 making
a total of two wins and one loss
over Engelhard. Swan Quarter
rallied in the second to the tune of
s runs. This caused the Engelhard
team to tighten it's belt, wipe it's
sweat and settle down to some
good defensive playing and they
held the opponent at 8 while they
tied the score in the last of the
9Th at II all. In the top of the 7th,
Swan Quarter again rallied for 6
more runs. Determined to hold the
score they took the field and in the
midst of spectacular errors and
superb coordination they held them
to IL runs. Smithwick was hot and
retired the first two hitters while
the third popped out to the in
field.
The Engelhard team proved to
be excellent hosts and the team has
shown much improvement since the
beginning of the season. Mr.. Bill
Harvey Cox is to be complimented
on his tireless effort to give the
necessary supervision to these boys
8 thru IL years of age. He is
definitely molding them into a
team that will make him proud as
time passes and they grow into the
game. AS every one knows, this
is no easy task and he needs the
support of every person in the
community, not only with finances
but also with their physical assist
ance. He would be grateful for
men who are willing to give of
part of their time to help in the
practicing of these boys and who
will lend hand in general. The
same thing applys to the Swan
Quarter community, and it is
hoped that the other communities,
Fairfield and Sladesville will make
an effort to oganize their boys so
that they might enjoy some of the
fun that should be theirs.
