Although BoydS is a nice,
quiet little country town, the
moving bug has struck several
residents lately and resulted in
the sale of two homes. They are
the homes of Mr.. and Mrs. Ar
thur Virts and that of Mr. and
Mrs. Russell Bennett. The Virts
expect to build another home in
Boyds, but the BENEFITS are UNI
decided as to where they will
move. We understand that
there are several other proper
ties for sale here also. Mr.. and
Mrs. Case have purchased a
home near VeirS NIL Village,
and Mr.. and Mrs. John Roney,
residents of the Buck Lodge
neighborhood since 1947, have
moved this week to Clifton, a
suburb of Frederick.
A covered dish supper was
held September Is in the Boyds
Church Hall for all members Of
the church and Sunday School
as a rallying point for the fall
activities. Several pep talks
were given and songs were sung
after the supper, which was at
tended by about so persons. An
other such supper is planned
for the near future, the work to
be done by the men of the
church.
The Women'S Association of
the Boyds Church is planning
an oyster and country ham sup
per to be held November Z in
the church hall.
At the morning services in
the Boyds Church, two little

Rev. and Mrs. James P. Kerr

to find that Mrs. Kerr's sister,
