Around the County in Seuen Days
By

FOR MANY YEARS we
have admired the Catholic
Church and its policy of
buying fine old houses and
converting them either for
homes for Sisters or for the
use of schools. The one won
derful example that comes to
mind is the old Corby estate
on Rockville Pike. 1t is now
the headquarters for The Sis
tiers of the Holy Cross.
NOT TOO LONG ago the
Robert L. McKeever family
sold the fine old house on
Georgia ave. to the Catholic
Church to be used as a home
for the Sisters who would
teach at new school under
the direction of st. Johns.
THE McKEEVER home was
a beauty. 1t was first built by
the Getty family and later
owned by William MOntgOm-
cry who started Acacia Life
Insurance Company. Mrs.
Montgomery was a sister of
Mrs. HI w. Hewlett, widow Of
the late DIR. Hewlett, one of
the first doctors in Silver
Spring. Then the McKeevers
bought it many years ago.
And the house has been the
scene of many brilliant parties
and happy occasions.
WHEN THE McKEEVERS
moved to one of the county's
historic houses, Woodlawn
Manor, several years ago, they
sold at nominal price, we I'M
derstand, to Monsignor Ken
nedy, great friend of the
family. We can't tell you how
many local people were glad
of this move. They thought
that the old house, with mag
nificent trees, lockwood and
many memories of that home
would be preserved.
LAST WEEK we saw signs
of so-called progress. The trees
had been leveled. The beauti-
full house looked forlorn in the
middle of nothing. Next the

house comes down to make
way for another modern build
ing.
IT'S OUR OPINION that
the Monsignor has made a
mistake. There must have
been space for that building
on another part of the prop
erty. But be that as it may.
It's just another fine old
home with great memories
that has been torn down to
make way for a plain mod
ern building. The only re-
deeming factor may be that
the kids who attend the school
will learn their lessons in
bright new surroundings.
They won't have to worry or
dream about what wonderful
times were had in that big
white house.
HARPER AND THELMA
SMITH make a wonderful
team in their new law office
in the Citizens Building i'm
Rockville. Harper is Assistant
States Attorney and it can be
said that ne has been a very
effective prosecutor. He
handles hundreds of cases i'm
the Peoples Court and many
. important cases in the Circuit
Court.
HARPER SMITH has grown
considerably in stature since
he has been in this position.
He was always a good lawyer
but his talents have been more
on display in the last two
years. He is heading for big
ger things.
LEN HARDY, it is remem-
bered, was a fine young law
yer but not too well known
when he became Deputy
States Attorney under Alger
Barbee. They were an excel
lent team. And Len Hardy.
presently States Attorney, and
Harper Smith are a good team.

Country Living Is
Theme of Ford Show

One of the most imaginative
agricultural exhibits ever as
sembled for travelling show is
Ford Motor Company's Design

visit Wheaton Plaza Regiona.

from June 80 through July 9.
Highly educational in concept,
the new and expanded Ford
show has II major exhibits of
interest to all age groups. 1t
will be making its first appear.
ance on the East Coast after
six appearances in major mid
western cities.
One of the highlights Is a
scale model farm of the flu
ture," which depicts how the
American farm may look and
operate in the year 2060. This
model farm gets all of its power
from solar energy absorbed on
sunny days by giant collectors
and stored in underground stor-
age batteries.
The heart of the farm is the
control center which houses the
farmer and his family, plus Of
fices for technicians, data proc
essing and scheduling machines.
Almost all work on the farm is
automated.
Another exhibit is Typhoon
II, a q scale model Of a dream
tractor. Virtually everything for
the farmers comfort and eff
cheney. from television to a
weather forecasting station, has
been designed into this colorful
tractor of the future.
Some of the mystery of lifr
will come alive for youngsters
who see a special incubator dis
play. Each day three dozen
ready-to-hatch eggs will be
placed in the clear plastic lncu-
bator, and visitors to the show
will be able to watch as tiny
chicks peck their way through
the shells to emerge into the
world. This display will also fea-
ture a series of color pictures
showing the progress of TIN
chick through the various
stages of embryology. These
pictures, taken as part of a high
school biology project by Pa
tricia Lowary of Wayne, N. j.,
recently were featured by Life
Magazine.
Those who wonder about the
conditions of the soil in their
lawns or gardens will have an
opportunity to get an expert
analysis. One of the displays at
"Design for Country Living" is
a soil testing booth. Soil tests
will be made free for visitors
who bring soil sample.
Another display for young.
sters is the 'Dippy Duck" slide.
In this section of the show, tiny
live ducklins wander about ex.
ploring a scale model dream
castle, and hurting down a plas-
tic slide into a pool of water.

even antiques. Whoever de-

the stores and a little thought
given to the plans. And if
that tremendous oak tree
could be left, it is felt this
would add to the Williams.

one seems to know who Owps

we hope they have a little
aesthetic as well as business
sense.

ED, and serious thought
should be given to the propo-
sition, that the States Attor-

At present, the States Attor-

the county was small and the

there are four.

most important i'm the county.
1t should be headed by a full

hit this office. Furthermore,
the present States Attorney is
all for it. The next move is
up to the State Legislature.
