rousing spectacle. Possibly the
fac I that l stayed at the Conrad
Hilton Observation-Disclosures for
the Big Show-enabled me to
see much more of the color,
character and humor attendant
at these affairs. Most interest
ing to the first-time spectator
were the endless booths of
campaign gadgets quartered in
the exhibition hall at the hotel.
Buttons, pictures, flags, jewelry,
elephant novelties in all sizes,
wearing apparel-all to whet
the appetite of the party faith
full. The button manufacturers
were prepared for every even.
tuality-with every new rumor
OF a new vice-presidential posi-,
bility, an appropriate button
was displayed. At the end of
the convention, several weary
delegates were spotted wearing
i Hate Everyone" buttons.
The Pepsi-Cola and Coca.Cola
companies outdid themselves in
offering hospitality-free ma
chimes dispensing their wares
were on every floor of the hotel.
In addition, hospitality rooms
offering free orange juice, soft
drinks, coffee and cake were
manned by volunteers for all of
the presidential hopefuls and
American Airlines even offered
free Polaroid photos of all Wis.
itors to their suites. Not to be
outdone, many state delegations
had hospitality rooms at the
hotels where they were staying
and the Maryland delegation
was highly praised for their
fine hospitality room at the
Sherman Hotel.
The really big party of the
convention received very little

A New Discovery

During the past few years
there have been increasing re-
ports of dying boxwoods around
the county. The symptoms of
this decline are loss of color in
definite areas of the plant with
the foliage becoming gray
green, then yellow or even
straw colored. This results in
the death of entire branches,
generally in the APPEAL and
middle portion of the crown.
The bark of these branches be-
come separated from the wood
in most instances and, when
cut, the wood is discolored by
brown streaks. This condition
generally results in death of
whole plants.
The decline of lockwood has
been attributed to various
causes, such as poor soil drain
age, infertility of the soil, poor
roofing of transL lants, setting
plants too deep in the soil, or
winter injury. However, more
recently nematodes and soil
fungi have been suspected of
being casual organisms, and a
program is now underway at

Around the County in SeUen Days


MONTGOMERY COUN-
TY is quite cosmopolitan,
but if you will notice there
are always many wonder
fun country dinners that
people from all over the Wash
ington Metropolitan area love
to attend.
CERTAINLY ONE OF THE
most famous of these dinners
is the one given each year in
July at Sherwood School. This
is the well-known Hospital
Supper.
LAST TUESDAY more than
1000 folks had delicious fried
chicken and all of the trim.
mings. The food could not
have been better. The service
was excellent and the people
in the best of spirits.
MONTGOMERY GENERAL
HOSPITAL is fortunate in
having so many wonderful
friends who devote long and
productive hours in preparing
for the dinner and the bazaar.
1T Is IMPOSSIBLE to single
individuals out for the good
work accomplished because
there are hundred of women,
men and children who do great
work. And the proof of their
good work is ever present dur.

tainment provided.
NO WONDER THE HOS
PITAL dinner is a must for
thousands of people. It's got
ten to be real tradition and
everyone who knows about
this supper tries to be there.
And it's a funny thing: 1t
never seems to rain on the
nights chosen to give this an
nual affair.
FOR THE BENEFIT of
Sheriff Luke Bennett and his
wife, we rush to remind you
of the GAINESVILLE Picnic to
be held this Saturday. And if
you want to know that this
isn't any new thing, we remind
you that it's the Sind annual
GAINESVILLE Picnic.
THIS WONDERFUL PIC.
MIC is held at st. Louis
Church grounds, routes 80 and
108. Go to Ashton, and con-
tinue on old % to GAINESVILLE.
You'll smell the chicken and
country ham-you can't miss
it. The ladies will serve the
best country dinners you've
ever had from 1 pm. until
8 pm.
THE PHOTOS YOU SEE
here are examples of what
some of the Rockville men
are doing in order to get into
the spirit of Rockville's Gen.
tennial Celebration.
HENRY DIETLE is the Bill
ingsly of Rockville. He owns
and operates Dietles, famous
eating place near the Court
house. It's too bad Courthouse
Square was lost some years
ago when the new wing of
the Courthouse was added. 1t
would sound much better to
say Dietle's place on Court
house Square. Sounds more
centennial, If you know what
we mean.
THE OTHER GENT, look
ing not quite so happy about
the whole thing, is Paul
Pfeifle, well-known building
contractor with the Buchanan
Company. His daughter, by
the way, is one of the contest
ants for the Miss Rockville"
title.
EACH WEEK BETWEEN
now and the last of August
we'll feature a few of the
boards that are real symbols
of the Centennial Celebration.
1t wouldn't surprise too many
people if some of the boards
are seen long after the Gen.
tennial is over.

ANYWAY, WE DOUBT If
anyone is able to say that a
dinner party was a great sue
cess even though the two main
topics of conversation were
politics and religion. It's a
fact. All during dinner politics
was discussed. During the
after-dinner-drink nothing but
religion was argued. And you
know what? Not a soul got
angry. And we doubt if a soul
was saved. Nevertheless, it
was a real challenge.
