Unique Terms
NOU Used by
Defensenen

Committee rooms, House and
Senate chambers on Capitol Hill
these days are ringing to a
virile new vocabulary mouthed
by today's defensemen, Senator
J Glenn Beall (R.Md.) notes In
his current newsletter.
Military men appearing be-
fore the Senate Armed Services
Committee, Sen. Beall observes,
often refer to "surviveability,"
and something called "overkill,"
whatever that means.
And DR.. T. Keith Clennan,
head of the National Aeronau-
tics and Space Administration,
Is in there pitching with terms
like celestial garbage" to de-
scribe pieces Of expended space
rockets.
Meanwhile, Sen. Beall notes,
spacemen refer to satellites
whose radio voices have gone
dead as dark" satellites.

days here last week at the home
of Mrs. Hardzog's brother-in-

The weather, always a good
conversation piece, was certain
ly the big news of last week.
While many organizations can
celed their meetings and other
activities, there was a faithful
and hardy band of public-mind-
ed people who carried on de-
spite the hardships brought on
by the deep snow. Maurice
Spalding, the postmaster, has a
special word of commentator
for his carriers, who braved the
deep drifts and the high winds
to see that the mail got
through. Both the city and the
rural carriers made all their
accustomed rounds each day.
We'd like to join in expressing
our thanks for a terrific job.

Last weeks snow which
ught enforced inactivity
meant many things to many
people. One of our favorite
stories concerns a young mother
of five who admitted she en-
joyed having her children nome
from school. She turned the
kitchen over to them for cookie
baking, took walks with them,
snapped their pictures as they
played in the snow and saw
work and play. Another resi-
dent, saddened by the loss of
the diamond from her ring
three weeks ago, was busily
engaged in searching the house.
The more snow, the more time
for searching, but it finally paid
off. After sitting through the
contents of the vacuum bag,
tearing out the plumbing and
lifting the carpets, she found
the gem in a refrigerator pan
containing eggs.
The third major snow storm
this month cancelled or post
poned a number of meetings.
The Poolesville P-TA win hold
its next regular meeting on
