The state has spent thousands

plant, which often drifts into pack
ed masses SO thick that boat tram

rid a stream of water hyacinths
because they grow back from hid

Things were really jumping
over the week end.
The Sargent Shrivers tossed
a gay party Friday night that
introduced a new wrinkle.
They put the beginning and
ending time on the dinner
invitations and took a terrific
ribbing from their friends as
a result.
Mrs. Herbert May always
puts a complete time sched-
ule on her round and square
dance" invitations, but in the
case of the Shrivers, guests
didn't know there was going
to be dancing until they got
there. Hence they were puz-
zled when they noted that
the party was from "7:30 to
II" only.
COME THE DEPARTING
HOUR, stop watches were
pulled out and numerous
jokes tossed around, but
Sargent and Eunice simply
laughed them off. The party
ended by 1870, everybody
had a whirl and no explana-
tions were ever given, though
the reason seems ovbious.
Several present, including the
hosts, were getting up early
to go to the Army-Navy game.
The Shrivers' Rockville
house was gaily decorated
with Christmas red and gold
for the black tie affair that
drew about so. Dinner was

piece combo.
