 Growth Of Kodiak

Outgoing president of the Cham Der of Commerce, Dr. Bob Johnson, m speech prior to relinquishing the gavel to the incoming presi- dent, Charles (Chuck) Powell, an alysed the present Chamber and the scope of it's effectiveness, to- gether with brief review of Ko- diak's growth in the past 20 years or more.
 He described the various stages of the City's growth. The pre-war period he designated as pastoral. :" This was the period, he said, of kerosene lamps, cows in the streets and yards, etc.-of the simple life.
 With the advent of war, another era came into being-the depend ent'' period. Kodiak at that time had only one industry, and was de- pendent on the Naval Station for part of it's economy. Electricity re- placed kerosene lamps, cows were removed from town, roads were constructed.
 But, he said, the community was not standing on its own feet There was no civic pride, and residents remained only so long as there was money to be made.
 This period lasted until 1858. Then started the independent" period-a period of community ac- tivity; desire by residents to want to improve the community, their homes, the situation of people liv- ing here. He said he has noted yards being landscaped, bigger boats, and working for the com munity.
 Dr. Johnson lauded the esprit de corp of many individuals in the Chamber of Commerce, but de- plOred the inactivity of others. He asked Chamber members to work comparatively, and to put in some effort other than an eight,hour work day, toward the betterment of the community-'your home, where you are going to live

mystery novels and plays
which have scared the daylights
and taxed the detective abilities
of generations of readers and
playgoers. Her "Ten Little In
dians" is considered a classic in
the mystery genre. "The Mouse
Trap" another play from her
prolific pen, is the longest run
ming play in the history of the
English theatre and is still play
ing to full houses in London.
Recipe Is Simple
Her recipe is seemingly quite
simple. Take one English coun-
try house, mix well with assert.
ed, interesting characters, spice
it up with a murder or two, add
touches of comedy, haste in a
few red herrings to throw off
the amateur detectives in the
audience and come up with a
solid evening of entertainment.
This is the case with THE Spid-
er's Web and what a wonder
full evening it was, complete
with chills, thrills--and murder.
1t all seems so simple. Ac-
tually, the writing and staging
of successful mystery melo-
drama has frustrated many the
atre groups. But not the Rock
vile Little Theatre Group
whose production is probably

and Richard Everhart for their
very effectively designed and
unusual programs. However, it
is hoped that with the next pro
duction, the stage manager runs
a tighter ship and keeps the off
stage talking down. This was
particularly annoying In the
first act.
All in all, it was a very en-
joyable evening watching a con-
stantly improving drama group
doing a first rate job. They are
certainly deserving Of the com.
munity's support, and I'm sure
they will get it with productions
TO the calibre of "The Spiders
Web"
Adding pleasure for the the
atregoer was the opportunity to
see show in a delightful and
well designed auditorium for
which the Rockville City gov
eminent deserves great praise.
Wouldn't it be fine if the Mont
gomery County Community
Concert series moved out of the
drafty, uncomfortable, and ac-
coustically impossible gymnasi-
UNI of Richard Montgomery
High School to the Rockville
Auditorium? Once you have
had an opportunity to enjoy
the best why settle for the third
rate? A play and a concert are
meant to be enjoyed--not en-
dured.

Feed Supply
Helps Wild
Life i'm Area

Members of the Rockville
Chapter of the Izaak Walton
League, with a big assist from
area merchants and State Off
Gals, have gone to the rescue
OF birds and other wildlife with
inadequate feeding supplies by
the series of heavy seasonal
SHOWS.
In cooperation with the Mary
land Game Commission and
merchants who helped defray
the cost of the project, league
members distributed grain sup.
plies last Sunday to county resi-
dents who agreed to place the
forage at feeding stations in the
area. Additional expeditions will
be made on successive Sundays
as long as the wildlife food
emergency continues to exist,
accoding to Paul Hubanks,
president of the local chapter.
The deep snow has made
natural feeding grounds mac
cessible to most birds and wild
animals in the county, and a
ev e r emergency exists
throughout the entire area, HUI
banks said.
The grain has been provided
by area merchants and is being
distributed to strategic locations
with the assistance of members
of the State game commission
Hubanks said. However, addi-
tional supplies will be needed
to avert widespread loss of life
by starvation unless the weather
undergoes marked change, he
noted.
Area residents interested N

in the program in other respects

Adding a touch of hilarity to

as madcap gardener, and
Jack Krentzlin, as the husband.
Perhaps it was opening night

Lee Woelk, as the butler, were
practically inaudible in the first
act. Young Elizabeth Davidson
played an extremely difficult
part with great ability and
pathos.

Damascus, like many other or
CARNATIONS, have had to cancel
several of its regular meetings.
However during this rest per-
lodi the time has been used
for extensive planning. The
Sunday School Superintendent,
along with the Pastor announce
they are studying plans for Sum-
day School advancement and
enlistment of new members and
more effective teaching. A con-
test is being considered to slim.
ulate interest between Junior
and intermediate Departments.
The Pastor is very pleased with
the progress already made in
the training of teachers and
other Sunday School workers.
Even as they plan for the fu-
ture the Pastor feels that they
are reaping the fruits of their
past labors. The Building Com
nittee is also hard at work.
Every effort is being made to
start construction of the church
building as soon as possible, on
the Is acre plot on Main Street
owned by the congregation.
Since the midweek prayer serv-
ice and the evening worship
services have been cancelled sew
