Mrs. Gordon Umstead of
Olney, was recently elected pres
ident of the Olney-Norbeck
Homemakers Club for the 1862
club year.
Mrs. Umstead is well known
in the county for her work with
All. and the home arts ex-
hibits at the County Fair, but
this is the first time she has
served as president of a local
Homemakers Club. Having been
local leader of All for 10
wears, she started the Olney a.
H group in 1858, and is far more
willing to discuss the many
achievements of her girls, ="
which include winners of eight
state contests, and three win
ners of national scholarships,
than she is to tell of her own
accomplishments.
Her interest in All goes back
many years, before the starting
of the Olney group. 1t was at a
All Senior Council meeting that
she first met her husband, Cor
don Umstead. They have two
children, Betty, a graduate OF
Frostburg State Teachers Col
lege, and a son, Joseph, who is
assisting his father in the poul-
try business.
In fact, their poultry bust
ness is pretty much a family af-
fair, for Elizabeth spends a lot
of her time helping her husband.
They started a small catering
service featuring barbecued
chicken, which has grown to
the extent that they served over
5000 people last summer. AS ii
h a t wasn't enough chicken,
Elizabeth, a member of the
Women's Board of the Mont
gomery General Hospital, is in
charge of the chicken salad
which is featured each year at
the annual hospital supper.
For the past seven years, Mrs.
Umstead has been superintend-

Since that time, Mr.. Blu

At a press conference after

said he hopes to meet with
President Kennedy to discuss
the Presidents anti-discrim-

predicted a slight increase in

1,425 900 units.

Mr.. Buchanan's main eff

Are Destroyed
By Friday Fire

A fire of undetermined origin
destroyed a 14-room dwelling,
portions of it more than 200
years old, on the A. w. Scott
farm near Hampden-Sydney Fri
day.
The occupants, Mr.. and Mrs.
C. j. Gillespie, lost all of their
possessions in the blaze, which
left only charred and crumbled
walls remaining. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Gillespie work and were
absent when the fire started
about 1870 am.
Mrs. Elizabeth Scott Marks,
the property owner, said she
could not account for the start
of the fire unless it resulted
from defective wiring. The blaze
started in the kitchen area in
the old portion of the two-story
house lying in lowgroundS
quarter mile from the new resi-
deEce built by the late A. w.
Scott.
A frame addition was built
around the log cabin portion of
the house. Mrs. Marks said the
log cabin was we'll over 200
years old. and was highly valued
by the family.
Firemen might have been able
to save much of the dwelling
had a tank truck not become
stuck in a low-lying field when
going for more water from a
farm pond just 200 yards from
the house. The truck was finally
reprieved by a tractor.
The Hampden Sydney, Pros
pect and Keysville fire COM
panies joined in the futile eff
fort to save the home. A flare
up in smouldering tilnbers and
debris brought Farmville fire
men back to the scene at 4:45
pm, for a final soaking.
Mrs. Marks said the loss was
not covered by insurance as far
as she knew. She said calculat-
ing the amount of the loss was
impossible because of the great
intrinsic value placed on the
old home and the undetermined
value of household goods lost by
the occupants. Fire placed the
loss in excess of $1,000 on the
property alone.
