Ex-Fireman's Quick Action
Helps Save Home, Family

The presence of mind of an
ex-volunteer fireman saved his
family from possible injury
and his home from being de-
stroyed after a short circuit
caused a fire at his home at
1908 Turkey Branch Pkwy.,
Rockville, on Monday.
According to Fire Inspector
Don B attersby, Charles w.
Nuce, upon discovering the
blaze in the laundry room of
his home, closed the door to
that room, led his family out of
the house and then systemat-
ically closed all the doors and
windows in the house to keep
fresh air from tanning the
flames.
The fire, which caused an es-
timated $4,000 loss, started in
the electrical system in the
basement around dinner time as
Mrs. Nuce was using the wash
ing machine.

ment responded to the blaze,

Class of '23
Has Reunion
AT Simmons

If your best friend in school
had a shock of black, wavy
hair, and a trim figure, it's a
sad thing to meet him a few
years later when he sports a
bald plate and an extended
abdomen.
But this fearful moment
didn't arrive for members of
the 1923 graduating class of the
old Rockville High School Sun
day when they gathered for
their fourth class reunion at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin
Simmons, 1911 Glen Mill Road,
Rockville.
These CHI anges, celebrants
happily noted, were marked
during the first Is year spar
around 1913. However, Sunday,
everyone was saying, you
haven't changed a Bit" Mrs.
Simmons said. 'Most of the
fun was taken out of the meet
ing as a result, but we had a
fine get-together. You know
people don't ange much
every five years." she added.
Alth ough the 1923 class
hasn't formed an association,
they manage to keep tabs on
one another through the peren-
NAL grapevine. Only two mem
bers of the original class are
deceased. Some II of the orig
inal "a students attended the
buffet luncheon and paid a YER
bal tribute to their high school
principal, Harry Beall and
commercial teacher, Miss Katie

decrease from the budget Of
Malaga alone. before Septem-

expenditures Of 1862 million
Malayan dollars (S58.7
Million.
Malaysia consists Of the
former British colonies of
Malaga, Singapore, and the
Borneo states Of Sarawak and
Sabah, formerly North Borneo.
The budget is expected to be
debated in Parliament Deem

One factor in holding down
the budget total was considered
to be next years parliamentary
elections. Prime Minister Tun-
ku Abdul Rahman's right
wing Alliance Party govern
ment has made fiscal integri-

The proposed drop in defense
expenditures is expected to
provoke lively debate in Parlia-
