Rock Creek
Dams Win
Congress OK

Construction of two big dams
on Rock Creek, near Rockville,
seems assured as a result of
Congressional authorization of
the long-planned, $2.1 million
project.
Man-made lakes above the
two large earth dams will be
about IA and 81 acres in sur
face area, providing substantial
recreation areas for nearby
Maryland residents.
In the wake of Congressional
approval of the dams, Edward
r. Keil, director of the United
States Soil Conservation Service
program in Maryland, said pre-
sent plans call for bid advertis.
ing next July.
The dams will be built north
of Rt. % (Old Baltimore Road
and are designed to relieve
flooding and erosion in a II
square mile area.
Federal share of the project
is expected to be $1.2 million
with the remainder coming
from local funds.

ROCKVILLE = st. Mary's
CYO celebrated its 10th ami
versary with the annual ath-
letic awards night in the school
auditorium on June 10.
Over $50 awards, athletic
participation patches, were pre-
sented to boys and girls of the
parish by Eugene pat" Moran
who acted as master of cere-
monies. The girls cheer-leading
squad was given special recog-
milton for winning first place
in competition with other par
ishes of the Washington arch

Henry blank" Miles, whose
1868 Richard Montgomery High
School baseball team won the
Montgomery County champion
ship, was guest speaker. Intro
duced by Moran as an outstand-
ing teacher, counselor, coach
and friend of the youth of Rock
vile for the past Is years, Miles
was presented with the st.
Mary's CYO Youth Service
Award.
This recognition, first given
to Miles, will be an annual
award presented to a local citi-
zen who has worked with the
youth of Rockville in athletics.
Miles has assisted many young
sters in gaining recognition in
the fields of athletics. Most
notable are Gordon Coleman,
Cincinnati Reds first baseman,
Bruce Mackey, Mike Curtis and
Butch Israel, current college
stars. The award was presented
primarily, however, for the hun
dreds of other youngsters who
are better citizens now for hav-
ing been in contact with Henry

spokesman said.
The evenings festivities were
concluded by the presentation
of door prizes and refreshments
served to those in attendance.

AS the supply train APP
preached it was seen to be I'M
guarded, and the troopers
pressed home the attack, caus-
ing great panic among the
Union drivers. Many Of these
attempted to turn their wagons
around, others jumped off and
rolled his prisoners and had to
assign some of his men as wag-

but fortunately (for him) gave
up that idea as impracticable.
In a ddition, the troopers
needed time to tear down the

they destroyed for several miles.
So that evening after a long

on top of the Wheaton Church
League. Dean Ludeman scat
tered three hits in winning his
seventh game of the year.

Christ the King has now lost

Weekend
Parties
Plentiful
By Cissy Finley

1t was a big one! Weekend,
that is. Saturday nights River
Road traffic resembled the
early morning weekday rush
hour, what with everyone head
ing for, or leaving behind, the
numerous cocktail and dinner
parties.
Rum and Jane Maddox host
ed dinner dance at their home,
"Pine Tops" honoring the en-
gagement of their son, Ruffin,
to Marcia McCardle, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl McCardle
of Mclean. Over $50 guests ar
rived to spend the evening, or
part of it, and partake of the
lovely buffet, smooth music and
good company, all beneath the
natural canopy of starlight. 1t
was a beautiful evening for the
college set and their more ma
ture friends.
At the same time the Maddox
party got underway, Dede and
Rex Peters were hosting a barn
warming at their home on
Travilah Road. Lots of straw
hats accompanied the barnyard
clothes guests were requested
to wear. One couple, Jerry and
Jimma Strong, carried out the
theme to the hilt, as they ar
rived on their tractor. A picnic
style supper of barbecued chick
en-, with all the trimmings, was
served to the over 100 guests,
while a strolling accordion
guitarist, entertained. One of
the cutest "barnwarming" gifts
noted was a crate of bantam
chickens brought by Kathryn
and Pres King.
Another Saturday nj g h t
party, with ball game theme
tonly without the game) was
at the Warren Elliott's Falls
Road home. Invitations resemb-
ling baseball tickets were
sent to over 100 friends inviting
them to a nine inning shutout.
There were plenty of scored
hits but no errors, and the only
"out" came when the last hot
dog was eaten before the guests
departed. This ~ on" party in
cluded in-town and country
cousins.
Helen and Branco Stupar
chose this same evening for
fund and fun raising Repub-
lican barbecue dinner at their
Harrington Drive home. This
event primarily drew in-town
guests from her Republican
Women's Club, and from the
looks of the many cars parked
up and down Harrington, it
was huge success.
And as though this wasn't
enough for one weekend, things
started moving again Sunday.

in the regions outside the Solid
South, but the Democratic Par
ty nevertheless furnished enough
members to make virtually a
two-thirds majority. Yet every
body knew that Southern con-
gressmen don't agree with the
Administrators viewpoint.
When, however, the Demo
Gratis retained their majoritieS
in both houses of Congress in
the national election in 1862, this
was hailed by Mr.. Kennedy'S
supporters as a victory for him.
Yet today - II months later
the Democratic Party has failed
to get the support Of its MAORI
ty in both houses to pass the
legislation the President h a
demanded. The conclusion that
would be drawn abroad is that
the people Of this country,

the Democratic Party's national
leader and want a change in

125 and the number of Republi-

1t is indeed a lopsided record.
About the only explanation is that
a good many campaign hopes
somehow get blown away on the
winds of oratory or brushed aside
in the press of events. Which, to
be sure, does not eXcuse such OBJ
vious partisanship.
Still, you have to concede both

people do the deciding, and
they hold the incumbent party
or its leader responsible.
Today in the United States,
however, the nation has no clear
idea of who is responsible for
the stalemate in government.
The concept of presidential lea

press is that President Kennedy

The need is ndeniable, for as Mrs.
Griswold emphasizes, Public relations
has in a short time grown to the point
where it crosses the entire fabric of our
society. It's practitioners speak to tn e

Yet, up to now policing has been
soft and fuzzy.
AS the SECS report underlined, under
the guise of public relations" smart
money men have been deliberately
spreading misinformation about their
corporation clients, b~latantly touting COM
pany stocks, unethically using inside in

recklessly bringing the whole field into
