LEADERSHIP OF FORMER
ACCOMACK WOMAN
In a recent issue of “The Ken-'
wood Magazine,” published by The
Kenwood Golf & Country Club, Beth
■ osda, Md., there is an article prais-1
I ing the leadership of Mrs. Joseph
i L- Brown, nre Miss Maud Wescott,
i formerly of this county now of
| Washington, L). C. The article is en
titled “Dainty Divot Diggers” and
i was written by Mrs. Roy C. Miller.
I It is as follows:
"July has witnessed the finishing
J of the team matches of the District
of Columbia Women’s Golf Associa
tion. Kenwood's first team finished
in fourth place and the second team
finished in third place. There were
ten clubs competing for the first
team cup and eight teams in the race
for the second team trophy. Chevy
Chase Club was the winner of the
first team cup and Beaver Dam won i
the second team cup which was held
this past year by the Kenwood sec
ond team who won it in 1!)33.
"With eight players on a team
placed according to handicaps twelve
points are allowed for each match, j
One point for 1st nine holes, one
point for 2nd nine holes, one for
eighteen holes. Other points are
won or lost by the individual players
in match play. Out of the seven
matches Kenwood’s second team won
every match but one with the follow
ing scores: i
vvooumont i‘2
i\ai»uuu i v j v>.
at Woodmont.
Kenwood 7 vs. Washington 5 at
Kenwood.
Kenwood 10 vs. Manor 2 at Wash
ington.
Kenwood 6H- vs. Beaver Dam 5
at Army and Navy.
Kenwood 8 vs. Indian Spring 4 at
Beaver Dam.
Kenwood o'i vs. Columbia 6*2 at
Columbia.
Kenwood 9 vs. Army and Navy 3
at Indian Spring.
“Splendid leadership is required to
bring a team through a season with
such a successful record and the sec
ond team captain, Mrs. Joseph L.
Brown, ably demonstrated this. Mrs.
Brown was born in Accomack Coun
ty, Virginia. After graduating from
hig school she was graduated from
the Harrisonburg State Normal and
completed her scholastic education at
Columbia University. She taught for
seven yearse as demonstration teach
ed of grade one at the Peabody In
stitute in Nashville, Tenn. Fourteen
years ago she came to Washington
as a bride. Kenwood is very for
tunate in having such an accomplish
ed captain. The amount of time re
quired, the many telephone calls, the
transportation problem, the diplom
acy all are a real task. If you don’t
think so, try to line up eight golf
ers, arrange their transportation and
have them on time, then multiply
this by seven and you will realize
that there is work as well as play
connected with team matches. In all
fourteen players served on the sec
ond team.
“Kenwood is appreciative of the
work done this year by Mrs. E. A.
Rule, captain of the first team, and
Mrs. J. L. Brown captain of the sec
ond team, and we thank them as well
as the individual players for the
splendid work accomplished. We
hope to brins' the cup back next year
to grace again the space now va
cant.” I

H. U. Hearne, President of the

of Commerce, has been advised by
the C. & P. Telephone Co. that in
line with the practice of the com
pany they are to improve the ser
vice at Onancock and vicinity by
installing what is known as com
mon battery service. This means that
those subscribers on individual and

quired to lift the receiver to sig

Toys are said to be the children’s
tools and anyway Junior says that a
tin trumpet is an excellent tool
with which to wake up Grandma
and keep her from sleeping too
much.
They used to complain about the
noise the children made with their
Christmas drums, but it would sound
good now compared with the noise
made by some of the jazz bands.
