SAM FERGUSON Community Reporter Farmers on Fines Creek are still very busy tr> ing to take care of their summer crops, cutting to bacco, tilling silos, digging pota toes, and so on. The ones who have made cane will soon be making molasses ? certainly a lot of work to be done. Women are canning more at the cannery this year than ever before; and I suppose the ones who can at home are doing the same, as this has been such a wonderful season to grow food and fruits.

Socialites Plan Gala Ball For Sporting Event By JANE EABS WASHINGTON ?: Now that the politicians are off slumping the countryside, local socialites are linking themselves with the sports world in their first big wingding of the fall season. They are deep In plans for a gala bjll to be held on the eve of the colorful President's Cup Regat ta opening Sept. 15. Often called "the world's series of speedboat racing," the three-day program is expected to draw more than 100, 000 spectators. President Eisen hower has accepted an invitation to present the $50,000 solid gold trophy, first ottered in competition 30 years ago when Calvin Coolidge was president. Climax of the social will come when the queen of the regatta will be introduced with her court of eight princesses, drawn from offi cial. diplomatic and residential capital families. Among the royal 1 court will be Susan Hull, daughter of Rep. William R. Hull, Jr.. (D Mo) and debutante Frances Snow den Hill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Hill. Frances, who enters Vassal* this year, is a descendant of Lord Bal timore. Her sister, Daviette, was a royal regatta princess in 1951, Her father is a former president of the district of Columbia Bar Assn. and a member of the exclusive Society of the Cincinnati. An interesting highlight of the ball will be the mingling of inter national waters as a gesture of world friendship. Diplomats, sen ators of the 48 states and governors of the territories invited to at tend the regatta and to participate in the opening International Day program, have been asked to send containers of waters from their best known river, lake or sea. A portion of the blended waters will then be dropped into the Potomac. A waggish member of the regat ta committee was tempted to re mark: "We then will be able to eliminate the Potomac's polution by dilution." Plans are also under way to en close a sample of the mingled Wat ers in a plastic sphere to be sent to the United Nations headquarters in New York.
