NeedyAre Estimated

Silver Spring will require 1000
parking spaces in its business area
for off street parking if provisions
of the public parking law authorized
in this area are to be followed,
Sterling r. Maddox, county engi-
neer. and Irwin I. Kaplan, chief
engineer Of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion, have estimated.
Mr. Maddox and Mr.. Kaplan were
assigned 10 make survey of pro-
posed parking lots and community
parking needs in the Silver Spring
business district last June after the
General Assembly had authorized
lots to be purchased in the section
through bond issue for this pur-
pose. The bonds are to be paid of
by tax on business property.

per cent of these parking spaces, or
1890, should be located in the por-
ton Of the Silver Spring business
district north of the B. g. o. Rail-
road and 20 per cent south of the
railroad. 1t recommended that the
remaining 10 per cent be unallocated
until it was apparent where the
spaces are most needed.

scheduled to sell at 1896 retail,
all conform to ceiling price regu-
lations of the ONCE of Price Admin

excess of production under an
other OPA regulation-the max
imum average price rule"
The paper goes on to say that
under the maximum average price
rule a manufacturer must, in effect,
make and sell as many low-priced
shirts today as he did in 1913 before
he can sell his higher-priced line
and that manufacturers assert they
are unable to obtain low-priced
fabrics in SUFFICIENT amount to pro-
duce enough cheaper priced shirts
to allow them to sell their better

Expert Proposes
w
Play Center at
Church
Dr.. WoIter Opposes
Regimentotion Of
Community Youth

Falls Church residents last night
heard an expert on recreation urge
construction of 500, 900 to soc, 0O0
building to house all community ac-
tivities.
The meeting was an outgrowth OF
the recent discussion of a curfew law
for children under IA In Falls
Church.
The speaker was DR.. Hugo W.
Wolter of Arlington, manager of
Recreation Consultants and Eastern
representative for the Potomac En-
cheering Corp. recreation service
department.
DR.. Wolter told the group that
events in Germany, Italy and Japan
demonstrate the fallacy of trying to
control children by rigid discipline.
Working together as a group is the
only solution of the child delin-
quency problem" he said.
Recreation Is Big Business.
The speaker said recreation In
this country is big business and that
81 out of every $40 is spent on some
form of recreation. He asserted
there is no reason why a group of
citizens in the Falls Church area
cannot form group to finance and
construct a community recreation
center. Such center properly
financed and operated, he said,
would pay for itself in a short time
and would provide funds for other
purposes such as the sponsorship of
a girls camp.
DR.. Wolter outlined the following
steps which he deems necessary to
get such a project under way:
l. Call meeting of the adults of
the community and the young peo-
pie to discuss the project.
2, Survey the community to as
certain and analyze the needs.
Community Support.
3. Get the support of the COM
munity.
4. Initiate a campaign to raise the
necessary money.
AS alternatives to raising funds
privately or having the town float
a bond issue, DR.. Wolter suggested
that the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. might purchase debentures on
such self liquidating projects, or
loan money up to one-haf the cost
OF the project at interest rates of
from one-half of per cent to 6
per cent.
Stadium Impractical.
Dr. Wolter said stadiums or out
door swimming pools were not prac-
tical for community recreation
projects. He also stressed that a
recreation building should be care
fully planned and should have null
tiple use facilities.
Such building, he declared,
should contain bowling alley, stage.
and auditorium, reaesing room and
gymnasium and space~sfors SShesl
WOES Of games. 1t could be located

MEDIATE the uilding or it could have
