Greater RecreationaI
Facilities Advocated
For Suburban Area

Early construction of at least IA
outdoor swimming pools, two large
field houses and additional commu-
nifty recreation and assembly build
ines in suburban Montgomery
County was recommended today by
Park Commissioner E. Brooke Lee
of the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
Mr.. Lee said he will propose to
the members of the commission at
their regular meeting September 16
that a bond issue for $4,000 be
approved. He explained that the
issue can be carried and retired in
80 years with 2 cents of the scent
recreation tax now levied on prop
erty in the suburban area.
In this manner, Commissioner Lee
added. the swimming pools would
become available without an increase
in the tax rate. The remaining s.
cent recreation tax will provide a
continuation of the summer recrea-
ton programs.
Mr.. Lee suggested the following
locations for outdoor swimming
pools: Cabin John Run Park north
of Macarthur boulevard. Little Falls
Park south of Massachusetts~ave-
nue., the new section of the Be-
thesda Chevy Chase recreation CEN
ter, the North Bethesda recreation
center (the former Ayrlawn Farms
Rock Greek Park between Jones
Bridge road and Kensington Junior
High School, Rock Creek Park east
of Rock Creek and adjacent to Lin
den, and in new park to be located
near Ken Gar. The latter two would
be for colored use.
Other swimming pool locations
are: Capitol View
East Kensington recreation center;
Takoma Park recreation center; east
end of the Silver Spring recreation
center; Sligo Valley Park between
Okinawa drive and Sligo Park golf
course; Hillandale recreation center
South Four Corners or Pinecrest
recreation center: Long Branch
Valley recreation center
Mr.. Lee further suggested that
community recreation buildings be
built from the proceeds of the bond
issue at the Woodacres recreation
center; Capitol View-East Kensing-
ton recreation center, University
View or Pleasant View recreation
center. North -Four Corners recrea-
ton center, Long Branch Valley
center and at the Takoma
Park recreation center.
The two field houses for basket
Ball and large community gather
ings should be located as near the
center of Bethesda as possible and
on a park site in or near Sligo Valley
Park. he said.
Mr. Lee said the pools would have
to charge a moderate fee to meet
operating costs,

Say that you've registered for the
draft and you've gotten your ques-
tionnaire and sent it back. OF
course. you haven't yet, but soon you
will have.
The all-important question now
is. will I be deferred as an essen
tial workers, or as married man,
or as q man supporting his mother?
Just what will defer me?
Everybody in that 19-to-25 bracket
is itching for the word on defer
ment. A few days ago august 20l
selective service came up with some
important answers.
The draft law itself makes cer-
tain blanket deferments and eXemp-
tions. 1t says. for instance, that
veterans are automatically exempt
if they served 80 days in the shoot
ing war" December 7. l94l, to Sep
tember 2. 1945). And it says that
other veterans, who didn't serve
those 30 days, are exempt If they
put in at least II months with the
armed forces between September 16,
1940 and June "A, l948 unless
Congress should declare a national
emergency.
Then it goes on to exempt "regu-
lar or duly ordained ministers Of
religion" and several other groups.
After that comes the question mark
-" The President is authorized, ,"
the law says. TO provide for the
deferment of persons whose en-
ployment in industry. agriculture
or other occupations, or whose ac-
tivities in study. research or other
endeavors is found to be necessary
to the maintenance of the national
health, safety or interest"
1t adds that the President may
also defer men with dependents.
The President said on August 20
that the following definitely will be
deferred: /. Any registrant who has
a dependent. z. Farm workers. or

considered necessary to the ma
tional health, safety or interest. In
other words. just like the part of
the law quoted above. The differ
ence is, the law says the President
is authorized" The new regula-
ton says that he actually has gone
ahead and done it.
A dependent. says selective serv-
ice. is any of the following: A wife,
a divorced wife. child parent. a
grandparent, brother or sister:
almost any person who depends for
his living on the registrant.
That does not mean for a second
that all brothers and sisters, or all
mothers ard fathers are automatic
ally dependents. 1t just means that
brother and 8 sister and mother
and father may be a dependent
if, in fact, that person depends for
his or her living on the registrant.
oOot tAiAihAAS dDOut ~ hldhCS ~
clear that any married registrant is
going to be deferred. Because al
most every wife I know depends to
a certain extent for her bread and
butter on her husband, but that
would not necessarily be true of
any brother and sister or mother
and father.
No doubt registrants seeking de-
ferment for dependency reasons will
have to give conclusive proof that
the dependent" really is dependent
There are going to be constant
changes in the deferment regula-
tions. For example, farmers are
now deferred. But if the man
power shortage starts pinching too
hard, selective service may have to
draft some farmers. In that case,
the regulations will change.
It's going to take time for the

patience. It will, as soon as space
allows.
