Modern Outdoor Theater
To Be Constructed In
Rock Creek Park

Construction of modern $780,
900 outdoor theatre in Rock Creek
Park is the aim of officials of the
National Capital Sesquicentennial
Commission.
1t Is planned as a major monu-
ment of the Sesquicentennial which
will stand long after next years
l50th birthday celebration for the
city. National Capital Parks off
Gals are cooperating in the pro-
gram.
The natural ampitheatre is on
the east side of Rock Creek Park,
between Colorado Avenue and
Morrow Drive, N. W., just west of
Sixteenth Street. 1t is a heavily
wooded area. The site is directly
south of the recreation area, few
hundred yards into the woods. I'm
der the tentative plans, a new
highway would be built into the
area at the south.
1t is estimated the amphitheatre
would accommodate 1900 TO 5000
permanent seats, with provisions
to care for. overflow crowds by

Purchase OF Two
School Sites In
County Approved

At it's regular meeting last week,
the Montgomery County Board of
Education authorized the purchase
of seven-acre plot of ground just
south of the East-West Highway
and west of Grub Road in Chevy
Chase. An elementary school even
tually will be located at the new
site. The Board also approved the
purchase of land for the Emory
Grove School for Negroes. Bids for
the building will be received ON
April 22nd.
1t was announced at the meeting
that the official civilizations of the
Bethesda Chevy Chase, Richard
Montgomery and Gaithersburg
High Schools have been received.
Except in the matter of plant and
library facilities, all of these high
schools, it was reported, ranked
within the country's upper fifteen
per cent.
A report on instrumental music
in the schools was made by Chester
Petranek, music teacher in the
county. Mr.. Petranek is also the
director of the Montgomery Sym
phony Orchestra. He traced the de-
velopment of instrumental music
in the county schools. In 1916, he
said, there was only one full-time
teacher and fewer than 200 pupils
who took advantage of his instruc-
ton. Now there. are three full-time
and three part-time teachers and
1900 students. Instrumental music
is taught in practically all the
schools of the county, and there is
greatly increased parental inter-
est as shown by their purchase of
about hundred thousand dollars
worth of band and orchestra in
struments.
During the past year the Mont
gomery Symphony Orchestra, COM
posed mainly of adults, has given
three concerts. Another concert is
to be given in June with Florence
Wang, Chinese pianist, as soloist.

ty, Roscoe has very natural pro-
fessional interest in the speedy
completion of the cattle, horse,
swine and sheep pavilion; the live
stock sales area and horse show
ring; along with the numerous
stock pens, space for exhibits per-
tanning to horticulture, home eco
Monies and related agricultural
sciences. AS an active, normal citi-
zen Roscoe has a further interest
in the development of the projects
lake for boating, swimming and
fishing, together with ten acres of
wooded picnic area including bath
house, fire places and tables, horse
shoe pits, badminton courts, skat-
ing rink, basketball court and soft
ball field.
ITO make sure this is not just
a dream that comes to Roscoe when
he draws on his corn-cob pipe, you
might follow U. S. route 240 to
Gaithersburg, Maryland and turn
south on Chestnut Street to Ward
Crossing at the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad tracks. Instead of cross
ing the tracks, turn sharp right
and follow your nose right into the
ga acre tract which has been ac-
quired by interested local farmers
to engage in educational and dem
onstrational activities regarding
conservation end recreation.
