NAL authorization to endorse the
idea. There was unanimous agree
ment on the necessity and import
ance of a well-planned program
including conveniently placed
building and professional leader
ship. The intensive and enthus-
iastic discussion ranged from a
long range plan looking toward a
complete Community Center build
ing and recreation grounds, to an
immediate program in rented
building.
1t was agreed that it should be
the concern of all citizens and cit
liens groups, and that no one or
ganization could or should attempt
to do it alone. Among the aspects
of the problem discussed were: the
lack of suitable commercial or
public recreation, causing the youth
of Rockville to go to Bethesda,
Silver Spring and Gaithersburg /;
the value of early consultation
with the young people individual
ly and through their organizations; ;
the general sense of uncertainty
and insecurity shared by adults and
youth; the coordination of the CITY,
financed summer recreation pro-
gram with continuing and year
round program; multiple uses of
community center building by
various age groups; possible avail
ability of some unoccupied build
ings in Rockville.

adopted to the effect that in the
light of the action of member or

Council
Opposes
Beer Bill
Acckeek Man Appointed
Associate Engineer In
Dept. of Public Works

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil, at it's meeting on Tuesday, was
warned that passage of two bills
now pending in the Maryland Gem
eral Assembly to abolish the Mont

public hearing on the bills at Anna
polls later in the week. She also
is slated to represent the Council
at hearings on bills abolishing the
Maryland-National Capital Park

Gil voted to uphold Manager Irving
G. McNayr in his ruling that there
was nothing improper in the pur-
chase of the Chapman property in
Kensington for a dog pound. Resi-
dents, represented by Attorney
James H. Pugh, contended that
Forest Chapman, an employee Of
the county and one of the heirs,
would benefit by sale of land to the
county in violation of the charter.
Mr.. McNayr and the Council held
that the land was sold by the Cir
cult Court through a trustee,
Frank r. Long. Thus, Mr.. Chap
mans profit resulted from court
action only.

worked as much as a year and a
half on social security-covered jobs.
These can get benefits if their earn
