Every city which is undergoing
period of expansion suffers in
greater or less degree from grow
ing pains. The sharpness of the
pangs bear a direct relationship to
the rate at which the community
grows. Rockville is no exception
and the rate of growth here has
been so rapid that the bursting
at the seams" point is upon us.
Those who observed the meta
morphosis of the 17-year locusts
during our plague of last summer
have seen case in point. The drab
brown grubs made their painful but
purposeful way up through. the
ground and up tree trunks to the
spot where the great change would
take place. There, with a convul-
sive movement, split appeared in
the back of the grub. Out through
this split, with many struggles,
came the brilliantly colored cicada,
which soon became much larger
than the shell from which it had
emerged and became in it's way
thing of beauty, or at least whole
creature prepared to fulfill it's life's'
mission. But there is another pic
ture that observers also have seen.
Some of these grubs, try as they
would, could not split the skin that
held them prisoner. There was no
turning backward. They could not
again descend into the ground,
there to sleep for another seventeen
years. Instead they struggled and
died and fell to the ground, there
to be passed by still other grubs on
the way to the goal they could not
achieve.
The time for growth is upon US.
If we do not meet the challenge,
others will!
The population of Rockville has
increased by about 5000 in the last
ten years. The business community
did not increase in size with the
steady year-to-year growth that
would have matched the residential
increase. Now, however, business
expansion is here and making up
for lost time. New and modern
buildings are housing new business
firms. Since the existing business
streets are built up, the expansion
must come outward from that CEN

Mrs. Keller flew to Ohio for the
ceremony, and DR.. Keller drove out.
They returned by automobile.
Since they had to get back to

the coming summer for this.
They have no immediate plans
for the future, although DR.. Keller
is studying most nights at the Lii

thing published.
The students and faculty of
Richard Montgomery join together
in wishing DR.. and Mrs. Keller
much happiness throughout the
coming years.

Rockville Snow
Crews Had A
VANISHED Job

Earning overtime the hard way
were the Is men on Rockville's
snow removal crews who turned
out recently to combat the ele-
ments. They began working on the
streets last Sunday night soon af-
ter the snow began to fall. They
continued working without let
up until o'clock Monday after
noon. Work recommended for them
at a am. Tuesday and continued
until 5 pm. Tuesday afternoon.
About 200 tons of sand mixed
with four tons of calcium chloride
were scattered on Rockville streets
during the recent snow according
to Elmer Hutchinson who directed
one of two gangs of workers. Ed
ward Henley was boss of the Sec
ond crew.
Three snow plows were run al
most continuously. Two were
mounted on trucks, the third on
a road grader, Mr.. Hutchinson said.

Belated congratulations to Dick
Disney for being chosen on the all
state football team. Dick played a
whale of a game on defense for
the Rockets this season, operating
as linebacker. In the Gathers
burg game, he was the bulwark of
the Rockets defense crashing in to
make tackle after tackle. Dick has
lettered three years and this year
was co-captain of the football team.
Many of the stars of former
years were present for the annual
Alumni game. Although the alumni
won by one point, the former
greats seemed to be bit out of
condition. Among the famous
alumni were Gordon Coleman,
former sports star and three-letter
man; Bob Crawford, ex-president
of Student Government, class of
80; Barry Pifer, ex-vice-president
of Student Government; Joe Kelly,
three-letter man, class of '53. 1t
was good to see the boys again.
Due to the interference of Junior
High basketball the R.M.H.S. Bowl

The Junior Varsity avenged an
earlier loss to Damascus when they
eked out a 1886 triumph at Da-
mascus. This victory gives the
J.V. 1-3 record.

RBT THE TRADERS HORN

ter. 1t is important, however, that
the present downtown area remain
the center of business. Unless that
area matches the development in
the expanded areas, through mod
ernization and refurbishing of
some of it's business establishments,
growth can result in decentraliza-
ton and this in turn can adversely
affect the present downtown bust
ness district of Rockville.
Our merchants have long prided
themselves on the personalized
service accorded customers. This is
fine and represents a carry-over
from the days when Rockville was
just a small town.. 1t is now the
most rapidly growing community
in Maryland, but friendly, person
allied attention to customers is just
as good a public relations factor
now as it was then. New custom
ers who shop in Rockville recognize
this service as something unique,
but before they can experience it,
they must be attracted into the
stores which will give them that
type of service. Refurbishing from
floor to ceiling, wall to wall, and
back door to show window is
needed in some stores. Some of our
merchants have already recognized
this and have done something about
it. Others plan to.
Some merchants who would like
to re-decorate or put in new light
ing or replace their existing win
dows with up-to-the-minute store
fronts hesitate to do so because
they do not own the buildings in
which their businesses are located.
We believe, however, that a meet
ing of minds between merchants
and property owners who recognize
that the individual will prosper as
the whole business area prospers
would do much to make possible the
complete modernization of our ex-
isting business area and to keep
our residents and visitors shopping
in our downtown section instead of
going out of town.
The Executive Director of the
Rockville Board of Trade will be
happy to devote time and effort
to assist both businessmen and
property owners in any effort to
achieve this objective.

ton to what can be done in the
