Job

If Rockville doesn't have a
new look" by the end of next
week it won't be the fault of
the city's Junior Chamber of
Commerce.
Rockville's young businessmen
served notice this week that they
are going to put on an about
campaign to capture the magma
ton and cooperation of the city's
businessmen and residents.
The idea? ITO induce the
citizens of Rockville to clean up
their residences and places of
business and make it a better
place in which to live and work
The drive, which will take
place from Apr. 1870, has the
fervent blessings of the city's
Mayor and Council.
The Jaycees have sent letters
asking cooperation to every
nome owner. Ana as proof OF
their own willingness to do job,
the Jaycees will have a litter
bug" parade up and down the
streets on Apr.23. Nor is that
all.
The group will paint a COM
mercial building on the main
street to set a before and after"
example to the city. 1t will also
tackle the job of cleaning up the
town lot between the Acme and
Safeway stores.
In a final burst of zeal, the
will drive through the residen.

Fire Fight
Flares Up
In County

An issue all decked out in fire
engine red was headed in the d.
rection of the County Council
this week when the Wheaton
Chamber of Commerce demand
ed that the Council start a sur
vey of fire protection.
The Wheaton resolution sug-
gests that the Council invite the
National Board of Fire Under.
writer's to make the appraisal.
Background of the Wheaton re-
quest lies in the controversy that
has been raging for some time
relative to the economy and cf-
ficiency of operations of the Ken
sington Volunteer Fire Depart
ment which supplies protection
to the Wheaton, lenmont area.
Proponent of the resolution
was Philip Marcus of the Glen
mont Citizens association, one of
the early critics of the Kensing-
ton Department. He charged
that the County Council had ig-
nored an earlier request of the
Wheaton Chamber to make a
survey of the Kensington Fire
District.
Marcus added that no "recog-
nized body" had made an ap-
praisal of the efficiency and

Asks New
By Council

Plans for the further growth
of Rockville were laid before the
City's Mayor and Council Tues
day night when Joseph Geeraert,
builder and developer, served no.
tice of his intention to petition
for the annexation of 155 acres
of the former Bulls property.
This petition is in addition to
the one now pending before the
City asking for the annexation
of 100 acres north of the Bulls
tract.
Mr.. Geereart also said that he
would ask that an area of 1900
feet by ITS feet be re-zoned COM
mercial to make possible a new
shopping center which would be
opposite the proposed Atlantic
Ave. center.
With the importance of the
City's water supply accentuated
by the growth of the town and
lower water levels in the area,
Mayor D. Y. Hovsepian told the
Sentinel that the City will seek
an appointment with the Wash

mission "in the near future" Sub

In an apparent attempt to build
public support for the move, the
group distributed leaflets on the
streets of Rockville on Friday and
Saturday last week.
Mrs. Leo B. Orbach, local chair
man of the Unity committee, re-
ported that the public response
she and her group met in the
course of the leaflet distribution
was encouraging"
She indicated that the group
had expected to find some un.
favorable comment from citizens
who read the leaflet but that
nothing of this nature took
place. On the contrary, she said,
about II persons had indicated
their willingness to work with
the committee.
While local merchants were
not making statements for pub

on the other hand, contends that
the merchants have not correctly
judged local sentiment.

Made on Plan
For Air Raid

Washington l. Cleveland, chair
man of the metropolitan area Civil
Defense Dispersal Committee, this
week announced that the District

GUS evacuation proposals ready

Mr.. Cleveland emphasized that
the plans of each area would
necessarily differ in some mate
rial respects due to varying
geographical conditions, road
nets and concentrations of popu-
lation.
"When these plans are an.
nounced," Mr.. Cleveland said,
"the public should keep in mind
that the principal differences
are due to different conditions
rather than to differences in
concepts by various defense
authorities. This is extremely
important so that the people in
each geographical area will be
cognizant of the requirement of
their own situation"
Mr.. Cleveland said that the
Maryland plan would not be an
nounced until some time after
the announcement of the Dis
trict of Columbia plan, since
many of the Maryland require
ments depend largely upon the
final form of the District of Co.
lumbia plan.
