City Civic Center Favored
In Early Returns in Survey

Early results in the commu-
nifty center survey being made by
the Rockville Junior Women's
Club, with the aid of other COM
munity organizations, indicate
that rs percent of Rockville resi-
dents want a community center.
High on the list of facilities
wanted in the proposed center
are a teen-age lounge and snack
bar, and an auditorium. A picnic
area and tennis courts head the
list of desired outdoor accom-.
modations.
Mrs. Richard Nearman, chair
man of the survey committee,
emphasized that these findings
are based on a small sample.
The survey, in which every city
household will be questioned,
will be completed Monday, and
the results tabulated next week.
Among the suggested facilities
named in the QUESTIONABLE are
an auditorium, stage, kitchen,
game and meeting rooms, teen
age lounge, swimming pool, read
ing and music rooms, picnic
ground, courses for miniature
golf and tennis and a parking
lot.
Citizens are being asked to
ia b. k these items in order of pre-
fe ence, after stating whether
they want a community center
at all.
The QUESTIONABLE then asks
where the center should be
located and how much it should
cost, explaining how centers of
various prices, would effect their
tax, payments. ~ ~, '

Forced DC Flight Brings Added CD Burden
Cap in Wheaton s Teen-dger
Fun Plan Filled BY County

Beginning this Sunday, the
County Recreation Department
will sponsor a weekly club for
Wheaton teen-agers at the Whea-
ton Recreation Center, according
to Recreation Director Forest
Gustafson.
The club will meet from 1:30
to 5 pm. every Sunday, under
the guidance of Dick Davis, rec
reation department group leader.
Basketball, volleyball, badmin-
ton, touch football, table tennis
and dancing will be available to
the youngsters this Sunday.
Clinton Sisson, president of
Wheaton's newly-formed inter.
club council, says his group will
provide a husband-and-wife team
to help Mr.. Davis get the teen
club rolling Sunday.
The inter-club council, made
up of representatives of all of
Wheaton's service clubs, has been
working to find a replacement
for the short-lived Candyland
teen club. The council asked Mr..
Gustafson last week to try to
work out a plan for using the
Wheaton or Glenmont recreation
centers as meeting places.
Commenting on the new recrea-
ton department plan, Mr.. Sisson
said, 81 think this ought to meet
the needs of our teen-agers. But
the council isn't going to accept
Jsis as a cure-all until we see how
it works out"
Mr.. Sisson, Mr.. Gustafson and
the other members of the inter-
club council will meet again
Monday evening to decide what
equipment is needed for the teen.
ayers in the recreation center.
The council has promised to help
provide equipment and materials.
A schedule of service club mem
bers and their wives to be pre-
sent at each Sundays session of
the teen club will also be set up
at Mondays meeting, Mr.. Sisson
said. Various clubs will be re-
sponsible for providing adult
assistance at each meeting.

MOVE TO REPEAL up COUNTY ZONE LAW
Dramatic Council Meet
Clears Decks for New
Permanent Land Plan

The way has been paved
for repeal of the temporary
zoning ordinance for upper
Montgomery County, passed
in November, 1854 but not
yet in effect, and an amended
version under consideration
since July.
At a drama-packed, past
midnight meeting early yes
terday, following a public
hearing on up-county zoning,
the County Council voted 4-3
to hire planner Irving C. Root
and to instruct him to "pre-
pare a comprehensive zoning
plan and a permanent coming
ordinance" within 60 days.
The permanent measure will
"set forth commercial, industrial,
and residential zones and such
residential zone shall provide for
minimum lot size of one-half acre
except in areas where public wat
er and/or sewer facilities are
available and such other mini
mum residential lot sizes as the
Upper Montgomery County Plan
ming Commission shall determine
in the various areas in the public
interest"
In addition to Charles Jami-
son, who introduced the resolu-
ton, in favor were Wilbur Baugh-
man, Jerry Williams, and Robert
Snure. Opposed were J. G. Walk
er, Grover Walker, and Mrs. Stel-
la Werner.
The Councils new orders con
flict with the ordinance already
passed and the amended version.
The original measure sets forth
six zones, agriculture, country
home, rural residential, residen-
tial, commercial, and industrial,
with 10 acre minimum lot size
in the agriculture zone and most
of the up-County placed in this
large-lot zone. The revised ordi-
nance has five zones, eliminating
rural residential, but seeks only
five acre minimum lot size for
the agriculture zone.
Again most Of the up-County
land is placed in the agriculture
zone.
Asked for an opinion, County
Attorney Charles M. Trelan says
the Councils orders to Mr.. Root
are not actually i'm conflict with
the ordinance under consideration.
"Mr. Root is drafting a perma-
nent ordinance. We have been
considering temporary mea-
sure" He advised, however, that
some treatment" must be made
before the temporary coming ordi-
nance is scheduled to take effect
Nov. /.
| No action on the old coming
rules can be taken until next
Friday because Council president
J. G. Walker left the record open
for ten days after the Tuesday
night public hearing.
Mr.. Baughman, Mr. Williams,
and Mr.. Jamson indicate they
will vote against the old coming
ordinance; Mrs. Werner and the
two Walkers are strongly in favor
of the five.Zone measure. Pivotal
member Snure says he will not
make up his mind, until I've read
the record"

Montgomery County's Civil

am against undue and unwar-
ranted authority in anyone's
hands. But if it is needed for
those who don't heed the
warnings, then some kind of

necessary"
Mr.. Hartwig says he will await
reaction to the Washington an
nouncement before making rec
concentrations for similar moves
in Montgomery County. He
believes that if a CD GEAR" is
named for the area it will be
John L. Sullivan, present Federal
Civil Defense Director for Region

pRegion II includes Maryland,
Virginia, D. c., Kentucky West
Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and

Prior to the announcement of
the National Security Council
decision to make Wasingtonians
evacuate whether they want to
or not, the plan had been to
evacuate the President and other
officials on the yellow Alert"
which would not be made public.
On the Red Alert" the sirens
would sound and individuals
could make their own decisions
whether or not to evacuate. Now
everyone must get out on the
yellow Alert.
Mr.. Hartwig feels that Mont
gomery County Civil Defense
plans have always been based
on the assumption that Washing.
ton would be evacuated 100 per.
cent. Federal officials have an
nounced that Montgomery Coun.
tvs proposed q evacuation lanes
must remove 100000 from the
threatened city. The Deputy Di-
ector says mandatory evacuation
makes the 100000 figure "a more
accurate appraisal of the actual
load.
Last week Hartwig announced
that $360,0Q0 is needed to remove
"bottlenecks" on county evacua.
ton lanes. Removal of the road
problems would increase from IS
to Fl the county's evacuation
lanes. Hartwig says each lane
can carry 1000 cars per hour.
If each car contains five people,
the county could evacuate 100000
people per hour.
The Air Force, says Hartwig,
is making no promises on adj
vanced warning.

ton will mean that residents of
