Construction of the proposed
Twinbrook swimming pool was
assured after a final tally at the
May % Citizens Association re-
vealed that 800 of the required
400 minimum life membership
pledges had been signed.
At this meeting CA president
Leighton Dudley, hoarse from his
weekend pep talks before more
than Is neighborhood block
parties, said that there was no
question that 1--WE will go ahead
with the pool"
After an enthusiastic group of
swimming pool committee mem
bers and area and block chairmen
heard Mr.. Dudley launch the drive
on May Is, block chairmen spent
the next several days holding
friendly get-togethers for the pur-
pose of disseminating information
on the pool and collecting indi
vidual pledges.
Thrilled by the scale drawing of
the proposed pool and facilities
reproduced on front page of last
weeks SENTINEL), and drawn,
incidentally by William Koch of
Bradley Ave, and the Handicapped
entrance and parking lot prospec-
tus executed by Robert Mcqueen
ey of Wainwright Ave, residents
from all parts of Twinbrook,
Rockland and Brentwood Manor
flocked to the May % Citizens
Association meeting to sign
pledges and arrange financing.
Mr.. Dudley and the members of
his swimming pool steering COM
mittee expressed themselves de-
lighted and encouraged by the i'm
mediate and heartwarming re-
Spouse accorded the four-page
brochure which was delivered to
each home in the area last week.
In addition to arousing interest
in the swimming pool, many OF
those in attendance at the block
parties commented on the won
derful way in which the affairs
served to acquaint people in the
same community. Following is
partial list of the hosts and host
esses: Mrs. Adolf LANCE, John
Moore, Robert Monroe, Mrs. Cor

Construction on a So million

tential of 10000 people. The Euro
pean-type plaza design was in
spired by Mr.. Geerearts expert,
ence in Europe as a builder, archi-
tect and engineer.
Some of the features will in
clude wide sidewalks extending
the full length of the plaza, no
traffic within the shopping area,
Handicapped malls and patios, and
a series of shopping courts pro
tected from the weather. Plans
call for a driven bank, a food

cialty shops taking over remain

Mr.. Geereart commented that
his two proposed developments,
TWinbrook Park and Meadow
Hall, containing over 700 homes,
will bring our community to what
he believes will be the largest
single community in Montgomery
County.
A great part of the magnificent
organization job behind the big
Rockville Memorial Day parade
has been masterminded by Jerrold
Ullman of LeMay Road, who was
recently elected the new head of
the Smith-Henderson Post of the
American Legion.
Mr.. Ullman is serving as one of
the grand marshals of the parade
and Mrs. Douglas Rosignol, pres
ident of the Posts Women's Aux
iliary, who by coincidence lives
across the street from the Ull-
mans, will head up the Auxiliary's
marching unit.
Don't forget-May 30, 3 pm,

NEW AUTOMOBILES IN
NINETY DAYS

Word from the automobile in
dustry is that new models will
be introduced by many of the
manufacturers within ninety DAYS.
mat means new cars will begin to
hit the market in October.
Automobile producers, despite a
tremendous sale this year, are
attempting to get their new-car
lntroductionS back on the sched-
ule they were on several wears
ago. Producers feel that the best
time to change models is in the
fall and this year the change will
take place according to that
theory.
Introduction of new models
early this year means that auto
mobile sales are likely TO sp1rt
IN the last few months of the
year. This, and the fact that au-
tomobile sales so far have already
passed the 1000, OO0-mark. indi-

SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION
AID NEARER

The House Education and La
Dor Committee recently voted
zig to aid school construction &c
the tune of $1,000, OOO, 900. This
was the first time that Committee
had ever approved a school con-
Struction bill.
Chances that the bill will get
to the Senate during this session
are not particularly good, since
this session is now in its closing
stages. However, since this is the
first session of the Eighty-Fourth
Congress, the bill-if it is ap-
proved by the House - can be
agreed upon by the Senate at
any time during the Eighty-Fourth
Congress, which includes all of
the calendar year 1856.
For many years Federal school
aid has been blocked in Congress.
This has been a tragedy for MANY
youngsters in the poorer sections
of the nation, and in areas where

were surprised at the profits and
costs questions of the Russians.
This aspect of farming opera
tons in the United States was ap-
parently more interesting to the
Russians than any other phase.
The Russians constantly asked
American farmers, or those con-
Quoting their tour, what the cost
OF the production, per acre of
corn was, or what the profit in
the sale of hogs was, or other
questions about profit and loss
They were also interested in the
taxes paid and in the methods
used to purchase farm machinerv
The profit motive, then. still
seems to be the predominant mo-
tive among farmers as If ic
among most business men De-
spite all the Communist theory
the Russian farmers have been
fed in recent decades, they still
r interested in profits and what
they can make on the farm. This
might be the answer to the cues
ton why the Russians do not
produce as much, per acre, as our
farmers do in the United States.
1t seems strange that the Rus
sian farmers would come to this
country and supply the answer
