County
Motel Will
Begin Soon

Milton and David Isen, veteran
builders, say they will break
ground for a tWo-story, 60-unit
modern motel on the southeast
corner of the Route 118-National
Pike interchange in Germantown
within two weeks. The new
motel will be across the pike
from the new Atomic Energy
mission headquarters
building.
David Isen says the motel, as
yet unnamed, will occupy about
20 acres of the former 200-acre
Fred Forte farm. The entrance
to the motel will be on Route 118
about 1000 feet from its intersec-
ton with the new pike.
The project will include a swim
ming pool, restaurant and minia-
ture golf course, says the Isens.
The balconied motel will be
clearbly visible from the express
way, they say, because of tall
center pylon. The builders hope
to have the motel open "long be-
fore the Acc opens in the fell
of 1857.
David Isen states, "Our motel
will not only take care of the
transient travellers, but also the
many visitors who will have
business with the Acc. l think
the traffic to that building will be
something equal to that to the
Pentagon."
The Isens have been building in
the area since 1888. Among
their projects are Burnt Mills
Estates, American University
Park and parts of Langley Park.
They have also done building in
Miami and Miami Beach, Fla.

To Build Here
By PTA Unit

The MONTGOMERY County Coun-
Gil of Parent-Teacher Associa-
tons this week urged the Poto.
mac Electric Power Company to
locate its proposed 100 million
dollar steam generating plant in

pears appropriate to construct the
new plant in the Potomac River
area above Washington"
PEPCO has an option to buy
$40 acres in Loudoun County, Va,
for the new plant.
The PTA Council sent letters to
State and local officials stating,
eff all other factors show the
wisdom of constructing the pro
posed plant in this area it would
be appropriate for the executive
and legislative authorities OF
Montgomery County and the
State of Maryland to take such
action as they properly may to
end that it (the planD should be
situated in Maryland and Mont
gomery County"
The letters were sent to Gov
ernor Theodore r. McKeldin
Senators j. Glenn Beall and John
Marshall Butler, Representative
Dewitt S. Hyde and members OF
the County Council.
Power company officials say

will be used in Maryland. Elk,

tax payment as between $750,0OC
and one million dollars.

Montgome1y;s Secret Children
No,U Aided BY Special Programs
By Dorothy B. WaleSki
Staff Reporter

Ellen is learning to read. She
takes great pride in pronouncing
her new words and understand
ing their meaning. She is de-
lighted when she can follow sim
pie directions that she has read.
Her drawings are neat and
bright with red apples, blue sky
and green grass. Her printing
is not even, but it marches in a
straight line across the page.
Ellen loves school, adores her
teacher and enjoys playing with
her classmates. When leased, she
responds with her own brand of
teasing arising from a pleasant
sense of humor.
Her only problem is number
work, with which she is just be-
ginning to tangle. But she is
certain that she will soon be able
to understand what her teacher
and mother are so patiently ex-
planning.
This is a picture of a well-ad-
justed seven-year old. But seven
is Ellen's mental age, not her
chronological one. 1t has taken
Ellen II years to reach this stage
in her development.
Help Offered
What part has the community
played in the life of Ellen and
her parents, whom we'll call Mr..
and Mrs. Smith? What aids and
supports are offered to the re-
tarded child and its parents in
Montgomery County?

Indignation
Views Told
At Meeting

The Montgomery County School
Board Monday night was asked a
number of searching questions

people. The usually large turn
out caused the meeting to be
transferred from the Board of
Education building to the County
court house, for the hearing of
statements from the National AS
ISOLATION for Advancement of Col
ored People and six other groups.
