In reviewing recent city de-
velopments, MARYLAND also:
/. Revealed that the city is con-
templating the execution of a

ments for trash collection.

Biggest Ever
Memorial Day
Taking Shape

Detailed arrangements for a
Memorial Day observance in
Rockville involving hundreds of
participants from every group
from the Marine Corps to the
Cub Scouts were placed before
the Mayor and Council this week.
More than 60 organizations will
take part in the parade and serv-
ices which will follow at the
Richard Montgomery High school
grounds.
There is also the possibility, ac-
cording to Parade Marshal Jer-
rold Ullman, that still other
units as yet unheard from will
take part in the event.
City officials, on receiving the
10-page bulletin detailing the line
of march and the various assem-
bly, points, were of the unanimous
opinion that the May 30 celebra-
ton will surpass that of any pre-
vious year.
All of the Armed services will
be represented as will all vete-

Propose Relaxation
OF Pool Room Rule;
Weigh Land Policy

Youth recreation, parking and
transit problems and land use
planning all came in for close
scrutiny by the Rockville Mayor
and Council Tuesday night.
An amendment which would re-
lax the ordinance governing the
use of public billiard rooms was
presented to the City Fathers by
Joseph Kyle, attorney for Earl
R. Weddle of Rays Recreation
rooms on East Montgomery Ave.
The amendment, which will
come up for public hearing on
June Z, would allow youths of
16 to enter billiard parlors and
youngsters of IA and Is to come
in with the written permission of
parents or guardians. Youths UNI
der IA, according to the amend
ment, would have to be escorted
by the parent or guardian.
The present ordinance prohibits
pool parlor attendance to young
SterS under 1S.
In making the request, Mr..
Kyle noted that the Youth Ac-
tivitieS Committee of the City
had approved the plan as a prop
er recreation for youngsters and
that no age limit of a similar ma
ture exists elsewhere in the DC
area. The amendment provides
that an unobStructed view of
pool rooms shall be available
from the sidewalk or outdoor
stairway.
City Manager John MARYLAND
gave it as his opinion that if the
age limits for pool room attend
: ance are to be relaxed, a sepa-
rate room should be installed for
youths under 16
The possible relocation of the
Haynes Lithograph Co., Inc. of
Silver Spring in the Rockville
area came up for discussion and
it was determined that use per-
nit will be necessary. A public
hearing on the matter will be
held June Z. The Company,
which employs 200 skilled crafts
men, has been reported earlier
as thinking of the shift in loca-
ton.
Building permits were also APP
proved for the construction of

the subject of previous concern
expressed by the City to the
State Public Service Commission.

Drill Involves 1900
Persons, 200 Cars
In Damascus Flight

Damascus and the Up-County
will get d taste of what an air
raid evacuation from the urban
districts of Washington would be
like on June l.
On that date, more than 1,200
persons ~ most of them chill
dren - from Takoma Park will
Invade" the area in a caravan
of 200 cars in the first of what
may be a series of air raid drills
by County CD authorities.
This announcement was made
today by the county authorities,
who said that the area would
also take part in the June Is
evacuation exercise planned by
District authorities.
The June l Takoma Park
Damascus drill is planned to get
in some actual experience before
the county's schools are dismiss
ed for the summer.
In making the announcement,
CD spokesman pointed out that
the June l test would involve
zone five hundredth of the per-
sons from heavily populated
areas that would take refuge in
the county in mass evacuation
from Washington"
The 200-car caravan which will
transport the Takoma Park
evacuees will be made up of
vehicles owned by PTA members
and members of civic organiza-
tons.
1t will reach Damascus by
travelling yer Sligo Park,
Forest Glen, Georgia Avenue to
Olney and Route 108 to Laytons-
vile and Damascus.
County police and fire officers
will be on duty to regulate traf-
fic and make observations which
might lead to the smooth handl-
ing a much larger evacuation.
Henry Perry and Spencer
Brown, Laytonsville CD and fire
officials, will play an active role
in the test and operations in the
Damascus area will be under the
direction of Bernard BUCK"
Gladhill, CD director in that
community.
The caravan, which will leave
Takoma Park at l pm, will
make the return journey at $3.50
pm. In the meantime, partici-
pants will be registered and
assigned to shelter areas in
Damascus. A critique of the OPP
GRAFTON will also will be given by
CD experts.
Inspiration of the plan appar-
entity was the formal adoption
of an evacuation plan by the

given before the air strike of

Asks County to Rebate
Library Taxes to City

Rockville would get an annual
rebate equivalent to its tax share
of operating the county library
system under a bill introduced
Tuesday during County Council
legislative session.
The measure is aimed at
eliminating dual taxation of city
residents, who also help pay
costs of operating city library.
The formula for fixing the re,
bate under the new measure is
to apply that portion of the
county rate covering library
appropriations to assessable city
property.
Another measure introduced
Tuesday would tighten up the
police relief and retirement fund
by hiking police contributions
from 2.5 percent to 5 percent
over a two-year period.
1t would also establish a mini.
mum retirement age of SIS and
set service requirements at 25
years. No age limit is now in
effect.
A third measure would give
the Council authority to pass or
dinances to regulate stray dogs
and cats.
In other developments the
Council was handed a series of
recommendations for re-organiz-
ing the Kensington Volunteer
Fire Department.
The proposals were drafted by
a special committee of the coun.
