Aberdeen-Angus and 81 Short
horns, making 1877 animals in the
beef cattle division.
There will be 191 pens of hogs
and 81 head of sheep. This all
adds up to big fair, and one
of the best of its kind in the
Washington area.
The Montgomery Fair hasn't
forgotten the appeal of the horse
This is one of the few fairs re-
naming where classes for draft
horses continue to be held, and
the annual pulling contest has
become one of the outstanding
features.
Draft horse classes this year
include classes for Percherons
|Belgians, grades and wagon
teams.
Montgomery's fair has come a
long way since crews of 4-H Club
members went into the woods
eight years ago to fell the trees
for lumber to build the fairs
first exhibition buildings.
The fair got its start through
volunteer workers. Additional
cattle barns have been built as
needed, and last year a new
building housed for the first time
the women's exhibits and the
farm crop displays.
Judging Today
Today's judging will include
classes in home and rural arts,
girls club department and farm
garden. fruit, dairy and poultry
products.
In the livestock division, Brown
Swiss dairy cattle and draft
horses also will be judged. A
military. drill by the Marine
Corps Drum and Bugle Corps
and the Marine drill team will
be held at Bpm.
Tomorrow Jersey and Holstein
dairy cattle will be judged. Also
poultry, rabbits, sheep and swine
From noon until 3 pm. cook
ing demonstrations will be held
in the women'S building.

Baltimore, it also would serve
as major link for traffic be.
tween the proposed Sixteenth
street extension and the inner
county belt route. 1t would run
along the west side Of Sligo
Greek Park.
Speedup on construction Of the
latter route also is likely to be
urged. The planners, without
doubt, will ask the roads agency
to preserve funds for construction
of the proposed Cabin John
bridge.
Inner Link
The bridge will link the inner
circumferential in Maryland and
Virginia. Virginia authorities are
working hard to reserve the
right of way for the inner belt
on their side of the Potomac.
The Importance Of the inner
circumferential and Cabin John
Bridge has been magnified by
the planned movement of major
Federal installations. such as the
Atomic Energy Commission and
the Central Intelligence Agency,
into the suburban counties.
Also slated for promotion by
the planners is East-WeSt high
way, now a cross-country route
from Bethesda to Hyattsville
that is a labyrinth of winding,
twisting, traffic clogged residen.
tial streets.
The commission wants the
Hamilton street section dualized
and extended to Hyattsville,
across Rhode Island avenue with
a new bridge over the BIO Rail-
road. 1t would connect with re-
located U. S. Route / and do
away with the treacherous Mel.
rose crossing.
Defense Highway
Another road almost certain
to be included in recommended
tons for dualization and mod.
ernization is the twisting and
narrow Defense highway, or
U. S. Route so.
Although the new Annapolis
expressway is expected to re-
lieve beach traffic on this road,
the planners feel that mush-
rooming subdivisions and COM
muter traffic will continue to be
heavy.
Another highway in this same
category in Prince Georges
County is Landover road that is
a major link connector between
the Hyattsville- Bladensburg area
and the county Court House at
Upper Marlboro.
The same will hold true for
George Palmer highway, a link
between Defense highway and
Seat Pleasant.
ALI of these roads will be
pressed for inclusion or speedup
in work in the 12-year program.
The commission also is ex-
|pected to urge the roads agency
to allot heavy funds now for
purchase Of rights Of way for
these highways before they are
|gobbled UP by new subdivisions.
The commission has been hold
ing the rights of way in reserve
but this can stall subdivision de-
velopment for no more than
three wears.

Welfare Budget
Study Ordered
In Arlington

A study Of Arlington Welfare
Department budgets has been
ordered by the county board,
and a more sweeping study may
be launched next month.
During a conference between
the Arlington County Board and
the County Welfare Board last
night a tentative decision to ask
the Bureau Of Public Administra-
ton of the University of Vir-
ginia to make the study was
reached.
County board members, mean
while, ordered County Manager
A. T. Lundberg to analyze cur
rent and recent budgets of the
welfare department.
Figures on welfare department
expenditures last year. compiled
by the county finance depart
ment, indicate the agency ended
the fiscal year with a $4,000
surplus, Mr.. Lundberg told the
county board.
Figures Are Questioned
Welfare board members, how
ever, said their figures show the
welfare program operated sc
close to the deficit line that
employment of a much needed
staff worker was not possible.
In the current budget year,
the welfare board reported, the
Iagency's request for $194,00O
from county funds was pared
down to $150,000 by the county
board, jeopardizing welfare OPP
erations. Ralph E. Arble, chair
man of the welfare board, said
the agency needs an additional
$4,000 to prevent loss of $22. 900
in State matching funds.
Mr.. Lundberg said his analysis
of the welfare budget indicated
that the additional $4,000 is
not needed.
County Board Member David
L. Krupsaw said it appeared that
two sets of figures were in ex-
iStence concerning welfare oper-
atoms.
Parking Needs Cited
In another conference session
the county board was told that
the new planning commission
has begun a study Of land use
problems in the courthouse area.
One of the major points to be
STUDIED is the critical need for
parking. Frank L. Dieter, plan
ming director said.
Mr.. Dieter disclosed the study
after L. Lee Bean, chairman of
the county board of coming APP
peals. reported to the county
board that new Office construc-
ton in the courthouse area has
been going forward without pro-
vision for parking space.
Mr.. Bean asked that the study
include an analysis of whether
a bond issue. recently approved,
which includes about 100000
for parking facilities in the
courthouse area. could be used
to ease the parking problem at
an early date

Goithersburg Fair Opens
Despite Driving Rain

A driving rain today failed tc
stop the opening Of the eighth
annual Montgomery County Fail
at Gaithersburg, Md.
A ceremony scheduled for the
fairgrounds gate was moved into
the oratorium building nearby
where Miss Margo Lucy. Miss
Washington of 1856, cut the rib
bon to open the fair.
The rain curtailed attendance,
however. Those who. came today
had no trouble finding parking
space. nor was there any mud
to prevent their seeing the live
stock and other displays. Paved
streets lead to all fair exhibits.
Long recognized as one Of the
top agricultural fairs in Mary
land, the typical Montgomery
County show include exhibits
that will please any farmer and
make his city neighbor envious Of
things down on the farm.
Many Animal Exhibits
There will be dairy and beef
cattle-the best in the State
and there viii be sheep, pigs a
plenty, and poultry. There will
be rabbits. and a goat show. And
there will be tall corn, big pump
kins and prize vegetables.
In the Women's department
the exhibits will tell a story. They
will show housewives from town
just what the country girl does
with her spare time"
And one look in this depart
ment will show you that she
does plenty. what with shelves
full of canned goods. hooked
rugs and fancy needlework. For
farm women are homemakers in
the fullest sense.
Big Livestock Exhibit
Totaling their records yester-
day, fair officials said there will
be on exhibit more than 466
dairy cattle, including 179 Jer-
seys, 108 Guernseys, ia Ayrshires
and 227 Holsteins.
There will be 81 HerefordS, 4s

Maryland State Roads Commits
sion.
The commission is charged
with planning for the orderly
development of suburban Mont
|gomery and Prince Georges
Counties.
The planning commission is
expected to emphasize its re-
|sponSibilities to the half million
suburban Maryland residents in
pressing for construction of
major roads to relieve existing
traffic bottlenecks.
The roads agency already has
included many of the projects
proposed in the planners master
plan of highways adopted in
1852. But the commission feels
that the constantly increasing
auto registrations require it to
press for a speedup of some of
these projects while urging in
Iclusion of several others.
Two Major Factors
The present efforts have been
prompted by two major factors.
First was the recent passage OF
the Federal Highway Aid Bill
which, over the next Is years, is
expected to pour some $3.50 mil
lion in Federal funds into the
State.
Second and especially in light
of the Federal aid bill passage,
lis that next January the State
Legislature will review the 12-
year program.
The Legislature, when it passed
the 1858 million 12-year plan in
1858, provided for full review
at the end of the first four years.
Commission members and staff
employees have been especially
close-mouthed about their pro-
posals.
They feel that the roads
agency should have time to study
the recommendations before they
are made public.
Nevertheless, it can be fairly
well established that certain pro-
jects will be included among the
recommendations.
Both in Category
The Outer Circumferential
freeway and the Northern Park
way are in this category.
Neither is in the 12-year pro-
gram.
The Outer freeway would ex-
tend from the Potomac River,
near Potomac, across Mont
gomery County, passing near
.Montrose road, Glenmont, Fair
land and Muirkirk to route 301,
just south of its intersection with
route so.
The Northern Parkway would ex-
tend from Montgomery Hills,
just north of Silver Spring, to tine
Howard County line and route
40.

BoIIet Poison Gift
TickIes Alexandra
By JACK JONAS

.WIlOle VI Tile 1IlCeruaClOual
mailing system.
When the National Ballet
Company of Canada was
here, the Canadian govern
ment thought it might be
nice to call attention to the
fact by presenting some sort
of unusual gift to the Alex
andria chamber.
After all, the chamber had
entertained the ballet COM
pany royalty on a sightseeing
tour through the historic
Virginia city.
The Canadians thought up
a dandy gift-a piece of
uranium ore.
There was some difficulty
getting it out of the mine and
into the post Office, and so it
didn't arrive here until after
the ballet company had left.
But, better late than never,
so the presentation took place
anyway, at the Canadian
Embassy.
When the package arrived
here by mail, the piece of ore
about 3 by 4 inches-was
in a 20-pound lead container
which bore a picture of a
skull and crossbones and this
legend.
Handle carefully. Radio
active material. Glass D.
poison. No person shall re-
main with 8 feet of this
container unnecessarily"
The Alexandria Chamber
accepted the gift, thanked
the Canadians, and made
immediate plans to put the
ore on display in their new
Office building at 400 South
Washington street.
And what precautions will
be taken?
wen just set it up on the
little stand that came with
it," a chamber spokesman
said. Maybe we'll put a glass
display case around it."
He said technical experts
had told the chamber there
really wasn't any radioactive
ity danger from the ore.

Insurance
1t may not rain everytime
you wash your automobile,
but somehow it always seems
like it does.
Recognizing that complaint
of car owners everywhere, one
of the car wash places here
has been issuing rain checks.
The date the car is washed
is stamped on the rain check,
which then promises:
TN case of rain by mid
night of date stamped below,
this rain check will be good
for a free car wash, if pre-
sented anytime next day at
either of our stations. :"

whatever you use, and when
the poor fish gets a Whit, the
lure is so strong he snaps at
the bait. It's heralded as
