5 More Libraries Urged
For Montgomery County

now includes nine branch lib
raries and a central headquar-
tiers at Gaithersburg.
In addition there are independ-
ent libraries in Rockville and
Takoma Park.
BOokmobile Service
The planning committee also
recommended that the bookmo-
bile service be extended in the
county although it said some
stops now made by the mobile
units could be eliminated If the
building program is carried out.
Library board statistics indi-
cate that one out of three resi-
dents now use the libraries COM
pared with one in seven in 1850
Book circulation has increased
six fold in the five-year period
from 235, 900 to 1.480,000 last
year.
A chief complaint of the
library board is that increased
circulation has outstripped the
hiring of additional staff.
The demands on the librarian,
to handle circulation have
limited the time which they
have to give reference and ad.
visory service. the board said.
| Besides the new library il
Bethesda. now cramped fol
space according to the library
board, a big library is being
built in Silver Spring.
Located at Spring street anc
Colesville road. it will supplant
one now in operation at Jesur
Blair Park.
The new library is being
erected on land received without
cost by the county. 1t will cos
nearly 100000.
Chairman of the planning
committee is r. D. Remley.

OUTDOORS
With BILL lEETCH

If anglers get a weather break
this week end, fishing should be
good most everywhere. The hard
heads are scattered over upper
Chesapeake Bay and quite plen-
Itiful judging from catches made
in gill nets this past week. How
ever, this doesn't mean everyone
can go out and catch them
everywhere on hook and line. 1t
takes a bit of doing.
Best bait is the kind of shrimp
you buy in the market and eat
in cocktails. store shrimp" the
boys call it to distinguish it from
the native green shrimp. A bait
casting rod and reel and line or
spinning tackle with monofila-
lment line is heavy enough tackle.
Use about a No. Is Cincinnati
Bass hook and put it above a
Ione-ounce Sinker so it will drag
on the bottom or very close to
the bottom. Anchor your boat
offshore and cast toward the
shore as far away from the boat
as you can. Then reel in very
slowly and repeat the process.
Hardheads like a slowly moving
bait. Best time of day is from
late afternoon. say 6 pm. day.
light time on into darkness and
throughout the night. The fish
are usually feeding in shallow
water at this time of year and
are very scary. The above
method should get you a good
string from your favorite grounds.

Stock cupboard drivers from
the Washington area unlimber
their outfits Sunday in the first
important power event of the
season in the Chesapeake Bay
area-the 7th annual Solomons
Island marathon.
This is the PatuXent River
classic that takes boats over a
12-lap course totaling SO miles
a sort of seagoing stock car race
This year, as further protection
for drivers, the mile circuit
has been laid out entirely in ST.
Johns and Mill Creeks. This
eliminates the possibility of
rough seas in the Patuxent. The
start and finish will be just at
the mouth of the river.
Probable starters from this
area include three cupboard vet
Grams and one newcomer. They
are Eddie Murphy in his DU
outfit, Scamp; Yves and Gary
Lusby, with their Miss Bell III,
a Gu boat; Dick Ellis in his We
Three, another DU, and young
Mike lesley. a Silver Spring high
school boy who will be racing the
first time in an AU.
OF the quartet, Murphy rates
as hard luck man for a Solo,
mons marathon. He tipped over
one and broke down another.
But with Jack Holt. veteran DU
racer, as his pit man, maybe the
former commodore of Capital
Power Boat Association can
break the jinx this time. Holt
is a star racer whose new rig
won't be ready in time for the
race. So Murphy wisely signed
up Holt as his mechanic.
The Patterson team of Lusbys
will see either one or the other
racing. Yves Lusby has indicated
his son will be driving the out
board this season while he races
an inboard,
The starting lineup for Sum-
day: 11:15 am, Blu runabouts;
l pm. DU runabouts: 2:15 pm.

Bauer, the one and only regatta
announcer, will be the referee,
and Earl Hildebrand, measurer.
Solomons Island Cupboard Club
will play host. according to Race
Chairman Bob Langley.
There will be no aquapageant
off Hams Point on the eve of the
Presidents Cup Regatta power
boat races this September. In
stead. General Chairman Henry
Burroughs is working on a color
full coronation ball to be held
ashore that week end. At that
time the regatta queen will be
crowned.
Overriding reason for the
abandonment of the Friday night
program on the Potomac can be
summed up in one word-pollu-
ton. so long as that problem
remains, we cannot put on a
water show that includes water
skiiers and similar acts" Bur-
roughS explained.
Decision to stage regatta ball
instead was reached last week by
the regatta directors. At this
meeting they voted Samuel
Spencer, former District Com
missioner, and Sutton Jet. as
sistant to Ed Kelly, National
Capital Parks director, as d.
