For the last four or five years,
agencies which depend on volun-
teer service have been finding it
progressively harder toe attract
men and women who want to
give their time.
In Washington, the Volunteer
Services Department Of United
Community Services is the CEN

public and private agencies Of
all kinds.
After hitting wartime peak,
during which there were more
applicants for volunteer work
than there we're jobs to hold
them. the Volunteer Services De-

dwindling stream Of workers. In
1858, the department was able

2. A part of the Washington

Unless Federal approval is
granted for the road portion
through the park, State officials
said. new expressway route
may have to be designed through
a "densely populated residential
area" north of the park between
Wisconsin avenue and Forest
Glen.
Called Critical Problem"
Norman M. Pritchett, State
Roads Commission chief engi-
neer, said the Route 240 connec-
ton is "the most critical road
problem we have to resolve in
the Washington area"
Contracts already have been
let to build Route 24O from its
present terminus near Rockville
to Tuckerman lane. Eventually,
the new expressway will be ex-
tended southwark from that
point to the Potomac River at
Cabin John, but this construc-
ton is not scheduled for several
years. Unless the extension to-
Wisconsin avenue is built, Route
240 will come to a virtual dead
end when its construction to
Tuckerman lane is finished in
1858.
c. D. Curtiss. Public Roads
Commissioner. said his agency
Is studying the extension to see
whether it qualities for the
liberal interstate system grants.
The 2.3-mile connection, Mr.
Pritchett said, will cost between
SIS million and Sc million. which
represents about two months
worth of the total road construc-
ton money Maryland has for the
entire State. II Maryland must
provide the entire cost Of the
extension. he said. "the road
couldn't be built for several
years"
II expenditure Is permitted
under the interstate aid formula.
he said, the Roads Commission
could advertise construction bids
within the next few months.
This. he said. would mean con-
struction probably could be fin
ished in 1958-about the same
time Route 240 is completed to
Tuckerman lane. The connec-
ton would carry about 10000
cars a day Immediately. he said.
