10000 population increase by
1880. according to Meade Pal
mer. consultant to the Loudoun
County Planning Commission.
Mr.. Palmer told the county
Board Of Supervisors yesterday
the county might expect a popu-
lation growth from the present
1000 to 10000 by 1880, but in
an emergency could absorb the
extra population that would
bring it to $4,000.
Mr.. Palmer gave the SUPER
visors preview of new county
land use map being prepared.
Growth Around Towns
He said he envisioned the
county growth around the pres
Ient Incorporated towns, where
certain industrial sections would
be designated.
He suggested that the entire
Goose Creek watershed area
ultimately become a public park,
with perhaps the Federal and
State governments cooperating
in the purchase of land.

LA PLATA, Md, Oct. 2 (P).-
Planners of the annual Amer
lean Forestry Association Con-
vention couldn't bring the forest
to the convention SO they brought
the convention to the forest.
In so doing they are believed
to have made history in this
Charles County community
which now claims to be the first
rural area to play host to a
national convention in this coun-
try.
The convention hall is the La
Plata National Guard Armory.
just block off Route 301.
The convention delegates, in
stead of . being housed in a big
city hotA, are scattered among
a dozefS motels strung along
Route 30ks from Waldorf south
to La Plata.
Dealers Donate Autos
This has resulted in creation
of highly effective transporta-
ton system using autos donated
by dealers in the county and
chauffeured by volunteers for
delegates who came to the con-
vention without cars.
The four-day meeting opened
yesterday with more than $50
delegates attending. BY tonight,
when the convention banquet be-
gins in the Armory, the registra-
ton is expected to exceed $50.
The influx of visitors from all
over the Nation is expected to
mean a $4,000 to $4,000 shot
into the economic bloodstream
of the county.
obviously the bulk of the
money will go to the motel and
restaurant men right near here, +"
Reed McDonagh, president of
the Charles County Chamber of
Commerce, said at the Armory
yesterday.
Bound to Circulate"
But it is bound to circulate in
the community" he added.
Organized only last January,
the chamber found itself sud-
denly thrust into big city sit
uation without experience or paid
staff to fall back on. The organ
ization was almost without funds,
too. since its income for this
year is expected to be slightly
over $4,000.

U. S. Senator John ]. Williams is

Donald Leitch, state representa-
tive of the national foundation, met
with the executive committee and
stressed the need of other chapters
in the country for aid at this time.
The committee voted to send some
of its funds to aid those chapters
who are in need and who have been
less fortunate in polio incidents
and expenses.
Regarding the campaign, Mr..
Belts announced, 1T is important
that the public realize that the
need for polio funds continues. At
this point all the funds expended
in this county, as of this date, have
been used on old polio cases. The
need will continue for years to
come. A great portion of the funds
raised this year will be used quite
extensively to aid the old polio
cases toward a more complete re-
covery. Because of the existence
of the Salk polio vaccine the num-
ber of new cases will be much less
than that of previous years and the
attention of the foundation can now
be focused on the great need of the
older cases. Sussex County has al
ways supported this campaign and
we have confidence that it will con-
tinue to do so in 1857"
