The super-abundance of chill
dren nearing their teens, burst
ing school enrollments and ma
triarchal way of life all identify
Twinbrook with thousands of sim.
liar communities across the ma
ton.
But one thing sets Twinbrook
apart from other communities and
that is its citizens associations.
Twinbrook Citizens Associa-
ton, Inc. begun in 1913 by 40
home owners has grown to 1852
member families. The member.
ship is expected to swell to be-
tween 1850 and 1850 a year from
now.
Tea is unlike other citizens
groups in that it boasts an ex-
tremely well organized and re.
sponsvie membership Ground
swells of community opinion can
be determined swiftly through a
system of block chairmen who re-
port to area chairmen.
Each Block Covered
The block chairmans job is to
act as liaison man between his
neighbors on the block and the
Tea. He can visit or telephone
his neighbors and report back tc
the Tea in a matter of hours.

held two jobs simultaneously.
Paying jobs were held by q
percent of the women.
Most jobs were located out.
side of Rockville.
Including part-time work and
overtime work the average day
was nearly eight hours, with
hours varying from two hours to
l6 hours a day
Types of jobs were broken into
10 broad classification. with bust
ness office worker leading the
group with 40 in this group.
Engineers, including those with
degrees and those whose work is
mechanically allied numbered 81.
The Armed Services counted for
80, statesmen, sc, mechanics, 33.
Scientists, including doctors
and nurses came to 26, govern
ment workers, II; self-employed,
%; writer's, II; teachers, 10; art
lists, 9.
There were four lawyers, one
insurance agent, one student.
Other catagories were: crafts,
5; public service, 9; special serv-
ice, 5; transportation, 8; and mis-
cellaneous, II.
Less than a mile was travelled
en- route to work by 10 people
and 18 people travelled over 35
miles to their jobs. The other 401
job-holders lived an average II
miles from their place of work
Women out-distanced men for
volunteer community work, but
not by much. The greater differ
ence is between those who do
community work and those who
don't. OF the 660 who returned
the questionnaires only 275 did
community work. OF these there
were 125 men and $50 women.
Under the guidance. of Mrs.
Bowman, the sixth grade com.
posed the questionable, tabulat-
ed the results, and made seven
graphs which were displayed in
the hall of the school.
DR.. Eta Larrimore, principal,
quoted County Supervisor John
King as describing the graphs as
high school caliber work"
The students responded to the
project with the greatest ell
thusiasm she had seen in her II
years teaching, Mrs. Bowman

lations and just plain blisters.
The pool became so popular
that another was built and third
is said to be on the books.
The residents of Twinbrook
don't have to go to association
meetings to keep up with their
community. They can read all
about it in "Twinbrook Life" the
associations excellently edited
monthly newspaper.
Life" was started September
IS, 1854. Its first editor was Bert
Sherman. The present editor is
Richard Everhart.
The paper is free. 1t contains
association news and articles of
interest to its readers-all about
poison ivy, spiders, how to grow

said. Mrs. Bowman has been on
the Twinbrook staff for five
years.
The project was handled so
the students not only learned
about the community but had
arithmetic ard literary exercises
as well. The class wrote a Walt
Whitman-styled poem concerning
their project.
This is = poem about people
working, people working every
where.
This is our poem about men
and women workers of all ages,
Working before sunup, at
nOontime, and through the
night.
This is our song about the
doctor, the nurse and their
patient;
The rabbi, the priest, and the
minister - each in his own
place of worship:
The teacher teaching the chill
dren;
The engineer. the artist, the
electrician, planning and build
ing together.
This is our song Of the army,
the navy, and the air force.
A song of our steady ma.
rines,
A song for the farmer har.
vesting his crops i'm the au-
tumn,
And the truck driver carry.

ing.
And our mailman coming in
all kinds of weather.
We sing of the scientist

OF our parents planning and
working for us.
We sing of all workers i'm all

seated tradition-minded officials
in city elections in 1854.
Dissatisfied with inadequate
water and sewerage facilities and
with an outmoded method of vot-
ing, the Tea encouraged its
members to look into the issues
and vote. Their votes were i
large part of the majority that
swept Mayor Hovsepian, Twin
brook resident, into office.
Swimming Pool
Another example of teas use.
fulness was its sponsorship of the
Twinbrook swimming pool. Start
ed at a meeting in February,
1855, it was completed seven
months later The Tea met and
overcame many obstacles to the
pool including Federal tax regu-

Twinbrook Community Is Classic Case of Suburbia

years old, has a wife and three
children He earns about $4,000 a
year, owns a three-year-old car
and is veteran either of World
War II or the Korean war.
He probably went through col
lege on the G.. 1. Bill which he
also used to buy his $12, 800, three
bedroom home. He may be a TV
repairman, psychiatrist, a
plumber, Government clerk or a
junior high school teacher-all OF
these and many other workers
live in Twinbrook.
Loads of NeighbOrs
AS always follows in suburbia,
our statistical Twinbrooker has 4
lot of friends among his neigh
bors, friends with wide variety
Of jobs and related interests. This
kind of potpourri usually creates
a spontaneous common interest in
Things that affect the group -
hence, a citizens organization.
One of the biggest and as yet
unfaced problems to oe tackled by
the Twinbrook Citizens Associa-
ton could be Jumped under the
title of Teen ayers slow to Pro
vide For Them"
In about five years by far the
largest group of children in Twin
brook will be in their teens. Pro-
visions will have to be made for
their recreation, church groups
and other social activities. They
will need part-time jobs during
summer months. Their avid inter
ests probably will demand a big
ger library than the city now OPP
crates.
Who knows, maybe they'll have
to initiate their parents and start
a junior citizens association.

This system is extensively used
in referendum voting. Typical of
the high.speed polling of opinion
was referendum opinion last
week that indicated a majority
of Twinbrook residents balk at
allowing Peoples Drug Store to
sell off-sale beer.
Seventeen hundred ballots were
delivered to residents by the block
chairmen. About 700 were filled
in and returned promptly and
more followed.
1t is possible that the Tea could
conduct referendum vote on
some vital project and get the
results in 48 hours.
This growing reservoir OF
voters in Rockville elections is
carefully watched by City Hall.
City officials know that if it cared
to, the TEA could marshal an
effective voice in city politics.
The Association has tried to re-
main aloof from local elections
however, prefering to retain a
purely Indigenous character II
has not attempted to sway its
members politics.
