Conference Session" is too for

sleeyed atmosphere at City Hall
Tuesday night. YAK session"
"gripe session" or just plain "let
down your hair" night might be
better.
There is no agenda, there are
no minutes, and no action taken.
The order of business is anything
bothering the Mayor and Coun-
Gil or members or the staff.
The public, represented by one
lone member Of the press Tues
day night, can be seen but not
heard. At least that's the rule
but since this time the press was
feminine even that rule was re.
Taxed for good two cents
worth.
AS the night progressed, large
white mugs of coffee and bottles
of coke appeared to nourish the
discussions. The smoke-filled at
mosphere was aided and abetted
by the Mayors cigar and the
pipes of Councilmen Greene and
Bill Vaughan, the directors. of
public works.
What were the matters of
great portent that loosened the
bow ties and removed the vests
around the conference table?
Well they had quite a time
with the "two-faced" town clock.
Or should it be "four-faced"? Or
should we bother to replace the
old clock demolished by wan
dering fireman awhile back) at
all?
Here, East met West with a
clash. Alex Greene, councilman
from the west end, spoke strongly
in favor of replacing the town
landmark.
However, Frank Ecker from
Twinbrook on the east side said
that he had never noticed the
clock until it was knocked down.
Time was saved by Greene's
moving appeal and it was decided
to direct the staff to turn to Eu-
rope to find cheaper model than
the $5000-$6000 ones of the only
two American companies still in
the business of making landmark
clocks.

His announcement was met
with groans of relief. Stepping
down from the podium, Chester
Petranek smiled and said, "They
really don't mind the work."
1t was the last rehearsal of the
Montgomery County Symphony
Orchestra before its first concert
this Sunday. Its IS members had
been working a least once a
week for months to prepare for
its six performances.
The first will be November "a
at a p. m. at the Bethesda Chevy
Chase High School. The second
will be the next day, at 8:15 p. m.
at the Richard Montgomery High
School. The remaining four con-
certs have not yet been SEIZED
uled. All are free.
Rugged Rehearsals
As the majority of the must
clans milled around outside, sew
eral remained to run over their
parts. The hesitant notes from
their flutes and fiddles empha-
sized the enormity of their prac-
tice hall, the gymnasium of the
B-CC hign school. When they
practice there, Maestro Petranek
conducts from inside the free
throw circle of the basketball
court, his white baton twitching
close to the dangling net.
The orchestra also practices at
the auditorium of Montgomery
Junior College, about so yards
from B & o Railroad track. The
diesel locomotives som e ii m e
drown out the music.
But such things as poor light
ing, alternate STIFFNESS and cold
and outside noises haven't sub
dued the orchestra's vigor. This
season will be its 18th and its
popularity is growing.
If the players aren't be-bop
rock and rollers, neither are they
real square long hairs. At least
a dozen are in their late teens or
early 20's. Practice nights find
many of the women appearing in
toreador Stacks and pony tails
and the men in loud sport shirts
and loaferS.
Petranek this night wore a

brown and white sportshirt with
jailbird stripes.
Some of the musicians are col
lege students. Others are doctors
one plays the kettle drums now
referred to by the orchestra as
"sputniks" lawyers, school
teachers and government workers.
Elk Piano Tuner
One, Leon Saylor is a retired
piano tuner. He is in his 70s and
plays the cello. He lives at 1926
Essex Avenue, Chevy Chase.
All of the musicians bring their
own instruments. Music is pur-
chased from funds donated by the
public. No one gets paid for play
ing or for his transportation.
The repartee between orchestra
members and Petranek is lively.
A week ago when he raised his
baton for the first downbeat at a
rehearsal he was greeted with the
brassy strains of Happy Birth
day to YOU" instead of Tschai.
kowski's Fourth Symphony. He
was 43.
Started by Price
The orchestra was started in
1947 by Hugh Price then Dean of
Montgomery Junior College and
now director of a system of jun
Tor colleges in California
Petranek happened to be the as
sistant band director at Walter
Reed Army Hospital at about
that time. He decided to locate
here and landed a job as music
teacher with the Montgomery
County schools system. He now is
the assistant music director for
schools with home base at B-CC.
His wife is physical education
teacher at the same school. Two
of their three children have
shown interest in the arts. Ste
phen, 10, plays the violin and pi-
ano and Kathleen, 9, is a ballet
student.
Petranek was born in Iowa and
is a graduate of Coe College,
Cedar Rapids and George Wash
ington University in Washing
ton. He has been teaching music
for about 20 years.
He has studied conducting the
last seven summers under Pierre
Monteux, famed conductor of the
San Francisco symphony.

State To Widen
Route 1O3 Within
Village Limits

Although officials of the State High
way department viii not venture to
guess when the project viii be under
taken, the re-surfacing and widening
of Route 103 within the village corp
oration limits is planned for the rca-
sonably near future, Mayor David
Riser was advised recently.
Mayor Risser said that he had been
advised by division officials OF the
department that the project has been
estimated to cost S35, 900. OF this
amount the village of Bluffton would
be expected to pay $3.50.
The village will be prepared to
pay its share of the cost, the mayor
said, because under a new law seven
and one-half per cent of the villages
revenue from the gasoline tax must
be earmarked for state highway i'm
provements when a highway passes
through the town. Because Route
103 is now the only state highway in
Bluffton. this money must be spent
on it.
Mr.. Risser said that S1.3S7 has al
ready accumulated in the highway
fund, and that by the
time the state decides to do the work.
the remainder should be forthcoming.

expenses and provide a fund for
depreciation of the garbage collection
truck.
At the same time council decided
against reduction of rates for users
OF electric garbage disposals. Village
solicitor John Harnishfeger advised
council that such a provision might
be declared discriminatory. He sug-
gested that instead of basing the
lower rate on ownership of an appli-
ance, that it be based on the number
of stops made by the village truck
at the patrons home. It had been
argued that since the truck made
only II stops a year for waste col
lection as compared with 104 for
garbage. the disposal users should
benefit by lower rate.
Business places, under the new
ordinance, are divided into three
catagories according to the amount
of garbage and trash hauled from
them. Light users of the service will
pay 81 fee, with those in the med
ium category paying S14 and those
with heavy amounts of refuse to be
hauled will pay $18.

New Church School
Addition At E & R
Church Now In Use
Expect Cost To Exceed
Estimate By More
Than $4,000

Although the date of the formal
dedication has not been set, st. Johns
Evangelical and Reformed church
was pressing its new Church school
addition into full service the past two
weeks.
The Rev. v. c. Oppermann said
that the classrooms are in use by the
primary through intermediate classes
and the large rooms are being used
for other church functions.
Estimated to cost approximately
S50,000 when plans were made, the
building committee now expects the
outlay to exceed $4,000. Some work
in joining the old and new easements
including the removal of the old
church wall remains to be done.
Ready for use, however, are the
large rooms on both first and second
floors which may be subdivided into
smaller rooms by means of built-in
accordion doors.
Another attractive feature of the
basement is a large kitchen equipped
to prepare and serve food for large
crowd. Included in the equipment is
a huge 10-burner gas range with
large double oven. A three-compart-
ment stainless steel sink and refrig-
orator is provided with large capa-
city of steel wall cabinets.
All of the rooms have acoustic tile
ceilings and vinyl tile floors with a
different color and pattern in each
room.
Also in use at the present time is
the pastors new study and con-
ference room adjoining for meetings
of church officials.
A gas-fired hot water system heats
the new addition.

Huber On Air Tour
To Capital City

Henry Huber, well-known Bluffton
farmer and former supervisor of the
Allen Soil Conservation district, and
Ray Milestone, present supervisor of
the district, left Monday with group
of 20 other soil conservation men
from northwestern Ohio on an "Air
Tour" to Washington, D. c.
The group left the Lima Airport
aboard a chartered plane bound for
Philadelphia and thence to the
country's capital city.
The conservationists visited the U.
S. Department of Agriculture where
they talked with department officials
and the chief of the soil conservation
service. They also spent a half day
at the Beltsville experimental farm.
