Rockville's residential sections is
being planned jointly by the vari-
Gus citizens associations in CO.
operation with local hardware and
lumber stores.
Reports of homes and lawns
deteriorating have reached citi-
zens associations and Tom Law
rey, president of Twinbrook Citi-
zens Association which will join
in the campaign, believes a major
cause of neglect of homes is the
lack of proper tools. Even such
standard tools as ladders.
Local merchants are expected
to cooperate on this venture with
special prices on materials and
low rental fees on the necessary
tools. In some cases tools will
be borrowed with no fee, merely
a deposit.
An extensive advertising cam
paign will precede the cleanup
period which will take place
probably in May.
Twin-Brook Shopping Center's
80 automatic bowling alleys ex-
pect to be in operation by mid
April.
Two bowling receptions win be
given the evening previous to
opening day, when, in two shifts,
community leaders and merchants
will be invited to try their hands
with the bowling balls.
Edwin d. Pugh, who will man.
age the concern, said facilities will
include a snack bar serving sand
wiches and soft drinks, a check
room, and a combination nursery
meeting room.
The decor will be in olive and
yellow with carpeting on the
floors. According to Pugh, who
currently is managing the Wood
Moor Bowling Alley at Four Cor
ners, this will be one of the big
gest and most modern alleys in
the area.
Both Woodmoor and Twinbrook
bowling alleys are part of Recre-
alton Enterprises, Inc, located in
Baltimore.
There viii be 20 alleys of duck
pin, and IL of ten pin.
Hours will be 9 Am. to 1 Am.
Mondays through Fridays, 9 to
midnight on Saturdays, and noon
to 1 Am. on Sundays.
There will be a small fee for
the nursery room where an at
tendant will be on duty to watch
the children while their parents
bowl. The room will be available
at some times for organizations
that need a meeting room.
John MARYLAND, city manager,
Bill Vaughan, Director of Public
Works, and Don Gingery, con-
tractor, put their three heads to-
gether and Matched another plan
to de-confuse the shopping cen
ter exit next to Peoples Drug
Store.
Again the plan calls for a sign
at the exit, this one a slight bit
stronger than the former no-left-
turn sign. This one goes all the
way and says one way only, thus
prohibiting any use of that drive
for exit purposes.
Whether this will work better
than the no left turn sign, which
was completely ignored, only time
will tell.
Perhaps a more drastic plan of
it one way in front of
the stores would make shopping
less confusing for all. On the
other hand, perhaps we need
more street cars in the suburbs
or fewer two-car families.
Tea hopes to cooperate with
other East Rockville citizen asso-
Citations to present all candidates
for the city elections to the mem
bers of the associations.
Feeling that the combination of
Silver Rock and Broadwood Man
or, New Rockcrest and Twin
brook Citizens Associations would
guarantee a large scale audience,
Tom Lawrey hopes candidates
will agree among themselves on
one night all can speak.
Lawrey, who is currently nurs-
ing a finger broken in three
places while moving an office
desk, will appear for jury duty
March II.
