acres of the old Clark property,
fronting on 345 feet of the Rock
ville-Norbeck Road.
He said it is planned to erect
a brick building that looks like
school to train reserves from
the Rockville area. These men
sign up for short, active duty
bitches with the Army and fill
out their military obligation by
attending two-hour sessions at
Reserve Centers once a week.
Col. Egeler said a maintenance
garage would be attached to the
center. Reservists would be
trained in the upkeep and usage
of latest Army mechanical de
vices and vehicles there, he said.
The building would be con
structed by the Army Corps OF
Engineers and the entire cost OF
the project would be paid by the
Federal government.
The Army got an OK to use

For 1000 Men
Army Plans to Build
Training Center Here

The House Armed Services
Committee last week ap-
proved expenditure of $751;
600 for an Army r eserve
Training Center, to be located
on Route % next to the Rock
vile Cemetery.
The center would be capable
of housing 1000 reserve soldiers
in a school-type building two
stories high.
Money for the building was in
cluded in the Defense Depart
ment's budget passed recently by
Congress. More than 100 similar
centers, to, cost $25 million, are
planned by the Defense Depart
ment.
Next step will be for the Sen.
ate Armed Forces Committee to
approve expenditure of the
money and then separate
amounts for each center must be
apportioned from the budget.

placed each on three years pro-
baton.
One of the requirements of
probation is to report regularly
to the probation officer who must
keep a close watch on his
charges. AS in many other fields,
Montgomery County's upward
surge in population has taxed
CAROLS office to the point that
he cannot give as much attention
to Peoples Court as to Circuit
Court.
Peoples, Court handled a little
more than 5000 cases last year
and the trend is toward more
cases. Judge Diamond pointed
out that a large majority of the
cases brought into Peoples Court
] are misdemeanors rather than

felonies.
Misdemeanors often are COM
mitted either by young persons
or "first-timers." And these are
the people who could most bene-
fit by being placed on probation"
Judge Diamond declared.
Judge Diamond also called for
central records bureau where
police could go to check for
criminal records on persons they
detain.
For instance" Judge Diamond
said, "a police officer stops a
man for speeding and asks him
for his permit and registration
card. The man could say, I left
them home
well, the officer can take his
word for it or take him in. But
because we don't have a records
file of driving violations in this
county, the officer must check
with Baltimore to see if the man
he's stopped has had his license
revoked.
Similarly, if l found a young
man guilty. of a speeding charge
and placed him on probation, he
could then drive into the juris
dictions of the Bethesda or Silver
Spring Peoples Courts, commits
the same offense and be allowed
to pay his collateral and go free
1--WE need some central bureau
like the one in Washington where
complete criminal files are KEEP

Job Office
Will Close
Tomorrow

Closing of the Gaithersburg
office of the Department of En-
ployment Security tomorrow will
not have an immediate effect on
the county welfare department,
according to William E. Roger,
department director.
"But we may feel little pinch
next December when the labor
market tightens up" Roger said.
Walter Cough, director of local
office operations for the DES,
will close the office because
There is no need for it at this
time," he said.
Only 18 persons have been
placed in jobs since the office
opened March "a.
Perhaps Rockville would have
been a more logical place for the
employment office, although Cal
thersburg will be more of focal
point as the central part of the
county expands" he said.
One result of the employment
security office has been fewe
assistance payments to unem
ployed persons who are able t.
work.
Payments to these so-calleC
Unemployed employables," hav'
totaled only about 5000 since las
March, Roger said. The pro

Generally" Roger said, "th'
labor picture brightens as thu
growing season begins" The can
ming companies in Gaithersburi
also provide additional jobs dur

ArdenneS
Problem

BY Joan j. Stern
Garden 1887

Ardennes Avenue traffic, long
problem to its residents, has
been the target of another recon-
mendation from the Rockville
Planning Commission, without,
so far, arousing much of rally
ing cry from the people.
How those affected will react
to this last of a series over the
years of recommendations for
parking on only one side of the
street is unknown at this
moment.
Leslie Able, chairman Of. the
Rockville Planning Commission,
cites Ardennes and Edmonston
as the two worst of primary resi-.
Dental streets in Rockville in as
much as they are too narrow for
the, traffic, they. bear, and they
are recommending the parking
ban for both streets.
Although local officials and
various Tea committee members
personally view the proposal in a
favorable light, feeling it would

Peoples Courts in the county
should have their own probation
officers instead of having to rely
on those assigned to circuit court,
Judge John B. Diamond said this
week.
Current pra ctice requires
Peoples Court judges to send
men they put on probation to Will
liam Homer Carroll, Circuit
Courts only probation officer.
Carroll already is heavily
loaded with cases referred to his
office by the Circuit Court but,
nevertheless, has consented to
aid Peoples Court when he has
time. He is not required to do so.
The need for a probation off
GER in Peoples Court was under
scored several weeks ago when
Judge Diamond suspended execu
ton of sentence on three youths

County Aides
Okdy Plan for
Social Security

All general employees of the
county will come under the So
cial Security benefits system but
employees of the police depart
ment will not, as a result of a
special referendum.
Nearly 81 percent = or 751 of
the county's 866 general EN-
ployees voted for Social Secur-
ity benefits, whereas only six
and-a-half percent - or 16 of the
Police Departments 239 en-
ployees - voted similarly.
Significantly, more than So per
cent of the Police Departments
eligible voters chose not to cast
ballots.

increase safety for children with
out appreciably increasing speed
along the narrow road, they have
not yet planned any action or
polls.
Residents, in the past, have re-
versed themselves on the parking
ban issue. Four years ago they
voted 8 to l in favor of the ban,
but the city put it into effect for
only the one block below Viers
Mill Road.
Two years ago, when the poll
was repeated, residents of Ar
dennes voted 3 to 1, only this
time it was against the parking
ban.
simultaneously a controversy
has ragged over stop signs for the
street, with residents wanting
and receiving them several years
ago.
In 1857, the city Traffic Adj
visory Committee recommended
the removal of stop signs on
Ardennes and the residents turn
ed out in full force to protest
this proposal. They still have
their stop signs, but there are
those who feel it was only tenn
porary victory, as has been their
former victory with the parking
ban.
The fact remains that Ar.
dennes is a Consequence of
city being built without proper
design, according to Able.
Present standards call for a
minimum of 26 feet for second
airy road and SO feet for a pri-
mary road. Ardennes meets the
standard for secondary roads,
but functions as primary road,
carrying in excess of 1000 cars
per day.
The alternative to the parking
ban would be widening the street
in its narrow portions.
With staggered parking, and
rumor has 1t that some of this
staggering has been done on pur-
pose to increase driving diff
Guilty and thus slow down the
cars, there is room for only one
lane Of moving traffic.
The proposal would not affect
change on all of Ardennes which
has one side parking on the first
block off Viers Mill and at the
Twinbrook Elementary School.
Also not needing change would
be a portion at the lower end of
Ardennes, built more recently,
which meets the standards of a
primary road and could afford
parking on both sides of the
street while still allowing two
lanes of traffic to flow freely.
| The Planning Commissions
proposal has been presented to
the Mayor and Council and now
awaits its action on the matter
in July.
