Funeral services were to
be held today at Q pm. for

mere st., Hollywood Park,
who drowned Monday in a
swimming hole on North
west Branch below Burnt
Mills Filtration Plant.
An eighth grader at Sher-
wood, the .14-year-old youth left
home osentisibly to visit with
friends near his home. Instead,
he apparently went to Four
Corners. Three boys who were
swimming at the time Of the
tragedy said they met the-youth
at a nearby bowling alley and
he accompanied tn e m to the
swimming hole.
One of the eyewitnesses said
George ate his lunch consisting
of two sandwiches before diving
in. A fireman quoted another
of the youths as saying the vic
tim was demonstrating to the
others how long he could stay
under water without coming
up for air.

industrial Acreage. Too
Proposed Airport Seeks
Pool, Lodge and Links

Architectural plans for
the proposed commercial
airport near Laytonsville
were released this week,
showing developers plans
for a nine-hole golf course,
a lodge to accommodate
overnight guests, nine hang
ars and an administration
building.
Also on the plans for Mont
gomery County Airpark were
three industrial sites thanking
the airport's two paved run
ways.
William B. Wheeler, attorney
for William E. Richardson,
president of Airpark, Inc, said
aircraft support industries "al-
most certainly" will be among
the first to utilize the industrial
areas.
The largest Of the three in
dustrial tracts fronts on Snouf-
fer School I'd. 1t measures 1913
acres. The two smaller pieces
have frontage on State Rt. 124
and have 26.4 and 29.s acres,
respectively.
Richardson's son, James, said
Tuesday that industries that
would contribute to the Atomic
Energy Commission at Ger
mantown, and to the proposed
National Bureau of Standards,
planned for Gaithersburg, were
interested in the industrial sites.
He would not elaborate.
The main runway stretches
800 feet from North-N orthwest
to South-SOutheast. 1t is IS
feet wide with HOO feet APP
prOach area at either end.
Another runway 2150 feet in
length forms base line to the

angles. 1t has the same width

mated the body was In the

The Rockville City Ii
brary will soon become the
only library in Montgomery

The council voted Tuesday to

to cost $500, and lend 1t to the

minutes of its meetings and
keep them in the library.

Peter said that Chester F.
Claggett, seller of the land, is
Is years old and a member of
the family that has farmed the
tract on Seven Locks I'd. con-
tinuously for at least IS years.
Residential development of
the Claggett tract would fulfill
predictions by Rockville city
planners who foresee greatest
development of the city south
of its existing southern boun-
diaries.
Extension of the Cabin John
trunk sewer line up the Cabin
John Creek will open vast tracts
of stream valley land for devel.
opment. The Claggett tract lies
on the east side of a ridge off
Falls I'd. and so would drain
naturally into an extension of
the Cabin John trunk line.

It's 70S
Route 24O
Gets a New
Designation

Motorists driving along the
Washington National Pike may
see two signs identifying their
route: one reads US. 240, the
other 70S.
The 240 designation Is a
familiar one, having been
switched to the dual highway
starting at Frederick and ter
minating In Bethesda from the
old 240 that was Wisconsin ave.
to Rockville and that went on
to Gaithersburg and Frederick.
But the 70S is a new one. 1t
IDENTIFIES the road as a link in
a nationwide system Of inter-
state highways. Motorists in
the future will be able to fol-
low only one or two main inter-
state routes from one border Of
the country to another, without
having to laboriously piece their
route together from widely
varying route numbers.
They'll be using many Of the
some old roads, In some cases,
but the roads themselves will
have been made a part of grid
serving the nation.
The rs" on the route signs
deals with type Of the road, its
access, etc. Large petroleum
companies are repeatedly re.
working their maps TO incor.
porate the new interstate
routes.

Arson St.
Site OK'd
County

The County has finally de-
cided where to build a coun-
ty service building in Silver
Spring: on Arson st. between
First and Second ayes.
The decision came Tuesday
after a see-saw session was fl
nally broken when Grover K.
Walker, president protein,
changed his opposing vote to
AYE" in favor of the site.
Council president, Stella B.
Werner, was not present at
Tuesdays meeting.
Walkers climactic vote
brought heavy signs from six
women and tears from another
all neighbors of the tract
where where the County will
build a police station, detention
calls for 10 prisoners, a Peoples
Court, and other offices.
Choice of a site had narrowed
down to Arson st and another
on Sligo ave-, in Silver Springs
southern section. Residents liv.
ing near Arson st. had strongly
protested against county serv-
