BY Roy Lee Yinger

This column is not meant to
be disparaging although 1t may
sound that way. But l can no
longer refrain from sounding off
on a subject that has been a
source of vexation to me for a
long time.
Whenever l hear someone re.
fer to. Rockville as a "city" I
seethe. If you can call Rockville
a"city" let's start calling Pooles-
vile a city. There really isn't
very much difference between
the two except that Rockville
has a population of $4,000 and
Poolesville much less than a
thousand. In Rockville, as in
PoolesWlle, they take In the
sidewalks at 9 pm.
There are bound to be people
who will say to one another
after thev read this little piece,
III Yinger doesn't like this place
why does he stay around here?"
My answer would be to them
that this isn't the point. The
point is that Rockville simply
isn't a "city" in the true sense
Of the word. The appellation of
bedroom Of the capital" is
much more appropriate.

Rockville Needs
A Lot Of Things

Rockville with its sister city,
Frederick. This should be a
fair comparison, because both
places were originally settled at
about the same time.
You can't find a park bench
in Rockville because there isn't
any park. The only place you
can sit down on publicly owned
property in Rockville is on the
stone wall in front of the old
court house. Maybe II they
paint the wall green you might
imagine that you were sitting on
a park bench. But you'd have
to have a much better imagina-
ton than I have to imagine that
you were feeding some frolic-
some squirrels, or studying a
handsome robin as he strutted
across the green grass. Fred
erick has five beautiful, we'll

put in my two cents worth IN
trying to get the management
to change over to a daily. 1t
would be the biggest thing that
ever hit Rockville. One of these
days I hope they'll see the light.

to think what we would do If
we didn't have them. But what
a much better job they could
do if Rockville had its own hos
pital. Frederick has two hos.
pitfalls.
Why doesn't Rockville have
a hotel? I am speaking for the
hundreds of business men and
women who have business in
Rockville but cannot find place
to stay overnight unless they
are lucky enough to find a
room at motel on the outskirts
of Rockville. This is a situation
which should be remedied with.
out delay. Frederick has two ex-
cellent hotels, one Of which cost
a million dollars way back In
1926.
I'll go along with the people
In Rockville who say that Rock.
vile should have a first-rate
movie house comparable to
those of downtown Washington,
and I'll also go on record in
saying that I believe that the
new management of Rockville's
only theater is honestly trying
to bring better movies to this
town. Fredericktonians have
better movie fare because there
are two theaters in Frederick
and competition is keener.
I don't know where they could
put it but Rockville is in des.
perate need of a municipality
owned, extensive, recreational
area. This area should have a
prescribed section for all ath-
letic events and sports such as
baseball, football, swimming and
tennis. How Rockville has ex-
listed all these years without
these facilities is beyond my
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1959-03-19

play tennis. It's a crying shame
that Rockville doesn't have a
single tennis court.
If you think I'm kidding about
all this, here's what you do. Go
up to Frederick. Take a long,
hard look at Baker Park. Here
is a recreation area to end all
recreation areas, a huge expanse
of green grass for all athletic
pastimes, a beautiful swimming
pool park benches galore and
just plenty of regulation tennis
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1959-03-19

courts for those who like to play
this wonderful game. In addi-
ton there's a lake up there
where kids can catch all kinds
of fish right within the city
limits. Do you know any place
you can catch fish in Rockville?
Another thing that Rockville
needs as much as anything else
is a daily newspaper. I do not
think you can find a finer week
ly newspaper than the one which
prints this column. And have

comprehension. 1t is true that
some baseball and football is
played in small vacant lots in
dangerous, traffic congested
areas, and children are sent out
to the creeks or the rivers to
swim. But tennis? You can't
do that with tennis. You're got
to have a regulation court to

Foreign Steel
Buying Heads
For New Mark.

NEW YORK, April / (AP).-
Foreign steel buying in the
Midwest may hit a record in
the first half of 1859. Iron Age,
national Woodworking weekly,
said today.
Most of the foreign steel is
being offered for May, June and
July delivery, the publication
said. It added that importers
were running into some re-
sistance because of the lateneSs
of delivery promises and price
increases in products in short
supply.
Other comments made by the
magazine:
Mills report an easing in new
order volume this week. This
indicates steel users now know
what they will get or won't get
before June 80, possible steel
strike deadline.
Some Woodworking plants
are not getting enough steel.
They are pressing the mills for
quick delivery on the ground
they are using more steel than
they had expected. and are in
danger of running short.
Despite the tight market,
mills are doing a good job Of
maintaining delivery promises.
Most are only a week behind
on scheduled deliveries. But
this will not be the case by mid
May. Then shipments are ex-
pected to lag by two-to-three
weeks, and some customers may
not receive shipments scheduled
for the last half Of June.

Chrysler Corp. is going into the
glass fabricating business: it
has a smaller car ready for the

Mr.. Colbert said glass fabri-
eating will start early in 1860
