Sparkling New Plaza Shop Center

all unhappy that the Merrimack
Construction Co: plans to erect
400 homes and apartments
right behind the Plaza. This
potential market would almost
guarantee a sustained level of
customer purchases rom the
Plaza's wide variety of shops
and services.
The diversity Of services and
merchandise available can be
appreciated by taking an mag
mary tour OF the site. A
shopper could leave one child in
the dentists office and another
in one of the doctors offices for
cfecks-ups while he or she first
dropped off the laundry and
then prefaced a dancing lesson
with a brisk game of duckpins
at the Plaza's 28-lane bowling
alley.
OF course, the stores to be
patronised offer merchandise
too numerous to mention.
The Plaza has three en-

The size of the Congress
sional Plaza can be visual
lied by comparing its mini
mum number of 1900 park
ing spaces to the 224 spaces
behind the Rockville build
ing.
Indeed, when vacant, the
parking lot looks almost like
a black-topped version Of the
airport 1t used to be. The old
Congressional Airport, owned
by Arthur S. Hyde, was closed
last year because of encroach-
ing suburbia.
When all Of the proposed
stores and other buildings are
completed, the Plaza will have
a quarter.million square feet of
selling space. Some idea of the
Plaza's gross yearly income can
be obtained by using the bust
nessman's formula that every
1000 square feet of selling
space can bring In 100000.

and is probably the most improved player in

MacCartee, recipient of the Touchdown
Clubs outstanding football player award, bolted
from sixth man in his junior year to one of
the best backcourt players in the Metropolitan
area. Butch was the backbone of the team He
set two school scoring records and was the
teams leader, too.
The Barons won six in row then dropped
two straight to DeMatha and Bladensburg
Against Bladensburg they turned in their worst
performance of the season in losing by lop
sided 1856 score
The Barons snapped back winning six
more before being upset by Wheaton 1856.
The loss to Wheaton put the heat on for Be.
thesda They were dropped from the Bi-County
League lead and faced do-or-die situation in
their next three league games.
Bladensburg with a chance to come
home standing up, was knocked off by
Blair and High Point. Bethesda whipped
them on the BarOn's home court and drew
into a tie with Northwood for the league
lead. Walter Johnson upset NorthwOOd for
the second time In the season and the
BarOns whipped arch rival Blair to win
the BiCOunty and get a bid to the state
championship.
In the tournament the Barons ran like deer

Howard County.
They compare this team with other B-CC

Of Fools l11slz Xmas
By George Bragaw
Sports Editor

No matter how you pound it, cut it, flip it,
or shave it, this B-CC basketball team can
throw mighty strong argument in the craws
of any detractors, comparers and the like
they won.
And when they look back in future years
and examine the records it won't show to whom
Howard County lost, or who broke or sprained
who's ankle in what year. It'll just say: Mary.
land Class State Champions, Bethesda Chevy
Chase.
In way it is shame what B-CC has won
and that the seasons play is all over. In an.
other three to five games the Barons, improv-
ing as they were with each game, might have
been even better.
1t was refreshing to see team run,
shoot and score and that's just what the
BarOns did better than anybody else. In
the final games the Barons fast break was
clicking to perfection and it was a beau.
tiful thing to watch compared with the
control game i'm general use hereabouts.
The Barons didn't have any big scholastic
names in their lineup and only one boy Butch
MacCartee, had seen much action in previous
seasons Butch was sixth man on the SO team
and Fred Role was also on the squad On the
eve of the first game with Wakefield, new
coach Floris DAVIDSON wasn't even sure of his
starting lineup.
The Barons lost the opener, $751; to fair
Wakefield team. Then they put in barrage of
points in the final three minutes of their first
Bi-County League contest against Walter john
son and Dave Young won it 1854 on jump
shot in the final second. DAVIDSON thinks that
maybe the WI victory was the crucial one, and
the Barons began to improve steadily as the
season progressed.
Besides MacCartee and Role who were
sometimes replaced by Don Kruger depending
on the game situation, the starting five was
composed of Dave Young, Brad Brooks and
Make Jaeko. All three were up from the JVs.
Young is the brother of Jim Young, former
Santa Clara ace and Wilson High star Brad
Brooks was running second string for the JV's

The Rockville Recreation De
partment's City League finished
their most successful season
this past week. The program
had 50 teams and approximate
ly 600 boys competing.
st. Mary's A won the 12-team
PeeWee league by defeating the
Cadets, 1913, and the Buckeyes,
1871, in a second half champions
ship playoff last week. St
Mary's had won the first half
championship. st. Mary's broke
an 8-8 deadlock late in the third
quarter behind the scoring OF
Bobby Spencer and Jerry Capka
to defeat the Cadets.
st. Peters Olney won both
halves of the Midget league sea,
son to take that title. Coached
by Percy Willett, st. Peters was
unbeaten.
Lone Oak, coached by Charlie
Whitaker, repeated as champs
of the Rockville Elementary
league winning ID straight
games.
The Rockville Civilians were
also unbeaten and won the Sew.
enth Grade championship with
IA straight wins. Gar Kline was
the Civitan coach.
Other leagues weren't SO clear
cut. st. Peters had to defeat
st. Mary's in a playoff to take
the Junior High championship
and st. Jude's defeated Christ

Church league title in another

arm in the eighth game of the
season.
Norris, a junior right handler,
was number three hurler last
season but saw little action.
Catcher Frank Cornelius returns
as does Larry French, a utility
infielder last season. French is
a strong fielder and will be
tried out at second, short or
third.
Among promising candidates
are Bobby carp, who looks good
in the outfield and Jan Hutchin-

or third.

Ward and Abrahams in their

to be as strong in the seconds
and thirds as last season.

the County Police Association
and Fortuna Shoes last week to
earn a spot in the Metropolitan

right to play Hanrahan Insur-
ance in the finals of the County

ship tournament.
Hanrahan undefeated in the
tournament defeated the Sen
tinels, ISL, earlier in the tour
nament. Hanrahan would have
to lose two straight games to
the Sentinels to lose the league
championship.
The Sentinels trailed Fortuna
until the last five minutes of
play last Saturday. Fortuna
took an early lead and held a
1881 halftime advantage. The
Sentinels closed the margin to
three points at the beginning of
the second half but Fortuna,
mostly on the shooting of
George Shugars opened a nine
point margin with 10 minutes
left.
Jack Keller scored two quick
baskets and Don Benson added
"a foul shot to tie the score at
60-60 with six minutes remain
ing. Fortuna went ahead again
by four but Bopst, who scored
80 for the evening, hit for 10
points in the last minutes to
give the Sentinels a 77-73 win.
In an earlier game, the Police
Association jumped into an
early 1872 lead over the Sen
tinels but the margin was cut
to 1921 by halftime. Jack
Kelly scored on two straight
jumps to put the Sentinels in a
temporary lead, 1881, midway
in the second half. The lead
changed hands six times and
the score was tied nine times

Farm Ponds are Much in Vogue
FAIR SUPPLEMENT-

Many motorists driving
through Montgomery County
farmland have noted in passing
huge, gaping holes gouged out
of the earth and no sign of build
ing materials or construction.
What gives? Dry oil holes, or
sites of meteor hits? No, what
they are seeing in increasing
numbers are first construction
phases of farm ponds.
Farm ponds are growing pop
ular in Maryland. There are an
estimated 200 in the state with
plans for more continuing at the
rate of about 300 year.
Most range from one-half acre
to one and one-third acres in
size. They can offer fire pro-
lection to the isolated farmer
far from the city fire depart
ment, water for livestock, fish
production, irrigation and just
plain old fun.
There are five major points
to be considered before contem-
plating construction of farm
pond: Will there be enough
water to keep the pond full at
all times? Is the soil material
suitable? Is the proposed loca-
ton suitable for use by fire
fighting equipment in all sea-
sons? Can the water supply be
kept clean and free from mud
and silt? Will The location and
design comply with State laws?
Answers to these questions
are supplied by the local Soil
Conservation Districts, the
County Agricultural Agent, or
the Soil Conservation Service Of
flee.
Either of these agencies can
survey individual plans and
stake out the most desirable
site on a farm. Conservation
sources offer a wealth of infor-
nation about how to build
ponds.
