S. Glen Rd.
Pool Plan
Abandoned
By Cissy Morgan
Oliver 2.0427

The Galloway tract on South
Glen I'd. has been abandoned
as the site of the proposed Po-
tomac Community pool.
The action was taken by the
membership of the Potomac
Swimming and Recreation Asso-
citation which voted to look else
where for land.
At a special meeting Sunday,
members were told by Charles
Gasque, the association presi-
dent, that considerable opposi-
ton to the proposed site by
nearby residents centered on
safety hazards presented by
South Glen I'd.
In view of this, he said, the
board of directors felt 1t unwise
to further pursue the proposal
until the membership had been
polled.
At the meeting, Clifford Little
and George Barnes stated the
objections of South Glen resi-
dents.
After a three-hour discussion,
it was voted to direct the board
of directors to withdraw the
option to purchase the Gallo
way property.
1t was pointed out at the meet.
ing that South Glen I'd. was not
suitable to handle the excess
traffic, nor were the six acres
involved spacious enough for the
anticipated growth of the or
ganization.
The citizens of Potomac who
attended this meeting, and really
have the interests Of the com.
munity at heart, found an even
more important reason to be
happy over the outcome. The
residents of South Glen I'd. did
not want the pool in their back
yards" If the pool organization
had continued with their previ.
Gus plans it would have been the
first time that the community
had ever split in half over a
project. The organization should
be commended for its consid'

residents and for their willing
ness to try and please all con-
cerned. Together we stand"
etc.
Starting March 8 the Glen
Gallery of Art will have "old.
style Traditional Japanese
prints" on display. These prints
are all in color and there will
be about so in the collection.
The exhibition was organized by
UNESCO In Paris and has been,
for the past year, circulated
by the Smithsonian Institute
throughout the country. They
will be at the Glen Gallery for
three weeks.
