Meanwhile, Fig revealed this
week that his 139-acre golf
course, surrounding the apart
ment project, is 10 per cent com.
plete and should be ready for
play by Memorial Day, 1861.
He said he "gambled" on de-
signing and building the course,
before actually getting permits
sion to use the land for a
course, on the ground that the
need was there.
Figs Shady Grove Country
Club, at his Motel Washington
ian, has become too limited for
an ever-increasing clamor for
new memberships, he said.
About 200 member families
belong and there are at least
that many more who want to,
he added.
With an eye toward accom-
modating increased member
ship and, no doubt, as a draw
for tenants of his proposed
apartment, Fig said this week
he will spend Isl million" on
expansion of present club facili-
ties.
Plans are on the board and
not yet final, he said. But the
expanded club could serve a
membership of between 500 and
600, he disclosed. Tentatively
planned are a large cocktail
lounge, ballroom and other at
fractions.

would exceed the county's debt
limitation.
In response to a question, the
manager said he ''had always
felt that the open drainage
bitches should not have been
built"
Other budget recommends
tons include:
. A one-year delay in carry
ing out the five-year library
construction program pending
the adoption of a Master Plan
Of Libraries. He exempted from
this suggestion the Wheaton Ii
brary.
. Establishment of a nine
man police Juvenile Bureau
and a $4,000 appropriation for
Juvenile Court to provide psy-
chiatric testing and treatment
of juvenile offenders.
. Ten more public health
nurses and two additional nurse
assistants.
. Reorganization of the Rec
req ton Department, with three
District Supervisors for Bethes-
da, Silver Spring and Wheaton;
a youth center director and a
new program for "senior citi-
zens."
. Relocation of the liquor
dispensary from CLIO MacAr-
thur blvd. to the Westwood
Shopping Center on westward
ave., and conversion of the pre-
sent dispensary to a public
health clinic.
Reese commented that the
lease for the Silver Spring dis
pensary in the Guardian Build
ing has been renegotiated at a
rent saving of $4,000.

money could be expended for
furniture and equipment re-
placements"
Referring to the School
Boards proposal to place some
employees on a 12-month basis,
Reese urged that the summer
program should be completely
evaluated" before any part of
it is financed.
He warned in this connection
that a 12-month teaching pro-
gram probably would result in
request to air condition many
many schools at a "sizeable"
cost.
The manager said he elimi-
mated the 100000 sought for
planning a new School Board
administration building ''be-
cause two previous budgets
within the past few years have
appropriated $4,000 for PLAN
ming administrative facilities"
In view of this, he added, the
new request seems like a lot
of planning money"
He attributed his cut in class
room television funds to his be-
lief that the amount sought by
the School Board 'fs a means
of absorbing the District of
Columbia's previous contribu-
tons in this program now that
it has withdrawn from partici-
patton"

Reese also made the collateral
comment that he thought any.

political appointment to another
post ought to resign his first
job.
Councilwoman Stella B. Wer'
ner said she ran for Congress
in 1852 while still a member OF

to this was blunt: II always felt
you should have resigned"
The unexpectedly explosive
subject was dropped at that
point.

will show that:
. The County Planning Board
has suggested approval of more
than half of the apartment zon-
ing.
. A booming industrial park

. Public opposition to the

The way for speedy action is

pressed concern that the fig

ture Of how good a job a par

1t was noted that a school
serving a low socio-economic
bracket might show up below
the national norm but still offer
a better school program than
one serving a high socio-eco-
nomic neighborhood and re-
f1ecting an average above the
national norm.
In effect. the educators said,
some schools would tend to be
stigmatized in the public eye
because the pupils in them

While this concern is on a

Northern Virginia's long
awaited juvenile detention CEN
ter. planned for l3 years, will
open November /.
The $206,000 sand-colored
split-level structure on Lin
colnia road in Alexandria will
serve Arlington. Fairfax and
Falls Church as we'll as its
home jurisdiction.
The effort to build the center
dates back to 1947 but civic
opposition to proposed sites
stymied its construction.
A 35-year-old Richmond man
has been named to head the
center'S 16-man staff when it
opens. according to Martin ".
B. Bostetter. jr.. chairman of
the commission that guided the
project.
Joseph C. Bonuccelli, a for

committee headed by Joseph
H. Freehill ran into neighbor-
hood opposition in the An
nandale araa.
Meanwhile, Judge Hugh
Reid of Arlington's Juvenile
Court had pushed the estab-
lishment of the Arlington
Center. which he described in
1855 as only "a stop-gap meas
ure."
Publicity given to a girl i'm
prisoned in an adult Jail pro-
vided added impetus to the
move to build such a center
but progress was stalled until
the General Assembly in 1856
authorized the ven-man Juve-
nile Detention Commission for
Northern Virginia.
Called Invaluable
The cost was shared by the
four jurisdictions. The State
put up $4,000; Alexandria,
$34,748 Arlington, $68,595;
Fairfax. $62,557. and Falls
Church. $4,000. The State will
pay staff salaries, while the
commission will retain owner
ship and administrative power
over the center.
The commission currently in
cludes Robert T. Mitchell and
Mr.. Bostetter of Alexandria:
Mrs. Nan Manning and Mrs.

Has Security Guards
Except for a children's shell
ter at the Arlington County
jail, the nearby Virginia area
has no facilities for holding
runaways or other children ex-
cept to put them in Jail, or in
custody of their parents.
The new facility, designed to
hold % children-l7 boys and
six girls-will end that situa-
tion.
The structure was built by
the Wayne Construction Co., of
Arlington from plans drawn by
Vosbeck & Ward of Alexandria.
The center has its security
measures subtly built in. The
windows are of automobile
type shatterproof glass.
Instead of heavy bars, the
center has what looks like or
dinary screens across its case
ment windows. But they aren't.
They are ape-proof.
Beds will be bolted to the
floor. lights are encaSed in steel
boxes, the toilets have no
seats that can be torn off and

work with pushbutton spigots.

equipment has been installed

But the plea for a redevelop-
