To Get New
Post Office

Postmaster General Arthur f.
Summerfield announced this
week that a contract has been
signed for the construction and
lease to the Post Office De-
partment of a new Post Office
building in Clarksburg.
The successful bidder is VIII
peco Properties, Inc, of Balti-
more. Ground breaking and con-
struction of the new post office
is expected to begin in the near
future, with completion due
about June, 1861. The lease will
run for 10 years, with renewal
options.
This modern post office will
be located on the northeast side
Of Route 355. 1t win provide
1887 square feet Of interior
space. an outside loading plat
form, and ample hard-surfaced
space for parking and truck
maneuvering. Specifications call
for new modern lighting and
equipment, including a low,
open patron-service counter.
Postmaster General Summer
field pointed out that the postal
facility to be built in Clarks-
burg is typical Of many others
going up elsewhere throughout
the country. These new post
Offices" he said, contain not
only the modern patron-service
counters and eye-saving fluores-
cent lighting, but provision is
made for patron service after

In Public Life
Flexible attitude
Aduised for Women

A member Of the Mont
gomery County Council,
Mrs. Stella B. Werner, has
cautioned women who are
college graduates against a
rigid attitude" in public affairs.
Writing in the Goucher Col
lege Alumnae Quarterly, Mrs.
Werner warns, "To many wom-
en- college graduates things are
either black or white; there is
rigidity in expecting the ideal
situation and unwilIingness to
accept a gradual approach .
to accept the better when the
best is not possible"
Mrs. Werner continues: This
is perhaps one reason college
women shun active party work,
unwilling to align themselves
with a group all Of whom are
not acceptable to them or a pro-
gram all Of which is not
pleasing. They fail to see that
they can work toward improve
ment and they must start with
what Is there"
Requested by Magazine
Mrs. Werners article was re-
quested by the Goucher publica-
ton as report on whether her
experiences In Montgomery
County substantiate a statement
by Judge Mary Conlon in the
Journal Of the American Associ-
alton of University Women.
Judge Conlon said she has "al-
ways thought that university
women can become exceptional
in politics."

and savings.
The study was proposed this
week in a letter sent to the
heads of county organizations
by Walter Hess, who will be-
come president of the Bethesda
Chevy Chase unit on Sunday. 1t
announced plans for luncheon
meeting to be held January at
1890 pm. at the Kenwood
Country Club for the purpose
of discussing the possibilities of
joint action.
The project will be headed by
Cecil r. Yates, certified pub
lie accountant. who is chair
man of the chambers budget
committee.
Cites Serious Problem
"Our county tax situation is
becoming very serious prob
lem with an annual increase an
ticipated for many years to
come" Hess said in his letter of
invitation. THE Bethesda Chevy
Chase Chamber of Commerce
plans to give the proposed 1861
budget some serious study and
consideration with the hope we
might make some constructive
suggestions as to increased eff
cheney or savings or possibly
both.
Undoubtedly your organiZa-
ton is planning to take some
similar action" Hess continued.
1T occurred to us that If all the
business and civic groups in the
county made this a joint effort,
we could do a much better job
at less expense to all of u.s."
The luncheon invitation was
extended to the heads of the
various organizations contacted
by Hess and their budget chair
men.

County women have not SHE'D

Lads Death
Spurs Plea
For Study

Spurred by the tragic
death of a small boy after
being struck by a truck on
West Montgomery ave. In
Rockville last week, Rock
vile Mayor Alexander J. Greene
has appealed to the State Roads
Commission to give the high
est priority" to proposed traffic
studies in the area.
In a letter to SRC Director
John B. Funk, Mayor Greene
cited the lads death in calling
for an early solution to a prob
lem arising from the heavy use
of the thoroughfare by trucks
travelling between Route 70-S,
also designated as US. Route
240, and urban areas of Mont
gomery County.
Mayor Greene previously had
suggested use of Shady Grove
I'd. and Route 355 as a bypass
around the congested section
Of Montgomery ave. and down
town Rockville, and creation of
a "no-passing" zone on Mont
gomery ave. west Of Laird st.
to its intersection with Hunger
ford DIR. Also proposed was a
traffic signal at the junction of
Montgomery ave. and Route
189.
Referring to Funk's indica-
don that a study would be con-
Quoted, Mayor Greene said II
mot over emphasize the
urgency of this situation" Con-
corning last weeks fatality, he
added, 1T IL unfortunate that
our problem has been drama
tized, but we must all cooperate
to prevent such an event from
ever happening again."
In conclusion, the mayor
wrote: II therefore most strong
ly urge that your staff assign

so that an early solution may
be obtained"

its first major test last week

The trucks four-wheel-drive,
