man of the State Commission
on the Aging and principal
sponsor of the conference. She
urged a full public attendance
at the meeting, and noted that
many groups are planning bus
and auto caravans to the con-
ference site.
THE response from Golden
Age Clubs, church and civic or.
CARNATIONS has been quite en-.
couraging," Mrs. Schweinhaut
said. Reservations received,
thus far, indicate that attend
ance will equal our anticipated
one thousand.
Il strongly urge that all
groups be represented at this
Conference. Caravans of various
groups travelling by motor cars
or buses can make this not only
a serious and profitable occa.
sion, but a social one as we'll"
The two-day session will con-
sist of workshops and discus

nance, medical and health care,
compulsory retirement, housing
and other old age problems;
special panels; and commits.

keynote speaker will give the
conference a "send off" at the
opening session on Wednesday,

Planning Control

Continued from page II
responsiveness and responsible
ty for land planning for the few
dollars we get from the Federal
Government"
Under the commissions pres.
ent setup, money for stream
valley parks is obtained in part
from the Government under
the Capper-Cramton Act. The
agency then matches these
funds with its own bond issues.
AS a substitute for the Fed
eral appropriations, Frosh sug-
gested obtaining money from
State agencies.
Supported by Werner
His statements brought I'M
mediate support from Council
woman Stella B. Werner, a
longtime advocate of county
controlled planning agency.
Il still contend we need our
own planning staff under our
council-manager form of gov.
ernment," she said. Every
other government like ours has
its own planning arm"
She cited the lack of plan
ming assistance in the prepare
ton of the county's capital
budget as a major drawback
under the present system.
I'VE are certainly far behind
with all major plans for the
growth of our county," she said.
Urges Caution
From Councilman William F.
Hickey, however, came a word
of caution.
Il think the technical staff
should remain Independent and
apart from the control of the
county government" he con-
tended; away from any influ-
ence that would interfere with
their freedom of decision"
Similar opposition was voiced
by Councilman Joe M. Kyle.
Il have hoped all along" he
stated, "that we could, through
a new county manager, accom-
plish what Frosh proposes.
Mason Butcher (the newly APP
pointed county manager) pre-.
sents that possibility because of
his personality and ability to
work with people.
I'VE haven't scratched the
surface of what we can do under
the present system. We haven't
asked for regular consultations

Centennial Week

Unpopular Army Band, featur-

Steve Lawrence as its vocalist,
will appear in a concert at the
Broome High School at $3.50
pm, for which no admission
will be charged. The u. S. Army
Chorus also will be featured on
the program.
On Monday night, the observ-
ance will acquire an official
reigning queen when the win

test will be crowned as a pre-
Jude to the premiere perform
ance of Thin Cray Line" Also
to be crowned in the same cere-

the runner-up in the contest,
and the Little Queen" winner
of separate contest for girls
between four and eight years of
age.
Throughout the remainder Of
t. week there will be additional
events to entertain residents
and visitors, including a street
dance, musical performance,
ceremonials of a serious nature
and three parades. The final
parade, scheduled for Saturday,
September 8, at 2:30 pm, is a
climactic phase of the formal
observance and will feature
gaily-decorated floats, bands
and other colorful entries.
With the actual program
near, a mounting air of enthu-
siasm has been detected among
Rockville residents, and Cen
tennial officials have expressed
confidence the fete will receive
strong local support. Hundreds
of male residents have abided
by Mayor Greene's proclama-
ton, calling on them to grow
boards or mustaches in the
spirit of the celebration, and the
Centennial bowlers and sun
bonnets have become more and
more in evidence in recent
weeks.

ing from everywhere. They
would employ teachers, lab tech
nicians, chemists, textile scien'
fists, and business management
counselors. The dream came
true when they built the Insti-
tute in Silver Springs in 1927.
Today, drycleaning is a serv-
ice enjoyed by $3.50 of Ameri-
cans. The Institute has grown
as Montgomery County has
grown. Starting with 25 char
ter members, it now serves $500.
Its schools have graduated
more than $500 men and wom-
en-. most of whom now work in
the drycleaning field.
Various Courses Open
Students may take a 12-week
resident course in general dry
cleaning plant practices, one of
four weeks in plant manage
ment or one of d number of
shorter courses in specific
cleaning services.
The Institute is a sightseeing
landmark for people in the dry.
cleaning business. Cleaners
from overseas consider it a
must" stop in any tour of the
United States. Home economic
classes, school groups and
others find the Commute tour
of the buildings a fascinating
experience, for drycleaning is
something everybody uses but
few understand.
Madame Khrushchev toured
the institute during her visit to
Washington last year. Dryclean-
ing is a curiosity in her coun-
try, Her interest in seeing it
points up the fact that dryclean-
ing is a blessing Americans
take for granted. It's essential
to our high standard of living;
yet behind the Iron Curtain it is
little known.

The National Institute of Dry.
cleaning in Silver Spring is the
educational and research center
of 81 billion industry.
Its big buff buildings on the
corner of Georgia and Burling-
ton aves., are a 32-year-old land
mark for Montgomery County
residents. They house the head
quarters of a trade association
serving $500 members in the
drycleaning business in Al for
eign countries as well as all so
states and all territories of the
United States.
Drycleaning is said to have
been discovered by accident a
little over a century ago in
France. One story is that a
clumsy maid turned over a lamp
on a soiled tablecloth and found
the turpentine cleaned the
cloth. From this beginning has
grown an industry which cares
for clothes in most of the world.
Early Drycleaners Secretive
Early practitioners of dry
cleaning were a secretive lot
who feared and hated competi-
tors. They progressed very little
at first because they couldn't
learn from one another. But in
1907 Is cleaners and dyers de.
cided to quit guarding their
trade secrets and associate.
They met in Milwaukee and
formed the National Association
of Dyers and Cleaners, which
later became the National Insti-
tute of Drycleaning.
Among their earliest dreams
was the establishment of a per-
manent home to house an ''in-
stitute." Here they would equip
laboratories to do research in
drycleaning and textiles.
They would offer resident
courses in a college of dryclean-
