Pinneberg from P.l
German Visit
Is Described

was looking forward to more
Rockville watermelons this sum
mer. It was a deIicacy that he
had not known before.
Roses are the speciality of
Pinneberg and they ship them
and other shrubs and trees
they grow - all over the world.
The city has presented some
of its beautiful roses to Rock
vile. They are planted at the
Civic Center here. Glissmann
told us Pinneberg would send
additional roses to Rockville
every year.
He was intensely interested in
Rockville's gift to Pinneberg -
about Is dogwood trees that
we had been privileged to pre-
sent in a formal ceremony the
day before at City Hall. AL
though Pinneberg is famed for
its horticultural know-how, the
burgomeister was unfamiliar
with the beautiful dogwood tree.
So in the best layman's Ian
guage we could muster, we tried
to describe to him the delicate
beauty of white dogwood bios
SONS in the spring.
Revealing justifiable pride in
his own city's beautiful rose
garden that we saw during our
visit, Glissmann voiced the hope
that all Rockville residents
could come to Pinneberg to see
the city's 'Rosengarten."
Glissmann told us, also with
pride, about the forthcoming
ceremony, at which the long
needed, new city high school
will be launched. 1t will cost
SIS million and contain "a
classrooms = along with special
rooms for physics, chemistry,
art, music and gymnasium.
While we were there, Gliss-
mann and an aide went over
the language of a statement
that would be laid in the
schools cornerstone.
Describing the year 1860 for
someone who will read it at
some far-off time in the future,
the statement told of Pinne-
berg's hopes for peace. Human
dignity" the statement said,
''has been damaged by two
World wars :" 1t went on:
1--WE are afraid of big forces
of the world which are able to
destroy in few minutes what
ii has taken man centuries to
establish :"
We could not help but think
II would be more significant for
Rockville residents TO 20 to
Pinneberg to learn first hand
of Pinneberg's ardent hopes for
peace. They are a democratic
people, sick of war and its ter.
rible aftermaths.
The Importance of residents
of each SISTER City" recogniz-
ing this wish on the part of
both cities is the reason Presi.
dent Eisenhower started the
People-to-People program about
three years ago. And it is the
reason why top officials of both
sister cities urgently want the
program to succeed.

partment attorney David E.
Belts said this income just
about carries upkeep on tie

Approximate working capital

$4,000, almost all of which rep
resents carnival receipts.
New equipment and replace

most all the cash income of the
department. The departments
new pumper with it's mounted
high velocity nozzle, for in
stance, cost nearly $4,000.
Despite its limited funds,
however, the RVFD is faced
with an undeniable need for ex-
pansion to do its job. This fact
was highlighted in the recent
preliminary master plan for
Rockville, which stated "The
additional workload ;" and
'the enlarged area to be served
:" are the reasons that, "the
need for additional fire protec-
ton has become increasingly
apparent"
Only last year the depar
ment was forced to build an
addition to its present head
quarters to house its rescue
truck, an older ambulance and
its OutbOard motOrboat used for
floods and river work.
A spokesman for. the depart
ment said it probably has
enough equipment to serve two
stations, but that more would
be needed as the city continues
to grow.
The present firehouse is To-
Gated in the old, central business
district, relatively far from the
mushrooming SUI b divisions
along Veirs Mill I'd. and Rock
vile Pike in the city's south
eastern sections.
A second station on Halpine
I'd. would slash many minutes,
in some cases, from the time it
takes fire fighters to reach
homes in the city's southern
limits and in the areas south
and east of the city that are
also in the departments serv-
ice area.
The proposed site lies in res
dentially zoned land occupying
a narrow wooded strip that par
allels city limits along Halpine
I'd, according to Belts. Busy
Ardennes ave-, near the new
site, is one of the streets thai
drains heavy Twinbrook iowa. d
Veirs Mill I'd.
The type of residential coming
at the proposed site allows con-
struction of public facilities, ac-
cording to Belts. But in the fl
nal essence, the county mot
the city-is the body that can
say yes or no to construction of
the station, according to a high
city official.
He compared the county's
coming authority in Incorporate
ed Rockville to authority of the
federal government which can
pretty well build where and
when it wants to, regardless of
objections of local authorities.
An official at the Park and
Planning Commission con-
firmed this opinion, and ex-
planned that generally, where a
government is larger than its
"host" government, projected
buildings to be used by the
larger government can be ex-
empted from local coming and
other restrictions.
AS Is always the case when
fire departments relocate or
build new facilities in residen-
tial neighborhoods, homeowners
object on the grounds of noisy
fire sirens and danger to chill
dren from speeding fire trucks.
This reaction can be expected
from Twinbrook residents If
the proposed site is finally Sc
lected and presented to the
county council.
