New Civic
Organization
Is Formed

Formation of a new coun-
ty civic association has been
announced by its first Presi-
dent, Richard w. Averill of
Bethesda. The Suburban
Pulse Club of Montgomery
County held its first meeting
and election at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Jack Polk last week.
The S. P. C. was organized to
study and understand better
ways to solve suburban prob
lens, Averill said. OF immediate
interest will be the examination
of county representation on
both a state and local level.
At the first meeting certain
criticisms of the present county
elective system were voiced, en-
phasizing the need for greater
representation for those heavily
populated areas in the county,
and the preservation of true
representation for all districts.
Other likely areas for study
by this new civic organization
will be the impact Of the growth
of suburban apartment develop
ments, local taxes, and COM
muter transportation facilities,
according to Averill. Through
our pulse finders we hope to
find constructive answers to the
many problems facing our mod
ern, complex communities" he
said. 1--WE hope to concentrate
on those civic problems that are
particularly pressing for our
suburban areas with their ex
plosive population growth and
diverse economic and business
needs"
