The builder, a member of the
council, brought into the open
the argument over the future of
highways versus rapid transit
in the metropolitan area an
argument in which Gingery
said suburban planners aren't
going to be "bamboozled" by
rapid transit proponents at
tempts to abandon plans for new
highways.
He directed his remarks to-
wards c. Darwin Stolzenbach,
director of the National Capital
Transportation Agency, and said
he feared the transportation
agency has become "a hybrid
monster that is not going to
work with u.s."
Stolzenbach was appearing be.
for the planning group to ask
its cooperation and guidance in
the NCTA's planning program.
Following the request, Gingery
grabbed the spade.
In reply, Stolzenbach said
Gingery was making "a ridicu-
lous assumption" in saying the
agency was planning to aban-
don highways and added the
charges reflect on the integ-
rity' of the Meta.
After a question and answer
period in which Gingery asked
and Stolzenbach and Gingery
answered, the council passed a
motion pledging cooperation
Nith tile transportation agency.
Gingery abstained from voting.
Later, when Stolzenbach had
gone, the council voted to order
Stolzenbach-if he makes any
changes in plans already pro-
posed by the council, including
highway plans--to bring those
plans to the council for exam
ination before making them
public.
During the question and an
swer period, Gingery wanted to
know:
Why haven't plans for Dis
trict subway been brought be-
fore Maryland and Virginia

by District transportation
plans?
Why have META planners put
aside the 1859 mass transporta-
ito nsurvey?

way plans are being abandoned?
Stolzenbach said District sub
way plans are not ready to
show anyone. When they are
they will be brought to planners.
No highways, he said, are be-
ing abandoned.

Although James Giles ap.

Fund Money Pouring Ilto SentHeI's Office
Spells Happiness for Elderly Citizens

The Montgomery County
S e n t lin els First Annual
Christmas Fund For 80 is
going great guns.
This fund, which we hope
will reach $1,000, will be used
to buy Christmas gifts for more
than 80 senior citizens who are
in private nursing homes placed
there by the County. Most of
them are without families or
friends.
There are many fine organi-
cations who do wonderful
things for many groups at
Christmas time and all through
the year. However, because the
County does not have a County
Home for the Aged, there is a
tendency on the part of many
to fail to realize that there are
very fine older citizens who
must be supported by public
funds in private nursing homes
at very low fee.
All of these wonderful indi-
viduals have lived happy useful
lives. Through no circumstances
of their own choosing, they now
need assistance because they
have lived more years than
their loved ones in some cases
and their sources of income has
either stopped or been depleted
because of long illnesses. What
Montgomery County sentinel., 1961-12-14

ever the cause for their present
circumstances, you can be sure
that all of them have provided
much happiness and much use
full help to many persons dur
ing their long lives.
Committee to Buy Gifts
A committee of women in the
county have agreed to use every
penny that is collected through
this campaign to buy useful and
wanted gifts and present them
to these fellow elder citizens.
And we are sure that everyone
who gives-and it doesn't make
any difference what amount you
can spare-will feel better for
having remembered a group of
older citizens. 1t surely will
make Christmas morning a bit
brighter and happier for them.
Miss Isabel Dexter
We don't believe Miss Isabel
Dexter will mind if we tell you
little about her. She is a great
and enthusiastic person who
has done more for young people
in the field of art than anyone
we know.
Miss Dexter is now at the Bel
Pre- Nursing Home. 1t is beau
tiful place. And you can be sure
that Miss Dexters sparkling
personality adds to the happi-
ness of those guests lucky
enough to live there.
Montgomery County sentinel., 1961-12-14

In the last few days, many
dollars have come in from all
sections of the county. Letters
have accompanied many of the
gifts and we reprint just a few
to show the spirit expressed:
Enclosed is a small check
for the Christmas Fund for 80.
This donation is In memory of
my dearly beloved mother who
left me three years ago at the
age Of 80 years, II months and
l week.
"In my estimation it is good
thing to list the names of the
donors as this might be an add
ed incentive to some people to
send in contribution when
they see that their friends and
associates have already done so.
where may l obtain the
name of the Nursing Home
nearest to me where some of
these elder citizens might be
found? 1t is my desire to spon.
sor one or two of these fine
folks as a memorial to my own
dear mother"

Miss Dexter and her sister,
the late Mrs. Walton, for years
conducted an art gallery in Be

Flower ave. in Silver Spring.
They named their gallery, the
Silver Spring Art Gallery.
These two women taught lit

there must be hundreds of them
who remember Mrs. Walton and
Miss Dexter. They made a great
fuss over the children and we
are convinced that this was one
of the things that kept these
two women so enthusiastic for
so long.
Not only did this gallery at.

Problems of how to make
a good neighbor" of a pro-
posed giant incinerator at
Southlawn to handle the
county's trash disposal con-
tinued to plague the County
Council this week.
Having travelled as far as
Long Island within recent
weeks to inspect outstanding
examples of modern incinerator
design and operation, both
Council members and their staff
were still faced with the ques-
tions OF how to get refuse from
throughout the county to the in.
cinerator and what type of zon.
ing to apply to any ground 1t
occupies.
The Council devoted more
than an hour of its meeting
this week to discussion OF ad.
vanced designs in incinerators
which members inspected on a
recent tour of Philadelphia,
Whitemarsh Township, Pa, and
Hampstead, L. l., N. Y.
Special attention was given to
so-called "1ow.profile" incinera-
tor plants constructed without
the conventional 150-200-ft.

tionable in many localities.

Commenting on his personal
inspection of the Philadelphia

Establishment of another

sion.
The site is bounded by Old
Georgetown rd. on the west,
70-S on the south and George
town Preparatory School on
the east.
Council member Stanley 3.
frosh introduced the sugges.
tion for coordinated use of the
entire $50 acres, praising as
"far-reachingp the Planning
Commissions recommendation
that the site be broken up as
follows:
One hundred acres as an edu.
cational reserve, 100 as a gov
ernment employment center and
AZ or so as a home for the coun-
TVS Art Center.
He said educators have ex.
pressed concern over the few
accredited college facilities in
Maryland, and suggested that
Johns Hopkins University. the
University of Maryland or out
side colleges might be interested
in establishing campuses on the
site.
The Art Center, which has
been seeking a permanent
home, would profif from being
situated on a university cam
pus, he pointed out.
Frosh cited the sites prox-
unity to the National Institutes
of Health, the Bethesda Naval
Hospital and the burgeoning
research and development facili-
ties In the northern part of the
county as factors which might
induce a university to set up
branch here.
Although Council president
David Cahoon and Councilwon-
an Stella Werner expressed
concern at planning "prema-
turely" for use of the land and
indicated they were "reluctantD
to endorse any site right now,
they agreed with Frosh's sug-
gestion that existing colleges be
approached to see II they have
any interest in locating in this
area.
County Manager Mason
Butcher was asked to contact
the colleges about using the
complex OF land. The Council
will schedule the proposal for
after they are
briefed on the entire master
plan.
A hearing on the plan has

Get Cut In
Water Rate
Mayor and Council
Cut Bill by Two Cents


The Rockville Mayor and
City Council this week voted
a small Christmas present to
the community they serve
a 2-cent reduction in water
rates, to 38 cents per 1000
gallons.
The cut from the former 40
cent rate was authorized when
the city heads learned that rev.
enues from Rockville's water
system are running ahead of
schedule.
It will take effect with the
March / seni-annual billing, re-
flecting charges for water used
since last September.
To the average householder,
who uses about 10000 gallons
of the city's water each year, it
will mean the difference be-
tween an annual bill of $28 and
$26.60.
In other action at their meet
ing this week, the mayor and
council authorized its staff to
work out the details of irnple.
menting an offer from builder
Donald E. Gingery to construct
recreational facilities on 1.3
acres of land on the site of his
Courthouse Square Apartments.
Gingery is also offering $4,000
to be held in escrow for the pur-
chase of additional acreage in
the city for recreational use.
The city heads also unani-
mously refused to reconsider
their denial of zoning which
would permit Gingery to build
a 567.unit apartment develop
ment on Rockville Pike. The
builders petition for reconsider
alton argued that the mayor
and council had not acted on
the basis of the zoning applica-
tons merits but on the strength
of the opposition to it.
City Manager Walter Scheib-
er announced that the new City
Hall is expected to be complet-
ed and ready for occupancy by
January Is.

ball has been regarded in orthodox baseball circles
as sissy kid brother of hardball its supporters 25
million strong, if you include all spectators at ANA

more vociferous about their pitching heroes. They've
pointed out, for example, that softbal pitchers rack
up more strkeouts than hardball hurlers.
No wonder, scof the hardball fans - look at the
difference in the throwing distance. While the
