Members of the Rollingwood
Citizens Association last night
decided to build a community
fallout shelter.
The decision came after sew
eral months Of deliberation. ac-
cording to John H. Sharon
president.
I'VE feel that a fallout shell
ter is essential to the welfare OF
the community" Mr.. Sharon
said. land the initiative for
building one is the RESPONSE
bility of the community, not the
Federal or State governments. -
Meetings have been set up
with Federal and county Off
cials, Mr.. Sharon said, to dis
cuss the possibility of financial
help and land grants. Location
of the shelter. he added, would
be as close as possible to Roll
ingwood School.
The SHELTER may be financed
through a stockholders corpo-
ration, Mr.. Sharon said. But in
time of emergency it would be
open to all members of the
Maryland community. he added.
There are 675 families in Roll
ingwood, which has a total pop

them to the basement to accept
Robins challenge.
Pvt. Grasso said he took off
his gun belt and jacket TO

was trying to handcuff the
boys upstairs. The brothers
testified they were unhand-

began arguing about football.
When Robin stood up he was
hit by the policeman, accord

futures market was mostly higher this
week and in some instances more than
recovered the setbacks Of a week ago.
Wheat derived some support from a
still unconfirmed report about mid-week
that Communist China wanted to buy
virtually all the surplus in the United
States. While many traders said they
were not at all impressed by the report
there was sufficient buying credited to
i TO- absorb all offerings readily in
the pit. ..
Also contributing to the support was
trade advice that the Canadian wheat
crop, which was short this year, is going
into the winter again under unfavorable
conditions.
