3 Road Agencies Agree
On Freewoy Study Pact

Three area highway agencies
have reached agreement on
major terms of a contract for
a consultant's study on the
location of the North Central
freeway from Wheaton, Md, to
the Inner Loop around down.
town Washington, officials said
today.
Harold Aitken, District High
way Director, said copies Of
the contract have been sent
to the Maryland State Roads
Commission for signing, and
to the Bureau of Public Roads
for final approval.
Coordination Needed
The contract should be signed
within the next few weeks,
and calls for completion of
the study within nine months.
If the consultant starts work
in September, the recommends
lions on the controversial loca-
ton should be completed. by
next May.
The terms of the contract

call for close coordination with

portation Agency. The con-
sultant, j. E. Greiner of Balti-

proposals in developing his rec
ommendation."
The Bureau of Public Roads
has already inspected the con-
tract, and little trouble is ex-
pected in receiving final clear
ance.
Last May the Maryland State
Roads Commission announced
an agreement had been signed
between the Commission and
the District for participation
in the study. The Montgomery
County Planning Board "froze"
building permits along tht pro-
posed route. Later, when it
was learned that unexpected
delays had occurred before the
final signing of the contract
for the study, the Planning
Board approved one permit
which was near the proposed
route in Silver Spring.
The location study is a pre-
liminary step before approval
is given for a route before In
terstate 70-s is brought into
the District.
Two Routes Studied
Two controversial routes are
proposed for Interstate 70-s.
The Wisconsin avenue corridor
has bene rejected by the Mary
land and District officials, but
several planning groups favor
the route.
There have been two previous
studies of the Wisconsin ave-
nue. route. The Greiner con-
tract will be an engineering
feasibility" study, to determine
where the freeway could be
built from Wheaton, through
Silver Spring, and into the Dis
trict.
The consultant is to study
the area between Sixteenth
street NV. and the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad in the District
His area of study is to end at
Georgia avenue and Arcola
avenue, north of Silver Spring
Officials plan to have con-
sultants bring up to date later
the previous studies of the Wis
consin avenue corridor before
a final decision is made be-
tween the two controversial,
lroutes.

teen-agers between the

want to work in their spare
time? People keep saying
the fate Of our country will
be In our hands in a few
years, and that we don't
know how to work.
Well how can we learn
IL people will not give us
the chance? It seems we
just about have to be out
Of high school before we
can get jobs, and 1 don't
think that is fair. A lot of
us are not juvenile delin-
quents, and do not enjoy
being idle.
So IL people want us to
grow up to be solid citizens,
they should be more I'M

us the opportunity to work
when we have the time. 1

What time do you think a

MICKEY.
Growing youngsters should
get plenty of sleep, but $3.50
does seem a little early for
you to go to bed. However,
a lot depends on what time
you have to get up in the
morning. If you can persuade
Nom and Dad to agree that
nine hours sleep is about
right for a boy of your age,
you should be able to work
out a reasonable bed time.
Dear Mrs. Kicker:

she gets an allowance but
it is not large. She keeps

and other things which

The next time your girl

and ask why she doesn't
take it home. She may say
something about not want

she bought it. In that case,
I would ask her point-blank
where she got the money.
Perh laps you haven t
thought of this, but if she
is shoplifting, as you sus-

might bring you into the

thing about a boy their
daughter dates, but it should
be about his reputation,
morals and manners. They
should not try to get this
information from the boy
himself, however; it would
embarrasS him and perhaps
he would not answer these
questions truthfully anyway.
Tell your mother that
most of the questions she
is asking your dates are
rude and the boys rightfully
resent them. If she will not
listen to you, ask for Dads
help. He should understand
