Regional Park
Plans Told
BY Hewitt

Parks Director John Hewitt
expects Old MacDonald's Farm
in the Wheaton Regional Park
and the active children's area
to be ready for visitors about
May Is. New baby domestic
animals will be obtained for the
farm" and the miniature train,
with its two-mile scenic ride
through part of the park and
along the lake, will be ready
by then, too, it is hoped.
New types of play equipment,
including the possibility of a
fence enclosed shower-cooler for
small tots, are planned for this
year. In addition, the five-acre
lake will be stocked and ready
for fishing by summer. Hewitt
warned all over 16 years of age
who want to fish to obtain a
Maryland fishing license.
Several miles of riding trails
run through the park now, and
the Commission is quite proud
of the riding stable on Kemp
Mill road - a sta BILE which
houses the only public indoor
riding rink in the easter
United States.
The large campsite area on
Kemp Mill Road will again be
available to public and private
groups. The camping facility is
County area and not for tour
lists.
In the active recreation area
off of Arcola Avenue at Ore
baugh St, Hewitt stated of six
ball fields planned, two will be
lighted this summer-one soft
ball and one hard ball. Six
quick-dry tennis courts will be
added and a concession house
which will house showers for
visiting teams will be set for
use this summer. Plans for this
facility are being developed by
the Park & Planning Commits
sion.

The theater, said the Presi-

force in articulating mems
hopes and visions and in en-
abling them to deal with the
complexities of their lives"
Pointing out that the theater
has played a major role in
every historic age, he said: ITO

Rail transit lines are

voted for planning a transit
development program for the
National Capital Transporta-
ton Agency.
Last November, that agency
told President Kennedy 1t
was recommending a 98-mile
rail transit system, expected
at that time to cost around
S793 million. Congress In
the months to come will re-
view this proposal, and con-
slider financing proposals.
Whatever balance is chosen,
the $2.5 billion estimate is
roughly accurate.
So with the theme that
financing seems safe for
freeways and tentative for
transit, here is what the
population and transporta-
ton picture looks like by the
Year 1000, for the following
jurisdictions:
FAIRFAX COUNTY-The
1860 population Of 363,697 is
expected to hit 658,000 in
1880 and to be 100000 by
the Year 1000 (including
Alexandria and Falls Church,.
The 1859 MTS recon-
mended spending $318.2 mil
lion on freeways, parkWays
and major streets here by
1880. This total may not be
spent by 1880, but at least
this much is a gleam in the
planners eyes.
Major freeways through
Fairfax County include In
terstate Routes 95 and 66.
Route 95 will be the extern
sion of Shirley highway and
is expected to be opened for
traffic from Richmond to
Washington in the next few
years. Money is available
and major shopping centers
are expected rear each inter-
change.
Interstate Route Sc slso
should be finished in the next
year, as far as the Capital
beltway. From the beltway
through to the two bridge
crossings, completion will be
in segments. However, the
complete artery should be
finished by 1869.
Another major freeway is
the Dulles access road
through the Herndon area.
However, this freeway now
is closed to commuter traffic.
Enough land has been pur-
chased for a commuter road
way alongside the access
road, and the carefully
planned community Of Res
ton will be able to use any
new route.

are proposed, one using the

Committing in the Future
By LEE FLOR
Stor Stoff Writer

Every home buyer in the
Washington Area has an in
dividual stake of at least
$4,000 In transportation
plans for the future.
The $4,000 is the average
family's slice Of the $2.5 bill
lion pie Of regional freeways
and transit lines expected to
be built in the next 40 years.
Because q person who set
ties on a home this year may
expect many thousands more
to move into sites further
out In the years to come,
transportation to and from
work can become a huge
lottery.
II q person selects the
right site, he can expect easy
committing In the future. If
he moves near an already
overcrowded freeway, or II
he lives too far from q pro-
posed transit line, he can
expect an agonizing trip to
and from work every day.
Seeking Guideposts
That's why transportation
planners are peering so des-
perately into their crystal
balls, trying to figure out how
people win live and work in
the future.
This Is an attempt to take
some Of the guesswork out Of
the transportation picture
for the prospective home
purchaser, to give him a sort
Of status report on plans for
his committing future.
First Of all, q massive sys-
tenn Of freeways is under
construction In the National
Capital region.
Financing for most Of the
freeway system Is assured
through user taxes paid by
the rnotorist on every gallon
Of gas purchased. These user
taxes pay for almost all road
construction, with very little
financing from real estate
taxes.
TIE 1859 Mass Transporta-
ton System proposed q high
way system, including park
ing, costing around 81 bill
lion, and these recommended
tions 80 far have not been
rejected In the suburbs. In
the District, there is q fierce
debate over some Of the free
way routes near downtown.
Rail Funds Held Up
On the rail- transit front.
financing has yet to be ap-
proved by Congress. A pre-
vious financing proposal for
a $685. million rail transit
system was rejected by Con-
gress in 1860, but funds were

ARLINGTON COUNTY -
The population here was 163,-
401 in 1860, and is expected to
reach 10000 in 1880 and
100000 in the Year 1000.
The major freeways from
Fairfax County are expected
to funnel through here. A
Pimmit Run freeway and an
Arizona Avenue Bridge now
are under consideration, along
with another bridge at
Reaches Run near Shirley
highway. The only freeways
with financing are Route
66 and Shirley. The widen
ing of Shirley so peak-hour
traffic will have five lanes Is
expected to be completed by
1870.
The 1859 MTS estimated
highway costs are expected
to be around $185.6 million.

posed rail transit line will go

We took Aunt Mollie in to look
at Hearing Aids. She has been hav-
ing more and more trouble lately
and we've had to turn the T-V
louder and louder for her, and
snCs been having trouble under
standing the minister in church. 1
believe this last is the reason she
finally consented to try out a
hearing aid. The first thing the
pharmacist did before checking her
with his audiometer was to tell
her that if she got hearing aid
it was more for the sake of her
friends and family than for her
own sake. l guess he's right, be-
cause we've all been more inter
ested in her getting an Aid than
she has.
The hearing test was so simple
and it only took ten minutes. Aunt
MOllic held an earphone to her
ear and raised her hand whenever
she could hear the buzzer in the
Audiomctcr. After both ears we're
checked. she was shown a dia-
gram of her hearing loss. From
her test chart the pharmacist chose
the hearing aid he thought She
could hear from the best and let
her try it.
The whole family took turns
reading a list of words to Aunt
Mollic and she repeated back the
words she could understand while
the pharmacist adjusted the hear
