Community service, interna-
tional service, club service and
vocational service are the four
main points of Rotary Clubs
throughout the world, and un.
der the presidency of DR.. Harold
A. Eskew, the Silver Spring

tive year in these four phases.
DR.. Eskew, who took office
earlier this month, in detailing
some of the plans for the Silver

pride in the fact that a student,

New Shop
Center Will
Open Soon

A shopping center provid-
ing the largest APP store in
Montgomery County and at
least ten other retail outlets,
none of which will duplicate
the other, is scheduled to
open in the fast-growing
Randolph Hills area around
id-September.
According to Morris Perlmut.
ter, a veteran of so years in the
construction business who is the
planner and developer of the
project, opening of the center
will bear out his long-range pre-.
dictions that Randolph Hills
eventually would become a com.
pletely Independent community,
with all major facilities avail.
able to its residents.
In addition to the shopping
facilities, which will be expand
ed from time to time, the initial
project will include some office
space. Current plans call for
leases which will provide the
area with the services of a
doctor, a pediatrician and a
dentist.
Located in a 26-acre area off
Rocking Horse Road about half
way between Viers Mill Road
and Rockville Pike, the center
already has been assured of
occupancy by a large drug store,
a restaurant, beauty parlor and
a barber shop in addition to the
APP grocery store among it's
retail facilities. Tentative ar.
rangements are under way for
additional stores providing
women's and children's apparel,
mems and boys clothing, a gift
shop and a radio and television
sales and service outlet.
In addition, one Of the first
expansion moves will provide
for a theater which will be the
largest in the county, according
to the sponsors.
The center not only will serve
Randolph Hills, occupied by
some 10000 persons, but will be
the nearest complete shopping
center available to residents
across Viers Mill Road from the
development as the result of a
recent extension of Randolph
Road, a representative of the
builder said.
With both elementary and
high schools available in the
Randolph Hills area, along with
a public library, Fairgrounds
and one of the county's most
extensive recreation areas occu.
plying land originally donated to
the county by Perlmutter, the
shopping center and theater will
make 1t unnecessary for any of
the residents to leave the com.
munity for normal shopping
service, the builders contend.

Silver Spring Rotary
Plans Active Year

Al dAAACACAlt OOQlltIlCS Ill a
foreign exchange program.
Thus, the Silver Spring club will
be paired with a club in a town
of similar size in another coun-
try. Actual exchange of visits
by individuals or, at the least,
exchange of letters will evolve
from this international pairing.
Membership in Rotary is Sc
lective, in that one member
from a given segment of a pro-
fession is invited to join. Thus,
the club is composed of men
from many fields. DR.. Eskew
describes his interest in and en-
joyment of Rotary activities as
due in large measure to the
fact that they afford him the
opportunity for contact and
communication with the bust
ness and professional commun.
ity of the area. Since his own
profession tends to be combining,
he finds such exposure" inter-
esting and stimulating.
DR.. Eskew expresses hope that
during his administration, Ro.
tary programming will be aim
ed toward the community forum
concept, with speakers engaged
to lead discussions on topics of
local, state, national and inter-
national interest. AS an ex-
ample, John A. Floyd, president
Of the Montgomery County
Council, was a recent speaker
at a weekly Rotary meeting.
Along the lines of vocational
service, the Silver Spring Rota-
ry Club has carried on a pro.
gram in two local high schools
and in Montgomery Junior Col.
lege through which profes.
sionals are invited to speak to
students on their work, with
ample opportunity given for a
question.answer period. These
series have been well received
In the schools and are con.
Quoted only by invitation or re-
quest of the schools to the or
ganization.
With reference to community
service, the Silver Spring Ro.
tary Club seeks worthy projects,
particularly in the health and
civic improvement and
safety areas, to which Rotary
m m b ers will devote their
time and funds, as well as their
active interest and support. Ro-
tary projects are financed
through dues and assessments.
DR.. Eskew's interest in Ro-
tary comes about from two
sources-the first being the fact
that his late father, Herman,
was a charter member and for
mer president of a club in the
small Tennessee town of Leb-
anon. Later on, DR.. Eskew's
Scoutmaster In Lebanon, DR..
Dean Wilkinson, also a dentist
and a Rotarian-played a great
part In the youths education.
Through these two men, DR..
Eskew was indoctrinated into
the aims Of Rotary Interna.
tional.
In addition to being head of
the local Rotary, DR.. Eskew is
chairman of the Committee of
Management of the Silver
Spring YMCA Family Center.
Serving in official capacity in
the Silver Spring Rotary with
DR.. Eskew are: Robert Adams,
vice-president; A. Woodward
Thompson, treasurer; F. Arthur
Merritt, secretary; William Moi
fit, assistant secretary; Bill
Mayo, sergeant-at-arms; and

Ghana S Nkrumah
Calls For High
Code Of Conduct

The President of Ghana has
urged the nation to strive to
revive those virtues and values,
which he said "our fathers based
their high standards of moral
conduct and behavior"
Osagyego. DR.. Kwame Nkrumah
made this appeal in his May Day
broadcast to the Republic, in
which he announced that Ghana's
7 year Development Program
would be launched in a few
months.
DR.. Nkrumah declared that the
Plan was intended to transform
Ghana into a modern, industrial
state. The President mentioned
the new factories that were rising
across the nation, also new
schools and universities.
Osagyefo explained. that all
those advancements were mean
ingless il they we're not support
cd by a strong moral and spiri-
tual foundation" and he warned
that If moral degeneration was
combined with archaeological and
scientific progress, then Ghana
would surely fall.
