Institute of Drycleaning
Is Center of Research
The National Institute of Dry
cleaning in Silver Spring is the
educational and research center
of a $2 billion industry.
Its big buff buildings on the
corner of Georgia and Burling
ton aves., are a 32-year-old land
mark for Montgomeiy County
residents. They house the head
quarters of a trade association
serving 8500 members in the
drycleaning business in 41 for
eign countries as well as all 50
states and all territories of the
United States.
Drycleaning is said to have
been discovered by accident a
little over a century ago in
France. One story is that a
clumsy maid turned over a lamp
on a soiled tablecloth and found
the turpentine cleaned the
cloth. From this beginning has
grown an industry which cares
for clothes in most of the world.
Early Drydeaners Secretive
Early practitioners of dry
cleaning were a secretive lot
who feared and hated competi
tors. They progressed very little
at first because they couldn’t
learn from one another. But in
1907 25 cleaners and dyers de
cided to quit guarding their
trade secrets and associate.
They met in Milwaukee and
fo-med the National Association
of Dyers and Cleaners, which
later became the National Insti
tute of Drycleaning.
Among their earliest dreams
was the establishment of a per
manent home to house an "in
stitute.” Here they would equip
laboratories to do research in
drycleaning and textiles.
They would offer resident
courses in a college of dryclean
McDonald’s Wins Midget
Title Over St. Mary’s, 6-5
Kurt Schork stole home for
what proved to be the winning
run in the top of the last inning
as McDonald’s Hamburgers de
feated St. Mary’s, 6-5, for the
Rockville Midget Division base
ball title before a crowd of 400
at Maryval# field Tuesday
night.
It was the third game in the
best-of-three City Series. Mc-
Donald’s scored two runs in the
top of the sixth to take a com
fortable 6-3 lead, but Pat
of St Mary’s tripled across two
runs in the bottom of the
inning in a rally that fell Just
short
Greg Alvord was the winning
pitcher, allowing three hits.
Miller-Fields scored a run In
the third and three more in the
bottom of the fourth to defeat
Potomac, 5-3, in a four-inning

would employ teachers, lab tech
nicians, chemists, textile scien
tists, and business management
counselors. The dream came
true when they built the Insti
tute in Silver Springs in 1927.
Today, drycleaning is a serv
ice enjoyed by 98% of Ameri
cans. The Institute has grown
as Montgomery County has
grown. Starting with 25 char
ter members, it now serves 8500.
Its schools have graduated
more than 6500 men and wom
en, most of whom now work in
the drycleaning field.
Various Courses Open
Students may take a 12-week
resident course in general dry
cleaning plant practices, one of
four weeks in plant manage
ment or one of a number of
shorter courses in specific
cleaning services.
The Institute is a sight-seeing
landmark for people in the dry
cleaning business. Cleaners
from overseas consider it a
"must” stop in any tour of the
United States. Home economic
classes, school groups and
others find the 90-minute tour
of the buildings a fascinating
experience, for drycleaning is
something everybody uses but
few understand.
Madame Khrushchev toured
the institute during her visit to
Washington last year. Dryclean
ing is a curiosity in her coun
try, Her interest in seeing it
points up the fact that dryclean
ing is a blessing Americans
take for granted. It’s essential
to our high standard of living;
yet behind the Iron Curtain It is
little known.

In the bottom of the fourth

Tom Treacy then grounded to

responsiveness and responsibili
ty for land planning for the few
dollars we get from the Federal
Government.”
Under the commission’s pres
ent setup, money for stream
valley parks is obtained in part
from the Government under
the Capper-Cramton Act. The
agency then matches these
funds with its own bond issues.
As a substitute for the Fed
eral appropriations, Frosh sug
gested obtaining money from
State agencies.
Supported by Werner
His statements brought Im
mediate support from Council
woman Stella B. Werner, a
long-time advocate of a county
controlled planning agency.
“I still contend we need our
own planning staff under our
council-manager form of gov
ernment,” she said. "Every
other government like ours has
its own planning arm.”
She cited the lack of plan
ning assistance in the prepara
tion of the county’s capital
budget as a major drawback
under the present system.
“We are certainly far behind
with all major plans for the
growth of our county,” she said.
Urges Caution
From Councilman William F.
Hickey, however, came a word
of caution.
“I think the technical staff
should remain independent and
apart from the control of the
county government," he con
tended; "away from any influ
ence that would interfere with
their freedom of decision.”
Similar opposition was voiced
by Councilman Joe M. Kyle.
"I have hoped all along,” he
stated, “that we could, through
a new county manager, accom
plish what Frosh proposes.
Mason Butcher (the newly ap
pointed county manager) pre
sents that possibility because of
his personality and ability to
work with people.
"We haven’t scratched the
surface of what we can do under
the present system. We haven’t
asked for regular consultations

with the staff, for example.
This is a much more sensible
approach to the problem than
getting into a battle to legislate
the commission out of business.
I am not going to participate
willingly in that kind of busi
ness.”
Councilman David Cahoon
blasted Frosh’s suggestion as
“without logic.”
“This is only part of the pic
ture,” he said. “Our problem
is functional fragmentation in
terms of municipal services.
Why should we single out one
function of government and say
it should be part of the county
government, without taking into
account the functions of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission and the Board of
Education?"
While conceding that the
planning staff is “too conserva
tive” in its approach to plan
ning problems, Cahoon main
tained the county has the co
ordination machinery available
to do the job without reorgan
izing the commission.
Should Control Land
But Frosh argued that he
singled out land planning "be
cause the major source of our
revenue is land and we should
have control over it.”
He also said a county plan
ning agency would relieve the
burden on the council of hear
ing all zoning applications. The
planners, he explained, could
hear all petitions which are in
accordance with the master
plan; the council would limit
itself to applications which dif
fer from the plan.
After the meeting, Frosh pre
dicted to reporters that “some
day, we are going to have plan
ning under the county where It
belongs. The present situation
is ridiculous.”

Stale Organizations Plan
To Attend Parley on Aging
A variety of clubs and organ
izations from throughout the
State are planning to send dele
gations to the Governors’ Con
ference on the Aging at the Uni
versity of Maryland September
7 and 8, according to Delegate
Margaret C. Sch’veinhaut.
Mrs. Schweinhaut, who rep
resents Montgomery County in
the House of Delegates, is chair
man of the State Commission
on the Aging and a principal
sponsor of the conference. She
urged a full public attendance
at the meeting, and noted that
many groups are planning bus
and auto caravans to the con
ference site.
"The response from Golden
Age Clubs, church and civic or
ganizations has been quite en
couraging,” Mrs. Schweinhaut
said. "Reservations received,
thus far, indicate that attend
ance will equal our anticipated
one thousand.
“I strongly urge that all
groups be represented at this
Conference. Caravans of various
groups traveling by motor cars
or buses can make this not only
a serious and profitable occa
sion, but a social one as well.”
The two-day session will con
sist of workshops and discus
sion groups on such topics as fi
nance, medical and health care,
compulsory retirement, housing
and other old age problems;
special panels; and commis
sion hearings on problems of
aging. A nationally-prominent
keynote speaker will give the
conference a "send off” at the
opening session on Wednesday,
September 7, at 11 a.m.
Highlighting the conference
will be the Wednesday evening
public rally at which time Mary
land’s Governor J. Millard
Tawes will address the dele
gates and an international panel
on the question of aging in
other cultures will be held.
"The total cost of the confer
ence,” Mrs. Schweinhaut said,
"is only $6.10 which includes
meals and overnight lodging.
Many organizations are under
writing this cost with ‘scholar
ships’ to enable the State’s older
citizens to attend. It is our hope
that many more groups will un
dertake to provide these ‘schol
arships.’ This provides an ex
cellent opportunity to show our
aging that they are not alone;
that we really care.”

(Continued from page 1)
ly-popular Army Band, featur

Steve Lawrence as its vocalist,
will appear in a concert at the
Broome High School at 8:30
p.m., for which no admission
will be charged. The U. S. Army
Chorus also will be featured on
the program.
On Monday night, the observ
ance will acquire an official
reigning queen when the win
ner of the “Miss Rockville” con
test will be crowned as a pre
lude to the premiere perform
ance of “Thin Gray Line.” Also
to be crowned in the same cere
mony are "Miss Montgomery
County,” the title conferred on
the runner-up in the contest,
and the “Little Queen,” winner
of a separate contest for girls
between four and eight years of
age.
Throughout the remainder of
t’ week there will be additional
events to entertain residents
and visitors, including a street
dance, musical performance,
ceremonials of a serious nature
and three parades. The final
parade, scheduled for Saturday,
September 3, at 2:30 p.m., is a
climactic phase of the formal
observance and will feature
gaily-decorated floats, bands
and other colorful entries.
With the actual program
near, a mounting air of enthu
siasm has been detected among
Rockville residents, and Cen
tennial officials have expressed
confidence the fete will receive
strong local support. Hundreds
of male residents have abided
by Mayor Greene's proclama

Centennial bowlers and sun
