Saunders Sentinel Reporter Commercial, residential and industrial development along Route 70S from Clarksburg south through Rockville and including the Rockville Pike south to Be thesda is growing so rapidly that the corridor may well become “Main Street,” Mont gomery County. The two areas shown in the accompanying maps are the sub jects of two Montgomery Coun ty Chamber of Commerce busi ness information reports, the southern portion to be published by the Chamber within a week. The county’s growing Science Industry Corridor along' Inter state 70S now has companies and government agencies whose completed facilities will house more than 13,000 employes. This growth of basic indus trial employment is generating large-scale residential, commer cial and service Industry devel opment in the 12'/j-mile stretch between Rockville and Gaithers burg. Basic Industries and govern ment in this area now employ over 4500 people. The largest existing employer is the Atomic Energy Commission, which just recently leased additional space in Bethesda because the facility in Germantown is already crowded. Under construction, scheduled or completed are such facilities as the Bureau of Standards, 1.8. M. and Fairchild Stratos, which will bring employment to 13,000 before 1970. In addition, other research facilities are seeking locations along the same strip of highway in order to be near the Bureau and A.E.C. Opportunities for new residen tial and commercial develop ment in the area on the order 6f more than 18,000 units are being opened up along new sewer and water lines being ex tended to serve these major em ployment centers. Some large new apartment projects and subdivisions now exist in Rockville and Gaithers burg and many more are being planned. Residential development has already reached Germantown where apartments are proposed, and even beyond in Clarksburg, where lively subdivision activity is under way. Development of commercial facilities to serve the new population being brought into the area is also underway at several points. The principal site is at the Brown’s Station Interchange in Gaithersburg. On the basis that each job in basic service industry generates one job in a service type indus try, service and basic industry m Clarksburg— Germantown j (|R^°' thers ' :>ur9 WRockville Bethesda I District \ / of \ / Columbia \ employment in this area will exceed 26,000 before 1970. The area south of Rockville to Bethesda shows even faster industrial and commercial devel opment. Industrial and governmental employment oriented directly to Rockville Pike already totals some 12,000 with the National Institutes of Health and the Be thesda Naval Hospital as the core. Employment, due to the rapid development of this area, is growing so fast that it is virtu ally impossible to keep current employment figures. Rockville Pike, besides its industrial and government growth, is becoming the number one commercial highway in the county. Already the home of the Con gressional Plaza Shopping Cen ter, GEM Inc., the Super Giant Discount Shopping Center, as well as innumerable free stand ing retail facilities and small shopping strips, many more retail facilities are now under construction and many more are.in the planning stages.

Nee Furniture When Buick builds a LeSabre - - Buick builds a high-priced car, and puts a low price on it. ... ML.. Lots of cars are in LeSabre’s price class, but that’s where the resemblance ends. For instance: Does anybody else in LeSabre’s class treat you to that gentle Buick ride or impressive Buick performance and new gas economy? No. And who else gives you 15- inch wheels, finned aluminum front brakes, extra cushioning for middle-scat travelers, and separate heat ducts and controls for the rear seat? Right again: Nobody in LeSabre’s field but LeSabre. If all this makes you think a LeSabre would look awfully nice in your garage, you should see how nicely it fits a budget.

The "Log Cabin,” as we think of it. was apparently introduced about 1638 by the Swedes who settled in Delaware. The Ger mans end Seotch-lrish, who en tered the country via tha Data ware Valley, did most to estab lish it as a symbol of tha Ameri can Pioneer, as they penetrated the frontiers of hdaine and New Hampshire and pushed westward across tha Alleghenies and south ward into Virginia end the Caro lines. Tha myth grow out of tha 1840 firasidential campaign whan Wil iam Henry Harrison was pre sented at tha kind of a man who would be proud to live in a "log I cabin. Tha log cabin became a symbol of courage, simplicity, and plain democratic homely Americanism. It soared in popu larity and even reliable historians accepted and developed it until pageants and legends depicted Puritans and Pilgrims—garbed in sober black and white, which they never wore—praying and fighting Indians before tha deers of reconstructed log cabins, which they never lived in.
