Rte./uS Is Becoming
County’s ‘Main Street ’
By John B. 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

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.
Among commercial develop
ment under construction are the
Pike Shopping Centre, imme

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. You know who to
see about it, of course: your Buick dealer. Who else? Above all, it’s a Buick

thority on the MIJ
subject, defi- qM
estab- M
there were
amid the hous- Ba!ph Duane
ing efforts of the Pilgrims of the
middle end southern New England
Colonies.
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

the frontiers of hdaine and New
Hampshire and pushed westward
across tha Alleghenies and south

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.
