May 12, and La By Max Knight Official opening of the gate house, boat docks and picnic area at the Middle Fork reservoir recreational area, located northeast of Richmond, it scheduled Friday, The 273-acre recreational site, reached by going east on Sylvan Nook drive in Berry Field from the Chester pike, includes a 177-acre lake.

The picnic and parking areas, covering some 60 acres, are on the west tide of the lake. Rental docks for boat owners are located on the east tide of the lake, off the Middlebnro pike. The reservoir was constructed in 1900-61 and opened by the Richmond Water Works in January, 1962. Land turrounding the lake has been leased to the Richmond Park department. Don McBride, park superintendent, said the new park, fourteemh in Richmond, will be dedicated during ceremonies next Thursday at 3 p.

m. Gov. Matthew Welsh and Mayor Roland H. Cutter will tnip the traditional ribbon and make an inspection tour of the recreational area. McBride said his department it concentrating on boating, fishing and the picnic areas at present, due to a problem of sanitation.

Earlier plans called for a bathing beach to be constructed along the northeastern shore of the lake. However, McBride said the department now is looking toward concentrating all facilities on the west shore, thereby saving a considerable amount of money in putting in an additional sewage system. Delay In Beach "The swimming area still Is in a planning stage," said the park director, "and I see little chance of it being completed before early 1965." Requests for docks along the eastern shore of the lake are be-ing accepted by the park department. Eight dock spaces already are filled. "With only 14 employees in the park department, plus a limited budget with which to work," said McBride, "we must take the development of Middle Fork one step at a time.

If it becomes possible to hurry up development of the swimming area, then it will be done." A shelter house and 30 picnic tables will be ready for this weekend, the park superintendent said. A playground area, next to the picnic grounds, is to be developed before the opening of the park next spring. The picnic area is located south of the boat-taunching ramp, on the west side of the lake. The launching ramp is wide enough to accommodate three automobiles at one time while docks are being provided at the ramp for limited stopping. McBride said plans call for 30 permanent docks to be located on the northeast side of the lake by next spring.

This autumn, docks are being rented for $5, since only a fourth of the boating season remains, while a yeaiiy fee of $20 will be charged in the spring. The docks are not anchored, except to the shoreline, as they are floated on styrofoam. Each dock if five feet wide and 10 feet long and has 18 feet of styrofoam floating it. The strips are seven inches thick and 20 inches wide. Here is a rundown of prices set by the park board: Admittance at gate, 25 cents.

Bank fishing, 50 cents per day per person or 5 per year. Boating dock space, $20 per year or 50 cents daily for local residents, 1 for those away from Richmond. Rental of boats, $2.50 per day. A person launching a boat does not pay the gate entry fee, thereby actually launching for 25 cents less than the named price. No Fishing In 1963 McBride said he is expecting fishing by next spring to be excellent.

Fishing is prohibited this year. He prides his department on being able to heavily stock the lake with game fish, expecting 1 I The 1963-64 program schedule for the Richmond chapter.

Send-OfFFor" Rights Marchers Set At Chicago CHICAGO (AP) The Century of Negro Progress exposition in Chicago's McCormick Place will stage a send-off program Monday for participants in the massive civil rights demonstration planned Wednesday in Washington. The evening program, announced Saturday, will feature a speaking program by organizers of the Birmingham demonstrations and others active in current Negro pressure for changes in various cities. "We must take notice of the history which is being made today," said Sonja Haynes of Chicago, youth chairman for the American Negro Emancipation Centennial authority. She described the Washington convergence as "one of the most significant civil rights demonstrations in the history of this country." Looking 20 years into the future, Dr. Benjamin O.

Mays, president of Morehouse college, Atlanta, forecast at a panel session program Friday night that segregation will have vanished by 1983. "If the bid for equality by the Negro-American fails here," he said, "world-wide democracy also will fail." He said that more progress toward acceptance has been made by the Negro during the last nine years than in the 335 years since the first Negro slaves arrived in the New World from Africa in 1619. Don McBride, park superintendent, stands on one of the floating docks already rented. The explosion was described as low yield, meaning It had a force equivalent to less than 20,000 tons of TNT. Fair Horse Show Orchestra Silent But Paid $3,500 COLUMBUS (UPI) The Ohio State Fair management it paying $3,500 to a 16-piece orchestra which did not play a note at the horse show.

The 16 members were seated in the orchestra stand. That is part of their contract. It all began when the people who stage the horse show told the fair management that orchestras scare their horses. They said they wanted an organist instead. The fair management told the American Federation of Musicians, which said if the contract were not signed for the horse show union musicians would not play for the nightly grandstand shows.

Caught in a squeeze, the fair agreed to pay the 16 musicians, who appeared but did not play. "To me this is blackmail to have to spend money we don't have to or want to spend," said Fair Manager E. J. Keirns. Carl Hug, spokesman for the 'Woman In Black' Places Wreath On Valentino Crypt HOLLYWOOD (UPI) A mysterious "woman in black," leaning on crutches, placed a wreath on the crypt of Rudolph Valentino Friday in observance of the 37th anniversary of the great screen lover's death.

The "woman in black," as usual, refused to identify herself. Throughout the years a "woman in black" has appeared at memorial services for the Italian-born star. The idea of a mourning "woman In black" originated as a movie publicity stunt, but appears to have been taken up by one or more sincere fans. Other floral offerings arrived from Valentino fan clubs throughout the world. About 75 persons gathered at the crypt in Hollywood Memorial Park to hear Gil Lamb, veteran 6tage and screen actor, deliver a eulogy on behalf of the Masquers Club.

Valentino rose to stardom with such pictures as "The Sheik" and "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." He died in 1926 at the age of 31. i Boy On Bicycle Struck By Auto; Injuries Minor It was double trouble for James Richards, 14 years old, Saturday, when he was struck by an automobile near Third and Main streets and taken to the hospital for treatment of cuts and bruises. Richards, police said, only recently had his bicycle stolen. And about the same time his sister was given a new one. Richards was riding his sister's new bike when the auto, driven by Betty Lou Richardson, 44 years old, 2505 North West A street, struck him near the Main street intersection.

The driver said she could not tell where the bicycle came from. She was not held.

About 200 physicians, nurses, Rid Your Home of By Joy Miller NEW YORK (AP) Behind every man, they say, is a woman.

Men called next week's march on Washington. But, says Dr. Anna Arnold Hedgeman, behind that march women are a real force. "Women usually lead any cru-tade. They don't always get frontline notice, but they're there and their force is felt." Dr.

Hedgeman is one woman who's getting some of that frontline notice. She's the only woman on the nine-member administrative committee for the march. She also is coordinator of church participation in the march for the ES TERMIT mond avenue, and Len Beach, 310 South Ninth street, park department employees, are doing the construction work. Trees are being planted and landscaping done toward the formal opening. A good road leads to the west boat launching site while only a dirt roadway allows motorists to drive to the temporary rental dock area off the Middleboro pike.

The other day at her desk she stopped to talk about women with a visitor. "I'm no feminist, but I'm for women" she prefaced her discussion. "Women white or Negro have always carried the major responsibility for what happens. Women can understand what we're doing at this time because they suffer from the same prejudice.

Some of them maybe just don't recognize it. "Right along with Negroes, women are discriminated against just for being what they are. Certainly women ought to be very vigorous in support of minorities. I honestly think women are the most discriminated against of all the minorities. Yes, even more than Negroes, if that's possible." She paused for appreciation of her mild heresy, than added with a smile: "I get it on both counts-woman and Negro." By Steven Gerstel WASHINGTON (UPI) The city's health director estimated Saturday that at least several hundred persons will be hospital-; ized during the "march on Wash-i ington" Wednesday and indicated the figure could be higher.

Dr. Murray Grant, District of Columbia health director, said that with a crowd of 150.000 un-der normal circumstances about 230 persons would require hospital care for the "usual" ailments. "However," he added, "these people will be traveling from long distances on what may be a hot, humid day and will be congregated under conditions which make it essential for us to plan for any eventualities." 23 Aid Stations Grant said that 25 first aid stations will be in operation Aug. 14 in fixed locations such as government buildings, 10 in National Guard tents, and one in a mobile van. i PHONES 8-5665 8-4283 Absolutely New, Ultra Modern Coin Loundry and Rapid Budget Cleaning.
