WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16.
Chevy Chase Citizens Association,
8 pm, E. v. Brown School. We're
going into high gear for another
season Of activity" President Edwin
S. Hege says.
The years program is being out
lined, prominent in which are found
transportation problems. Declared
Hege: There's a feeling that busses
substituted for street cars can be
made more satisfactory by adjusting
the bus program to the community S
needs. We are not so much concerned
with the actual schedule as we are
in the busses running in groups;
some method must be devised SO
busses will not have to stop at every
bus stop where a group of people
stand. Many of these people do not
want that particular bus and the
result is a general delay for the
entire service"
More efficient means of ventilating
the busses will have to be found by
next Summer he believes This should
be accomplished by an opening in
the front Of the vehicle to permit
free passage of air. The Public
Utilities Commission and the transit
company are going into this matter
very Thoroughly" Hege says.
"Unquestionably The Stars Traffic
Safety Campaign will be indorsed, "
he promised. Traffic matters to be

when completed.
