Patrons Think Service
Should Not Be Stopped

Citizens and organizations of Rock
vile and vicinity are making vigorous
protests against contemplated cessa-
Eion of bus service to Washington. AL
though complaints have hitherto been
made on the type of service afforded
local patrons of the Capital Transit
lines, the controversy wakes hotter
following recent statement reported
as having been made by E. D. Merrill,
president Of the Capital Transit Com
pany, at recent meeting Of the Be-
chesda Chamber of Commerce.
A resolution was adopted last night
at combined meeting of the Mayor
and Town Council, the executive COM
nnittee of the Rockville Chamber of
Commerce and the public service
committee of the chamber. The reso-
lution asked that the people of Rock
vile be heard before any action was
taken either by the Maryland Public
Service Commission or the Interstate
Commerce Commission. s.e .,
One member of the Town Council of
Rockville said that he believed the
service could easily be maintained and
improved by running just one line Of
buses from Washington Grove and
Rockville to downtown Washington.
He would remove the buses running
to the District Line via the Old
Georgetown Pike. This same town
official stated that he believed the
betterment Of service and the elinli-
nation of the Georgetown Pike route
would result in an increased patronage
for the Capital Transit lines. He
pointed out that people do not care to
make the tiresome journey to the Dis
trict Line and then transfer to street
cars.
Several leading citizens of Rockville,
Gaithersburg and Washington Grove
have announced their intention of
writing the Public Service Commission
in protest against any curtailment of
service.
1t has been repeatedly pointed out
tLat Rockville will be practically iso-
lated if the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road and The Capital Transit Company
go "bearish' on the transportation
situation. AS one wag put It, "the only
way we have left to travel is TO
patronize the Congressional Airport" /"

Controversy Over Bus Line Change
Wages; Two Aspects Are Presented
Capital Transit Says Route
Is Now In 'Red'

E. D. Merrill, president of the Cap
ital Transit Company, wrote the fol-
lowing letter to the editor of The
Sentinel this week. In the letter pres
ident Merrill explains his view on the
bus line situation;
Mr.. Townsend Howes, Editor.
The Montgomery County Sentinel
Rockville, Maryland.
Dear Mr.. Howes:
For more than a year now Capital
Transit has been engaged in COM
prehensive study of its Maryland bus
lines. The situation which confronts
the Company in these Maryland oper-
ations is serious indeed. Our suburban
operations in the state are resulting
i'm substantial losses, some of which
are indeed of startling nature and
lead to the natural inquiry in the mind
of anyone who learns of them, wheth-
Ter the obvious measure of economy to
be taken would not be to cut off GER
tain outlying zones and abandon SER
vice where the number of passengers
Involved is too small to justify the
loss incurred.
A comparison of revenue and ex-
lpense in some, of the outlying zones
develops surprising figures. For in
stance in the three zones beyond
Rockville on the Montgomery bus line,
We find the number of passengers per
year in each zone is $4,000 to $4,000.
If we assume that the same persons
ride each day, it appears that some
thing like 22 persons are being ac-
commodated by this service. On this
basis it appears that the Company is
Iincurring deficit Of about $170. per
person per year for the privilege Of
taking care of these % individuals.
1t appears that only 35 individuals
normally ride in Zone Four between
Kensington and Garrett Park, and the
Company loses about $155 a year
carrying each of these individuals.
In Zones Two, Three and Four north
lof Alta Vista, about 100 individuals
are accommodated, and the Company
loses approximately $11S. per person
per year on this line.
The unavoidable conclusion from
the studies We have made is that one
of three things will have to take place.
Either substantial economies will have
to be accomplished by reduction in
the number Of trips or greater revenue
lYill have to be obtained from increas-
led patronage or higher fares, or GER
tain portions of the line will have to
be discontinued.
We are anxious to secure sugges-
tions from those interested in the
matter of public transportation and
amy such suggestions win be carefully
considered.
Very truly yours,
E. D. MERRILL,
President.

For Our Children

The following is quoted from the
December editorial of the Parent
Teacher magazine:
December is the month of loving,
giving-of generous consideration of
others, of joyful exchange of greet
ings among friends and acquaintances.
One gives of material things and of
affection in greater measure; the tide
of good feeling sweeps away all triv-
| ial hampering emotions. In the over
flowing of our kindly and affectionate
impulses, we wash away our own
smallness of soul; in the swelling
floods of other generous tides we are
carried to higher aspirations and
nobler visions.
In December, we see the end of
many things. Yet the warmth of re-
membrance brings a lingering glow
for the coming year; friendships of
old kindle splendors to light the way
to the new; to look back with graft
tude-that is. well done in December.
In December, we pause to look with
appreciation at present joys and
friends; we pause to look, at members
of our family, searching affectionate-
ly for their needs that we may supply
their hearts desire; we give love, and
admiration. We open our hearts to all
good emotions and impulses. ''Good
will to alp becomes spontaneous. As
the tide sweeps around US, life Is joy
Gus and warm. In December, we may
look ahead. With the calendar are
gone many opportunities and duties.
Yet December connects US with new
year-and in so doing becomes a.
month of preparation for life anew.
New opportunities for dreams to be
realized, for giving anew the devotion
and consideration to others. Deem
ber, the month of the birth of the
Christ child, is time for US to search
for the excellences in human nature
and to cultivate them in ourselves.
AS a channel for the tide Of good
will toward others, for the opportuni-
ties to cultivate tolerance, forbear-
ance and loving understanding is the
association of parents and teachers,
in organized and in individual effort.
Our ideals of service shed warm
glow about US and beckon US on to
better years ahead. May our endeay-
ors, our love and our understanding,
one of another, be the source of a
nations benediction and of our own
happiness" 1n I'll
At this Christmas tide, what shall
we do with Jesus who is called the
Christ? Shall we yield Him again to
be crucified by all these modernisms |?
Or shall we open wide the doors of
cur hearts that His. love, joy and
peace may dwell with us and that we
may share Him with our fellow men,
the poor, the sick and the lonely?
Let US open wide the portals of our
hearts and let the dear Christ in that
He may fill our lives with the Beauty
Of Holiness--So from the Parent
Teacher Association of the Rockville
schools-A Merry Christmas and A
Happy New Year to everyone in our
community. "God Bless Us Every
One!"
