Auto Club Urges
Md. Speed Law
Limit, so Miles
Recently Propose ID By
Motor Vehicles Commits
siOner And Police Head

The keystone Automobile Club
heartily favors the establishment of a
50-mile-an-hour motor vehicle speed
limit for Maryland, as proposed re-
Gently by Walter R. Rudy, Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles, and Major
Elmer Munshower, head of the State
Police.
Basing it's endorsement on the ex-
perience of Pennsylvania, which has
reduced highway fatalities 38 per
cent this year through enforcement
of its 50-mile limit, the Club declares
that motorists will observe speed
law that is reasonable but evade one
that is unreasonable in it's limitations.
"We are not advocates of high
speed" said George E. Keneipp, Man.
ager of the Club, "but we certainly
favor reasonable regulations as en-
bodied in the 50-mile maximum and
lower speeds where conditions war
rant and where the regulation is in
dlcated by proper signs. We venture
to say that no operators feel any
scruples about exceeding the 45-mile
limit. In consequence of widespread
disregard of the rule, respect for
this and other laws is decreasing.
Victims of spasmodic enforcement
campaigns pay the penalty for be-
ing caught in an offense that all mo-
florists are committing.
"If a 50-mile limit is established in
Maryland, we believe motorists gen.
orally will stay within it. AS mat
ter of fact, there has never been such
careful driving in Pennsylvania since
the police undertook strict enforce
ment of the 50-mile law, with license
revocation for 80 days as the penalty
for violation.
at has been shown by official re-
ports that enforcement of the 50-mile
law in Pennsylvania has not only cut
down fatal accidents on the open road,
but has reduced in exactly the same
proportion fatalities in cities and
boroughs."

county officers taking their seats
after January 1, following a Novem-

ROCKVILLE AND THE COM
MUNITY loses a real citizen in
Robert E. Lee Smith. He has been a
foremost civic and church leader. He
fought, as probably no other man, to
compel the public utilities to recog-
nize the needs of our county seat and
its environs. Along with George H.
Lamar and few other notable ex-
amples, he gave unstintingly of his
time to bring about public improve
ments which will ever stand as a
memorial to his unselfish efforts.

Varied Food
Role Played
By Custards

"Trifle" with your family's
affections; take the cuss out of
custard; float" to fame with a
floating island; sponge" on
the dessert, These are a few
of the facetious slogans-if
kitchens cared for slogans
possible to the custard maker.
Custard is a model dessert.
1t introduces more milk into
the diet; combines with fruit,
nuts, cake, crumbs; is easy
to m a k e, wholesome and
nutritious, and popular as a
hostess at her own party.
Besides "just custard" there
are steamed, baked, soft and
brown sugar custards. There
are cream float, blanc mango,
trifle, sponge, tapioca, corn
starch pudding. There are
even ready-to-use puddings and
cornStarch desserts to round
out the group. It's a good
family, the custard clan, and if
you are clever you will meet it
often.
