Greatly increased use of automo-
biles is largely responsible for the
expansion of Montgomery County
General Hospital, which was first es-
tablished to provide hospital services
for the Olney and Sandy Spring
neighborhood, but since has come to
serve not only the entire county in
which it is located but adjoining
counties as well, according to Harry
Hoskinson, of Germantown, who is
serving as chairman of. the campaign
to raise funds for expanding facili-
ties of the hospital.
Since the institution first was es-
tablished 18 years ago, the growing
use of automobiles has affected the
hospital in two ways, Hoskinson said.
In the first place, automobile travel
has greatly widened the area served
by the institution by making it pos
sible for patients to come there from
much more distant points.
In the second place, automobile ac-
cidents on the narrow, winding Mary
land roads have increased steadily in
number and now account for a high
percentage of the institutions patti
ents. About 200 cases arising from
highway accidents were received in
the hospital during the last year.
Saturday night, when both physi-
clans and nurses would like to be re-
laxing like other members of the COM
munity, is never dull at the hospital,
Hoskinson says, because that is the
night when accidents are most fre-
quent. Moreover, the majority of the
victims are not residents of the imme-
diate vicinity but come from wide
radius, including the close-in Mary
land suburbs.
The funds obtained will be used
mainly to expand facilities for handl-
ing accident cases and for enlarging
the maternity ward, Hoskinson said.
The size of the mems ward also will
be increased, and new heating plant
will be constructed. Mrs. B. Peytor

JAMES PUGH, Eugene Casey and
ether leaders of the Independent fac
tion here in Montgomery county, have
pledged themselves, both before and
after the primary election, to work
for the Democratic nominees. 1t be-
hooves the organization to get out
and work for Herbert O'Conor if he
should get the verdict over Howard
jackson. A hard-fought primary in
either party is healthy thing - but,
the party should be solidifed to meet
the common enemy in November.

OPINION IN ROCKVILLE over
the elimination of the Rockville grade
crossing is varied. We do think that
either the crossing or the bridge
should be retained, preferably the
former, as strictly town thorough
fare = so that the business men of
that section of Rockville can have
access to their places of business.
Why not close the Rockville-Norbeck
pike to through traffic at First
street, at the eastern end of town?
Provided, of course, that the proposed
new Baltimore pike cuts across back
of the Catholic Cemetery and joins
the Veirs Mill Road. In this way the
local business men will be satisfied
and the danger at the grade crossing
from through traffic will be practical
ly averted.
