Urges Better
Traffic Control
In Rockville

A plea for better control of mo-
tor vehicular traffic in the town
of Rockville was made this week
in letter to Mayor Blandford by
Ben II. Hall, of IL Williams Street.
In another letter, Mr.. Hall urged
the Chamber of Commerce to get
behind him in fight to make the
streets of Rockville safe.
Pointing to the increasing num-
Der of accidents in Rockville, Mr..
Hall stressed that he is "only one
among many who feels that it is
high time that something be done
to make the streets of Rockville
safe for pedestrians, and to reduce
the dangers of traffic collisions"
with the increase of vehicular
traffic now that the war is over"
wrote Mr.. Hall, "there are several
points in Rockville which have be-
come extremely dangerous for
pedestrians and motorists alike.
Accidents involving pedestrians
and automobile collisions are on
the increase. In addition, pets of
the children of Rockville are being
killed one after another by speed
ing motorists.

tersection is near Reeds Service

Brookeville Man
In Command OF
The Princeton
Fifth OF The Name Is To
Commissioned At Philadel-
phia On Sunday

On Sunday the new Princeton, a
27,C0O ton aircraft carrier of the
Essex type, will be commissioned
at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
Built to replace the old Princeton,
the fourth of the name, a 1000
ton carrier which was lost in the
battle of Leyte Gulf in October,
1914, the ship was launched at the
Philadelphia yard on July 9Th,
1945.
Montgomery County is especial
ly interested in the ship because her
skipper is Captain John Madison
Hoskins, who with his wife, the
former Sue Dorsey Waters, two
sons and daughter, lives in the
quaint old lddings house in Brooke
vile. Capt. Hoskins, who had been
scheduled to take over the COM
mand of the 4th Princeton, was on
board when she was hit by a tor
pedo. He, lost his right foot when
the stern was shot completely
away, compelling the crew to aban-
don the ship and send her to the
bottom of the sea.
While his new ship was being
built, Capt. Hoskins recovered
from his injuries and learned to
use his artificial foot. He walks
with an almost imperceptible limp,
which he says provokes him "be-
cause there just is no reason for
it." He can even dance-he told a
member of the Sentinel staff. AS
executive officer on the carrier
Ranger, Capt. Hoskins had par
ticipated in the Allied invasion of
Africa. He was chief Of staff to
the commander of the air fleet at
Quonsett Point, R. /. when he was
ordered to the Pacific in Septem-
Der, 1914.
Born and reared in Pineville, Ky.
Capt. Hoskins entered the Naval
Academy at Annapolis in 1917;
graduated in 1921 and starting fly
ing in 1925. During World War /
he was assigned as midshipman to
the Wisconsin to patrol the coast
during the submarine scare. He
was married to Miss Waters, a
daughter of the late z. McCubbin
Waters and Mrs. Susie Davis Wa
tiers of Goshen, September 18th
1928, in st. Bartholomew Church,
Laytonsville.
