More about our traffic problem
in Rockville. 1t is gratifying to
see that this is being discussed in
our County papers. To say the
least, the traffic situation here is
very serious, and soon it will be
like the fellow said about Los
Angeles, The only way to get on
the other side of the street is TO be
born over there" The writer has
frequently brought up the question
of an additional traffic light with
members of the Town Council and
the Chamber of Commerce, but The
answer has always been-"no
money" or "wait for the proposed
by-pass"-which would not solve
our problem when and if it is
ever completed.
Rockville has a peculiar situa-
ton. Most of our street corners
are Staggered. that is, the side
streets do not run through, which
necessitates quite little study of
the matter of controlling traffic.
AS suggestion, traffic light at
Monroe Street and one at nearby
Fayette Street, it is believed, would
be the most help to US. This would
be far enough down town to pre-
vent congestion or "piling up" of
traffic below the Frederick Road
corner, and still be near enough
uptown to benefit pedestrians in
the congested business section be-
low Perry Street. One light could
be placed at each corner (Worth's
and BurroughsD synchronized to
fash green or red simultaneously.
The back of each light would be
dark, SO that traffic would make
but one stop, say at Monroe Street
coming up, and at Fayette Street
going down. Pedestrians could
cross Montgomery Avenue at either
corner while the simultaneous red
light was on to stop traffic on Mont
gomery Avenue, and motorists
could get out on Montgomery Ave
aue without difficulty at these cor
ners, which is a difficult thing to
do now during rush hours. Such
an arrangement was made in Be-
thesda on the narrow street (Route
240) west of the bank before the
street was widened, and seemed to
work satisfactorily. Perhaps the
State Roads Commission could be
persuaded to give US our additional
traffic light, as great volume of
The traffic is through traffic.
The writer hopes that this is not
presumptuous on his part, but it
is good to have the views of our
residents in this fast growing
community, as this is very serious
matter to all of us.

To the Editor:
In judging homes of Rockville
and vicinity on Christmas decorat-
ing how could the judges have
missed the home at 1912 Coral Sea
Avenue, Twin Brook? The home
at the bottom of the hill (Okin-
ava Avenue) looked lovely. The
beautifully arranged lights could
be viewed even from Viers Mill
Road and there is a question as to
whether the judges got down that
far.

Milk Cartons

Did you realize that even the pa
per cartons which contain milk
must have a tailor-made finish?
These paper containers, which save
a tremendous amount of shipping
and storage space because they can
be shipped flat to diaries all over
the country, must have a finish that
is tasteless, odorless, non-toxic, and
that also will not crack or flake off
in service.

What To Remember What
To Forget
Human beings seem prone to
forget the things they should re-
member, and remember the things
they should forget.
This trait appears early in the
lives of children, and without con-
slant attack will finally gain COM
plete dominion.
Against such, wise parents will
take every precaution: for it's
subtle influence only spells moral
destruction.
AS time marches on and life be-
comes a bit uncertain and drear,
there are always a few valuable
things to remember and hold most
dear.
Chief among them, one should
not forget the love Of parents so
kind and true, who gave all they
had to a person like you.
Who taught you of God and the
things you should give, to make
others happy while on earth here
you live.

league championship for the Sc
cond straight year.
This week Musical increased
his lead to three percentage points
of Jackie as the Flatbush ace
fell back because of various in
juries. Musial now leads Jackie
1861 to 1853. Stan (the NAM al
so tops Jackie by two in doubles

This year, Jackie is batting bet
ter than ever : contrary to ex-
perts' predictions = : but several
injuries this season are preventing
him from performing all around
as we'll as he did in 1949.
Last year he was near the top
in runs scored, runs batted in,
batting, stolen bases, and doubles.
This year he has not done so
well in the RBI column nor in the
SB column.
Right now an elbow struck by
a pitched ball has caused a hitch
in his swing. Earlier this season a
bruised ankle kept him from steal
ing bases. Most of the season, how
ever, he has alternated with Mu-
sial for the leagues batting lead.

CHICAGO (ANP)- Larry Do

punch since he was beaned two
weeks ago in an exhibition game
with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Although last year Dolby was
one of the teams leading sluggers
this year he had done much better
in average than ever before but
not in hitting the long ball. His
teammates, AL Rosen and Luke
Easter, took all the slugging head
lines.
Then he. played an exhibition
game in Brooklyn and was knock.

being out of the lineup for a few
days he returned to swing a vici-

In various games he has hit
three homers or two in a single
