BERRYVILLE, Va, March 23.-
A local country doctor this week
delivered his 3.570th baby-with-
out the loss of a mother.
And tomorrow he's scheduled to
sing for the 49th consecutive
Easter as a tenor soloist in Grace
Episcopal Church.
There are two reasons why DR..
Archibald Osborne, "about u.s." is
one of the best known citizens in
la town which also is known as the
home of Senator Harry Flood
Byrd; reasons why heamight even
be called DR.. Berryville.
Since the horse and buggy days
of 1902 when he began his practice
here, DR.. Osborne has delivered
more babies than this town has
inhabitants or a number equal to
nearly half of surrounding Clarke
|County's population.
1--WE delivered babies almost
|everywhere-on kitchen tables, in
railroad boxcars and by phone"
The latter occurred once on a
snowy. windy night when he
couldn't make his way to the ex-
pectant mother. The physician
spoke instructions into the trans
mitter and the expectant father
at the other end of the wire
carried them out. Just before the
baby arrived. DR.. Osborne shouted:
Turn the bed around-and
hurry"
You see," he explains today.
1.-The top of the bed was in Clarke
County and the bottom in. West
Virginia. The State line cut
through the house."
And so, Virginias vital statis-
tics mounted.
DR.. Osborne, who hasn't had a
vacation in 40 years, has been
family physician to the Byrds for
about 40 years. Sometimes he and
the Senator talk about politics
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1951-03-24

except the one in Senator Byrd's
home town.
DR.. Osborne admits there are
many babies named after him
Also, he is the sole survivor among
the physicians of Clarke and five
surrounding counties who were
practicing when he started as a
doctor.
A vital and energetic man with
blue eyes and steel gray hair, the
doctor was born north of here in
the Shenandoah Valley where the
countryside is rich in farmland,
apples and tradition.

By q staff Correspondent Of The Siar

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 24.-A bill
to block the Capital Transit Co.
Iplan to cut off eight unprofitabl,
buslines into Prince Georges ant
Montgomery Counties when fran
chises expire March 81 is on it
way through the Maryland Legis'
|lature.
The measure, which would as
sure continuance of service for a
least 80 days or until public
hearing is held before the Stat,
Public Service Commission, wa
favorably reported yesterday BY
the Senate Judiciary Committee
A companion bill, designed Il
force the transit company to op.
crate the lines as long as it's whole
system shows a reasonable return
was given an unfavorable report
Carriers Join in Attack.
The committee acted after {
hearing at which both bills were
attacked by Capital Transit anc
Baltimore Transit attorneys ane
representatives of rail and bu.
carriers throughout the State.
Charles D. Harris, general coun
sci for the State Public Servic,
Commission, and Philip H. Dorsey
peoples counsel to the commits
sion, spoke for the measures.
Enactment of the approved bill
would mean that the Capita
Transit Co. would have to opcrat,
the eight losing lines after one
year franchises expire at midnigh
March 81 unless the courts rul,
otherwise.
The company has notified PSI
that it will cut off service at tn,
deadline and that it intends t,
start legal action Immediately.
An amendment tackled on tn,
bill yesterday would order PSF
to hold public hearing not late,
than 80 days after the deadlin,
to determine to what extent aban
donment would inconvenience tn,
public. The measure carries al
emergency clause, which makes s
three-fifths favorable vote neces.
sary in both houses. It would be.
come effective when signed by thu
! Governor.
Hit as Specific Legislation.
Opposition to the unfavorabl,
reported bill centered arounc
questions as to its constitutionality
and the fact that it was aimee
directly at Capital Transit. Sew.
eral Senators remarked that the,
did not favor Legislation "cut t.
fit special cases."
Mr.. Dorsey conceded that HI
prepared the bill with that ides
in mind and declared:
I'm the 40 years of PSC history
no company has ever stopped
service as abruptly as the Cap.
ital Transit Co. has said i
would do.

William Rafferty,, representins
Capital Transit, said his company
was opposed to the bill because il
might be required to operate lex.
