Rush-Hour Bus
Service Ended
Maryland Firm PIons
To Continue GreenbeIt
Route Until September

Service on one of four subur-
ban Maryland buslines aban-
doned recently by Capital Transit
Co., but maintained by other
firms, was discontinued today.
Oriole Motor Coach Lines, Inc,
ended, as of today, rush-hour
service on the Piney Branch line,
formerly designated Y-3 by Cap
ital Transit, and portions of the
Z-6 and To routes along Old
Bladensburg road.
The Oriole company allowed a
15-day permit from the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to
expire. 1t plans to continue serv-
ice on the G-8 Greenbelt route,
however and has obtained an ex-
tension of 165 days. or until Sep
tember %. for this service.
Equal extensions of 15-day
permits have been obtained by
Washington, Marlboro & Anna
polls Motor Lines, Inc, and the
Bison Bus Lines. Inc, for routes
they took over after Capital
Transit moved from the field.
To Change Stand on Ruotes.
The District Public Utilities
Commission today was notified of
Orioles abandonment action. No
action has been taken by the
regulatory body here. :
Capital Transit, meanwhile,
said it would withdraw an appli-
cation it had filed to abandon its
z-6 and To- routes on Old
Bladensburg road.
E. c. Giddings, vice president
of Capital Transit, said this today
when informed of Orioles deci-
sion.
Oriole said it was found to be
impractical to run over an emer-
gency route authorized about IS
days ago which provided morning
and evening rush-hour service
over Capital Transit's former Y-3
Piney Branch route to Four
Corners by way of portions of Old
Bladensburg road Routes rs and
To-.
An Oriole representative said
the whole area definitely would
not support two bus, lines and
rathe rtha ndeny the Old Bladens-
burg road patrons all-day service
now provided by Capital Transit,
Oriole would not seek authorize
ton to continue the emergency
route.
Mr.. Giddings, however, COM
mented: They are just finding
out what we commended all along
it just doesn't pay"
Re-routing Served More.
In all, Capital Transit was al
lowed by the Maryland Public
Service Commission and the ICC
to abandon seven suburban lines,
not counting the applications to
withdraw from the rs and To
routes which Mr.. Giddings says
will be continued now.
The service of w. M. & A. was
extended until September % by
the ICC for the former Capital
Transit x-8 route along Sheriff
road and was altered to provide
transportation on Addison road
to the Addison-C Chapel Apartments
for Negroes.
''We found" a w. M. A. official
said, that Capital Transit could
have served twice as many patrons
by re-routing its Buses"
Capital Transit had argued it
was losing money on all of the
routes it was permitted to aban-
don.
The Bison company took over
only portion of the o. route
of Capital Transit. That portion
already was Travelled by the Bison
buses and is the area from Colds
borough and River roads, near the
Kenwood Country Club to the Dis
trict line.

who through the years constantly assembled facts and
pictures this intriguing region and have sent them
forth to newspapers throughout the state.

tervas that told beauty the heroism of
fishermen and Coast Guards the hospitality and fendness
of our people in general

Fifteen Years Ago

r Fishing long net last week
near Gull Shoal in Pamlieo Sound,
three Manteo men had their hands
full when they caught two huge
sharks in their nets. The sharks
are said to have weighed more
than 800 pounds apiece. The fisher
men were Dan Baum, Cecil Sears
and Cloice Greet.
Will Rogers, proprietor of the
Rogers Service Station near Kitty

shelter for picnic parties. This
place has substantial floor rooted

wide-awake baseball team, known
as the Long Beach Ramblers. This
team broke into the long winning

and defeated them Saturday by a
score of IA to 0. Kitty Hawk had
previously defeated Virginia Beach

Residents of Kitty Hawk Beach
are much incensed because they
are not receiving the same service
for the removal of garbage as is
being given on the lower end of
the beach, particularly as far north
as the Croatan Hotel. They are ex-
pressing themselves in no uncer-
tain terms, and think the county
should pay the garbage collector
more money to enable him to serve
their cottages, too. $500.

from Elizabeth City to Manteo. The
vessel was sold early this month to

LET'S TAKE THE BACK ROAD
(From the Greensboro Daily News)

While the State Highway Com
mission won't tell Sunday after
noon drivers where they may or
may not poke and creep, it does
take right heartily to a suggestion
volunteered by DIR. Christopher
Crittenden, State Director of Ar
chives and History.
DR.. Crittenden lows as how Sum
day motorists not going anywhere
in particular ought to sample
some of our brand new secondary
roads. The odds on seeing a first
rate automobile collision or a ten
casualty bus-train wreck aren't
very good, but the whole family
might gaze on some breath-taking
countrysi d e far from exhaust
fumes, hot dog stands and boule-
ward bric-a-brac. Somebody might
possibly spot a new picnic shade
tree or an unculverted brook. And
the scenery is guaranteed to be
undecorated by Senator Leblanc,
DR.. Pepper and/or associates.
DR.. Crittenden suggests a pub
licity campaign by the Highway
Commission and state newspapers
urging Sunday motorists to drive
around our new roads "just for the
fun of it." To which The Daily
News adds lusty Amen.
And it wouldn't be proper not to
mention the joy this great unclut-
tering would product in the breasts
off through-traffic drivers-such as
aren't taking a bond road short cut
themselves.
Just for good measure take on
one more Amen for US, please,
while we remember again that
most frustrating experience of
mid-20th century civilization
weekday motoring behind jalopy-
full of Sunday sight-seers on
summer day.
