Area Transit Bill
Hailed by HYDE

Montgomery County residents
have reason for being pleased
with the decision of the Senate
and House conferees to substitute
the Hyde Bill for the Johnson
Bill to regulate the transporta-
ton of passengers in the metro
politan area, Congressman De-
Witt S. Hyde said this week.
AS approved, the measure is
combined with another to estab-
fish a commission to study area
transportation problems.
The new Commission can re-
quire metropolitan area carriers
to establish through routes and
joint fares with other carriers.
The new law will give the Com
mission the authority to require
the transit company to continue
service on any route even though
that particular route may not be
showing a profit.
The Commission can take into
consideration the overall finan-
cial picture of the company in its
decision on a request for discon-
tinuance of service. The law
under which we have been operat-
ing left the Public Service Com
mission with no alternative other
than to discontinue the service if
the company could show the par
ticular route in question was not
making a profit.

FROM ION TOP OF THE
SOAP Box comes shouts of the
highest praise for the city rec
reation program at our play
ground this summer. If there are
any of you who aren't familiar
with the goings-on over there in
the area near Vandergrift and
Atlantic Avenues, you have two
more weeks to drop by from 9
am. to $3.50 pm.
During those hours you may
see two ball teams in serious "big
league play on the diamond, or
badminton games in progress.
There is always table tennis
game. The smaller ones can be
seen having lots of fun playing
supervised games in the earlier
morning hours, and then busy
under the shed with pot holder
weaving, or gimp work with Mrs.
Mason. They have made ash
trays from clay and painted
them, and puppets will be dry
enough to paint during the last
week. This week they were fas-
n cinated with shell work and
Gturned out some gifts of hair
ribbons and ties on velvet that
anyone would like to have. Dur
ing the last week there is basket
weaving to look forward to.
The older youngsters have been
busy with modelling supervised
by AL Richardson. Both boys and
girls have made house name
plates, tie racks, etc.-and very
finished pieces at that-in Mr..
Sacco's woodworking class. Mrs.
Korb's dry swim class might be
in full swing as you walk up, or
a Senior Counselor might be
playing records at the record
table under the trees for the lit
tie ones. They might be listening
to Beethoven's Midsummer
Nights Dream" and that is a
picture you wouldn't forget-the
expressions on their faces are so
intent.
