and the like. In such training the school child will learn to
respect the rights Of motorists, and to know that an automo-
bile or truck is nothing to be played with, and that a wrong
move either BY the driver Or the school child could result in
death.
FINALLY, THE entire community should be enlisted n
a program to help safeguard the lives Of the children. Parents
and Others, through parent-teacher groups and other civic
organizations, and the churches, should be invited 70 take
part in a constant program for safety, and 2 general aware
ness of what is entailed.
OF COURSE, all this should be done in cooperation
with the police force and the schools, being the ones directly
involved.

SCHOOL-TRAFFIC PROBLEM

HER is NO doubt whatever that as the human race
makes progress the number Of responsibilities increase pro
portionateh. And this is almost the infallible rule.
THE OPENING OF the Christiansted High School at
what used to be Estate Richmond land therefore ruraD brings
very definite traffic problems which could develop into great
hazards and endless problems for all concerned The time,
therefore, to look into the matter is right now.
H NEW Christiansted High School is about a mile from
center Of town., and to those who live in the Ganows Bay
area, even farther. This means that at least twice daily hun
dreds of school children Of practically all ages swarm over
the streets going to and from school As is to be expected
children do not have the sense of understanding and regard
for safety which adults have, Or are supposed to have. They
play in the streets, Ioiter from corner to corner, and even
reach out to touch vehicles as they pass BY. Add to this the
seeming disregard of some motorists for any safety regula-
lions, and the reader Immediately gets a picture OF the haz-
ard which looms ever larger and larger.
IT SEEMS TO S that something must be done, and
soon. There are several steps which could be taken. First, in
stitute in the school a system of safety school patrols where
BOYS are given. uniforms, or some appropriate insignia, and
assigned to those intersections most likely to present the
greatest traffic problem. These boys latter proper training)
could be formed into a sort Of honor guard, rotating periodi-
cany, 50 that all who qualify will have an opportunity to
serve. This is a common practice in all the schools OF big
cities on the mainland.
SECOND ANSWER is the formation Of a group Of
snecial police. properly trained, and with authority TO- handle
traffic wherever the need arises. In other places these are
women, often mothers Of children of school age who know
what it means TO insure the safety and health Of their chill
dren against an %onrushing car or truck.
THIRD STEP is the institution Of q safety program
in the school itself. Children are taught the meaning Of signs

undertook to find out how the
pests could be eliminated and
learned that the University of
Maryland will supply milky spore
through the County Agricultural
Agent on a first come-first serV-
ed basis to groups requesting
treatment of their property.

They used to crawl back into
their holes about 7 o'clock, but
lately they eat right through
from dinner til midnight.
Over on the north side of Twin
brook, an energetic group of
neighbors who didn't want to
wait for the County to establish
priorities went ahead with their
own treatment Shirley Hatch of
Bradley Court bought $25 worth
of the stuff and divided it into
a pound lots which she resold
to 81 neighbors who treated their
own yards. Shirley was especial
ly pleased by the cooperation of
neighbors who are renting their
houses but are disposed to leave
the place improved by their ten
ancy.
Last Sunday morning, the heat
got into the DreW's car which
was parked in front of their
house at 1911 Bradley Avenue.
The hand brake slipped off and
the car rolled down the street,
up on a neighbours lawn, over a
small tree, back into the street,
just missing a parked car and
the fire hydrant. BY this time a
neighbor was giving chase and
had almost caught it when it
veered off around the corner and
over the curb, passing between a
telephone pole and the supporting
cable.
1t was headed for the front
door of a house almost two blocks
from its starting point when it
passed so close to another small
tree that a branch caught in the
door handle and brought the ride
to an easy stop.

Who said teen.agers aren't re-
sponsive. The other night the
Glenmont Senior Teen Club spon-
sored a juke-box party and over
200 youngsters showed up.
So did Bill Mayhugh, one of
the local disc jockeys. He play
ed records, chatter with the kids,
and gave out albums of records
to the door prize winners. When
he returned to his local station
he dedicated a portion of his pro-
gram to the Glenmont group.
This was terrific night for all.

from the incident was the scrap

The extension of the area to

allow TWinbrook residents one

sure that once the privilege is eX-

little chance for TWinbrook resi-

All, the pull of the SENTINEL.
When Mr.. Hicks, the new leas-
ing agent for the Wheaton Plaza,
suggested that we poll our read
'ers to state their preferences, if
any, as to the type of stores they
would like to see locate in this
new regional shopping center, l
had no idea that ! would receive
such varied ideas and suggestions
as to what the populace would
like.
"Woodies," Kanns, and Garfin-
ckels are the three department
stores most people asked for.
But, please, they all said, don't
let my preference keep any other
department stores from coming
here. They all feel that Greater
Wheaton can easily support two
big stores and would like to see
them all built yesterday.
Bowling alleys, movies, a good
five and ten, women's casual
clothing, mems clothing, high
priced, low priced, teen-age store,
speciality shops, curio shops, an
ice palace were all mentioned and
l could go on and on. Oh, yes, a
really fine family-type restaurant
that caters to children.
Jean Grunig, as we'll as the
others, was concerned that the
lack of landseaping may mar the
project. This has been the one
big grippe that is heard all year
round.
