Commissioner Robert e. Nc
Laughlin, speaking to the Chevy
Chase Citizens Association. last
night defended the secrecy
surrounding present dealings be-
tween the Public Utilities Com
mission and private companies
on transit proposals.
Such procedure is necessary in
this stage Of negotiations, he
said. But as soon as a company
is selected to succeed the Capital
Transit Co., the commission "in-
tends to make the whole matter
public" he added.
The Commissioner went on to
say that. If public transit is to
be managed by a private CONF
pany-which all concerned be-
lieve to be preferable to Govern
ment control--then I'VE must
have a service economical enough
to give that private concern
some reasonable return"
He pointed this out as a major
reason why. ultimately. none OF
the streetcars (which cost 40 per
cent more to run than Buses
should remain on the street" He
said they also prevent q possible

Record Setting Win
GivesPatfy BergLead
In Money Winnings
BY the Associated Press


AUGUSTA, Ga, Mar. f4.-In
addition to the prestige of win
ming her sixth Women's Title
holders golf championship. red
haired Patty Berg counted her
material gain today and found
herself leading the money-win-
ming derby on the girls winter
golfing circuit.
Her record-breaking 291 for
the 72-hole T1tleholders event
made Patty feel right at home
when the time came to pick up
the check. The St. Andrews Ull)
veteran, who turned 81 q few
weeks ago, won the first three
Titleholders in 1937-8-9, came
back in 1948 for her fourth and
annexed No. 5 two years ago.
Fer winners portion of the
$4,000 purse was $1,000. 1t en-
abled Patty to creep ahead of
Mrs. Jackie Pung of Honolulu in
the purse-grabbing stakes.
Final Round Hurts Jackie
Miss Berg's take for eight
tournaments this winter is 4,247.
Mrs. Pung, the housewife from
Hawaii, won only $107.50 for her
14th-place finish and brought
her tournament earnings to
$4,187. In a fourth-place tie
with 226 before yesterdays final
round, Mrs. Pung scared to 86
and barely finished in the money.
Miss Berg could thank her
sizzling second-round SO for her
two-stroke triumph over Mary
Lena Faulk of ThomaSville, Ga.
The steady Miss Faulk, a pro
only six weeks, played the most
consistent golf in the tourna-
ment with a 72-73-74-74-293
card. Her total matched the old
tournament record set last year
by Louise Suggs of Sea Island,
Ga, and bettered by two strokes
yesterday by Miss Berg.
Patty's So set new 18-hole
tournament record. 1t gave her
the lead after a 76 in the first
round. The champion was 74-73
for the last two days.
Pat Lesser Low Amateur
Betsy Rawls of Spartanburg,
S. c., and Miss Suggs equaled
Pattys 73 and shared the best
score of the final round. Betsy
wound up third with 297 and
Louise was fourth with 301.
Pat Lesser of Seattle was low
amateur with 3O6.

to his friends who came in the
shop.
Laurence bought the George
Jackson place adjoining the store
and his wife and Robert tore
down the old log cabin that
George lived in, so they could
start building their home. Their
youngest child, Pauline, was born
here.
Georgia Avenue was now paw

The main front section was u.s.
ed for this purpose with space to
work on six cars at a time. Five
machines were kept busy taking
care of the many breakdowns.
There was a stairway in the gar
age section and most of the hard
ware was kept upstairs.
What is now the housewares
department was added and used
for the display of Goodyear tires
and the supertwist machine
which was strung with cords at
all times for demonstrations.

youth discovered the brakes on

In 1871, a partnership was
formed between Robert and his
Dad. 1t was now known as L. w.
White & Son. During the war
years while Stanley was in the
service, Bob, his Dad and Jake
Davis carried on with Hilda doing
the bills and other book work at
home. Bills now went out every
month.
Business continued to grow, es-

ing. Most of this work was done
by Bob, his Dad and Stanley,
with the help of any other men
working at the time.
In 1850 Laurence became in
active in the business, sold his
home to Bob and TIilda, and pur-
chased a lovely place on Ballard
Street, Silver Spring. The old tim
ers predicted that he would not
be happy living there after be
ing born and raised at Norbeck.
But he and his wife have fooled
everybody and are living a very
quiet and peaceful life.

In 1910, Laurence married the
former Maude Hull and moved
into the home now occupied by
the Eddie Bowman's of Bowman
Service Station. His son, Robert,
and daughters, Margaret and
Mary, were born there. Robert
was following in his Dads shoes
by staying around the shop
every spare moment. One day
he mashed his finger playing
around the old anvil, and walked
all the way home with his finger
in a jar of water so it wouldn't
hurt.
In 1917, at the age of 60, Grand
pa White sold the shop to Lau-
renee. That is where the first
of the many additions was start
ed. Laurence took on hardware,
feed and farm supplies, so a large
section was added to stock these.
The following year, he put in
one of the first one gallon, hand
cranked gasoline pumps in Mont
gomery County. Gas was hauled
from Rockville by two horse
tank wagon, driven by Stacey Belt
and Mr.. Merry. Grandpa White
still worked, but his health was
failing. He was still loved by
all and had good time talking

left to Whites.
Grandpa White died at the age
of 10 in 1924. AT the time, he
was living with one of his daugh-
ters at Germantown.
In 1881, the blacksmith and
wheelwright business was discon-
tinued. All the horseshoeing and
wheelWright tools that were be-
yond use were stored away. The
anvil is still in use in the shop,
but the hand blower was sold.
This room was now used for ma
chinery. parts. Farmers were
showing an interest in gasoline
driven farm machinery, so in 1885
with the help of Robert, another
addition was built to house the
John Deere line of farm machin-
cry.
1t was at this time that Stan
ley Burroughs asked for job.
Laurence White asked how long
he would stay if he hired him.
Stanley replied, "I'll stay until
you run me away" Except for
three years in the service he has
done just that.
Laurence was a Woodworking
man, putting in long hours. In
those days, the store was open
from Z a. m. to p. m, six days a
week and the only holiday was
Christmas day. He did improve
over Grandpa White and sent
bills out twice a year No ma
chine can ever sharpen a cross
cut or hand saw or even a lawn
