Hospital Gets
For Building

Suburban Hospitals building
fund reached a landmark last
week when an anonymous friend
of the hospital contributed an adj
ditional $1,000 to make the total
of the fund 100000. This is SO
percent of the final goal of $780,
600, by far the largest amount
ever contributed by county resi-
dents to any local civic project.
Carroll Morgan, president of
the Suburban Hospital Associa-
ton, said, 1--WE are most grateful
to this lady, who has the interest
of Suburban Hospital and of the
Montgomery County area so
much at heart that she added to
her already large gift to enable
us to cross over this 100000
mark before the opening of our
modern 75-bed addition.
1.-THE new wing will be opened
with ceremonies in another four
or five weeks, dedicating it to
the service of the entire commu-
nifty"
The Suburban Hospital Associa-
ton, comprised of some 10000
friends and contributors to the
hospital, has been working for
almost two years to make finan-
cially possible the additional hos
pital facilities. The Association
started construction Of the ST.
100000 new wing in August,

70 Guards
Will Cover
Area Schools

Seventy school crossing guards
assembled in Rockville Friday
for their official swearing-in cere-
nlony to mark the eighth year of
operation of Montgomery Coun-
tvs program of maintaining these
uniformed police guards at school
crossings throughout the county
They have seven-year record of
no accidents for more than
100000 publuic, private and pa
rochial school children at school
highway crossings. This year
$4,000 children's lives will be safe
guarded.
County manager NJ. L. Reese
as director of public safety, spoke
to the guards on their responsible
tiles to the children, their demon
strated loyalty to duty and their
splendid example of performance
of civic duty.
Col. James S. McAuliffe, SUI
perintendent of police, also spoke
briefly to the group as did 1t
Charles o. Seek, school safety CO.
ordinator of Bethesda, Sgt. Will

The crossing guard program
was organized by the county un.

TENDER 1949 when the first IA
crossing guards were appointed
by the County Council. Now, in
1856, as the guards enter their
eighth year of operation, the force
has risen from the original IA to
eight men and GO women.
The first authorized budget for
crossing guards carried a salary
item of approximately $1,000 for
the IA appointees. The 1867
budget lists $66,610 for salaries on
sliding scale for 76 guards, de.
pending upon length of service
and duty hours, plus an item OF

Foley Names
SnleLserFnrn1
Problem Aide

With a strong slap at Repub-
lican farm policies John r. Foley,
Sixth District Democratic Con
gressional candidate, has ap-
pointed Charles Fl. Smelser Of
Frederick County one of his adj
visors on farm problems.
Mr.. Smelser is a member of
the Maryland House of Dele
gates, vice president of the Fred
erick County Young Democrats
Club, and a charter member of
the Jeffersonian Democratic
Club.
A member of the Frederick
County Farm Bureau, he oper-
ates a 300-acre dairy farm near
Unionville. He is a University
of Maryland graduate.
Mr. Foley says the Republi-
cans "unsound agricultural poll
cies" have created a trembling
foundation" for the farm econ
omy. A stable national econ
omy" cannot be maintained on
that foundation, he says.
The Republican party seems
determined to ignore "the storm
warning" of falling farm prices,
shrinking farm income, and ris-
ing cost-of-living, charges the
candidate.
Though the farm problems of
the midwest have not hit dairy
farmers of the Sixth District very
hard, contends Mr. Foley, the
problems will spread like Dutch
Elm disease"
An aim of a Democratic Con-
gress would be to restore and
retain farm prosperity" says
the candidate.

linked Wheaton Diner
To Abandon Triangle

One of Wheaton's most promi-
nent landmarks and some say
one of its biggest white ele-
plants will soon disappear.
The Triangle House Restaurant
at the intersection of Georgia
Avenue and Viers Mill Road will
be hauled back to New Jersey.

for restaurants. When the
100000 diner opened it was
called the Whistle Stop. In fl
nancial difficulties after a year
and a half, the restaurant was
leased to new managers and re.
named Peter Pan Pantry House.
The new bosses got out from un.
der after six months and Joseph
j. Diamond re-opened the place
as the Triangle House last sum.
mer.
Eating places have failed to
prosper in the triangle for three
reasons, say those connected with
the ventures: poor food, an in
convenient traffic pattern at the
intersection making entry and
exit difficult, and high rents,
The operators of the Peter Pan
Pantry House repeatedly paid
$1,000 a month. Mr.. Diamond
says he paid $4,000 a year plus
a percentage of his receipts.
Paradoxically, as business after
business has gone under, the
value of the tract has spiraled
higher and higher.
Owned by Syndicate
The 22,500 square foot triangle
has been owned since the early
SOS by a four-man syndicate -
Walter Swanson, William Brig
field, William Casson, and Carl
Sommers. Mr.. Birgfeld says the
syndicate is now selling the
tract "for a hell of lot more
than we paid" He doesn't name
the buyer or indicate to what use
the land will be put.
The stainless steel diner was
hauled in two pieces from New
Jersey where it was built. Trans.
portation cost $1,000, the founda-
ton, 100000, according to Mr..
Birgfeld. The diner opened in
1858, about the same time
Georgia Avenue was widened to
four lanes.
The restaurant has a counter
with 35 stools, 10 four-place
booths, and two private dining
rooms. Mr.. Birgfeld expects the
diner to be hauled to its new
site in New Jersey soon.

in the '40's when almost all the
