The Federal Government
which spent roughly $40 million
to build the Baltimore Washing
ton Parkway, has proved to be
miser when it comes to han
ding traffic cases on the road
The parkway, built to carry
40, 900 cars a day. is policed from
Jessup south, a distance OF Il
miles, by United States Park Po-
lice. Maryland State Police han
die the nine miles leading into
Baltimore.
For more than a year, motor
lists charged with speeding by
park police were required to post
collateral and appear for trial
i'm Upper Marlboro.
"It was an impossible situa-
ton" comments United States
Commissioner Samuel w. H.
IMeloy. Upper Marlboro was too
inaccessible for most parkway
motorists.
Early this year, Commissioners
Meloy and Archie Meatyard met
with Park Police and obtained
use of room from the Depart
ment of Agriculture at its Belts
vile Research Center.
The two commissioners hold
court there, next to a home eco
Monies room, on Tuesdays ana
Thursdays at 10 am. The situa-
ton has improved from the mo-
torist's point of view, from stand
point of convenience if nothing
else.
But it's still pretty terrible"
Mr.. Meloy adds.
1--WE handle 10 of 80 cases
lin our two sessions. These IN.
volve maybe $4,000 in fines and
collateral each week. We have
to do this with no clerical help,
no bailiff, no lookup, and with
the use of only one small room.
People have to stand in the halls
until their cases can be heard. "
Use of facilities in Hyattsville
are pretty we'll precluded by the
heavy docket of the county
traffic court.
The only solution. according
to commissioners and police. is
construction of small substa-
ition and court house some place
along the parkway.
But the State apparently isn't
interested. Uncle Sam, who built
THE multi-million dollar con-
crete ribbon, has shown little
concern about providing the
needed facilities.
Commissioner Meloy says he
understands q congressional ap-
preparation of about $4,000 to
nrovide such facilities is being

first "a certain priest when he saw
him, passed by on the other side"
Next came a Levite who "came
and looked on him, and passed
by on the other side" But the
good neighbor, the Samaritan,
when he saw him, he had COM
passion on him, and went to him,
and bound up his wounds, pouring

The test adds only about 80

in the smear. the diagnosis must
then be confirmed by cutting a
piece Of the tissue and examining

There are only two known
ways to cure cancer. These are

are no home remedies and no
effective drugs. although scien-
lists are pushing work in the
latter field.

by taking vaginal smear and
