OF Mutual Concern

Your editorial Of July /.
entitled "Of Mutual Con-
Germ" indorsing the recent
creation of the new WASH
ington Metropolitan Regional
Conference as a sensible
move to study the health
problems that are common to
the entire region, is both log
ical and timely. Particularly
does this apply to adequate
hospital facilities and the
pollution of the Potomac. the
chief source of water for this
region.
This became quite apparent
during the heated public dis
cussion last fall in Mont
gomery County regarding the
Silver Spring Hospital Asso-
citation bill. I had a very
interesting discussion with
Mrs. Stella Werner. member
of the County Council. She.
too, urged the regional APP
proach. I discussed this mat
ter with John w. Thompson.
jr.. assistant managing editor
of The Star, who in an adj
dress at the annual banquet
of the Allied Civic Group a
few months earlier had urged
the metropolitan approach in
such problems as "transpor-
tation" and water supply"
Specifically I raised the ques-
ton of the feasibility of the
authority approach in this
hospital facilities field. He
didn't think that the hospital
situation was particularly APP
propriate for the authority
approach.
The Washington Metropol-
itan Regional Conference
idea-study. research and
planning-seems much bet
ter adapted to the situation.
I think the steering com :
mittee of the conference can
render a great service in the
regional solution Of a number
of problems such as a con-
certed attack on polio, rabies
and other diseases, better con-
troll of TB victims. better ia
cilities for the mentally Ill
and the aged. a united front
in fighting the increasing
dangers of river pollution and,
last but not least, the ade-
quacy of hospital facilities in
each community. More power
to you!

Chides Safety Council

Each holiday. experts" Of
the National Safety Council
predict the number of fatal
accidents which will occur on
our highways. This is usually
the number of holiday deaths
occurring on the highways a
year ago plus 10 or SO. The
figure is generally over 500
and it is repeated on the hour
throughout the holiday week
end. At the end of the holi-
day, NSC then makes the
stereotyped announcement
that they are either happy
that their prediction was too
high (if the death rate is
lower than predicted), or
that they are unhappy that
their prediction was too low
(if the death rate is higher
than predicted. Then, we
don't hear anything more
from the NSC until the next
holiday.
The NSC predictions are
unrealistic. There are an
average Of ITO deaths on our
highways each and every day
of the year, or 440 during a
four-day period. Thus. when
the NSC predicted 535 deaths
for the July 4 holiday week
end, they gave many people
the impression that the only
time hundreds of deaths
occur on the highways is
during a holiday. Their pre-
diction should have been:
There will be IS more
deaths on the highways this
four-day week end than on a
normal four-day week end"
The number of highway
deaths expected and broad
cast hourly by the NSC has
scared virtually every milque-
toast, and even many nor
NAL drivers, off the highways
during a holiday week end.
Toward the end of the holi-
day period. traffic speed be-
comes Unfortunately slower
and slower, and long lines of
cars form on the highway.
This slowing down seems to
be directly correlated with
the number and direness of
the announcements made by
the NSC. Thus. most normal
drivers eventually must pass
the slow driver who has be-
come frightened and alarmed
by the NSC broadcasts. This
entails passing under condi-
tons that sometimes are not
ideal and. ! believe. is what
causes a large proportion OF
fatal accidents.
In fact. it is just as haz-
ardous TO drive too slowly on
a crowded highway as it is to
drive too fast. Perhaps. the
NSC will encourage laws
which will penalize slow
drivers chose who have 10
or more cars following them
Just the same as we now
penalize speeders.

Dear Sir:
II have a friend who

flowers. and anyway. he is

Of moving the grass.

treatment?

The patio comes to us
from the great Southwest.
where bare grounds make
them more permissible.
With us, in this vicinity,
the patio is an attempt to
combine the unitarian with

1t is here. one may be-
lieve, that the idea OF up
setting the whole lawn and
turning it into a big patio
can come into its own.
Especially. with older per-
sons.
The upkeep Of a good lawn
is laborious.
AS far as can be seen. the
motor mowers do not change
this in the least.

Your Holiday Frulitake
Can Be Put In Freezer
Freeze a fruitcake!

NN<<I q II StAtNSAN1'
This time-saving idea for
homemakers comes from exten-
sion nutrition specialists at the
Ohio State University
Fruit cakes are particularly
adaptable for freezing, according
to the specialists. The cake stays
moist because of the fruits and
fat present, and the flavor be-
comes blended and mellow be-
cause Of the many nuts in it..
The nutritionists say that the
baked fruit cake can be wrap
ped and stored in oven glass
ware or that the cake can be
baked in metal pans, removed
and cooled, then wrapped and
stored in the freezer. A good
quality freezer wrapping mater
ial that is moisture-vapor proof
should be used
Since fruit cakes are rather
compact and sturdy, they are
not likely to get mashed or dent
ed in the freezer. Or your local
bakery usually will have avail
able convenient boxes for pack
aging.
So if you made your own holi-
day fruit cake, you may want to
store it in your home freezer or
freezer locker for later use.
