Says County PTA
Sour Milk-AlmOst

Sour" Milk for the county's
school lunch program was
narrowly averted by a four to
three vote by the School Board
Monday against its cafeteria
supervisors proposal to reject
all milk bids because the price
of raw milk had been dropped
between the submission and
opening of the bids.
j. V. Morgan, Jr., attorney
for the low bidder, Chestnut
Farms, said that such action
would be unfair to his COM
pany since the bids had been
made public after opening. An
estimated $356,000 for the
coming year was involved in
Chestnut FARMS bid of 1854
cents for a half pint of milk.
The board voted to accept
the low bid and cancel a new
bid opening set for July 5. A
need for haste was urgent in
order to qualify by July Is for
the Federal aid to the school
milk program.

Pontiac Says
Robert Evans
Has Won One

PONTIAC, Mich Mr.. Robert
L. Evans of Rte. 2, Great Falls
Road, was doubtless the happiest
citizen in Rockville after he was
informed by Frank V. Bridge,
general sales manager, Pontiac
Motor Division, that he had just
won a brand new 1857 Pontiac.
Mcneil Pontiac, Bethesda deal
er who sponsored the contest To-
cally in cooperation with Pontiac,
informed Mr.. Evans personally
that he was one of 100 persons
around the country that had been
selected TO receive a new car in
Pontiac's Drive the Champ" con-
test.
Surprised and very pleased
over his good fortune, Evans
could hardly believe that he had
just won a new Pontiac.
Mr.. Evans entered the contest
at Mcneil Pontiac, never guessing
that he would actually win one OF
the 100 Pontiacs provided by Pom
tiac Motor Division.

County Travel Will
Again Be Most
Rapid to District

Major road repair and con-
struction of arteries linking
Maryland with Washington
together are slowing motor
lists in inter-area travel, but
State Roads Commission en-
gineers predicted completion
of work would speed travel
at a faster rate than before.
Their forecasts offset survey
by the American Automobile As
ISOLATION which showed that
Maryland motorists spend a few
minutes more time getting to
and from Washington than do
Virginians from equi-distant
points.
A SRC spokesman said delays
are caused by construction going
on along U. S. Route 240, the
Rockville Pike, and because there
are no radial or belt roads con-
Meeting Northwest Washington
and Montgomery County.
Using downtown Washington
as a hub, the AAA mapped out
IS routes, Is miles long. The
route drivers, men and women,
ranged from Washington l.
Cleveland, secretary Of the d. G.
division Of AAA, to cashiers and
clerks.
The survey disclosed that: the
most time-consuming route - 50
minutes in, So minutes out was
the Roelevilleto.1N Washington trek
via u. S. Route 240, Old George,
town Road, Goldsboro Road to
Massachusetts Avenue, over Ne.
braska Avenue TO Foxhall Road
and Canal Road and onto the
Whitehurst Freeway.
Next slowest route was from
Fairfax, Va, via U. S. Route so,
across Memorial Bridge. This trip
took 81 minutes over road
straight as a die and consider
ably wider than nearly all of the
lle.Washington route.
Although the AAA survey re-
manned objective, II is evident
that nearly all Marylanders have
considerably more city traffic to
buck than Virginians. The AAA
concluded that, Because of the
increase in traffic predicted . +.
Not until the inner and outer belt
expressways :. and adequate Po-
tomac River crossings are con-
structed can we look forward1to

A resume of the survey follows:
The results showed that motor

DrOuning;s
Double So
Far In 81

More persons drowned IN
Montgomery County during
the last two weeks than dur
ing the summers of 1954-55.
Four drowned last summer.
The toll is the highest except
for the flood deaths in the
Seneca last year-in recent
history.
Police and county officials were
at loss to explain the .upswing
in accidental drownings, the ma
jority of which occurred in the
Potomac near Great Falls. But
for the incredible survival of
man who was swept through
Great Falls rapids, the two-week
total would have set a record for
a similar period.
Oldtimers concurred that at
least seven persons persisted in
similar period some years ago,
but records could not confirm
that.
While investigating the drown
ings the Sentinel discovered that
although Montgomery County
has jurisdiction over the Potomac
within its borders, it does not pa
troll the river nor does it have any
rescue boats. The only authority
the county exerts on the water
way so far has been in restrain
ing boatsmen from reckless oper-
alton.
Under an amendment to state
law, county police have arrested
four persons for operating their
boats in such. manner as 10
cause injury or damage to per.
sons or property in Seneca Creek.
One forfeited $27.50, another was
lectured and fined $500 and
cases against two others are
pending.
Superintendent of Police Col.
James S. McAuliffe said that as
far as he knew there was no. le-
gal way, within his jurisdiction,
to prohibit swimming or wading
in the Potomac. But you can
quote me as saying / know of no
more deceptive, treacherous
water than that from Great Falls
to our border" he said.
Fairfax (Va.) Police Captain
William Durrer went to his COM
munity Park Authority to deter
mine whether he could place signs
warning of the danger to would
be swimmers in the Potomac. He
said that the matter now rests
with Virginia's State Attorney.
A spokesman for the Washing.
ton-National Capital Parks Serv.
ice said that his agency has pro
tective jurisdiction over much of
the land including and bordering
the river and the c & o Canal,
but he said he did not think the
authority extended to prohibit
swimming and fishing, much less
boating.
And so far as the county licens-
ing board and the police depart
ment knew, it is not necessary to
have a county license to operate a
boat. In this vein. a Sentinel re-
porter talked to a farmer in Sug-
arland, near Jacksonville, who
said that while fishing from his
boat last Sunday, he was nearly
run down in the Potomac by two
racing speedboats.
The law states that six knots
an hour is the maximum. Last
year, a 19-year-old youth was
drowned when his speeding boat
