Maryland Notes
Road Sufety Rise

BALTIMORE, Mar. 2 tR.-
The Maryland Traffic Safet.
Commission reported today tina
traffic fatalities for the first twt
months of 1857 were down 81
per cent from the same periot
last year.
The commission said 70 per
sons were killed on Maryland
highways in January and Feb
ruary of 1856 while SO wer,
killed in the same two months
this year.
The commission attributed The
decrease to the concerted nation
wide campaign to focus atten

point of collection to be used
without restriction in the district.
$1.2 Million for Roads
The race tracks receipts have
always been used for road financ-
ing. This means that some ST.
million received from the State
this year has been used for road
projects in the Suburban District
Under the Reese recommended
ton. only some 100000 of these
funds would be restricted to road
use and that would be on a
countrywide basis.
The biggest share of the rest
would go into the general fund
to be used as needed.
Mr.. Reese proposes that the
10-cent tax rate be continued
as a special area tax to finance
the street cleaning and lighting
and tree planting programs. OPP
Grafton of the service buildings
in Bethesda and Silver Spring
would be financed out of general
revenues.
There is a feeling that Mr.
Reese would like to abolish the
suburban tax rate entirely but
feels the county next year will
not be able to absorb the cost
because of the tight financial
pinch it is in.
Would Mean Changes
Absorption by the county of
these special services would mean
they would have to be offered
where needed in the rural area.
Abolition of the district long
has been considered in the
county.
MI. Reese contends replacing
the district with a special tax
ing area will streamline a part
Of the county's tax program.
e. Such action will end an
unwieldy, inconsistent, outdated
and sometimes unfair taxing pro-
gram and replace it with a prac-
teal and realistic. up-to-date
and manageable program a
spokesman for the manager re-
Gently said.
The Council acted favorably
on the Reese proposal and urged
legislation at Annapolis to eff
feet it.
The Allied Civil Group, how
ever. has approved a resolution
calling for maintenance Of the
status quo. This was on recon-
mendation of the groups High
way Committee.
Study Continuing
The Allied Civic Group has not
closed its mind on the question.

headed by Robert L. Reading

and the Suburban District OF
State revenues returned to the
county.
Under the Reese proposal some
$500, 900 now restricted to Subur-
ban District would be tossed into
the county's general treasury to
be used at the County Councils
will.
Mr.. Reese contends the Subur-
ban District has outlived its USE
fulness. He feels it has created
a bookkeeping nightmare and
ties the hands of the county
when it comes to using money
where it is most needed.
Established 30 Years Ago
The Suburban District takes in
most of the heavily built-up area
of the country outside the cor
porate limits of municipalities
1t was established by the Mary
land General Assembly 80 years
ago and the then County Com
misSioners were authorized tc
levy a special tax up to 80 cents
per $l00 on property in the Dis
trict.
The tax revenues were to pro-
vide special services the sub
urban area required that were
not needed in the rural sec.
tons. Under the law the county
government also was authorized
to levy additional special assess
ments on property benefited BY
street construction but that au-
thority now extends throughout
the county.
Today the Suburban District
tax rate is 10 cents per $100 Of
assessed valuation and produces
more than 100000 in revenue
This money finances street
cleaning and lighting and tree
planting in the suburban area

been passed over the years pro.

The 10O-plus rooms Of the official mansion are
a far cry from the bare earth shack on the remote
sugar plantation where Fulgencio Batista entered
the world From the bleak poverty of his boyhood
he pulled himself up by his cavalry bootStraps
rising to the rank of sergeant in the army, and
then, in one stroke in 1888, promoting himself to
colonel and virtual ruler of the country. Though
forced into luxurious exile in Miami in 1914, he
reganed power in a bloOdleSS coup in 1852.
Today, at Sc, dapperly dressed in collarless
sports jacket and livid polka-dot tie, President
Batsta patrols his palace with the air Of a self
made man who has earned his success He makes
bones about the fact that polish and culture
qualities he's acquired the hard way, making
time for study by reading into the late hours of the
night, getting along 4 hours sleep learning
shorthand in odd moments. In the tradition of
Latin polticoS, he has amaSSed large personal
fortune, but his financial gains have been on
modest scale compared to some previous officials
of Cuba. He is popular with the average Cubano,
who sees nothing untoward in his own summation
that he is "a dictator with the people" With
subordinates, and cronies who often call him by
the nickname "F'ulge"), President Batista is
jovial and kindly man. but when his smile changes
to a scowl as he barks order. the kidding stops
abruptly

to the presidency of Cuba and sits benignly if
somewhat insecurity, in the government palace in
Havana Three revolutionary Skrmishes in the past
few months have made things bit tense in Cuban
government circles but the effect on Senior Batsta
himself is hardly noticeable devoted family man
with four strapping sons. he seems almost to regret
the press of official duties that keeps him from
being the full time father he'd like to be.
Happiest when he's playing marbles with his
youngest sons talking sports and horsemanship
with his oldest boy. President Batista makes time
every day for fatherly sessions because, as he
explains, he wants the children to know him as

Your child's general health de-
pends largely on his eating hab-
its, the specialist adds. The most
important factor in a good diet
is that it be varied to include ade-
quate amounts of food from each
of the -our basic food groups.
In general, the followin g
amounts are needed for both
young and old: Two or more serv-
ings per day from the meat
group, including fish, poultry,
eggs, dry beans and peas, and
nuts. Three to four servings a
day from the bread and cereal
group are adequate. From the
fruit and vegetable group eat four
or more servings per day. These
should include at least one serv-
ing of a dark green or deep yell
low vegetable and one of the cit
rus fruits.
The amount needed in the milk
group, which includes ice cream
and cheese, varies with age. Child
rem need the equivalent of three
to four cups per day.
