tradition was his second cousin,
Robert Louis Stevenson. the
author.
His father was a lighthouse
engineer and when Robert be-
came a barrister and then a
successful novelist, well. you
can see that hi. father would
regard him as something of a
black Sheep" he added.
Had No Choice"
In my own case, really had
no choice. My father started
taking me to lighthouses when
I was very young. In fact. 1
believe I saw my first one in
1905" Mr.. Stevenson said.
Before he started devoting
full time to study and writing
about lighthouses, Mr.. Steven
son, who now lives in Edin-
burah, helped build a number
of them in Scotland and other
places around the world; served
as chief engineer for light
houses in India and Burma for
a number of years, and devel-
oped a talking beacon.

Full Time Urged
For Auto Post

BALTIMORE, Sept. 27 (AP) .
Delegate Edgar P. Silver,
Democrat of Baltimore, urged
yesterday that the Office of
State commissioner of motor
vehicles be made a merit posi-
ton and taken "orlt of politics. !"
Mr.. Silver made his recon-
mendation at a session of the
Legislative Councils Committee
on Motor Vehicles. The COM
mittee, which Mr.. Silver heads,
is studying ways of improving
motor vehicle administration in
the State. Under the current
system. the commissioner is ap-
pointed every four years by the
Governor.
Mr.. Silver suggested that the
motor vehicle commissioner be
given permanent status on a
full-time basis. The job is now
an $8,000-a-year part time po-
sition occupied by John r.
Jewell, appointed last year by
Gov. Tawes.
The committee chairman
said he hoped Mr.. Jewell would
be made permanent commits
Sioner under the plan.

Montgomery Registers
1000 in Last Hours

An estimated 1000 Mont
gomery County citizens crowd
ed the county courthouse in
Rockville last night to register
to vote before the books closed
at midnight for the November
election.
Ward w. Caddington, ma
jority clerk of the Permanent
Board of Registry. said the last
minute rush was about the
heaviest he could remember.
Registration officials, who
originally had planned to go
home at 9 pm. had to stay an
extra three hours to handle
long lines Of citizens.
The line stretched at one
time out of the courthouse,
across a parking lot and around
the block. Many of the citi-
zens carried young children. A
few tuned in to the Nixon-Ken-
nedy debate on portable radios.
While the citizens waited,
they were bombarded with lit
erature by Republican and
Democratic workers.
Both candidates for Congress
in Maryland's Sixth District.
John r. Foley, the Democratic
incumbent, and Charles (Mac)
Matthias. his Republican chal-
lenger. spoke to as many watt
ing citizens as they could.
! Both parties have been push
ing voter registration drives.
Poll workers at the Hyatts-
vile County Building worked
until 1 am. today registering
voters.
/ Prince Georges County
yesterday held the last of
three countrywide registrations
which. along with the last Two
Friday night sessions in the
County Building, is expected
to add between $4,000 and TO-
900 names to the rolls.
! Registration in the County
Building yesterday was sched-
uled to be only for residents
of Hyattsville precinct. Elec-
ton officials. however. went
to the building in the evening
when large groups arrived from
other precincts thinking they
could register there regardless
of where they lived. Extra ia
bles were set up to process
them.

Rockville Weighs
Vendor Bell Ban

A regulation to prohibit the
ringing of vendors bells before
l pm. on Sundays was pre-
sented to the Rockville City
Council last night.
The regulation would become
an amendment to the city's
hawker and peddler code if ap-
proved by the council when it
comes up for a vote at a later
meeting. Complaints of a
Twinbrook minister that ring
ing bells on ice cream trucks
interfere with his sermons LED
to the proposal.
In another action, the coun-
Gil awarded a $21.85O contract
to the A. H. Smith Co. of

reconsideration by the County
Board in order to get more
information.
He noted that Mr.. Richards
had attacked the highway,
which cuts through the Army
Navy Country Club, as pri-
msrily benefiting Fairfax com
muters and serving to bail
out" apartment owners who
have overbuilt along Columbia
Pike.
Yet, said DR.. Blevins, the
highways most consistent sup
porter has been Herbert L.
Brown, chairman of the board
and a member of ABC. In AL
most every instance, he said,
Mr.. Brown has been supported
by Mr.. Wilt.
Mr.. Richards again de-
nounced the highway as an ill
conceived plan" and reiterated
that it was designed to help
apartment owners because their
rents had become soft"
He also attacked a state
ment by DR.. Blevins that taxes
had risen 81 per cent since
the. ABC took control of the
county board in 1858.

and seconded the motion which
increased the business privilege

Mr.. Wilt proposed what he
called a major overhaul" in
the county's zoning ordnance.
He suggested new apartment
and commercial classifications
which. he said, would not per-
nit additional development,
but which would permit finer

"Service Benefits" make the big difference
in health protection plans! Here's why!

With Group disqualification, Inc. Wash
ington's Blue Cross Plan there is no dollar
limit on the Service Benefits" you can
receive. Instead, the Plan is expressly de-
signed to cover most-and sometimes all
of the hospital care you need to get weA!
This means that when hospital costs go up,
the value of your Service Benefits" goes
up too. You're protected against such cost
increases s-automaticaLy
Blue Cross and Blue Shield are convent
ent, easy to use. Your hospital bill for
Service Benefits goes directly to Group
disqualification for payment. And Medical
Service, the plan that helps cover doctor
bills, pays participating physicians. No red
tape. No complicated forms to fill out
Rarely do you need to pay your o,Un money
and then await reimbursement.
Evening star., 1960-09-27

Important advantages like these are among
the reasons why the Metropolitan Washing
ton Board of Trade has provided Blue Cross
and Blue Shield protection for its employees
since the Plans became available in Wash
mgton, D.. C.
AS Executive Vice President William H.
Press of the Board of Trade points out, LAS
one OF the original group subscribers, we
have found over the years, as hospital and
medical costs went up, our benefits have
never stood still. That's one of the best
things about Service Benefits - they keep
