opened 80 years ago, almost
by accident. Like the other
Washington stalwarts, it's still
going strong. In fact, it has
never gone stronger than it is
at present, its owners say, and
deServedly so.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Pratt
opened Aldo's in 1881, they
simply started out by serving
friends who dropped in for
something to eat. 1t was al
most a family affair, with lit
tie thought given to perma-
nency. But gradually-almost
unintentionally it became a
business. 1t has grown from an
original seating capacity of
40 to more than 200. The first
dining room was in the Pratt

Mr.. Lewis, in fact, probably
is much the same as when he

clearly, all of which marks her
as an old-fashioned girl.
She is a welcome old-fash-

songs as "S'Wonderful," Mis-

Some of the best restaurants

They should not be missed

and continue to do so daily.
The new ones still have to
pass the toughest test of all

their fine food consistently. If
they do they will stick around.
If they do not, they won't.
Some of the new ones, as
we've indicated in previous COL

continue to maintain high
quality-both in food and Serv-

Every year the sound and the

Kordella Urges
Major Changes
In Road Plan
AAA Magazine
Story Details
Highway Needs

AT least four major changes
are necessary in scheduling of
proposed new highways in
Montgomery County, according
to Joseph C. Kordella, director
of the county's department of
public works.
Kordella's views are outlined
in feature article appearing in
The American Motorist, official
magazine of the District of Co
lumbia Division of the Amer.
lean Automobile Association,
which will be dispatched to
members in the mail on April 1.
The county official lists four
projects chat need to be moved
ahead to an earlier completion
date" due to unforeseen devel-
opments since priorities were
first assigned. Such develop.
ments include a 2OO0-home tract
now being built in the area be-
tween Rockville and Manor
Country Club, the article says
under the title, Montgomery
County Plans to Avoid Road
Strangulation.v
because fast.moving devel.
opments may bring more roads
near strangulation," the article
continues, lit is imperative that
the State Roads Commission be
urged to allocate funds to meet
these needs. 1t is generally rec.
ognized that highway construc.
ton In other parts OF the State
has made far greater progress
than Montgomery County, con-
sidering comparative population
growths and highway needs"
Kordella will meet with the
State Roads Commission in the
near future for a presentation
on primary and secondary
roads, including these changes
in priority.
Chief among his points, he
said, will be the fact announced
recently by State Roads Com
missioner John Funk that Geor-
gia ave. is the second most
heavily travelled road in the en-
tire state. Georgia ave-, from
Glenmont to Norbeck, is one of
the four routes cited as needing
acceleration in the Motorist ar
ticle.
The other three include Con.
necticut ave. from Kensington
to Georgia ave., also serving the
2000-home area now under con-
struction near Rockville; Old
Georgetown I'd. from Wiscon-
sin ave. to the Capital Beltway;
and the New Northern Parkway
which will pick up where 18th
Street Extended leaves off and
carry 1t parallel to Sligo Creek
to junction with University

Before the mad scramble start
ed the representation ratio of
delegates to people was in fairly
good balance. That Is to say a
state of reasonable equilibrium
had been hammered out be-
tween rural and city popula-
tons. Since their constituents
were more numerous, the coun-

the show to suit themselves. To
make matters worse, the type
of city politician who evolved
to operate the often corrupt and
despicable party machines,
which throve on mass poverty
and ignorance of the then inn

many ways a foreign mentality

Doctors
Held i'm
Contempt
Fines Assessed
By Judge Shook
In Rare Case

The head of a State men,
tai institution and one of his
aides were held in contempt
of court yesterday for their
failure to appear at a Mont
gomery County Circuit Court
hearing last Friday and were
fined $25 apiece in an unusual
court proceeding.
Judge Kathryn Lawlor Shook
imposed the fines on DR.. Harold
M. Boslow, director Of the Pa
tuxent Institute for Defective
Delinquents, and DR.. James E.
Smith, a psychiatrist at the hos
pital, after a brief-but- bristling
dissertation on the mandatory
requirements of court-issued
subpoenas.
The two were cited for their
failure to appear at the sched-
uled retrial of a former PatuX-
ent inmate, who was deemed to
be a defective delinquent follow
ing his conviction on a house
breaking charge in 1859. Due
to their absence. States Attor-
ney Leonard t. Hardy request
ed that the case against the
defendant be dismissed, freeing
him of the delinquency charge.
Obviously irritated by reports
from Kardy's office that local
authorities found it necessary to
issue subpoenas for the two psy-
chiatrists because they had re-
quested continuances of the
case on five previous occasions,
Judge Shook brushed aside DR..
Boslow's explanation that he
did not receive service of the
subpoena until Wednesday and
was too occupied with other hos
pital business to put in an APP
pearance.
Anyone in this state, no mat
ter what his position might be,
is bound to honor summons
issued by the courts she said.
1.-The orders of this court must
be obeyed."
