- By GEORGE KENNEDY
Just live long enough and
you are going to see some
wonderful highways here
abouts.
Now we have the beauti-
full Route so to the Chesa-
peake Bay Bridge, 80 miles
Of divided highway completed
in little more than 10 years.
And Route 24O from Fred
erick, about 40 miles of scenic
splendor, has reached the
District line in less than so
years.
AS a Star editorial noted
the other day, as far as
continuing it through the
District we are right where
we were 10 years ago-debat-
ing the route. So we can't
blame all the delay on the
Maryland State Roads Com
mission.
Yesterday I had an excit-
ing glimpse of what's to come.
The occasion was an ap-
pointment in Bethesda.
I remembered that only
the day before Lee Flor, our
highway reporter, had told
me that the Beltway is now
open from the Shirley high
way near Springfield, Va, 10
miles south of Washington,
10 the Cabin John Bridge
which crosses the Potomac
above Glen Echo-about 10
miles northwest of Washing
ton.
At the River road you have
to turn to the right. The
River road ends at Wisconsin
avenue at the Sears Roe
buck corner.
But, he said, much prog
ress had been made in
October, an ideal month for
Highway work-not a day
lost due to rain. The Belt
way has been paved, but
not open, he said, all the
way to the Old Georgetown
road north of Bethesda.
So I suggested to the
driver who picked me up at
my home in Alexandria that
he go south on the Shirley
highway.

A new mother is getting top

Association these days.
Mrs. Allen Townsend is car

like a veteran. unhampered by
the fact that she is blind.
Mrs. Townsend has been
blind since birth and her hus-
band is partially blind. Their
daughter, Beth. can see as well
as any one.
Mrs. Townsend does a beau
tiful job" Mrs. Abbie Melville,
the Visiting Nurse, reports.
"She has no more problems
than a person who can see
would have. In fact. she has
more confidence than many
mothers with their first baby"
Mrs. Townsend heard about
the Visiting Nurse Association
from another m Their who
shared her room at Columbia
Hospital. This mother had
learned the rudimentS of baby
care from the association.
Helping new mothers with
babies is one of the most i'm

United Givers Fund agency.
One-third of their work is in
this area. Those who are able
pay for the service, but it is

The students said a commit

body meeting for tonight to
consider two possible alterna-
tiveS:

pointed a committee to look
into the complaints of the
faculty.
Faculty complaints have been
backed by the students, who
have adopted overwhelmingly
a proclamation accusing Presi-
dent r. Bowen Hardesty of
neglecting his responsibility to
the student body.
Mr.. Wilson said his action in
naming an investigating COM
mittee resulted from the COM
plants made by the Frostburg
Chapter Of the American Asso-
citation of University Profess
sorS, according to the ASso-
ciated Press.
Complaints Not Detailed
Mr.. Wilson did not detail the
complaints. The chapter previ-
ously had released a letter
asserting that educational OPP
portunities were limited by
tension resulting from a dis
pute between the college adj
ministration and the faculty
and students.
The president Of the local
chapter of university profess
sors, Edwin v. Holland, has
complained that faculty men,
bers have lost the right to par
ticipate in the choice of subject
matter and methods of in
struction.
1t has been reported further
that the former chairman of
the English department was
ordered by the administration
to choose another textbook
for the course in English COM
position and that the admins
tration changed the content OF
that course without consulting
the department.
