Rockville Plans Radar, Extra
Policeman to Check Speeders
Rockville’s City Council agreed this week to the pur
chase of a SISOO radar unit and the addition of one police
man to enforce speed limits within the city.
Citing 34 warnings issued by State troopers to speed
ers on West Montgomery ave. during a two-hour period
recently. Mayor Alexander J.
Greene advocated use of radar
to augment patrolling by State
and county police in the city.
“The county hasn’t the staff
to give us the service we need
and adequate patrolling by city
police would ertail many, many
cars,” Greene said. “Spot checks
with radar in trouble areas
should be effective.”
A resident from one “trouble
area” reported that with the aid
of a stop watch and a slide rule
he found that 98 per cent of the
cars exceeded the speed limit.
DeLos V. Snodgrass, of 12707
Atlantic ave., was reporting on
a controversial 15-mile speed
limit recently applied to Van
degrift-Atlantic ave. He said
during ■ his slide-rule check he
clocked a bicycle at 14 miles an i
hour and a State trooper at 23.3 <
Sharp Jump Seen
In Farm Markets
The nation’s steady popula
tion growth will bring a sharp
increase in farm markets dur
ing the next quarter century,
according to L. B. Baldwin,
Southern States Cooperative As
sociation.
Speaking at a recent Cedar
Grove area annual membership
meeting, Baldwin predicted that
by 1975, the country’s 230 mil- ,
lion people will need 35 percent
more poultry, 63 percent more ,
red meats, 38 percent more ,
milk, 31 percent more eggs and
57 percent more fruits and veg
etables.
As a result, he added, the co
operative must “concern itself j
more and more in the years ,
ahead to increasing farmers’
bargaining power through help
ing them control more of the i
phases of ’agribusiness’.”

States Board were Talmadge

miles an hour.
He also clocked other cars at
speeds up to 35 miles an hour
while children “were playing in
the rain, damming up sewers
with leaves,” Snodgrass said.
City Manager Walter A.
Scheiber, who returned from a
three-week vacation to learn
that the Council had invoked
the low speed limit on Vangde
grift-Atlantic ave. during his ab
sence, chided the body for its
action.
Scheiber called the 15-mile
limit unrealistic,” and com
mented: “I also feel it would be
difficult to get a conviction
from any judge!”
In other action. Greene pro
posed amending the zoning or

Designs Sought
From Area Artists
Montgomery County artists
have been invited to submit de
signs for the Christmas Seal to
be used in the 1962 nationwide
tuberculosis control campaign.
Emerson P. Slacum, president
of the Montgomery County Tu
berculosis and Heart Associa
tion explained the competition
is open to amateur as well as
professional artists. Slacum said
a SSOO award will be given to
the artist whose design is
chosen. Also, the recognition
and prestige value are of im
mense importance in this com
petition, he added.
Christmas Seal designs are se
lected two years in advance by
a national committee of tuber
culosis workers. Details may be
obtained by writing to the Mont
gomery County Tuberculosis
and Heart Association, 3746

All designs must be submitted
locally before September 26,

■ fication. Under the present or
. dinance. all annexations auto
matically become half-acre resi
dential zones, thus deterring
owners of industrial sites from
‘ seeking annexation.
The Council also directed de
struction of the two-year-old
. “batwing” shelter in the Elwood
| Smith park “at the first sign
, of winter weather.”
The $2268 structure, designed
by John Henry Sullivan, has
been described as an eyesore
and has been the target of van
dalism which has resulted in
the stripping of the roqf
shingles.
The council appointed John
O. Moser as chairman of the
traffic and safety committee.
Moser replaces Douglas Rossig
nol, who resigned last week.

the Council that it is unable to
