SILVER SPRING, Md., November 12.—After hearing warnings against endangering the credit of Montgomery County by the issuance of more bonds, the Montgomery County Civic Federa- tion, meeting in annual session last ht at the Takoma-Silver Spring High Scl hours of debate on the matter of ap- proving a route for the extension of Massachusetts avenue from the District of Columbia line into Maryland in the direction of Great Falls. When it be- came apparent shortly before midnight that the debate would be a protracted one, and there was wide difference of opinion on the question of press- ing the resolution at this time, the matter was put over when a motion of Col. A. B. Barber, retiring president, to table it was carried. Officers Elected. The assodlation also elected officers Iast night for the ensuing year and pre- sented to E. Brooke Lee The Evening Star Oup, awarded each year to an individual or c:finm‘tws performing the most outstanding clvic service. Dr. ‘L: M, Christie, delegate from the Silver Spring Chamber of Commerce, was elected president and the following were re-elected: Capt. Joseph C. Cissel, Silver Spring Citizens’ Association, vice president; W. B, Armstrong, Cabin John Park Citizens’ Association, - recording secretary; O. M. Kile, Mohican Hills Citizens’ Association, corresponding secretary, and J. J. Miller, ‘Highland Park Citizens' Association, treasurer. The following were elected, as addi- tional members of the executive com- mittee: Col. A. B, Barber, Bradley Hills Community League; Oliver Owen Kubn, Alta Vista Community League; Emory H. Bogley, Priendship Heights citizens’ committee, and Stephen James, Linden itizens' Association. 5 “The only contest was on the selection of & nt, and in the election of Dr. cgrunue the association upset the oniy selection of the nominatitg com. mittee, which had recommended R. E. Bondy of the Edgemoor Citizens Asso- clation. W. B. Horne, in nominatin Dr. Christie, said that for iour years the president has come from the arca west of Rock Creek. He thought this was unfair to the peoplc of the east side, and he believed that the president for the ensuing year should come from the latter area. The vole was 38 for Dr. Christie and 21 for Mr. Bondy. Foilowing the announcement of the Vote, Mr. Bondy moved that ihe elec- tion’ be made unanimous, which was done.

By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. OXON HILL, 'Md,, November 12. Raymond Campbell, 11, is a boy who literally likes “to keep his shirt on.” And there is a reason—he makes them himself, makes them with a cleverness that has won the approbation of ex- perts. At present Raymond is the only boy in Prince Georges County in a sewing class, acgording to Miss Ethel M. Regan, home demonstration agent and teacher of the county classes. . For the past two years he has attended all of the lessons given by Miss Regan at the Oxon Hill School, where he is a pupil. He insists on attending the classes in spite of a tendency on the part of the instructor to discourage boys from sew- ing. But when she gets such answers as, “I am thinking seriously of study- ing medicine and want to learn to take stitches,” what can a teacher do? So, while other members of the class pattern a dress or nightgown, Raymond diligently fashions a shirt or apron or something equally useful to a boy. Some of his handiwork, or needlework, was so clever it won prizes at a recent local fair, in which a large number of girls’ ‘sewing ' “projects” were entered. (VG BODES 1 N ZONING FIEAT Aurora Hills and Virginia Highlands Associatiogs Unite in War on Industries. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Stafl Correspondent of The Star. AURORA HILLS, Va., November 12. difficuity being held prior to the presentation of the tentative zoning ofdinance to the board of county supervisors is gaining such rapid headway that the civic bodies of Aurora Hills and Virginia Highlands combined last night to fight the establishment of a “heavy indus- trial” area in this section. ‘There was considerable opposition at the hearing held last Friday night in the Hume School to the plans of the commission to set aside for the use of heavy industry a section of South Washington, having Arlington Junc- tion as its center, and a great many of those attending left with the promise that the fight had only begun. ing sold under foreclosure salss in Montgomery County, and he said that | this was due to the “water” in the values. the past few years, he continued, tgomery County has made a sub- stantial , bat he said that the time has come when the citizens’ asso- cannot commit itself to the un- ited * issue of bonds. He said they m!uu care in using the credit of the Y. 3 Alleges Speculation. He asserted that the land in the vicin- 1ty of the proposed extension was bought years ago by land speculators, who are ‘waiting for just the roac opening that is proposed, and it would be a gold mine for them. He added that the people who will the benefits ought to be com- pelled to pay for the'opening and con- struction. Mr. Lamar expressed the be- lief that county authorities ought to be put on notice that the federation, if it adopted the road plan, did not sanc- tion any plan for financing it from county funds. Mr. Bondy said that he was quite in sccord with what Mr. Lamar ‘said, and added that the road project should be considered in connection with schools and park development, which demand large expenditure of funds in the future. He said that he did not want to see Montgomery County put into the posi- tion of having to erect portable schools, because it had not considered the finan- cial problem far enough in advance. He moved to recommit the matter, which was rejected. Mr. took issue with Mr. Lamar on his statement in regard to foreclos- ure sales. He also said that there had been much talk in the county in the past of the building of so-called “real estate roads” and he didn't like that. He said that the whole matter should be given more mature consideration, in conjunction with the master highway plan ow being worked out by the en- @ineers at great expense. ) Cites Boulevard Project. ‘The proposal to extend Massachusetts avenue, Col. Barber said, had not been considered in connection with the study by the Federal Government of a levard along the river. He asserted that Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, executive officer of the Federal Plan- ning Commission, had told him that no consideration had been given to the improvement of Conduit road, be- cause of the matter of other road proj- ects being considered in this area. He therefore made the motion to put the matter over. There was pending, at the time, an amendment of Stephen James which would “have approved the pro- posed extension in principle, but in- structing the committee on roads, streets and bridges to confer further with the Maryland Planning Commis- sion as to route and the county com- misioners as to finance. George H. Lamar lauded the admin- istration of Col. Barber, and on his motion the federation gave the official a rising vote of thanks. When the Massachusetts avenue matter was laid on the table, the president began calling for committee Teports, but as it was near midnight a motion to adjourn was made and carried.

That this was true was evidenced last night at the regular meeting of the Aurora. Hills Civic League, when, after an address on the subject by J. C. McClellan, president of the Virginia Highlands Citizens’ Association, the for- mer body -voted to appoint McClellan and John C. Gall, president of their own association, as a committee of two to arrange a mass meeting at the Jef- ferson District auditorium in the near future. Edward Duncan, supervisor of Jefferson District and chairman of the board of supervisors, and -members of :he Zoning Commission are to be invited to attend this meeting. In his talk last night McClellan stated that he has been present at the Hume School hearing and that “there is not & thing in section 8 ‘of the tentative ordinance, under which heavy industries come, that we want. If we do not fight this thing now,” he declared, “our cause will be lost because the ¢ dinance is to be presented to the board of supervisors egrly next month.” Schoel Meeting Opposed. It was the concensus of the meeting that the Hume School was an improper place to have held the hearing, first be- cause public meetings have never been held there, as a result of which many people were mistaken in the meeting place, and second, because the citizens of this scction have an auditorium for public meetings that is located in the | center of the district. Many of the people have not yet seen the map, it was said, and as a result are not entirely familiar with the plans of the commission for this scction. One thing upon which all are agreed, how- ever, was that they do not want a series of objectionable factories, a great many ! of which, finder section 8, would emit unpleasant odors, between them and the new Arlington Memorial Bndgle.

Williar, membérs of the State Roads Commission will be invited and an invitation will also be extended to the Prince Georges County commissioners, Despite the announcement that the new highway bridge over the B. &. O. Railroad tracks may not be open until December 15 because of unforeseen dif- ficulties in obtaining rights-of-way, it was decided to proceed with the original plans of holding the celebration on De- cember 7. It had been hoped that the ceremonies would mark the opening of both the bridge and Rhode Island ave- nue. As formulated last night, plans for the celebration call for a parade starting at 2 p.m. at the District of Columbia line in Mount Rainier, and ending at the armory. This will be followed by & ban- quet in the local Masonic Hall at 7 p.m. Lemuel L. Gray, general chairman in charge of arrangements for the celebra- tion, which is sponsored by the Hyatts- ville Chamber of Commerce, appointed a parade committee comprising W. T.

Floats in Parade. Jennings stated that the Hyattsville Hiah School was considering putting a float in the parade, and the Hyatts- ville Elementary School hoped to enter two, one from each building. A. H. Seidenspinner declared that participa- tion. of the Riverdale school children and a float was being considered. A night parade was discussed, upon suggestion by Bailey, but it was de- cided, however, that time was so short it was best not to change the present program, e decorations committee was in- structed to contract for the decora- tions, which, it is estimated, will cost approximately $1,000. Present plans call for the placing of decorations along the entire extension of Rhode Island avenue and on the new bridge and armory. A total of $1,500 is to be raised to finance the celebration, of which Hyattsville and Mount Rainier are to collect $500 each and Riverdale and Brentwood $250 each. The mayors in each town have been named to direct the raising of this money. Bailey is to solicit funds from the business men of the Woodridge-Langdon section. D. C. Represented.
