PLANNING GROUP BACKS REZONING Change at Blair High School|* to Block Erection of Stores Indorsed. Special Dispatch to The Star. TAKOMA PARK, Md, November 16.—Rezoning of property adjacent to the Montgomery Blair Senior High | School, was recommened by the Mary- | lang-National Capital Park and Plan- hing Commission yesterday as result of protests filed last Tuesday by more than a score of civic organizations and clubs led by J. Bond Smith, chair- man of a special committee of the parent-teacher association of the| school. The recommendation will be forwarded to the Board of Commis- sioners for action. In addition to the adoption of a resolution favoring the rezoning, the commission unanimously voted to| withhold action of pending building permits until the rezoning question has been decided by the commission- ers. The commissioners have adver- tised a public hearing on the rezoning | in the County Building at Silver Spring December 16. The commission also voted unani- mously to accept the offer of services of Smith to assist Walter W. Dawson, | present general counsel of the Plan- ning Commission, in presenting the matter to the Board of County Com- missioners. ‘The resolution adopted by the com- mission outlines the case briefly from | the time the Board of Education of Montgomery County made formal ap- plication on October 11, last, to the | Board of County Commissioners re-| questing rezoning of lots in question | near the school from commercial “D" | to residential “A.” THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Washington Wayside Random Observations. of Interesting Events and Things.

A local newspaper man whose only brother is completing his studies for the priesthood, has a son who has just begun to learn something about religion. Return- ing from church recently he asked his grandmother: “Who are those boys who serve the priest?” “They're acolytes,” she replied. “Your father and uncle used to be acolytes when they were young.” The lad looked puzzled for a minute, then observed: “I can understand how my uncle got into that, but how did they ever let a newspaper man in.” * % X X MEET “DR.” FLEMING.
