EVOLUTION

 long lime back, an ancient day, When giant serpents swan the seas And fisticuffs were but the play Of primal dwellers in the trees. 4 person had no chance to earn, In fact he never even saw 4 dollar as just return For a sock upon the jaw. Tn ali the battles ever fought, For al! the boulders ever tossed Promoters ne'er grew overwrousht Because of money they had lost. And only praises loud would wiring For ones own private paramour, The victor kissed the fair young
 thing,
 The game was strictly amateur. But gaze on him this present day, Who earns his bread by trading
 blows,
 He fights for money. not for play, And right full well this face he
 knows.
 For every time he swings a fist Or takes blow upon the bean. The joy of sport is never missed. He buys another limousine!

SEVEN OAKS ZONING
CHANGES OPPOSED
Citizens at Public Hearing Vote
Against Plan Allowing Com
mercial Privileges.

BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
SILVER SPRING, Md, May 3.-Pro-
posed rezoning for commercial use of a
plot of ground in Seven Oaks, on the
Colesville road, east of Sligo Greek, met
with decided opposition at Q public
hearing last night in the Northern Dis
trict Building here before the Zoning
Council, composed Of County Commits
sioners Lacy Shaw, governor Of the
North Metropolitan district; Robert L.
HickerSon Of Germantown and DoWney
Williams of Damascus.
A petition was presented from 80 resi-
dents of the section protesting against
the reZoning Of the ground for store
purposes. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph A. Wells
protested against the project, as did also
Albert Lepper who spoke for the Citi-
zens' Association Of Seven Oaks. They
took the stand that Seven Oaks was
strictly a residential community, and
no commercial projects should be al
lowed, contending that any commercial
coming within a mile of their homes
would be detrimental to the area as q
residential section. 1t was pointed out
also by these speakers that all Of the
people residing there have automobiles,
that the Silver Spring stores were close
enough and that there was no demand
for a store in this area. Others who
appeared were Mr.. and Mrs. George
Davis, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Meyers and
Mr.. and Mrs. A. M. Hyler.
Capt. Frank Hewitt urged the recon-
ing for commercial purposes. The pro-
posed rezoning has the approval of the
Maryland-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission. The commits
sioners took the matter under advise
ment.
