PLANS TO PRESENT
VIEWS ON zON|NG
MADE BY CITIZENS
Friendship Heights Head to
Call Meeting If Changes
Are Proposed.

The Friendship Heights Citizens
Association is making plans to pre-
vent any undesired rezoning In that
section before the members have an
opportunity to present their views in
the Fall.
A special meeting will be called one
week prior to the regular meeting,
October 2, by President Samuel j.
| Flickinger in case the Zoning Com
mission in the latter part Of Septen-
| ber considers any changes in the
| Friendship Heights area.
| At the last meeting of the ssso-
citation c. D. Franks, vice president,
pointed out that in past years the
Zoning Commission has always met
and acted just few days before
the Friendship Association holds It's
first Fall meeting. He introduced
a resolution asking that a special
meeting be called before the COM
mission meets so that citizens In
the community will have an oppor-
tunity to make plans to appear be-
fore the commission to protest or de
fend proposed changes, as the case
may be.
Resolution Quashed.
His resolution was quashed by other
members. however. who felt that
special meeting so soon before the
regular Fall meeting would hurt the
attendance at the regular meeting,
for which several important matters
including the election Of officers, are
scheduled.
They also felt that no definite
meeting to consider zoning changes
should be called this far in advance.
as the Zoning Commission might
not meet as early this year as it has
in the past, or that it might not
have any changes in Friendship
Heights to consider.
AS result of the discussion. how
ever. President Flickinger announced
that if the Zoning Commission meets
this Fall before the association Is
scheduled TO meet. and if it plans to
reconsider changes in Friendship
Heights. he will call a special meet
ing to consider any action the asso-
citation may wish to take.
Study Meeting Change.
Because the regular meeting night
of the Friendship Association. the
first Wednesday of each month. con-
flictS with that of several churches,
lodges and other organiZa tons in
the community, President F1ickinger
has appointed a special committee
10 contact these groups with a view
to finding out if some non-conf1icting
schedule of meeting dates could be
arranged This could be done either
BY an agreement between the groups
affected or by changing the regular
meeting night of the association.
The small attendance at MANY of
the association meetings has been
laid to the fact that other groups.
notably the churches, meet on
Wednesday nights also. Members Of
the association feel that if some
ARRANGEMENTS could be made so that
local organizations do not all meet
on the same night attendance at
meetings would be greatly increased.
President Flickinger pointed out
: that the association does not intend
to ask the churches to change the
nights of their regular weekly serv-
ices. but that the committee would
merely try to. work out some plan
whereby one night each month would
be left free for the association TO
meet.
Carnine Garofalo was made chair
man OF the special committee Other
members are Miss Gertrude Hollinger
