COUNCIL UPHOLDS
REzON|NG DENIAL
Survey of Sentiment in Ia
koma Park Case Results
in Confirmation.

TAKOMA PARK, Md, october 26.-
Action of the Town Council in dis
approving the petition for rezoning
property on Woodland avenue will be
adhered to and the Maryland-N National
Capital Park and Planning Commis-
sion will be so advised.
This action was taken on the rec
ommendation of the Civic Improve
ment Committee of the council after
an investigation of the facts in the
case and rechecking of the petition.
The request for rezoning from resi-
Dental "a" to residential "B" was filed
recently by L. F. Freemire, prop
erty owner on Woodland avenue. The
council disapproved the request and
notified the Maryland-National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission.
The commission suggested that a
canvass be made Of all of the prop
erty owners in the area, taking the
position that no abutting owners
should be heard. The suggestion was
accepted and the committee had a
complete check made of the sigma
lures. The petition favoring the re-
zoning contained "a signatures, of
which investigation showed that 16
were lot owners and 8 non owners
of land in the area proposed to be
rezoned. The protesting petition bore
signatures of II residents of the i'm
mediate neighborhood.
The Civic Improvement Committee
arrived at the conclusion that owners
on Sycamore avenue, whose properties
directly abut the area, as well as
property owners on Beach avenue,
which intersects a part Of the area.
should also be considered, despite the
view of the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission. The
committee stated that ait is unable
to follow the view that those citizens
who have invested in real estate and
built their homes upon land imme-
diately abutting an area proposed to
be rezoned are to be denied a voice
in this matter" On the basis Of this
survey, the committee recommended
approval of the original action.

own words. They have no set lines
to learn. no bits of action to initiate.
The play grows out of their own
minds, imaginations and emotions.
This natural manner of building a
play so equips the actors that they
can freely exchange roles. This re-
suit in poise and spontaneity that
does not come when lines are memoir
lied and business initiated.
"The Children's Community Theater
is trying to raise the standard for
children's dramatics. Guidance and
direction are necessary, of course,
but give the child an opportunity
to release his own personality, to
exercise his own gifts, and the re-
suits will be delightful.
Training to Think.
"Then, too, because the actors use
their own words, they are constantly
forced to think on their feet,
training which many adults would
like to have had in their own youths.
Among other benefits derived are the
oral English training, with its de-
velopment of vocabulary; training in
voice and diction; freedom in bodily
expression; the independence, re-
Sourcefulness and ingenuity neces-
sary to the establishment of person.
