The report raped the State Leg

would do much to prevent CONNER
cialization until the Legislature can
take proper steps.
The county commissioners are

Circuit Judge Ridgely p. Melvin
directed that the grand Jury investi.
gate the trend toward commerciali-
zation" along the highway in his
charge to the panel. There has
been widespread public protest over
the county commissioners action in
approving four commercial building
permits along the new road. Permit
applications for three service sta
tions are pending.
The report held Judge Melvin was
fully justified" In ordering the in

public concern"
The grand jurors outlined "stricter
and more drastic" regulations which
they indicated would prevent COM
mercialization Of the highway.
mo permits should be issued for
erection Of commercial structures
along the highway except at points
already recognized as commercial
zones" the report urged. They also
pointed out that cars pulling in and
out OF trafdc lanes to commercial
buildings constituted an additional
trafhc hazard, menacing public
safety.
The report urged prohibitive tax

strations yesterday with three in
door performances.
The little dog appeared first be-
fore the girls Of the Holton Arms
School, then before the pupils of
the Potomac School and finally at
the Garden Of Children School.
One elderly woman walking past
the Holton Arms as the demonstra-
ton ended was Mortified when she
saw all the policemen lowering
around the swank school. A laun-
dry truck parked nearby which she
mistook for q patrol wagon height
ened her amazement and prompted
her to inquire what was going on.
She was much relieved to learn 1t
was just Knee-Hi.
The Holton group proved q re-
sponsive audience. At one point,
DR.. George E. Brunson, Knee-Hi's
teacher, was attempting to get across
the fact that Knee-Hi is not a trick
dog. He got young boy to stand
up and do few routines, making
the point that the lad was respond
ing because he understood and not
because he was trick boy"
you don't do tricks do you?"
asked DR.. Brunson. The boy said no.
II do" Immediately piped up a
young lady of or so years. DR..
Brunson was momentarily stumped
and the audience roared.
The program for the Potomac
School was also given at Holton,
arrangements having been made by
Mrs. Helen Smith Macfarlane, head
of the Holton primary department,

formance at the Wheatley School,
