he had been given his orders.
A friend said to me at the time:

But we have never come to that.

unusual amateur productions, even

However, it is obvious that, to
date, efforts in the educational film
field have been groupings, principally
unrelated and to a great extent hap

Educators with whom talked gen.
orally agree that no solution is in
sight until uniform curriculum of
visual education is adopted, SO that
pictures may be produced to supply
specific courses of study standard

At first glance that day appears to
be far distant. Yet, after watching

cent of our schools have projection
machines, and more than half. of
those are for silent films only. Incred-

they have no electricity.

Cosvul = But Alert

WITHIN the hour, Nellie was around
again, feeding alone in the valley
There was not the smallest sign in her
casual manner that she had ever heard
of a fawn. She browsed along lazily,
often changing direction, aimlessly
searching for tender leaves. AS far
in the distance as the field glasses
could follow her, she never once hur-
ried or cast a backward glance to
show that in every nerve she was keen
ly alert for signs of danger.
The next day Nellie suddenly ap-
peared outside the cabin with the
fawn. The little thing was frisky and
not nearly so timid as the day before,
when plainly it had been ready to
leap away at the snap of a twig.

as close behind as we dared, for we
wanted to get a close look at the spots
on the fawn. There is belief that the
spots on baby buck run in even rows,
while on doe they are scattered like
confetti. After long gazing we named
the fawn Pete" mostly on specula-
ton.
Nellie went slowly to the lake,
where she took Pete carefully across
the sandy beach into the warm shall
low water. There she proceeded
methodically to lick him all over, the
fawn standing awkwardly with all
four legs braced at different angles.
He no longer resembled figurine on
a shelf - looked like nothing b
miserably wet deer Daby. Even the
tiny hoofs. no larger than curled
leaf, we're thoroughly polished. Then
Nellie suddenly decided that Pete had
received enough washing for one day
and trotted off briskly to tuck him
under bush for a nap.
Nature gives fawn the protection
of a tan coat that blends perfectly
into the coloring of the forest. The
markings look exactly like spots of
sunlight filtering through green leaves.

By the Associated Press.

WILLIAMSBURG. Va, July S.
The ee-judge court hearing Will
liamsburs's annexation suits aeain4t
York and James City Counties to-
day granted much of the city's re-
quests for annexation OF certain
areas in the two counties to the
city.
A majority OF the area asked
from James City was granted and
part OF that asked from York.
The court set September S as he
date for entering It's order and
conditioned the granting Of the
areas on the fact that until side
walks were laid along dangerous
highways the city must make pro-
vision for Transporting school chill
dren in the three areas to school.
The courts order also provided
that the city must have the areas
granted surveyed and metes and
bounds set out; that the city must
also pay to James City County
proportion OF the county's bonded
Indebtedness, based on the pro-
portion OF property taken. TIE
court ordered that the payment to
James City County be made in cash
and that the city bear the costs OF

Austin Is Named Montgomery
Zoning Enforcement Officer
Former Secretary to
Byron Will Stort
Inquiries at Once

F. Byrne Austin, former secretary
to the late Representative Byron,
Democrat. of Maryland. has been
appointed zoning enforcement off,
Ger for the Maryland National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission
in Montgomery County, it was an
nounced yesterday.
Coincident with this announce
ment was a statement from States
Attorney Ben G. Wilkinson, jr., and
Lacy Shaw, member of the COM
mission, that Mr.. Austin will con-
duct an immediate investigat ton of
reported coming violations and strict
prosecutions will follow.
Mr.. Austin formerly was en-
ployed on the engineering staff of
the Park and Planning Commits
sion and is thoroughly familiar with
the work and the data necessary to
investigate and determine violations
In the county, Mr.. Shaw said.
Called Step Forward.
This is step forward in the pro-
lection OF property m Montgomery
County" Mr.. Wilkinson said, and
the preparation OF zoning prosecu-
tion cases is such a technical task
that 1t must be done by some one
familiar with the work of the COM
mission and the use of it's maps
and zoning classification standard:
as set up in the ordinance.
This work cannot be performed
by the Police Department because
OF the technical knowledge re-
quired"
Mr.. Austin has conferred with
Commissioner Shaw and Mr.. Will
kinson and they have decided to
present him with q List of cases they
now have on hand.
Mr.. Wilkinson said the COM
plants consist of alleged improper
use OF used car lots, real estate off,
ces, large buildings used as apart.
ment houses, and buildings con-
stituting fire traps, all located in
residential areas.
Besides these f1agrant violations" I"
Mr. Wilkinson said, we have many
others which will have to be investi-
gated to determine whether they
should be prosecuted"
Violators to Be Warned,
Mr.. Austin is to give warnings to
those he finds have violated the
zoning ordinances. Some. it was
stated, have no knowledge of their
violations and should be given an
opportunity to correct the land use
before prosecutions are instituted.
The appointment, 1t is believed,
will at least partially fulfill a re-
quest made by the Montgomery
County Civic Federation to Park and
Planning officials and members of
the Board of County Commission
ers. The. civic group requested that
an enforcement officer be appointed
because it was contended no en-
forcement had been practiced be-
cause of joint responsibility between
the commissioners. the Planning
Commission and the States attor-
ney's ONCE.
The federation did ask, however,
that the enforcing oficer be ap-
pointed from among the Park and
Planning Commissions existing
staff.
