ESQ Residents Expected
To Sign Petition to
Montgomery Boord

Approximately half of the $50
residents of Sligo Park Hills and
vicinity in Silver Spring have
signed a petition requesting the
Motgomery County Commissioners

to apartment zoning from detached
residential zoning of a 10-acre tract
located between Piney Branch road,
Sligo Valley Park and Sligo Park
Hills.

which was filed by the Federal De-
posit Insurance Corp, will be held
before the Commissioners at $3.50
pm. Tuesday in the Silver Spring
County Building. The Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission has recommended
that the request be denied
Stuart NJ Armstrong, president
of the Sligo Park Hills Citizens As
sociation. said circulation of the
petition will be completed tomor-
row. He added that he expected
virtually all of the $50 residents of
the area to sign.
Details of Petition.
The petition urges the Commits
sioners to disapprove the proposed
rezoning on the grounds that:
l. Serious financial damage would
be suffered by property owners in
the area.
2. Such rezoning would result in
overlooking of schools. transporta-
ton and sanitary facilities.
3. Erection of an apartment house
on this particular tract is not pub
lie necessity caused by the housing
shortage, since considerable unde-
veloped residential C land already
exists in the general area.
Mr.. Armstrong charged that while
the tract is Immediately adjacent to
the Sligo Park Hills development,
which consists of private homes
costing $4,000 to SIT 900, no attempt
has been made by FDIC officials to
sell the land as home sites.
No Reply to Letter.
He added that after a letter was
written to Walter Owens, an FDIC
official asking him to withdraw the
application and try to sell the land
as private home sites. Mr. Owens
did not even give the citizens asso-
citation the courtesy of replying"
In resolution recommending that
the application be denied by the
Commissioners, the Park and Plan
ming Commission cited the thor
oughly established community char
acter" of the section. where there
are approximately 1000 detached
homes
No change to a more intensive
land use in this area has been ap-
proved by the commission since 1927.
although 10 earlier petitions for
similar rezoning have been consid-
cred, the commission stated.

It must be very interesting to
Mrs Innes Randolph to compare
the Red Cross Motor Corps in
this war with the First World
War. And she can, for she has
been a member of both--in San
Francisco in World War I and
here in Washington as one Of the
three vice chairmen of the Dis
trict of Columbia Red Cross
Motor Corps in the present war.
She also is in charge of the chap
ter motorized equipment from a
volunteer basis.
Mrs. Randolph finds work in
the two wars totally different,
she told us. The present war
work is being done on such a
vastly larger scale and is so much
more intensive. She also finds
the general public much more
alive to the Red Cross. She had
just had letter from her hus-
band in Africa she told us (he's
there with Military Intelligence)
in which he wrote of a Red Cross
worker there who had come to
discusss Red Cross work with
him.

ed, your problem is solved" he
told the worker. and then they
settled down to long conversa-
ton on the Red Cross-much of
it on what the Red Cross is doing
in the District of Columbia.
Mrs. Randolph is one of the
volunteers who has a full-time
job. She gives five full days
every week to her Motor Corps
work. She does her own house
work, too, and She is learning to
cook. She finds it's all a question
OF budgeting your time-this
matter of how much one can do.
And she thinks that the war has
made every one more tolerant,
families less demanding.
She has an alert and intelli-
gent face and short curly hair
that looked so natural we couldn't
help asking if it was.
Yes, and that's wonderful
time saver" said Mrs. Randolph.

where the Offices of the Legation
and for short time of the En-

for few months.
Since the Ambassador and his
wife came here In May they
have purchased the new En-

time to selecting new furnishings
for the house which in peace

them considerable pleasure, but
