Rezoning Approva|s

Five zoning petitions for reclassi-

to commercial, industrial and resi-
Dental for apartment use and an
application to operate a public ga
rage and filling station have been
approved by the Prince Georges
County Commissioners.

R. M. Watkins, College Park realtor
and builder, for reclassification of
lots and 10, except the east 10
feet, block A, College Park, from
residential A to residential c, for
apartment construction, was ap-
proved yesterday despite protests
from residents of the community
and disapproval of one of the COM
missioners.
A delegation, led by H. Winship
Wheatley, former county States at
torney before he entered the Navy
in 1941, protested that granting of
such a rezoning change would be
spot" zoning and that it would
change the character of the neigh
borhood"

Mayor William A. Duvall of Col
lege Park, who favored the rezoning,
said no protests had been filed with
him and contended that eve in Col
lege Park are deeply concerned about
future developments" Some day, he
said, all of the section along the
Baltimore boulevard in the COM
munity will be business zone.
j. w. Bauer a citizen, protested
the mayors right to such de-
cision and said people on the street
were not given opportunity to ap-
pear before the Mayor and council
at two meetings regarding previous
requests for rezoning, including the
property now in question.
The commissioners, after hearing
testimony for more than an hour
supported College Park officials ano

Rodeos Hold CoIorfuI Reiqn
Among Vests Summer Sports
By Jessie Font Eyons

POCATEILO, Idaho, Aug. TO-
This is special request article-a
collective answer as it were-to the
numerous letters which have been
worwarded to me asking "for more
details about the rodeos,"
In this Far Western country, where
old pioneer days are still remem-
bered by the older inhabitants, rodeo
is king over all other summer sports,
with baseball its only rival.
Almost every small town features
a rodeo at spaced intervals SO that
its special attractions will not COM
pete with other nearby rodeo
events. This is for the benefit of both
spectators and participants since the
participants often have to pay to
register in the competitions. Usually
the rodeos are held at the county
fair grounds, although sometimes a
spacious high school stadium is used.
Towns Go Western"
Often, the whole town goes West
ern" prior to and during the two to
three day series of events. This ap-
plies to the community's leading
banker with his real Stetson, as well
as to the humblest little urchin with
his 10-cent store chaps and cow shirt.
Indians are matter OF factly vivid
part of the picture. Sometimes the
sheriff and his posse good-naturedly
help enliven the atmosphere by
stopping all newcomers with the sug-
gestion that they, too, "go along
with the spirit Of things" Fore
warned was forearmed in my case
in Pocatello. met the situation by
wearing a straw stetson, a knotted
scarf and silver earrings of Indian
design.
Since practically every town in
Idaho is within a days ride of the
mountains. their vast sweep consti-
tutes a gigantic. scenic backdrop of
bewildering beauty for the fast
moving spectacles which make up a
rodeo performance. Rain Is almost
unknown out here during the sum-
mer months. The moment the sun
goes down, however. the keen noun
tain air makes coat almost obliga-
tory.
One dramatic event follows an
other with precision and speed.
Thrills, more thrills, and then a
crescendo of them is the customary
program procedure. Like most
Fasteners" T was accused of being
torn between the impulse to keep my
eyes shut when danger threatened,
or of sitting forward upon the edge

cided whether a man mastered a
horse Or steer.
Even Losers Applauded.
In the Brahma bull and the
broncho bucking contests, eternities
instead of seconds seemed to elapse
before the bell rang to indicate that
the rider Is victor if he has been
able Ito stick it." Applause is fire.
quent and Just as genuine and pro-
longed for the plucky loser as for
the winner.
Both horses and steers 60 so fast
they seem like winged flashes of
speed. Many are thoroughbreds
with long lines of pedigreed ancestry
behind them. Others equally victor
ious are just "naturals."
Most of the saddles are of the high
pommeled Spanish type and are
used with deep stirrups. They best
suit the cowman because the lariat
can be coiled about the pommel. The
stirrups give the necessary purchase
IN running and roping. Often, both
the saddles and the saddle cloths are
OF rare and beautiful workmanship.
Superb horsemen mounted on
swift supertype horses are the
pickup men," who ride the ring
in each event to do exactly what
their name indicates, If the need
arises.
Fences Restrain Animals.
Barbed wire, as natural here as
pumpkin pie in New England, is the
repellent type of fence which keeps
even the toughest steer within
bounds. High stockades raised and
lowered with lightninglike speed
also keep charging animals within
bounds.
Between the events there are often
historical tableaux by school chill
dren. Glowing stunts are also popu-
lar intermission features, as are pa
rades of local queens with their
retlnues all on horseback, of course.
One of the most popular clowns on
the Western rodeo circuit is a
wealthy man whose skill and daring
are acclaimed widely. He rides and
clowns for the thrills and excitement
afforded.
At the Bannock rodeo r saw beau
tiful exhibition riding which re-
minded me of the top riding events
which used to be once given at Fort
Myer. Va. This one was put on by
