sAAS
members of his National Symphony
Orchestra seemed vaguely aware
there was something little different
about this large audience.
And there was. Most of the 1900
persons who last night heard the
first of the 1918 series of Neigh
borhood Concerts under the spon-
sorship of The Evening Star were
just plain family people-neighbors
in the vicinity of Central High
School.
The capacity crowd, which jammed
the auditorium, included little girls
with braids, little boys in short pants,
teen-agers and their mothers and
fathers. Some of them had been to
National Symphony concerts IN
Constitution Hall. Others had heard
Washington's own musical group on
the radio.
Some for First Time.
Still others were enjoying the
National Symphony Orchestra for
the first time and relishing the ex-
perience. This was evidenced by
their burst of applause as DR.. Kin
dler first raised his baton to draw
from the orchestra the opening
strains of Sweelinck's "Chromatic
Fantasy" which he himself freely
transcribed for his 94 musicians.

Here was an unusual interlude to
break the hard, long day.
A little girl nodded her head back
and forth to the pleasing lifts OF
"Sinfonia in B Flat Major by
Johann Christian Bach.
A Central High School music stu
dent whispered to his girl friend
that the orchestra members were
responding perfectly to DR.. Kindler's
manual commands.
A young woman commented on the
pretty woodland scene painted on
the stage backdrop and the nice
effect created by dimming the lights.
Tchaikovsky and Wagner.
The audience thrilled to the
musical majesty of polonaise, from
Eugene Onegin," by Tchaikovsky
And finally they heard Wagner. The
numbers were his Vorspiel and
Liebestod, from Tristan and Isolde,
and prelude to Act l, die Meister-
singer"
When it was all over the audience
by its sustained ovation, showed
the concert had been great sue
cess.
During the short intermission B
M. McKelway, editor of The Star
spoke briefly to the assemblage.
"The Evening Star" he said, lis
happy to have the opportunity to
welcome you who are here and those
of you who are listening by radio
to this first of our second season
Of neighborhod concerts. ...
I'VE are especially delighted to
have a part in bringing into this
intimate relationship with Wash
ington's National Symphony Or
chestra so many Of you who live in
the neighborhood Of Central High
School.
"All Washington has watched
with pride the growth of this Or

Hans Kinder. But perhaps some
of you have not had a previous
opportunity to see as well as hear
the orchestra in action. When your
eye can follow the response of these
musicians to DR.. Kindler's leader
ship, note the physical power that
goes into the development of every
climax, observe how the orchestra
becomes single instrument played
by one man, the pleasure Of what
you hear is amplifled by what you
see."
In explaining to the audience that
the National Symphony was their
orchestra, he added: I'VE are anx-

Silver Spring Group
Approves Tightening
County zoning Laws

. HeCCUlIH6HQaGlOlS ucSlSlleu "
strengthen the zoning laws in Mont
gomery County were unanimously
approved last night by the Allied
Civic Group of Silver Spring at a
meeting in the dispensary building.
The county commissioners will be
asked to hold a public hearing on
the proposed amendments to the
coming ordinance which were pre-
sented by Ralph D. Boyd, Zoning
Committee chairman. Mr.. Boyd's
resolution also commended the COM
missioners for adopting an amend
ment preventing reflling of zoning
applications that have been denied
before the end of the year.
Four Changes Favored.
Amendments recommended are:
l. Hearings are to be held every
three months, but are to alternate
between the western and eastern
districts so that a six-month period
elapses between hearings in each
district.
2. Adjacent property owners of
land on which rezoning is sought
must be notified of the proposed
change by registered mail.
8. Classification of the type Of
occupancy within each zone be made
more specific with additional classes
added if necessary. The urban ma
ture of the Metropolitan Area calls
for a more detailed breakdown ano
tightening of restrictions in the zon-
ing classes, it was asserted.
4. Signs on property stating that
application has been made for its
rezoning must be removed within
three days after the hearing.
The measure also asks that all
the proposed changes be consid-
cred in one public hearing and SC
advertised.
Tree Preservation Urged.
A resolution recommending pres.
ervation of the existing trees and
shrubbery at Colesville road and
Georgia avenue was adopted after
considerable argument.
Proponents of the measure
pointed out that Georgia avenue is
one Of the important approaches tc
Washington, which is noted for Its
tree-lined streets. They argued that
more greenery should be planted fol
Identification of the business area.
Those objecting to retention OF
the trees said that merchants In
the shopping area have asked their
removal because they obscure the
stores and signs. Sixteen trees are
involved.
Detailed Study Proposed.
The resolution also asked that
the preservation of any other trees
and shrubbery in Silver Spring be
carefully considered and a detailed
study be made to enhance further
the beauty of the town by planting
more such trees and shrubbery
particularly along its approach or
Georgia avenue"
The Committee on Public Safety
was directed to take steps seeking
immediate construction of walks

have to travel on roads without

week from his hometown of
Pontonoc, Miss, not to ship any
