Apartment al n Plea
Withdrawn in
Silver Spring
Wutson-Rose Tract
Owners Abandon
Rezoning Fight

Petitioners for rezoning Of the 90
acre Watson-Rose tract IN Silver
Spring for apartment use have with
drawn their applications, it was
learned today
j. Ernest Hawkins, clerk to the
Montgomery County commissioners,
said he received a letter this morn
ing from James A. Watson, jr., and
Harold F. Watson requesting the
withdrawal. He added he has been
informed that Hilleary O. Rose also
will withdraw his petition
The action followed bitter protests
for the past nine months by citi-
zens' associations and residents of
the neighborhood.
Hearing Set for December 2.
A hearing had been scheduled for
December 2 on the third effort of
the petitioners this year to obtain
apartment zoning for their property,
near the corner of Dale drive and
Colesville road.
At meeting last night. the
Woodside Park Civic Association
adopted resolutions expressing op-
position to rezoning of the Watson
Rose property, and to resquests for
commercial zoning of land in the
S70O block of Colesville road.
In reiterating its disapproval of
the Watson-Rose property change
the association contended it would
be spot zoning and contrary to sys-
tematic planning.
Extension Feared
/ Rezoning of the 870O block of
Colesville road for commercial use
would threaten indefinite extensions
of commercial and apartment zones
along Colesville road, the second
resolution stated.
The group pointed out that the
property involved is already zoned
| for apartment use and in that char
acter would serve as buffer zone
between the Fenton street COM
mercial area and the single-family
residence area starting at Spring
street and extending north.
Developing of two business zones
north and east of Fenton street
would destroy residential property
and leave the existing business de-
velopments of Georgia avenue by
passed and subject to serious deter
| ioration, the association charged.

without mirth. II dance, and all the

paused for a moment. Silly - but
that's what they've DONE"
Dirk saw that the people were
coming out of the water now, wet
and glistening in the sunlight. They
were the ones who were making his
mother unhappy. and he hated
them. Don't, Blair" he said, push
ing his hand into hers.
She looked up at him. you're
right" she said. "We're not going
to think of anything but each other
when we're together. We're going to
forget what we have to give up.
We're always going to be happy
when we're together. aren't we?"
He smiled at her reassuringly
eyes, Blair"
There she is." Eric's voice called
to them. Come on, Blair"
do you have to 60 now?" Dirk
asked.
I'm a minute" she told him.
The woman with the white hair
and the young face was coming
toward them, the rest following.

"Are your people in the movies?"

Looking at her, Dirk thought he

"Of course. But the rest of it?'

''Parks?" Polly wrinkled her brow.
1T rings no bell. Stop stalling, lamb.
Who is the famous parent?"
Dirk looked around the circle of
faces. Didn't they know? He saw
Eric watching him, and Eric seemed
to be hardly breathing. He glanced
at his mother, but her head was
turned away from him. She'd been
writing something in the sand, but
the stick was held poised now, wait
ing, too. 1t was almost as if they
we're willing him not to answer.
What was it they wanted him to
say? Then suddenly the whole thing
came clear and he knew. The words
almost stuck in his throat, but he
looked into Polly Anderson's face
and said: Nobody important"
He felt Eric's hand on his shoul-
der: 'Never mind, son. Don't let
Polly badger YOU" There was great
relief in his voice.
Polly laughed. Ties sweet"

Polly's high voice coming back and
hitting him somewhere behind his
eyes with stabbing pain.
Come to lunch, darling" his
mother called. But that wasn't what
he'd wanted her to say. He wanted
her to say, "Dirk's mine. He belongs
to me. :. I'm the famous parent"
And she hadn't said it. He put his
hand up to his cheek; it was shaking.
"You belong to Blair" Eric's
voice suddenly said behind him.
"You know it and l know it. Most
important of all - Blair knows it."
Dirk looked down at the sand,
clenching his hands. Why hadn't
Eric gone with the rest of them?
He didn't want anything from him
-. from anyone.

Eric went on. "Her stock-in-trade

wasn't going to. All he wished was
that Eric would 60 and leave him.

He nodded at her. ''Of course"

water glistening on her arms and
legs. "Auntie Kay told me that you
had fine school report. You want

They had arrived at the figure in
the sand. Dirk pointed to it. Look"
he said. What is it? Do you know
what it is, Moth - Blair?"
"A castle in the sand"
'The big kitchen across the back,
don't you remember" He wriggled
along the sand and pointed to a win
dow over the high stoop. Our
room. 1t was brown furniture - ex-
cept my bed - and there we're blue
stripes in the paper on the wall. Now

Blair shook her head. That was
no castle, dear. That was horrid,
poverty-stricken rooming house. 80"

Blair, when you came home, and

"And when wasn't working, our
breakfast was three sugar buns from

took me when we were married, and
that's where he left me.
II don't remember any father. -"
"Of course you don't. Let's wipe
it out, shall we?'
''Motherr' She turned a startled
face to him. Don't wipe it out. l
made it for you. love it. l want to
60 back to it." 1t was almost a sob.
She sat down beside him, gently
covering his hand with her own.
She didn't say anything for while
but sat staring at the sea. The people
were still there, swimming, but they
weren't important now.
''You have good food and good
clothes and good school," she said,
as if thinking out loud. "You won't
ever have to want if -"
How could he tell her, he won-
dered, that what he wanted most he
didn't have? There was no place
that belonged to him. And he didn't
mean house, because there was the
little house near his school that be-
longed to Auntie Kay. and there was
this beach house. He had a room in
both of them, but that wasn't what
he meant. At Mrs. Mawder's he'd
had a place and mother he be-
longed to. That's what it was. j..

We have to 60 ahead. If we try to
