Montgomery
To Study Proposed
zoning Ordinance

The proposed interim zoning
ordinance for Upper Montgom-
cry County will be considered by
county agencies during the next
few weeks. according to Thomas
C.. Kelley, chairman Of the rural
planning commission.
The planning commission last
night was to act informally on
the draft and then submit it to
county officials. Slated to ex-
anime the proposal are the
County Attorneys Office and di-
rectors Of inspection and Ii
censing. public works and public
health.
The study will take about a
month. After that, copies of the
ordinance will be circulated and
a public hearing slated by the
commission before it's final adop-
tion. Mr.. Kelley said another
public hearing probably would
be held by the County Council
before it acts on the measure.
The ordinance is a stop-gap
move aimed at holding the line
on present land uses until a
master coming plan can be COM
pleted. That will take two or
three years.
The present draft differs little
from the earlier one. Efforts have
been made, to make the rural
zoning standards similar to
those provided in the new
suburban ordinance now under
consideration by the County
Council.
No attempt to reclassify or re-
zone present land use has been
made in the ordinance. No land
will be given a zoning classical
ton until a potential developer
seeks a county building permit.
The temporary ordinance
would; in effect, bar the creation
Of any new residential subdivi-
sions on farmland in the rural
sections. However, it would per-
NIT the continued development
of existing business and resi-
Dental center.
Barred under the ordinance
would be erection of any bill
boards other than those adver-
t1Sing county business firms.

II am a widow" Mrs. M. writes
"and I have never had a paid
job in my life. I am forty seven
years old, a high school graduate
and have had some vocational
tests recently which indicated a
flair for personnel work.
II know very little about what
it actually means and wonder if
you could give me some defini-
tions and some ideas about the
kind of jobs that require a per-
sonel fair"
The first thing that comes to
mind, of course, is the many jobs
in the personnel departments of
large companies. I would warn
you against these, for several
reasons.
First, many of the companies
large enough to have a good
sized personnel department also
have pension plans which make
it difficult for them to hire any
one over thirty-f1ve. Second,
jobs of that kind, even when age
is not against you, require some
college background and, pref
erably, a degree in psychology.
Again, many of the beginning
jobs in large personnel depart
mentS are very mechanical and

factual. They frequently involve
handling lot of records, files
and other clerical details and
may not be right for you if your
tests showed what we call the
social" skillS.
However, this doesn't mean
that the picture is hopeless.
Many receptionist jobs are
open to the woman over thirty
five and these require a "per-
Sonnel flair" Book publishers,
advertising agencies, law firms,
hospitals and Embarrassing or
ganizations are beginning to pre-
fer, as receptionist, a woman
with maturity and wisdom. 1
would suggest that you get a
list of such organizations in your
public library and approach
them.
Also, many doctors will hire
an older woman as their recep-
zionist, if they have large staff
and many patients.
Of course, if you could learn
shorthand and typing without too
much trouble, you would find
that many secretarial jobs have
the personnel factor as, for ex-
ample, a secretary to sales
manager. A sales manager fre-
quently has dozens of young
statesmen out in the field, send
ing in reports and occasionally
coming into the Office. One sales
manager I know decided to hire
for his secretary a mature and
motherly woman who would, as
he put it, Keep the boys in line,
keep 'em working, give them a
shoulder to weep on-but not
waste time flirting with them
like the young kids do"
A flair with people is one of
the things that grows better with
age. If you have it, you can put
it to profitable use. Just look for
an employer whose business re-
quires mature wisdom and a
motherly touch.
