Why An Agriculture Zone?
There are six principal reasons
why agricultural land in the Up

protection.
~ The farmer, if he is to re-

He needs home assurance that de-

To the Editor
Back in l943 a lonely Marine out
IN the southwest Pacific Ocean
wrote a letter to his mother in
Philadelphia which made history.
He told his parents that he wished
they could join with him in the
daily reading of identical passages
in their Bibles. This bond of fell
lowship, he said, would make it
seem as though they were not
separated halfway around the
world from one another.
The mother telephoned an Amer
lean Bible Society office to ask if
she could be provided with some
copies Of list of daily Bible read
ings. Such lists were prepared and
circulated to others. Thereafter
throughout the war years thou
sands Of service men and their
families shared an experience
similar to this mother and her
absent son.
AS the movement spread, added
impetus was given this program

Editor: ...... ...
During a recent weeks visit in
Rockville, l had the pleasure of re-
newing my friendships of many
years with those who, unlike the
city, have not changed with the
flight of time nor the astounding
expansion of the dear old burg and
the influx of urban home-seekers.
My weekly scanning of your social
news column somewhat prepared
me for the constant appearance of
new names, most Of the old ones, so
long revered, seeming to have dis
appeared from Rockville's who's

Your county building, like all
modern structures, while imposing,
looks like formidable giant over
looking the Lilliputians surround
ing it. One is led to wonder if Of

pand further even in this extrava-
giant generation.

eiate such contributions, although
reference to this history would
eliminate much research work re-
lating exclusively to the history Of
the town. Duplication is not in
formative or desirable, but due to
the necessarily limited size of the
volume, later sketches of names,
dates and incidents not included in
1t, would make interesting reading.
In closing. must congratulate
you and your staff on the great
progress your paper has made in

Gentlemen:
In reference to your first page
article headed Bypass Tract

ment." OK. How about erecting
three-man hash house instead of
the one-man affairs with the same
menus day in and day out, that
predominates around Rockville to-
day.
Put up the place and rent it to
concern like Howard johnson or
Hot Shoppe lie. if they want to
remit where good food can be OBJ
tanned at least Is hours out of
"a hours of the day and at a rea-
sonable price and with plenty Of
parking space. Then the purchasers
will be going long way toward
putting Rockville on the map.
What this town really needs is
good hotel with plenty of park
ing space and reasonable price.
Here's hoping.

Tourists enjoy the Latin-American
flavor that it lends the paper
while many local residents find
Spanish easier to read because
they seldom use English in their

You would be surprised at the
number of natives as well as
adopted Cubans who have spent
their lives in Key West without
learning to speak English. An even
more amazing fact though, is to
consider the number of people like
