CONTEMPORARIES SHOW
Show Boats Third Play is a De-
lightful Romance "Sabrina Fair"

lightful Romance "Sabrina Fair"
"Sabrina Fair" which on Aug
ust 9Th takes the stage as Show
Boats third play, is a delightful
comedy-romance. In the words of
the New York Times, "its deftly
sophisticated plotting of the ways
of a man with a maid-and the
ways of maid with mans
heart-has not been surpassed in
who knows when." "Sabrina
Fair" will run following the close
of ''H.M.S. Pinafore", from Aug
ust Sth through August 18th.
Marking a highlight in the Show
Boat season, the play is the work
of Samuel Taylor and its action
takes place on the North Shore
of Long Island. The name "Sa-
brina Fair" has become identified
with two of this country's most
popular and individual actresses,
Margaret Sullivan and Aurdey
Hepburn, who starred respective
ly in the Broadway play and in
the Paramount movie. The play
also brought Joseph Gotten back
to the N. Y. stage after long
absence. In the movie his role
was played by William Holden.
Show Boat '55's production of
"Sabrina Fair" is directed by
Lewis Pierce, producer-director Of
the company, and will feature
Miss Joyce Sullivan in the title
role. The theatre is located at
the Rehoboth Beach High School
on Old Bay Road.
INNS. Pinafore," currently
playing, is satire on the British
Royal Navy, and is full of the
witty charm typical of Gilbert and
SulllVans operettaS. Tne expert
enced and lively direction by
Lewis Pierce and the spirited,
fast-paced musical direction of
Jackson Wiley result in a stylish
and effective performance. Fol-
lowing "Sabrina Fair, Show
Boat '55 will present it's fourth
musical, Gypsy Baron" which
will run from August 15th-2oth.
This is the popular and melodious
operetta by the famous composer,
Johann Strauss. Tickets are priced
from $.S5 1920, including tax,
with reduced prices for service
men run from $40 $1.70, includ-
ing tax.

Final Tally i'm Wheat Referendum
Shows 77.3 Percent Favorable

Shows 77.3 Percent Favorable
Final results of the referendum
held June 25 in the 36-State COM
mercial wheat-producing area
show that 77.3 percent of the
farmers voting favored marketing
quotas for the 1856 wheat crop,
the u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture reported today. This differs
only slightly from the preliminary
referendum returns announced
June 26, which indicated favor
able vote of IT'S percent. Ap-
proval by two-thirds of those vot-
ing is required if quotas are to
be effective.
In Delaware there were a total
of 219 votes. OF this number 168
were for marketing quotas and 81
opposed. This was 1871 percent
in favor of quotas.
The final tabulation shows a
total vote of .347,652, compared
with a preliminary total vote of
328,049, with the difference ac-
counted for by challenged ballots
and returns from a few scattered
counties which had not been re-
ceived at the time the preliminary
returns were announced. OF the
final total vote, 266,s17 (77.3 per-
cent? favored marketing quotas
for 1956-crop wheat and 1885
(22.7 percent) were opposed.

If the coming commission felt
that this was q desirable purpose,
as it most certainly did. hardly
anyone would wish to challenge
its right to propose that proper
changes be put into effect as
soon as possible.
The commission held a public
hearing about two weeks ago,
and heard pro and con testi-
mony. Support came chiefly from
the Georgetown and Cleveland
Park areas, where builders were
said to be using lots of a legal
size and width but to which
neighbors have objection on the
score that they are not large
enough.
Testimony in opposition came
mainly from business and builder

very properly be represented as
symbolic of the neutral in this

with your rights in society as

act set UP regulations seeking
to achieve a more orderly city.
Today these regulations are UNI
dergoing an extensive overhaul
with the announced purpose of
making Washington more health
full, safer. and more conducive
to "the general welfare"
Your immediate problem is
linked to this overhaul Of the
coming rules in this way:
The final recommendations OF
a consultant employed by the
city to come up with proposals
to revise coming regulations are
due about a year from now. These
recommendations are expected,
according to the coming commits
sion, to contain provisions for
minimum lot sizes and widths.
These forthcoming recommen-
dations are presumed to be In
the direction Of more control,
rather than less. in pursuance of
what is currently viewed by those
doing the planning as "the gen.
eral welfare"

this issue. try to isolate its es-
sential aspects. strip it Of its
DISCUSSES, and try to put the
whole matter in some sort OF
reasonable perspective within
the confines Of limited space.
To do this may elicit further
facts and additional enlighten-
ment, and thus contribute to-
ward a resolution Of the issue
in a manner and form more or
less satisfying to those who be-
lieve in the democratic process.
The truth is. Mr.. Brimner,
you have, willy -nilly, been caught
in a historical controversy Of
large proportions involved very
deeply in most significantly con-
trasting viewpoints on how our
society shall be controlled.
If we oversimplify q bit, one
side can be said to favor as little
control as possible: the other
a very much broader control. not
alone of lot sizes but Of many
other elements of the social and
economic framework.
In your predicament, you stand

about half the size which would
be required.
Mr.. Brimmer began to real
ize that If the regulations went
through, and they kept him
from building, all his dream:
were dead and his lot was
worthless.
He didn't quite see how all
this could be made to happen
and wasn't entirely sure that
he had read the news article
correctly. So he checked with US
what does this mean. In my
case?" he asked.
We're taking the liberty OF
answering you here. Mr.. Brim-
mer. for two reasons:
/. The answer concerns others
in your predicament. and 1t has
larger implications for all resi-
dents of the district.
2. It may serve to bring the
whole matter of regulation OF
lot sizes further into the open
so that even at this late date
there can be further discussion
of an issue which appears to
have had inadequate public at
tention so far.
Forgive us, Mr.. Brimmer. II
we remind you Of the man who,
when asked what time 1t is,
starts out his answer by offering
a brief history Of clockmaking
But a direct answer to your
question is almost deceptively
easy: 1t is simply that no one
knows-yet-how the new reg
ulations will affect you.
The reason Is that the pro-
visions Of the new regulations
are still undergoing study-as
the saying goes. Only when the
District Zoning Commission
comes to a firm decision on
regulations will 1t be possible
for you to know how you will
fare under them.

ever since,
At the time he bought his

In the house, now 20, is the only
one Of Mr.. and Mrs. Brimmer's
four children living at home.
In the back Of Mr.. Brimmer's
mind all these years has been q
desire to build a detached home
on the Brandywine street lot he
bought 20 years ago. He paid
$500 for that lot and has been
paying taxes on 1t ever since. He
figured he might start to build
the new house next spring.
The other day, Mr.. Brimmer
was reading his newspaper and
came across a brief item that
he realized at once might prevent
him from building the house he
had been dreaming about ever
since he was first married.
Interim Plan Proposed
The news item dealt with the
plan of the District Zoning Com
mission to adopt an interim
measure" to control the sizes Of
lots on which any one can build.
The regulation, as proposed.
would forbid construction of a
detached house on any lot. with
certain exceptions, which doesn't
have frontage of at least SIS
feet on the street, and a total
area Of at least 5000 square feet.
Mr.. Brimmer got out pencil
and paper and started figuring.
His lot has frontage Of IS feet.
It is eligible on that score.
It's depth is so feet, giving 1t q
total area of $3.50 square feet,

regulations. Thus, his lot Is only

Trends in Russia are of acute con-
Germ to John Doe as they are to
Ivan Ivanevitch. The free world
is feverishly laboring to deter,
discourage, avert or blunt a head
on clash with the massive Com
munist forces of which Russia is,
at the minimum estimate, at least
the mentor and titular head.
Everything about Russia is so am
biguous. This is one of the DELHI
crate purposes of the Soviet re-
gime-to befuddle the estimates
and forecasts of our Western ex-
perts.
An Estimate through Jewish
Lenses
We are bold to make some indie
pendent observations on the anti
cipated impact of Soviet govern
mental changes on Jews of the
USSR for two reasons. Firstly, the
attitude of rulers towards their
Jewish citizens is usually a point
er to its wider policies. To an I'M
canny degree, the barometer of
national sincerity and basic NOR
atty can be found in the outlook
towards that country's Jews and
the plans by the supreme powers
of the land for the tolerance for
or discrimination against these
Jews. Try that test in any time: or
kingdom, Spain, France, Ger
many, England or USA. 1t is espe-
cially indicative in the instances
of relationships and oligarchies.
