A WORD

tenth time I must emphasize
that there is no gail" in de

The name Charles de Gaulle
is Of sufficient Importance his
torically to justify pronouncing
it correctly.
Charles begins with the sound
of "sh." The "a" is fiat, as in

silent. The sc" of de is pro-
nounced ''uh." as in dub, dull. +"

Question: viii you please tell
us the proper pronunciation of
Tito Schipa, the Italian opera
tenor? H. M.
Answer: The singers name
is correctly pronounced: TEE
toe SKEE-pah. In Italian, SCH
has the sound of "sk," and never
Ssh"
The correct pronunciation of
Debussy, the French composer.
is not "dee-BUSSY."
The name is difficult for the
average American because of the
French sounG OF Gu" It is a
blend of 100" and "ee," exactly
like the German umlaut "u." To
say the second syllable, purse
the lips as if to say "boo," but,
say "bee," without UNI
pursuing the lips. Do not say
"bew" to rhyme with pew"

you fail to win 10 tricks on this
deal?"
When this hand was first
played, Mr.. Champion held the
East cards and defended against
q four-heart contract. He opened
the 10 Of spades and North won
with the ace and cashed the
queen.
After some thought he came
to the conclusion that the dia-
mond suit was more dangerous
than the chance that Mr.. Cham
pion had started with only two
spades. Accordingly, he en-
tered dummy with the ace Of
clubs and discarded a diamond
on the king of spades.
When everybody followed to
this trick, he switched to a trump
and drove out the ace. With the
favorable placement of the dia-
mond honors, he couldn't go
wrong on the play of that suit
and lost only one diamond trick.
Thus he made five. losing one
trick in each red suit.

Mr.. East did not make the same

cornerstone. The church was
sponsored by both the Northern
(now American) and Southern
Baptist Conventions.
During the pastorate of the
Rev. Edward B. Willingham,
1945-1955, the church undertook
two extension projects which
now are bearing fruit.
The granting of 248 member
ship letters from its own rolls,
dramatized the organization of
the First Baptist Church of
Wheaton, Md, four years ago.
A second mission, also started in
1852, led to the establishment of
the University Baptist Chapel at

pastor, the church also supports
missionary projects in Italy,

Court Orders
Lot Sale End
In Glen Hills

Developer Marvin Simmons
has until March II to reply to the
injunction granted last week by
Circuit Court Judge Thomas M.
Anderson prohibiting Simmons
from selling additional lots in his
Glen Hills subdivisions north of
Rockville.
The county charges that Mr..
Simmons is illegally Subdividing
by not getting the approval of
the Upper Montgomery County
Planning Commission and by not
providing the streets required in
the subdivision regulations and
road code.
Mr.. Simmons filed a demurrer
which in legal language is an ad-
mission of the charges brought
by the county, but asked the court
to declare the subdivision regula
tions and the road code uncon-
stitutional.
Judge Anderson upheld the
constitutionality of the laws and
granted the injunction against
the developer.

City Zoning
Group Votes
Law Changes

Rockville's zoning commission
last week, after hearing pleas for
reconsideration from two local
businessmen, reevaluated the new
proposed zoning code for the city
and recommended two changes,
but is still against heavy industry
in the city at present.
The first change would make
the language of the ordinance,
that terminates non.conforming
junk yards after period of three
years to read to terminate only
those in other than industrial
areas.
After Phil N. Milestone, presi-
dent of the Montgomery Metal
and Iron Co., had cited what he
called advantages of such busi.
nesses as junk yards and salvage
companies to the community in
the matter Of trash collection, the
commission voted to recommend
that they be established as special
exceptions in the IL or service
industrial zone.
Another businessman, Frank p.
Jenkins of the Rockville Fuel and
Feed Co., requested that the per.
mitted uses in the IL service in.
dustrial area be extended to in
clude the manufacture of cinder
and concrete block.
In recognition of the impor.
tance of the building industry In
the county, the zoning commits
sion considered the necessity of
providing building materials and
services and voted to change the
ordinance to allow certain re.
stricted heavy industries such as
ready-mix concrete plants as
special exception uses under the
IL classification.
Permitted use under the IL sec
ton will include the manufacture
of concrete and cinder blocks, CON
crete sills, steps and blocks and
other products Of comparable
size, height and bulk.
The zoning commission at this
time reaffirmed its belief that it

O,Uner Says

Possible advantages of junk

ford Drive and Fayette Street in
Rockville.
These businesses act as a clear
ing house for waste, such as those
potential death traps for children,
old ice boxes and refrigerators,
which would otherwise be allowed
to stand in residential and other
areas, Mr.. Milestone claimed.
Instead of being considered an
eyesore. and a detriment to the
community, a salvage company
such as his, said Mr. Milestone,
should be remembered for the
conservation service it does by
putting iron, paper and other
useful metals back into circula.
ton as raw materials.
Scrap iron, for instance, is nee
esssary in the making of steel.
Cardboard is made from old news
papers, and rags are used in fine
grade paper, linoleum bases and
roofing materials, and are neces-
sary as well as wiping cloths used
by many industries.
Another service to the immedi.
ate community, according to Mr..
Milestone, is that local organiZa.
tions such as Scouts, PTAs and
church groups use scrap collec.
ton as one of their main fund
raising projects.
What's one mans trash is
another mans new whatZit," he
also said, in pointing out that by
salvaging good deal of disable
material, his company supplies
the do-it-yourself homeowner
with pipe, sheet iron and other
such materials at a much cheaper
rate than if purchased new.

School Unit
Hears Plea
For Prefabs

The Montgomery County School
Board was confronted Monday
night with its perennial problem
of too many children too soon
throughout the county and the
possibility of solving this problem
with prefabricated schools.
Mrs. Thomas o. Roby of Fair.
land PTA and a committee of
four appeared to present the
board with an illustrated descrip.
ton of their schools needs.
Letters from the PTAs of Nc.
Kinney Hills, Connecticut Ave
nue. Park and Maryvale, and Hun.
gerford Towns Civic Association
told board members of the press
ing school building needs in their
communities due for the most
part to new housing development.
Trustees from Viers Mill
School, Mrs. Frank II. Callahan
and Paul r. GoWan, reaffirmed
an earlier plea of the PTA for
an immediate addition to that
school to keep it off double ses.
sions next fall.
Parents at Viers Mill, which
has been on double sessions for
five out of six years, have gone
on record in favor of a prefabri-
Gated addition in order to meet
the need. Connecticut Avenue
Park PTA made a similar request
Monday for an addition there.
Robert Smith, representing
Charles Goodman Associates, con
sulting engineers for National
Houses, Inc, the firm that built
one of the first prefab schools in
the county at Lafayette, Ind, told
the board that a prefab 10-room
addition to 'Viers Mill could be
built this summer in time for the
opening of school in the fall.
At present, Mr.. Smith said that
construction costs per classroom
would be higher than standard
construction and that in addition
there would be an increase in fire
insurance rates and no savings on
architects fees.
The big factor in favor Of pre-.
fabrication right now, he said, is
the construction time saved.
Even If state requirements can
not be waived and fabrication on
the site is necessary to meet speci-
fications, the construction time
will not be any longer than three
months, in his estimation.
The heating system in the pre-
fab school is forced hot air in
each unit of two classrooms that
costs approximately the same in
Mr.. Smiths opinion as a central
heating system and is as satisfac.
tory.
