taken from her Job as PRINCIPAL.
Mr.. King felt that the archi-
tects should bear the cost of color
selection but both Mr.. Barrow
and Mr.. McGraw could see the
need for a special school consult
ant.
Mr.. Barrow's point that the
school color consultant should be
an outsider was answered by DR..
Norris, "If we hired a private
firm we would pay a great deal
more without getting any better
job"
Mr.. Barrow and Mr.. McGraw
also felt that some standardizing
of colors could be accomplished
with a suggestion made for IS
basic colors from which a color
technician could make the selec.
ton. This would cut maintenance
costs It was pointed out.
President Helen Scharf alone
backed DR.. Norris recommends

DR.. lands work and cited Ger

building auditorium as horrible
examples of what architects can
do without advice.

However any standardizing of 2
varied color scheme wouldn't be
practical, they felt.
Prefabrication in schools was
another hot issue. Local con
struction people challenged Rob
ert Calhoun Smith, representative
Of Goodman Associates, the arch'
tects for the new Viers Mill pre-
fab addition, to build a prefaF
school that would be cheaper than
standard construction.
Mr.. Smith said he couldn't meet
this challenge at present but with
in the next 25 year pre-fabS would
become cheaper. He stressed the
decreased time for construction
of prefabs, and their easier adap-
tation to the terrain and for flu
ture expansion since there is no
central heating plant.
But the general reaction ex-
pressed was against prefab

Mr.. Adams is president of the

Although Mr.. Adams work
keeps him so busy that he gets
only five or six hours of sleep
each night, he sometimes fixes

grateful to the people in this com.

formation of the Prince Georges

the Maryland Society of Profess

The Maryland Society of Pro-

at the University of Maryland.

began less than two months after
we were elected to office. The
pressure of time made it neces-
sary to hold public hearings at
Annapolis during the session,
often requiring witnesses to drive
through snowstorms at night.
Opportunity for careful study OF
proposed legislation was reduced
to a bare minimum.
We have therefore, resolved O
get an early start on our 1857 pro-
gram of local legislation. Public
agencies, civic and trade organiza-
tons, and private citizens are re-
quested to submit their legisla.
tive proposals not later than DC.
tober /. The proposals will be
given publicity without delay, and
public hearings will be held in No
vember and December.
BY adhering to this schedule,
the following benefits can be OBJ,
tanned:
1. Necessary public hearings
can be held in Montgomery Coun
ty rather than in Annapolis.
2. Interested civic, trade and
professional organizations viii
have time to consider and pass
upon proposed legislation.
3. The bulk of the local legisla
tive program can be Introduce
and processed early in the session
thus avoiding last-minute jams
and also permitting the legisla
tors from Montgomery County to
devote more time to important
non-local legislation.
Sponsors of legislation are re
quested to submit their proposals
in writing Obut not necessarily II

schools because of their present
higher cost than standard con-
Struction.
Other points debated. were: re-
use of school plans, with the ma
jority in favor of new plans for
each school if any changes had to
be made; and one story versus
two story schools, with the major
ity in favor of one story especially
for elementary schools.

applicants hope to solve with a

The city's coming commission
has recommended that the appIi-
cation be denied on the grounds
that the residential nature of the
nelghborhood has not appreciably
changed.
Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Rick
etts, adjoining property owners,
protested the rezoning as spot
coming" and said if it were
granted the whole block should
be rezoned commercial as it
would no longer be fit for resi-
Dental use.
After hearing an hour and a
half testimony the council, with
Mayor Dickran Hovsepian away
on vacation, took no action.
Decision on another rezoning
application from the Dawson
Farm Land Development Corpor-
alton for commercial classified
ton of 9.3 acres on the west side
of Rockville Pike was postponed
until August 81 on recommended
ton Of the Zoning Commission.
The Commission wants to
study the need for another shop
ping center here in light of a re-
cent land use survey of the area.
Attorney for the applicant, David
Belts, said that a national con-
Germ was negotiating to build
department store on the tract
which is adjacent to Hungerford
Towne.
The town council turned down
the recommendation from it's
coming commission that the town
object to the Upper Montgomery
Planning Commission an indus
trial rezoning of 1876 acres out
side the town boundaries approx
imately one mile from Southlawn
Lane and Horners Lane.
Council members did not agree
with the planning commission or
the staff of the county planning
body that no more industrial land
was needed in this area.
Five of the six sidewalk pro-
jects were approved. Located in
the east end of town they will
cost approximately $4,000. The
sixth project on the south side of
Matthews Drive from RockIand
Avenue to Lewis Drive was taken
under advisement after two of
the II property owners involved
protested.

led to purchase a three-acre site

WOOdIalUn REFINING
Sells Home Comfort

Woodlawn Returning Co. of
Gaithersburg has, in sense, out
grown its name. When owner
Woodrow Adams began the firm
in 1889 he specialized in recoating
dairy and refrigeration equip
ment, but now the scope of the
business has changed so that
most of the work is done in heat
ing and air-conditioning sales and
installation.
Besides, stainless steel is used
now much more than tin. a4.e-
In addition to selling furnaces
and air conditiorers, Woodlawn
has its own sheet metal shop
where furnace ducts are made.
Sometimes Mr.. Adams takes on
special Woodworking jobs, such
as the tank truck housing pic
tured above.
The company is authorized
dealer for Carrier, Thatcher and
General Electric air conditioners,
and Lennox and General Automa-
tic furnaces. 1t does work for
private homes and businesses,
and can install combination heat
ing and air conditioning equip
ment.
Summer Comfort Important

cts just as important to be COM
Portable in summer as it is in
winter. think air conditioning
will be included in more and more
new homes in the next few years.
A home buyer can have aid con-
ditioning for as little as 81 a
month on his house payments"
Woodlawn does some dairy
equipment repair work, and sells
Steinhorst milk tanks.
Mr.. Adams himself manages
the business and works in the
sheet metal shop from time to
time. Nine other employees car
ry on the refining business.
Douglas Fletcher IL the metal
shop foreman, and Mrs. Jean
Baur, firm secretary, keeps track
Of everything.
Mr.. Adams came to Gathers
burg in 1880 from "the hills of
Virginia with little more than
the clothes he wore. In 1899 he
started the refining business at
Neallsville with $3.50 in borrowed
money and one assistant.
Business Burned Out
Two years later the store burn.
ed down and Mr. Adams, with
no insurance, took a complete
loss. He moved to Germantown
and re-established the business in
his home.
In 1913 Mr.. Adams was able
to relocate the company, this
time in Rockville. He operated
at ITO N. Washington Street un.
til 1851, when he built the present
store and shop in Gaithersburg.

and building dairy farm equip

Shortly after the war, long be-

successful that he sold about $50
of them in this area.
He rebuilt salvaged motors and
