Zoning Order

The welfare of the community
must take precedence over any
financial loss suffered by indi-
viduals, the United States Court
of Appeals ruled today in up
holding a Zoning Commission
order setting minimum lot sizes
for residential A restricted dis
tricts.
Legality of the order had been
contested by Lloyd P. Salyer, a
builder. and his wife. Lois.
The Salyers had bought land
at Cathedral and Arizona ave-
nues NV. about three months
before the coming order. They
had planned to subdivide the
acreage into six lots for home
sites.
But as a result of the order,
two Of the lots failed to meet
minimum size requirements. :.
The Salyers. through Attorney
Mark Friedlander. sought TO have
the commission order set aside.
But today, the court OF sp.
peals declared that the ccm-
mission acted within rs LAWFUL
authority.

The
Rambler
How TunIuw Road
Come By Its Name
How does a legend grow?

How does a legend grow?
The name for Tunlaw road,
admittedly, arises from walnut
spelled backwards. But the
question now becomes: Who
did it, and when?
Legends have a way of be-
coming changed, being added
to, and eventually losing all
semblance to the original. The
story of Tunlaw road, handed
down through a couple of gen.
erations, has almost as many
versions as the George Wash
ington cherry tree legend.
Here are a few, sent in after
we asked here a couple of
weeks ago how that street got
its name:
Don w. Sheehan-"Devel-
opers of that area, discovering
the prior existence of a Walnut
street, simply reversed the
spelling"
Mrs. James M. HouSton-"In
order to build there, they had
to cut, down a walnut grove.
And they wanted to do some
thing in honor of the walnut
grove"
Georgetown "Old-Timer":
Il was told by an old George
town resident that 'Tunlaw'
was the name of the old Hume
estate in that area years ago;
so named because of the
numerous walnut trees grow
ing there"
Miss Harriet Beane-"The
following story which my
father told me is true. :.
There was an elderly gentle
man who lived in a farmhouse
on this road which was at that
time a dirt lane. He used to
spend many summer evenings
sitting on his porch looking
down this lane and admiring
the huge walnut trees. !,
When the question arose for
a name for this particular
street the gentleman :.
said you can spell walnut
backwards and thus keep the
memory of the walnut trees
alive"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-02-07

THE STORY of Gen. Grant,
or Of the old gentleman sitting
on his porch in summer admir-
ing the walnut trees, is what
we'd like to believe. But the
most specific, most logical,
and, alas, most prosaic, report
comes from Mrs. Elsie M. Fir
min. She writes:
Il was secretary for an
architect, Erskine Sunderland,
in l9l0-l1. A Mr.. Kraft had
property on which he wanted
to build several houses.
Mr.. Sunderland was chosen
as the architect and l wrote
the specifications. Mr.. Kraft
said there we're many walnut
trees on the property-so he
would call the street 'Tunlaw
road and said name was
registered"

Police Reject
Flying Squad
For Traffic Duty
Murray Defines
New Policy Based on
Officers Proposals

WA OAAOC A<C-
partment has rejected a Traffic
Advisory Board recommendation
for unannounced flying squad
patrolling of various intersec-
tions but will continue "selective
enforcement" patrolling of ac-
cident-prone streets.
Chief Robert v. Murray an
nounced the latest policy at a
two-hour meeting yesterday OF
the board with all police inspec-
tors and captains.
He submitted a report which
was a consolidation Of remarks
by his top officers in reaction to
four suggestions by the board
for combating the traffic prob
lem. The four recommendations
were handed to the police de-
partment last August 81 by a
Special Enforcement Co-ordinat-
ing Committee of the board.
Oppose Crash Program"
Here are the recommends
tons and Mai. Murray's deci-
sionS on them:
l. Several flying squads" OF
police make unannounced spot
checks of busy intersections to
arrest traffic offenders.
Police reaction: Haphazard
non-selective crash programs
and flying squads" are strongly
suggestive of a policy of whole
sale summary arrests" 1t is not
considered wise and in all prob
ability would be resented by the
public, Mai. Murray said. He
added that quantity enforcement
with poor quality may defeat
the program.
2. Each precinct be required
/ to keep a chart showing traffic
accidents and arrests for traffic
violations Including tickets by
each officer.
Reaction: Existing regulations
provide for maps and summaries
of accidents and arrests already
on an annual and monthly basis.
Maj. Murray added that plans
are being studied for shifting
some of this data-collecting from
the precincts to the Statistical
Bureau.
3. Each precinct be required
to have its own flying squad
to check various areas of the
precinct at unannounced times
to arrest any violators they see.
| Reaction: Not considered fea.
sible to enforce traffic regula.
tons without considering time
lloca ton and violation.
4. Fullest possible publicity b.
given police action in reducing
traffic accidents.
Reaction: This is already being
done and is highly desirable tc
continue.
Cites Fatality Decline
/ Maj. Murray said the 81 traf.
f1c deaths recorded in the Dis.
trict in 1856 represented the low
est fatality rate here since the
city started keeping records ir
1923. He said this is evidence
that the Police Department /:
properly applying its enforce
Iment methods and pledged con-
ltinuance of the selective enforce
Iment attack on accident-pront
iareas to further reduce the toll
Board Chairman Arthur j
lSundlun agreed that the police
are already doing pretty much
what the board had in mind II

Fossil Exhibit
lis Prepared
BY Museum

Visitors to Washington muse
ums are about to get their first
chance to see what prehistoric
animals looked like in their ma
tive habitats.
Final touches are being put
on two ancient age sea bottom
exhibits at the National Muse
UNI, and the display should be
ready for the public in two or
three weeks.
The exhibits picture the
earliest and the latest periods
of the Paleozoic era. which came
after the era of primitive plants
and before the reptile epoch.
One case portrays the CAM
brian period. when animals APP
peared fully developed, leading
scholars to say they must have
existed in some form even
earlier. The Cambrian period was
about 450 million years ago. The
oldest fossils of any value date
from this time.
TrilObite in Exhibit
The most characteristic and
highly developed animal of the
Cambrian period, according to
DIR O.. Arthur Cooper. head
geology curator at the museum.
is the trilobite. a fat, crab-iike
creature. The tfilobites in the
new exhibit are colored light
reddish brown. but DR.. Cooper
says this is pure guesswork.
The other case represents the
Permian period. the end of the
Paleozoic era. Its most charact-
leristic inhibitant is the brachio-
pod, which takes many forms.
Some look like oysters. Another
variety, the "spiny she'll" is a.
round hairy specimen about the
size of tennis ball.
Relatives Still Live
Animals Of the Permian period.
like those of the Cambrian time.
ARE extinct. DR.. Cooper explained.
but they have relatives living to-
day. The cephaloped for instance
"a snail-like creature with big
eyes and numerous legs-is close
kin to the nautilus, the octopus
and the squid.
Here we're on safer ground
in regard to color" DIR.
Cooper said. explaining that a.
pretty good deduction can be-
made from the hue of a descend
ant.
Both groups are being put to-
lgether by George Marchand, a
specialist in fossil reproduction.
and his wife Helen. The Mar
chands. who live in Buffalo,
N. Y, have been at work on the
project since just before Christ
mas and expect to finish in about
two weeks.
Their method is to make a
clay model of the fossil, then a
plaster mold from the model.
Liquid wax or plastic is poured
into the mold. and when it hard
ems the animal of old is ready
for his finishing touches.
Mr.. Marchand, So, has made
groups Of this sort for a number
of museums. He worked with his
father on the first sea-bottom
Exhibit in the country at the
New York State Museum in Al
bany.

THERE ARE these other
theories:
Judy 10 Youngstrom-"Tun-
law is walnut spelled back
wards. Probably the vice
president in charge of naming
roads ran out of names"
Larry S. Lynch - "The
prominence :. was originally
known as Walnut Hill. What
Is now known as Tunlaw road
was a wandering lane casually
known as the back road to
Walnut So when the time
came to give the back road to
Walnut a formal name. the
quixotic map-makers appro-
priately enough merely spelled
walnut backwards. :"
An "Appreciative Reader
Last year l asked myself the
same question Later I
found the answer in a book:
Mr.. Hume also owned a place
a little way out of town. One
day when Gen. Grant, who
was a friend of his, was there,
Mr.. Hume said he couldn't
think of a name for the place.
Gen. Grant looked around
and noticing the walnut trees
said: Why not turn walnut
around and call it Tunlaw?'"
Constant Reader" "Of
course Tunlaw road was
named by someone walking up
Walnut street backwards"
The Georgetown old
Timer" adds the interesting
note that a school was built
on that road in 1854, at a cost
of $50 for the acre of land
and $500 for the building.
prices were highly inflated
at the close of the Civil War"
he recalls.
Mrs. Dorothy Baxter says the
telling of legend can be diff
cult sometimes. She cites a
friend who tried to explain it
to her, but said: "Tunlaw is
chestnut spelled backwards"

Takes 'Rea.inu'

Noble Countians continued to
show their displeasure with
Daylight Savings time by casting
ll8 votes against and only %

figures in the poll being con.

An interesting sidelight in the
voting is that less than five in
the rural areas who sent in their
ballots favored the fast time.
They are very definitely against
it and practically all agree that
people should quit tampering
with the time and let well
enough alone.
