Prize Total
Is $4,000

A total of $46,oO in prizes
is expected to draw more
than 1900 entries in the 9th
annual Montgomery County
Fair, to be held August 1924
at the Gaithersburg Agricul-
ture Center.
Judge r. w. Farmer, chairman
of the fair, announced that the
popular kids Day" feature will
be held on opening day of the
fair this year. Rides to young
sters are half price on Kids Day,
and a variety of prizes, including
a bicycle, will tempt the young
sters to enter the special Kids
Day contests-a frog jump, a
turtle race, and a pie eating
contest.
ANY youngster attending who
brings frog is eligible to enter
our frog jump" Farmer said.
''The kid whose frog gives the
longest jump will win a bicycle.
There will be turtle race, too.
The turtles will all line up and
run a ten-foot course. Another
popular Kids Day contest is the
pie-eating competition. Naturally,
sissy stuff like forks is not
permitted"
All Kids Day contests are open
to all youngsters without charge
and the small fry are admitted to
the fairgrounds free.
A popular entertainment fea-
ture has been added to the fair
this year. That is Billy The
Kid-The Talking Goat" Billy
will answer all questions by Fair
visitors, including giving advice
to the lovelorn.
Another new feature has been
added to the fair this year, and
city dwellers who don't raise

U. S. Court Says
Juvenile Should
BE Informed of
Right to LaUyer

(See related Sentinel editorial
and communication from Judge
NOyes on Page A.
The United States Court of APP
peals ruled Tuesday that a minor
in Juvenile Court must be told
of his right to counsel, even
though his parents have been so
advised.
Any preliminary waiver of
counsel by the parent or child
should be confirmed by the Judge
in open court and on the record,
the opinion stated.
The Court must be assured that
any waiver of counsel is intelli-
gent and competent.
The ruling came after a Dis
trict youth was committed to an
institution without being told of
his right to counsel.

Add New Zone
Class AS City
Gets Bigger

With no opposition evidenced,
the Mayor and Council Tuesday
approved amendments to Rock
ville's coming ordinance that add
ed new office building zone and
another residential one requiring
$500 square foot lots.
The purpose of the new resi-
dental classification, which falls
between existing zones R-90, 5000
square foot and RICO, 5000 square
foot ninimums is, according to
city planned Robert Plavnick, to
encourage wider lots and better
the R-60 requirements in the
newly annexed areas.
The trend, Plavnick said, is
away from 60-foot frontages to-
ward wider lots and the Planning
Commission, which recommended
the amendments, intends to es-
tablish the new R-75 zone with a
70-foot minimum as new areas
are subdivided.
The new office building zone
which also allows parking areas,
pools, schools and quasi-public
buildings is to be used as a tran
sition from residential to general
commercial uses.
The amendments also contained
some minor changes in the park
ing requirements, industrial side
yard requirements, monochrome
ing uses, and some definitions not
included in the original ordinance
passed last September 25.
Following the approval of these
amendments,
The Mayor and Council denied
an application of the Sterling Con
struction Company for an amend
ment to the coming ordinance that
would allow apartment hotels as
a special exception use in the gen
eral commercial zone.
