Readers Identify
Two Ball Players

Last weeks photo of Crellin
baseball team brought two identi-
ficationS and some speculation
among various readers to whom
the scene brought back somewhat
sketchy memories.
Originally believed to have been
taken some Is or 30 years ago, the
date was placed considerably
earlier by Mrs. Lillian Mcrsing,
who said she had a copy of the
picture and was quite sure it was
AZ or "A years old.
She identified two Of the players.
The first on the left standing, she
said was Dorsey Ashby, and be-
side him on his right, Jesse Ash

Still not definitely identified are
most of the other players and the
crew of the company railroad loco

Today's Photo
And speaking of locomotives,
here's a railroad station without
a sign of train. The scene is the
Oakland Baltimore and Ohio rail
road depot, but in making the
Photographic print the photog-
rapher "flippcd" his negative, thus
making what should be on the left
appear on the right, and what's on
the right is really left SO the pic
ture is not actually facing east, as
it would appear, but points west.
The pictures age has been csti-
mated at about 60 years or so. Two
of the young boys in the center
are identified as. on the left,
present State Senator Bernard l..
Gondcr and the youngster on the
right is Stuart F. Hamill, ST..
The mature boys don't remember
what they we're waiting for at the

Fifth graders with higher

three months ahead of the

School officials said they be-

from the fact Montgomery
County introduces pupils to
arithmetic fundamentals at a
slower rate than other systems.
However. they said, county
students consistently scored
high in arithmetic reasoning
and surpassed pupils else
where in fundamentals as they
caught up in later grades.

Zoning Body
Restrictedon on
GruveI Pits

The Fairfax County zonine
Appeals Board has beer
stripped temporarily of some
Of It's powers by the county
supervisors.
The supervisors yesterday
took away the boards right to
grant use permits for sand and
gravel pits.
Virtually every application
for such a permit has been op-
posed by neighboring residents.
Controversy over the gravel
pits arose again recently when
a 2-year-old girl drowned in a
gravel-washing pond of Tele-
graph road.
Several weeks ago the super
viSorS asked the zoning board
to defer action on use permits
until county planners work out
recommendations to improve
the appearance and cut down
the. hazards Of sand and gravel
pits.
Mrs. Lawrence Henderson
zoning board chairman, told
the supervisors in a letter that
the board would not accept
any more applications until
the planners report has been
completed.
But she added that the zon-
ing board felt it must hear
pending applications.
Supervisor william H. Moss
Of Lee district, where most OF
the gravel pits are situated,
said he was disappointed" in
the coming board.
The motion to strip the power
to grant use permits was made
by Supervisor A. Claiborne
Leigh.
Mr.. Moss said the supervisors
will give the board back its
powers after performance
standards are adopted.
