Neuv ZOning
Category
Is Weighed

A plan for a new kind OF
land coming which, if adopt
ed, would result in the coun-
ty. acquiring free land, is
under consideration by the
Montgomery County Planning
Board.
The method is referred to as
average lot coming" It was
advanced by members of the
Upper Rock Creek Watershed
Landowners Association.
The new coming regulations
would apply to any coming cate
CORY but most likely would be
used only on half-acre and acre
lots.
1t would work like this: if the
county would permit a land
owner to subdivide his land
with lots both larger and
smaller than an arbitrary cate
CORY, and if the landowner
could utilize, say a 75-acre tract
to the same density as a 100
acre tract, then the landowner
would give the 25-acre differ
ence to the county.
If the arbitrary zone called
for 20,000-foot lots, for instance,
the subdividers would like to be
able to lay out some lots with
1880 square feet and perhaps
some with more than 10000
the whole of all lots conform
ing to an average of 10000
square feet.
Water and sewer availability
is the key to the zone. Where
both were present, there very
likely would be more lots
smaller than the average.
Motivating theory supporting
the average lot coming proposal
could be stated succinctly as
"you give a little, I'll give a
little"
In an area like the Rock
Creek watershed, where the
county wants land but can't
afford to buy it, and where the
land is zoned too large for the
comfort of landowners with
plans to subdivide, such a pro-
posal may make sense to the
planners.

You can also color concrete-mix it in or
paint it. You can score it in patterns or give il
special surface texture. Poured, pre-cast, or
in masonry units, concrete goes with any sur

MODERN
MANNERS
Use Common Sense to Decide
About Removing Gloves
By CAROLYN HAGNER SHAW

To remove, or not to re-
move ones gloves when
shaking hands is a question
that is rather hard to an
swer. For generations fash
ion dictates have wavered
between do and don't.
In my opinion, common
sense rather than rigid ad-
herence to form should be
applied in this instance,
particularly in the case of a
gentleman. 1t is perfectly
correct that he keep gloves
on to shake hands with a
friend when outdoors. AS a
matter of fact, today this
procedure is considered more
correct than to take the
glove off.
1t would seem a rather
silly affectation to remove it
when you meet someone on
the street and Just shake
hands in passing. I do not be-
lieve that it is necessary to-
day to draw attention to the
fact that you are not re-
moving your glove. However,
do as you like. If you do
mention it, Excuse my
glove" is the proper thing to
say. not Pardon my glove"
In the case of milady, I
think it's a good rule to wear
gloves to your destination
and remove them as the oc-
caSion requires. This would
apply to both daytime and
evening. AS in the case of
the gentleman. see no point
in removing the gloves when
shaking hands on the street.
However. for an indoor
meeting, except the most cas-
ual, my advice is to remove
your gloves. Somehow it does
not seem a very friendly ges-
ture to shake gloved hand.
For formal appearances,
such as receiving lines, it is,
of course, correct that gloves
be kept on by both those re-
ceiving and those being re-
ceived. But even here it
would seem that the greeting
would be more gracious on
both sides if at least the
right glove is removed.
One very important thing:
Never keep gloves on when
eating or drinkingl
Whether you do or do not
remove your gloves is really
not a matter of essential
courtesy today. If you feel
more comfortable with them
on there is no reason why
you should not wear them.
Particularly in the case of a
woman, I think gloves are
needed to complete any cos

is with regard to the use Of
my name. Do I use my maid
en- name, followed by my
married surname, or do I use
Mrs. John Francis Doe? What
do I use when having cards
engraved?-Mrs. R. M.
Answer "A widow always
continues using her name in
exactly the same way she did
when her husband was alive.
Mrs. John Francis Doe" is
correct. Her cards would be

ner.
Question: have received
an announcement of a
friends marriage. How do
I answer this?-Mr. L. r. B.
Answer-It is not necessary
that an announcement of a
wedding be formally acknowl-
edged. OF course if you wish
to write a note of congratu.
lation. it is perfectly per-
missible but not obligatory.
Question: received a call
ing card the other day and
in the lower left-hand corner
were the initials IN. B." What
in the world does that mean?
Mrs. K. G. E.
Answer - These initials
stand for the Latin 'Nota
bene" meaning to mote we'll"
They are placed on the card
to call special attention to
the words which they precede.

they are to indicate a change

tune and give it that we'll

have a very practical pur-
pose; they keep your hands

While on the subject of
what to wear and not to
wear. let's consider the mat
ter of wearing a hat or 60
ing bareheaded? AS in the
case of gloves, think this
is a matter which should
be dictated largely by per-
Sonal preference and local
custom. During recent years,
going without a hat has
grown in favor. However, I
think we are all agreed that
any time a woman wants
to look we'll dressed, a hat
should be worn.

provisions of the new law which
goes into effect July 3.
White said $4,000 applications
had been processed, an estimated
10000 returned for further infor-
