Bright Tells
OF County's
Zoning Laws

Zoning and its exceptions in
Montgomery County were ex-
planned last week by Edwin L.
Bright, chairman of the County
Board of zoning Appeals, in a
talk to the Silver Spring Wom-
ems Democratic Club.
Bright told of variances In
coming and how they are grant
ed and why denied. Basically,
exceptions must not interfere
with the coming plans and indi-
viduals appealing a coming rul-
ing would do well to prove they
are actually being denied fair
use of thei property, he said.
Actually, what is not COM
monty understood, Bright add
ed, Is that the hardships con-
corning variances must arise
out of use Of the land rather
than be simply personal hard
ship on the petitioner. Generally
the county holds tight to its
prerogatives in coming, under
the power provided by the
County Council.
A former Congressional at
torney and now a Bethesda at
torney, Bright has a back
ground of IS years experience
in the District Oh Columbia
government. He is treasurer of
the Mems Club of Montgomery
County and a charter member
and SECRETARY Of the Optimist
Club.
Bright has served more than
two years on the Montgomery
County Personnel Board, is a
member of the bar of both the
District and Maryland. He was
member of the Board of Zon-
ing Appeals in 1859 and last
year was elected its chairman.

The Navy this week awarded
one of its highest honors to Wit
70 Laboratories, division of Wit
70 Corporation of America,
which serves as the Nays sys-
TENS engineering coordinator
for all Polaris fleet ballistic
missile submarines.
In ceremonies at Vitro's Sill
yer Spring headquarters, the

For outstanding service to
the Department of the Navy in
the field of ballistic missiles
systems. Assigned the task of
assisting the special projects
office in designing and coor-
dinating the indignation of the
missile system into the Fleet
Ballistic Missile Submarine,
Vitro Laboratories provided in
valuable assistance. Further,
the preparation of system docu-
ments, such as publications,
handbooks, one function draw
ings and switchboard guidance
drawings, greatly accelerated
the overall effort which led to
the early successful firing of
the first Polaris missile from a
submerged submarine on July
20, 1860. In recognition of and
appreciation for this contribu-
ton this certificate is approved
the first day of December,
1860"

to develop the system, was
only 16 years old. Vitro's' first
contract was for engineering as
sistance to the special projects
office during evolution from
the early concept of a liquid
fueled missile to the more ad-
vanced solid fueled Polaris.

It's going to take more than the
chill winds of late to keep out the
spirit of Christmas. Everybody has
a word to say about the wind, but
most people look to next week as
a joyous occasion.
The warmth and glow of Christ
mas is especially reflected, aside
from the religious aspects, in the
Christmas cards received from
people far and near. AS negligent
as we are of our friends, we don't
deserve any Christmas cards, but
in they come-each with its mess

we don't forget our friends, but

New Year to come.
We had a lot of calls on the err
ror in an ad last week but no one
was successful in finding the one
we had reference to. Many were
close. They had the right ad but
the wrong error. Two different
errors were made in the Alask;
Steamship ad. A few copies gave
the sailing date of the Tatalina al

was obviously wrong. The correc
date should have read January 3

Tennis The Menace

Arthur Ashe, Jr., IT aind an
honor student from st. Louis, won
the US. Lawn Tennis Association s
Interscholastic Championship at
the University of Virginia last
week, fulfilling the high promise
he has shown for a number of
years. Ashe defeated another St.
Louis youngster, Jim Parker, in
the final 6-2, 6-3, 6-3. He had been
especially impressive earlier the
same day in beating Cliff Buch-
holz, brother of Earl Buchholz, the
professional, in the semifinals Ga,
rs.
Ashe Is the first Negro to win
this tournament and he is the last
who will win 1t at the University
of Virginia, where it has been held
since 1916. People in Charlottes-
vile have been unhappy at the
university's role as tournament
host since Negroes began to ap-
pear regularly. Despite an agree
ment with the USLTA extending
through 1868, Virginia asked to be
excused this year, but reluctantly
agreed to hold the tournament on
condition that it definitely be
moved in 1862. The likelihood is
that the new host will be Williams

flannels does not upset white citi-
zens as it apparently does in Char

BoSeboIl'S New
Monoqer Gene Baker

Announcement that the Pitts
burgh Pirates have named Gene
Baker, 36-year-old former infield
star, as playing manager of their
Batavia (NY team marks another
glorious milestone in the recent
history of major league baseball.
Baker told the AFRO Wednes-
lay that the appointment might
well be the first of several which
are destined for colored athletes
in the foreseeable future.
Il only hope that I can do the
job that is expected of me-" he
said. I'm that case, 1 feel certain
that there will be others, more de-
serving than I, who will get the
same chance"
The Pit burg h management
chose Baker to serve as a rowing
instructor in the Pirate farm sys-
tenn, two years ago while he was
incapacitated for play by a serious
knee injury. He gained consider
able experience. So did the man.
Both came to realize that he was
timber. 1t is to the
credit of the Pirate front office
that they elected to give him the
opportunity to try his hand.
