Forest Hills Citizens
Oppose Zoning Relaxation
Fearing that under the guise of
emergency needs regrettable housing
needs might arise, the Forest Hills
Citizens’ Association last night re
iterated its opposition to any trend
relaxing the present zoning laws.
The motion was unanimously passed
after a lively discussion of the
Friendship housing project and its
relation to the Forest Hills area.
Nugent Dodds, vice chairman of,
the District Salvage Committee,
stressed the present and threat
ened shortages in such defense ma
terials as rubber, tin, scrap Iron
and paper and urged an to help in
the salvage campaign. Mr. Dodds
told the group how his own section
of Foxhall Village had relied on
neighborhood boys to gather the
salvage from homes into one spot
for collection, turning all money re
ceived over to the Boy Scouts and
the area’s defense drive. This, the
meeting decided, was the best meth
od, and Ernest H. Daniel's motion
to appoint Mrs. Leslie Wright as
head of a salvage committee was
approved.
i The group passed a motion by
Mrs. Wright that a letter of con
dolence be sent to the family of
the late Maj. Gen. Mason M. Pat
rick. Gen. Patrick had been a “cor
nerstone of the association” and
was treasurer for a number of
years.
Action on plans to raise funds for
the area’s defense requirements
was postponed until the next meet
ing. The group met in the Ben
Murch School.

Yesterday they voted to turn the
