The Rockville Chamber of Com
merce Tuesday night at its regular
meeting went on record as urging

Sentinel Circulation Drive In Whirlwind Finish
Beer And Wine May Be
Brought Into County

It looks as if beer and wine may be
permitted to flow into Montgomery
County even if the local option law
prohibits the selling of the same here.
Both States Attorney Stedman
Prescott and former States Attorney
Robert B. Peter, Jr., are of the opin-
ion that nothing will deter the deliv-
cry of beer and wine under the pro-
posed new amendment from coming
to Montgomery County homes.
The local option law here reads that
"any spurious or intoxicating drinks
Of any kind whatsoever or any article
used or sold sa beverage in the
composition of which whiskey, brandy
high wines or alcohol or any spurious
or fermented liquids shall be used as
an ingredient or ingredients shall be
unlawful"
Even near-beer, with its one-haf of
one per cent is legally barred in Mont
gomery County believe it or not.

in which it was stated that "as con
servator you are regarded as agent o.

can be submitted.

ing and Trust Company of Montgorn-
cry County, including the main bank
at Rockville and the Kensington

holders.

positors, directors and officers. The re-
port states:
"The plan upon which we will pro-
pose to open your bank for 100 per
cent normal banking business will not

positors. All large depositors will,
however, be asked to contract to leave
part of their respective deposits

other economies. The savings in the
school system as advanced by the
Governor in his proposed reductions
would amount to approximately
$653,000. This sum, plus more than
100000 cut from the school appro-
priations when the budget first was
revised, will make the total reduc-
ton approximately $1,OOO,OOO. Sen
ator Melvin said the measures have
the concurrence of the State Depart
ment of Education and the Senate
Committee on Education.
Under the Melvin bills the mini.
mum salaries of teachers and prin-
cipals would be cut from ten per
cent for those receiving less than
$1,000, on rising scale of Is per
cent for those who receive $4,000

tenance, applying only to counties

ton fund. Another provides for the
