Mrs. Walter Perry
Heads The League
OF Women Voters
Vets And Drys Outline "After
Repeal Plans For State
Of Maryland

Mrs. Walter Perry, of Bethesda,
will head the Montgomery County
League of Women Voters for the
coming year. She was elected Tuesday
at the annual meeting of the organi-
cation held in Rockville.
Mrs. Gilbert Grosvenor was chosen
first vice president of the league. Mrs.
Edward H. Helmuth was elected Sec
ond vice president. Other officers:
Miss Louise Engel, recording secre-
tary; Mrs. C. E. Stanton, correspond
ing secretary; Mrs. Herman Wilson,
retiring president, treasurer.
Mrs. R. G. Thompson, of Burtons-
vile, president of the county Women's
Christian Temperance Union, said
the union would continue it's temper
ance education after repeal. She
characterized passage of the 80 beer
bill as disgrace"
Various plans of liquor control
were outlined by Crossan Cooper, Bal
timore attorney and a representative
of the Crusaders. He recommended
limitation of the profits from the
liquor traffic on the grounds that il
was public service as much as q
bank or street car company.

Cooperation Of Both
Vets And Drys Held
Vital In Repeal Act

The editor of THE SENTINEL be-
lieves that great many people are
selfish in demanding local option for
their own county while supporting
the repeal movement as whole. The
writer furthermore believes that
those sections and districts of Mont
gomery County which plainly indi-
Gated their stand on repeal on Sep
TENDER IL should he permitted to
sell spurious liquors. There seems
no apparent reason why eleven cleo
ton districts of the county should
have to abide by the dictates of the
remaining two.
The whole problem of liquor repeal
be it local or national, must hinge
upon whether or not the 21st Amend
ment will better conditions in the
United States. No governmental unit,
whether it be large or small, can
solve the question of excess liquor
consumption by remaining dry while
its neighbor goes wet. That still
leaves the bootlegger to be dealt with.
From purely an academic standpoint
every unit of government should be
permitted to have its way concerning
the sale of liquor. State and county
officials are more or less pledged to
that view. But after all it doesn't set
tie anything. Education against ex-
cess drinking plus the moral support
of the drinkers themselves will prove
the only deterrent to drunkness. Ex-
cess drinking is to be deplored-but
after all it is only a police problem
in so far as the law is concerned.
There had never yet been an example
of any government banning liquor
by a stern edict and remain satisfied
with the result. This with the excep-
ton of the land of the Mahommedans.
There the problem is purely religious
and who can deny that other social
problems there exceed the alcoholic
question in degree of wickedness?
There is no doubt that legalized
liquor is back-to stay for some time.
There should be no room for argu-
ment on that score, despite the pro-
phecies of Bishop Cannon. There is
only room for discussion now on the
distribution of alcoholic drinks. Will
it be universal in Maryland or Mont

Rryan Davis To
Be Tried During
November Court
Emory Coblentz Case May Also
Come Up For Trial
This Term

The docket for the November term
of the Circuit Court for Montgomery
county, which begins here Monday
includes two important cases.
Bryan Davis, formerly town clerk
and treasurer of Takoma Park, who
is charged with embezzling $12,809.66
of the funds of Tokoma Park while
he was town treasurer, will be tried
He will be defended by Attorneys F.
Barnard Welsh, of Rockville and j.
Bond Smith of Takoma Park, with
States Attorney Stedman Prescott
conducting the prosecution.
The other case scheduled is that of
Emory L. Coblenz, president of the
Central Trust Co., Of Frederick. His
indictment was the outgrowth of al
legged acceptance by the Poolesville
Branch OF the CenCrdl 1ruSC w., VI
a deposit when, the indictment
charges the trust company was known
by him to be insolvent.
There is understood to be proba-
bility, however, that Coblentz will not
be required to stand trial here for the
reason that he was acquitted in Fred
erick on similar charge by the same
judges who would preside here in case
of a trial. Whether or not the case
against him here will be pushed will
not be determined until after the
November term gets under way, &C
cording to States Attorney Prescott.

How Will Prohibition Repeal Affect
Residents OF Montgomery County?
George H. Lamar, An
Outstanding Dry, For
Present Local Option

George H. Lamar, of Rockville, one
of prohibitions staunchest advo-
Gates offers the following article ex-
planning the opinion of those who
ask the retention of the countrywide
local option law:
Genuine progress in civic affairs
must ever be built on the vantage
ground of past attainments both ma
terial and spiritual. True and safe
leadership, therefore, when project
ing new plans of government must
first take stock of and retain those
existant things of proven worth.
Particularly is this true where prop
erty rights and interests have been
acquired upon faith in the stability
of a governmental policy and under
the section of pre-existing law. The
social and material progress OF
Montgomery County is indissolubly
connected with the Local Option Sys-
tenn of prohibition.
These considerations alone should
cause the Governor and the Senator
and members of the House of Dele
gates for Montgomery County to re-
tain in it's County wide scope this
law which was sanctioned by direct
vote of the people and whose half
century test has proven it's adapta-
bility to the needs of the County as
whole.
But it so happens that each and
all of these persons in authority took
office under the platform promises
that would alone harmonic with the
retention of this Local Option Law.
In the State Democratic platform
of 1890 the "Home Rule" plank was
the same as had previously been
adopted by the State Conventions OF
1928 and 1926, which expressly gave
"full recognition of the right Of the
people of the various political 't''sts
of the State to secure from the
LEGISLATURE and approve at the
polls such prohibition laws as they
deem best for the respective Coun-
ties and Communities in which they
live. This is the Democratic prin-
cinle of home rule, which has been
MANY times exercised in Maryland.
The Maryland Court Of Appeals
has held that the local laws thus

Social Service
Will Get Further
Federal Benefits
Citizens Urged To Help During
Coming Winter In Dis
tributing Products

Montgomery County has received
further assistance from the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration in
the form of an ALLEGATION of salt pork.
BIT is expected that other commodities
Twill also be given for the relief of I'M
employment during the winter.
There are two fundamental princi-
Piles which should be understood by
everybody, by which the various
forms of produce are distributed by
social agencies. The first principle up
on which the Federal Emergency Re-
lief Administration has based the dis
tribution of the produce is that it can
be given only after the most careful
and detailed social case work investi-
cation. The same standards of relief
which already obtain in community
must be applied to the distribution Of
these surplus products.
The second principal governing the
distribution of surplus products is
that these products can be given only
as supplementary to already existing
orders for relief. None of these pro-
ducts can be used under any circum-
stances to take the place of local
effort for relief. Too much emphasis
cannot be placed upon this point. The
Federal Emergency Relief Admins
tration expects to assist local COM
munities in the usual circumstances
which face them, but it does not in
tend to relieve local communities of
all effort which they would normally
make for the relief of restitution
None of these products can be used in
place of the relief which is already
being given, and which will continue
to be necessary during this coming
winter.
Montgomery County's social service
and relief program must look to citi'
zens of Montgomery County for con-
ClHucu SuppOII, uiluCl o "AuAAS, e@AAN -
terest. Assistance from the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration is
being received, but it is limited in
time and scope. 1t is expected that all
assistance from the Federal Emerg-
ency Relief Administration will term
mate after this winter.
Montgomery County Social Service
League hopes for the year 1933-34 to
be able to increase it's relief to such
an extent that more adequate service
can be given. The standards of the
Agency have been carried on on a
high professional basis during the
emergency because of the loyal sup
| port and understanding of Montgom-
cry County citizens. It is, however,
necessary for the future welfare of
hundreds of families that relief be
placed on more adequate basis. This
program will be carried out with the
joint efforts of all citizens of Mont
gomery County.

Retreat

We stand on the old parade ground
AS the frightening shadows fall.
Shoulder to shoulder with COM
rades
Awaiting the bugle call.
Old Glory sinks from the flag pole,
We hear the sunset gun.
Nine hundred rifles snap to "pre-
sent"
And the sabers flash in the sun.
The strains of the Star Spangled
Banner
Float out on the quiet air;
There comes thrill to the soldier
That no other can ever share.
There's a love for our dear old
country
A pride in her uniform,
That comes to Us as we stand
retreat"
And fingers thru years TO come.
BY local veteran.
