Drought Looms

Advocates of the nineteenth
hole at three of the biggest
country clubs in Montgomery
county are fearful of a drought.
Rulings of the Montgomery
County Liquor Control Board
order that Washingtonians can
not take liquor into Mont
gomery county under penalty OF
a fine of $1,000 or two years in
Jail, or both.
Consequently, persons belong
ing to clubs in Chevy Chase
and near by cannot take wines
and whiskies to their club from
the District. They must pur-
chase their beverages in Mont
gomery county, regardless Of
the fact that dispensary prices
there may materially exceed
rates in washington.
A person who wished to take
out a few bottles of sparkling
burgundy for a quiet supper
party would be stopped by the
ruling, and would be forced to
go thirsty unless he made his
wine or whisky purchases at a
county dispensary.
Other rulings by the board
that require containers to have
excise tax and stamps provoked
the passage of a resolution at
one of the clubs which pro-
hibits employees of the club
from holding" bottles for men,
bers unless the container bears
the proper revenue and excise
stamps,
