HERBERT O'CONOR
GIVES RULING
ON LOCAL BILL
Decides Bill Regulating Sale Of
County Liquors Cannot &c
Given A Referendum

According to an opinion handed
down by Attorney-Ge O'Conor,
the bill, passed by the latest session
of the General Assembly of Maryland,
relatives to the control of the sale
of liquor in Worcester, cannot be
granted referendum, to be voted on
at the next election.
This bill mainly provided for the
division of the profits of the liquor
business on the basis of 500 to the
County Commissioners and 500 to
the four towns-Ocean City, Berlin,
Snow Hill, and Pocomoke, each towns
share of their 500 being based upon
the volume of business done. The bill
also contained other items bearing up
on the management and control of
the liquor trade in the county.
Opposition to this legislation sprang
up in Berlin and Snow Hill and when
the bill was first introduced in the
Assembly, it failed by two votes of
the necessary constitutional majority.
A motion to reconsider prevailed and
on the second vote the bill was passed.
Foes of the bill renewed the fight
and concentrated their efforts on a
referendum. AS stated above, Mr..
O'Conor decides the bill is not refer
able, since it relates to the control of
the sale of spiritious liquors.

MEDITATION
adapted from "The Upper Room")
Psalm 95:6 30 come, let us worship
and bow down; let us kneel before the
Lord our maker"
We should worship God in the
church, in the home, and in secret.
We worship that which we admire and
adore, that on which we lean in trouble
and that to which we look for pro-
lection.
We can worship God at all times
and in all places and under all cir
cumstances. But it is better, in addi-
ton to the worship interlarded amidst
the busy daily duties, to have specific
times and places for worship during
which time we give all attention to
God and the things divine. For fam
lily worship an excellent time is at the
close of the morning meal.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
May our home be type of heaven.
