RUM AND COCA COLA

Between the clamor raised by the
liquor dealers and the unintentionai
support given them by the w. c. T.
u, the general public is properly con-
fused ABOUT the Dispensary Bill. The
liquor dealers, of course, oppose ii
because of self-interest. The w. G.
Il. u. is opposed to the sale of ali
liquor and does not really make any
choice between private license ana
County Dispensaries. If it's mind were
directed to that issue, it should be
in favor of Dispensaries.
Under the present law, off-saie
licensees must also have on the pre-
misses bona fide grocery store OF
drug store. Thus we have liquor sold
in stores where children are sent fol
groceries. County Dispensaries would
sell liuqor only and under the mos.
rigid regulations; not rum and cocoa
cola.
Far from diverting the taxpayers
money into the liquor business, the
Dispensary Bill will help the taXpay-
ers. In addition to the profits of four
other counties previously given, fig
are now available from Kent county.
The Kent News of January 27 reports
that Kent Count yDispensaries made
a net profit of S42,00O.00 in the las,
six months. In six monhs, they repaid
borrowed capital of $4,000, set up
a reserve of $4,000 and applied the
balance to county purposes, amount
ing to six cents saved on the tax rate.
Cecil county can make over hum
dred thousand dollars a year net from
dispensaries. This equals twenty
cents off the tax rate. A small but
noisy minority ought not to be allow
ed to kill this bill. But they will xii.

taxpayers make Their weight felt.
Alter all, it is they VIII support and

gatlon will not ignore Pablo de-
mand for this law and can easily dis
criminate between communications
inspired by small minority interests
and public demand. Writ to them

In inspecting the throat, use

Tell the children to say "Ah"

Rowing Reporters

The Disabled American Vet
Grams claim $4,000 World War IL
members. But they, too, have a
limited field, since they cater to
the diSabled.
The Segion's other apparent
competition comes from the
American Veterans of World
War ii. Formed in early Decem-
Der by rger of nine tiny
groups with a total of $500
members, by late January it was
only pressing 5000 dues-payers,
which Is about two per cent Of
what the Legion could boast.
The Amvets are proceeding on
the theory that the Goodyear
old men and women of this war
should have their own organiza-
ton rather than merge with
their fathers generation and
seek to acquire influence in a
group already pretty firmly
moulded.
The Legion comedies that
there is a great disparity of So
cial and fraternal interest be-
tween World War / and World
War II veterans, both because Of
their differing war memories
and because of the huge age gap.
But the Legion feels that both
should have the same patriotic
aims and ideals, and that super
fetal differences can be over
come by permitting the younger
veterans to form their own posts
(local organizations).
HELP VETERANS
So the Legion is making It's
assistance, including physical
facilities, available to the World
War II veterans, and helping
them, where they prefer, to form
separate posts. Thus far there
are "a posts exclusively of vet
Grams of this war. One of the
largest is in Memphis, where
428 men and women were taken
into membership in a mass cere-
mony one evening.
A major reason for believing
that the Legion may succeed in
corraling a major share of the
World War II veterans who join
any organization lies in its ef-
ficient machinery for assisting
service men to deal with govern
ment red tape - machinery
