Bill To Put
County In
Liquor Business
Revenue Accruing Is The
Bait Held Out To
Our Citizens

A bill has been drafted for intro
duction in the Maryland Legislature,
that will put Cecil County in the Ii
quor business. The excuse, not argu-
ment, held out as bait, is the age
old revenue" that would accrue if
the voters of the county permit them
selves to be bamboozled into letting
this measure become a law.
The Cecil County bill provides for
the creation of county dispensary
system, which would run tie hard
liquor business on the package plan.
Proponents of the bill playing up
the profits" in other Eastern Shore
counties where the system is in op-
GRAFTON, hold out the tempting bait
that some 100000 of wet money
would flow into the county Golfers by
the creation of such an act as the one
framed. This word framed" is used
advisedly, as that is exactly what
will happen to the county if the mea-
sure goes through and is enacted into
law.
AhO piopoSou OeCll measure Will
provide for the County Commission
ers to be created as liquor license
board. AS it stands the issuance of
off sales on hard liquors would be
prohibited and would allow sales on
the premises in hotels only.
The host of other liquor vendors
would be permitted to sell beer and
wines.

INCREASE PAY
FOR JUDICIARY

There is being prepared, for spon-
sorship by the Maryland State Bar
Association, which will meet in Balti-
more later this month, bill to in
crease the salaries of judges in the
State-both the membership of the
new Court of Appeals, the Supreme
Bench in Baltimore and the associate
jurists in the counties.
In recent years, the matter of sal
aries and pensions of Judges has
proved to be one of the most contro-
versial preached in the legislative
halls.
According to reports, the bar asso-
citation will propose that the salaries
of the new 5-man Court of Appeals
be raised from $11,500 year to
$4,000, with an extra $1,000 for the
chief judge.
The proposed legislation, it is re-
ported, also will seek to raise the sal
airy of associate judges in the coun-
ties from $500 a year to SIC, 900,
and would provide for an increase
in the pay of the Supreme Bench of
Baltimore to $12,50O.
In the latter instance the judges of
the Supreme Bench of Baltimore are
now paid $10,000-of which Balti-
more city contributes $1,000.
The proposed legislation would
have the State raise the base compen-
sation of the judges in Baltimore to
$4,000, the same as for associates
in the counties and would require the
municipality to contribute another
$4,000.

be the first representation Of a
turkey ever printed.
He came across the picture in a
centuries-old zoology text, His

Conrad Gesner, a Swiss naturalist,
who is credited generally, Father
Herscher said, with being the first
naturalist to illustrate his writings.
"Gallopavum," the Latin word
for ''hen peacock" was Gesner's
name for the traditional Thanks
giving Day bird. Gesner wrote
that the bird came from the West
Indies, emitted a mountaineering

The librarian said the turkey
actually originated in America,
was domesticated in Europe and
brought back by colonists. Some
historians believe Columbus took
the turkey to Europe; others, that
it was fernando Cortez, Father

He suggested these possible
origins of the name turkey" a

from Turkey; its 'turk-turk-turk'
call and its somewhat fez-like
