think of the newsprint saved by
printing the list in only three
papers.
We would not be human if we
were not pleased at the many in
quiries about the omission Of this
column for two weeks. This may
be attributed to the shortage of
paper. Not only Montgomery Side
lights, but church notices, local
news and even advertising has had
to be cut down in size or left out
entirely some weeks. Surely you
all read in the daily papers how
Canadian newsprint is tied up by
the weather and the shortage of
freight cars and that there is still
a general shortage of wood pulp
and paper.

Between sneezes and sniffles the
past week, when old man "Flu'
laid us low, we have had several
real good smokers, as we read the
bowls from two papers not as
signed by Treasurer j. B. Dia-
mond to print the delinquent tax
list. We suggest if those papers
so badly want to run the list for
its news value (they admit they
made no money on it) they might
do as the SENTINEL has done for
the past few years = buy several
thousand copies of the list from
the Maryland Nelvs and insert it
in their paper as feature one
week. The SENTINEL was not
among the eight weeklies that
were paid to run the list last year,
or the year before either. This
may be verified by the county ac-
countant, the treasurer, or The
Maryland NeaOs which was paid
by the SENTINEL for the necessary
copies. The paper which last week
applied its knowledge of trigonom-
etry to prove that the county this
year can pay twice the price-or
one dollar an item-and still save
money, forgot to add in the saw
ings the very considerable cost to
the treasurer's Office of preparing
eight lists for the printer. And

Many Ideas On Stadium

ceipts.
An entirely different idea was
presented by Hall. His proposal
was to charge an increase of two
percent to the original 10 percent
of the gate receipts and let the
concession rights be included al
no extra charge.
Still another. suggestion was pre-
sented by Harry R. Gardner. This
fourth and last proposal submitted

ing only five percent of the gate
