Liquor Dispensary
At Gaithersburg
Up for Discussion

The advisability of establishing
a Liquor Dispensary in Gathers
burg will be discussed next week
with James F. Erwin, director of
the County's Department of Liquor
Control, according to an announce
ment made by the County Council
this week.
The Council said that in a letter
received from Erwin, it was pointed
out that the Liquor Control de-
partment has made a survey in
Gaithersburg and has concluded
that a package store there would
relieve the overcrowded parking
conditions and traffic hazards
around the Rockville dispensary.
Mr.. Erwin said the area to be
served by the proposed Gathers
burg dispensary includes Washing
ton Grove, Emory Grove, Goshen,
Middlebrook, Germantown, Clop-
per, Ounce Orchard and other Up
County communities.
He said the location under con-
sideration is the building in Gath
ersburg formerly occupied by Safe
way Stores, which is owned by
Clyde f. Thomas. Mr.. Thomas has
offered to lease the premises to the
County for 5000 a month on a FIVE
year lease. The brick building is
in the heart of the old Gathers
burg business section and ample
off-street parking space is avail
able, Mr.. Erwin said.
The Council pointed out that at
tached to Mr.. Ervin's letter were
letters of recommendation from
Mr.. Thomas, W. l. King Sons, mo-
tor dealers, Leonard H. Hoyle,
president of the First National
Bank of Gaithersburg; L. NJ.

tai Five and Ten Cent Store, and

School Children
To Ransack Their
Attics Saturday

The school children of Montgom-
cry County will be ransacking the
attics this week, looking for ou<
grown and castoff clothing to do
nate to the Tenth National Chill
dren's Clothing Crusade. Opening
on November 10 and extending
through November 80, this cam
paign will collect clothing for the
war-torn families of South Korea
as well as for the needy of this
county.
Encouraging all the community
to prepare bundles for this national
crusade, Clark McCutcheon, of
Gaithersburg Elementary School,
the county chairman of the drive,
emphasizes that even those fami-
lies without children can cooperate
by giving their old clothing to any
neighborhood school student.
In cooperation with the Inter
High Council which is sponsoring
the drive locally, the Save the Chill
dren Federation is sponsoring the
national program. The Federation
has pledged large amounts Of
clothing to the people of South Ko-
rea, where the need is limitless.
One-haIf of the clothing collected
in this county will be sent to re-
lieve the devastated condition Of
the people there.
The other half of the bundles
will remain in the county to be dis
tributed to local families. Members
Of the Inter-High Council, an or
ganization including student coun-
Gil representatives from every hign
school in the county, are managing
the drive in the senior high schools,
and are taking charge Of the col
lection Of the clothing from each
school.

that the Washington contracting
firm Cancelled it's contract on
grounds that the long delay in pro-
curing necessary steel for the
framework of the building consti-
tues contract default by the
County.
Not Enough Steel
Macdonald said the Blake Coii
struction Co., also of Washington,
which holds the contract for the
steel work on the building has on
ly secured $50 tons of needed
600 tons and that the balance Of
the material cannot be delivered
until January.
At this point, it appears con-
struction of the building will end
in an avalanche of law suits
which, presumably, will be filed by
the County against the Byrne Or
ganization and by the Byrne Or
ganization against the County.
Macdonald said his office is Of
the opinion that the Byrne Com
pany accepted the possibility of
delays in securing the short-supply
steel when it accepted the County
contract He stated that the coun-
ty would sue for any losses sus
tanned by the company's with
drawal.
Suit BY Byrnes
He said also that the Byrne Or
gani7ation probably will fine suit
against the County in order to col
lect damages for materials purch
ased bv the compsny for the pro-

Drunken DriUers
Receiving Cool
Court Receptions

Current reports that trial mag
istrates' courts in the County are
stiffening their attitude in the mat
ter of drunken driving cases COM
ing before them were verified in
part this week.
Judge Walter Norman, trial
magistrate in Rockville, told the
Sentinel it is the policy of his
Court not to allow drunken drivers
to forfeit collateral and that all
such cases must stand trial. While
the number of drunken driver cas-
es coming before the Rockville
Court are not Alarming, Judge
Moorman said. "there are still too
many Of them" He estimated that
an average of two drunken driving
cases come before him each week.
While Judge j. Fendall Cough
Ian of the Silver Spring court could
not be reached for comment, his
office said offenders can forfeit
collateral there, but that the
amount of collateral which must be
put up by drunken drivers has been
doubled within the last month or
six weeks. Such cases are now re-
quired to put up 1901 where collat-
eral posted formerly amounted to
$1O0. Drunken driving cases be-
fore the Silver Spring Court num-
Der four or five a week. The Office
spokesman said two out of each
three drunken drivers elect to for
felt collateral despite the size Of
the amount posted.
Judge Oscar Sees office for the
Bethesda area said drunken driv-
ers are permitted to forfeit collat-
eral and that out of every three or
four arrests, one case comes to
trial.
The Court has no established
policy for handling drunken driver
cases and each case stands or falls
on its own merits. 1t was said that
both fines and Jail sentences have
been and are imposed by the Court.

claimed Thanksgiving Day to. the
People of the State of Maryland
this week. a..r
On December 26, 1941, joint
resolution of the U. S. Congress
set the fourth Thursday of each
November as a national legal holi-
day. But Thanksgiving is more
than legal date on the national
calendar.
1t is day when blessings are
counted; a day traditionally mark

breast of Brother Turkey.
And these things are as they
should be.
