2DeIegates Consider
Dispensary System

oy Sforr correspondent OF The SfoP
ANNAPOLIS. Feb. 20-Twc
Prince Georges County delegates
are considering legislation to sci
up a liquor dispensary system in
their county.
Delegates Harry E. Taylor, jr.
and William r. (Huck) Hughes
Republicans, said they may spon-
sor such a bill for two reasons:
l. It would give the county an
estimated ST million in additional
revenue-enough to give teachers
a salary increase and still leave
a substantial amount to help run
the county.
2. It would be a major factor
in helping eliminate liquor law
violations and clean up the county
Both men emphasized they have
not made up their minds, however
adding that a principal stumbling
block in the path of such a pro-
posal is what to do about the pre-.
sent liquor license holders.

The measure, which would af.
feet 1851 returns. was reported

mated So million involved woulc
come out of State surplus funds
Earlier. the committee voted

Population Ruled Out
As Leading Factor in
fairfax Redistrictinq

A majority appearing at q
Fairfax County redistricting hear
ing last night urged new magis-
terial districts of nearly equa,
population. but they were told
that population would not be the
controlling factor.
The public hearing was the first
conducted by the seven-member
redistricting commission appoint
ed by the Circuit Court last spring
to fix new district boundaries.
John w. Rust, commission
chairman. said population woulc
be considered in reaching a deci.
sion, but would not be the con.
trolling factor. He said it ap.
peared impossible to form all the
districts into equal population
areas because State law forbids
creation of a new district under
80 square miles.
Falls Church District.
Mr.. Rust pointed out that the
present Falls Church district il
now just above that limit with
81 square miles, and has ovel
5000 residents.
He indicated that the commits.
sion probably would create an ode
number of magesterial districts
The county now is divided into
six districts. AS one supervisor
is elected from each district, thi.
requires the use of a tie-breakel
whenever the six supervisors be.
come deadlocked.
David H. Scull, chairman of 8
redistricting committee for the
Fairfax Federation of Citizens
Associations. presented a plan fol
five districts which he said woulc
achieve the equality objective, bu1
emphasized that this was not flec.
essarily the only method favored
by the federation. Each of thu
five districts would have about
10000 residents.
Others Speak.

equal population districts wer,

ting the League of Women Voters
j. w. Biggers, jr.; Mrs. Pierre Pal.
mer, j. E. Turner. H. A. Ward
Charles Platt. Donald M. Mitchell
Guy Bayes and David Walter.
Mr.. Rust pointed out that tn.
law does not require magesteria
districts of equal population.
G. Wallace Carper, chairman O.
the Board Of County Supervisors
said the whole idea of redistrict.
ing was to achieve a more equit.
able distribution of population.
Says Objective Is Lost.
eff that objective cannot be &C,

Mrs. Anne wilkins, SUPERVISE

With what anguish of mind l
remember my childhood,
Recalled in the light of knowl-
edge since gained,
The malarious farm, the wet
fungus-grown wildwood,
The chills then contracted that
since have remained;
The scum-covered duck-pond, the
pig-sty close by it,
The ditch where the sour-smell-
ing house drainage fell,
The damp, shaded dwelling, the
foul barnyard nigh it
But worse than all else was that
terrible well,
And the old oaken bucket that hung
in the well.
Just think of it! Moss on the

The water l drank in the days

Ere l knew what professors and

In the waters of wells by

The rotting wood-fiber, the oxide

The algae, the frog Of unusual
size,
The water as clear as the verses
of Byran,
Are things remember with
tears in my eyes.
Oh, had l but realized in time to
avoid them
The dangers that lurked in that
pestilent draft
I'd have tested for organic germs

With potassic permanganate ere

Or perchance I'd have boiled it,
