A Portion of 'Maryland Report"
Speaks of Delinquent Enforcement

hood police officers around the
state, we can assure Garrett 5
'drys that selling beer to minors
is far more dangerous to a COM
munity'a we'll being than is the sale
Of mixed drinks to adults in a
Well-wu resort hotel.
"But is Garrett doing anything
about it? Apparently they are not.
There seems to be no attempts at
strict enforcement Of the Jaw re-
garding sales to minors. And it is
uncomfortable that law enforcement
personnel are unaware of violations
in their own backyard
Perhaps it is time Garrett re-
examined its tavern operations"
The question Of enforcement is
always brought into the picture
when advocating the sale of hard
liquor. Those who would like to
make their killing on the legal sale
Of whiskey and other hard liquor,
i'm tavern or resort hotel always
point out that liquor would be sold
in a well run" place Of business.
People who sell beer are called
upon to operate their places of
business in a "well run manner
but many Of them Of course do
not. The same crowd in this coun-
ty is holleling for the sale of
whiskey. What guarantee is there
that they would run their places
any better when selling whiskey
than when selling beer?
We will agree with Fulton Lew
is or anybody else that beer should
not be sold to minors, and that the
laws against such sale should be
enforced. Those jurists and others
who see the laws openly flouted
are obligated to testify to the
authorities. But how many Of them
will do it?

When asked if the men seemed
to divide into groups according to
pro" or "reactionary" beliefs, the
answer was no. If the men have
preiudices, they don't show them.
There is no political talk.
One of the girls main functions
is to help the returnees understand
why they are confined to the 509th
compound, why they can't have
liquor, why they have restricted
foods.

A four-page publication called
the maryland Report compiled
and edited by John Fulton Lewis,
gets to this area now and then.
There is am article ON delinquent
Enforcement in the issue Of Aug

We publish that article herewith,
in full, and call attention Of the
readers to some editorial comment
tackled ON the end Of the article.
Delinquent enforcement
"The people of Garrett county
are, for the most part, law abiding
citizens who have long withstood
the proposals for making the
county wet. Maryland report, has
in fact, criticized Garrett for not
permitting the sale Of liquor on a
limited basis so that resort hotels
would operate successfully in the
great potential resort area of that
far western mountain county.
But Garrett is moist in that it

are located everywhere IN the
county.
And being dry as far as strong
er spirits are concerned is some
thing Of a joke because the county
is surrounded by excessively wet
regions in Pennsylvania, West Nir-
ginia and Maryland's Alfcgany
county.
But while preserving the moral
fibre or what have you, of the
county ON the question Of legaliz-
ing the sale Of hard liquors, Gar
rett is gaining Il certain notoriety
in anothel-and we think far
worse respect.
ITO many teenagers Garrett is
a great sea for beer drinking
Sales to minors are flagrantly
demonstrated in many taverns.
The kids often provide bartenders
with their best customers.

What do the boys want to do
most? According to Miss Bittle
they spend most Of their time lis

few weeks of Operation Big
Switch they have gone through
hundreds of these platters. When
they're not playing the Victlola,
they are out experimenting with
their new PIX cameras.

Tells Of Reactions
OF Returning POW's

Inchon is a port city of many
moods and memories. Three years
ago American troops made their
famous landing there and gave it
its memories. Now daily scores of
returnees come in planes from
Freedom Village to the 509th Re-
ception Center on their way home
from Korea. These men give it
their mood.
Within the compound of the
509th a small group of American
girls wait for these men. Young
and enthusiastic they might be
found on any college campus at
Saturday night dances or football
games. But now, thousands of
miles from home, they concentrate
on the most serious job of their
youth bringing a touch of
America to a foreign land for
thousands of former prisoners of
war.

NEIGHBORS

You have more neighbors than

your radio on TV set. Into your
home comes news of what's hap
pening to people in every remote
corner of the globe. The more we
learn about others the less foreign
they become to us and if they're
not foreigners, they're neighbors.
Air power has shrunk the world
and shortened the distances around
it. | read where noted child
psychologist was asked about the
dangerous effects our modern tele-
vision programming might be hav-
ing upon our children. The ply
biologist replied that bigger
problem than that will soon be
upon us when our teen-agers want
to fly to Paris for the weekend.
In our world of today, we're not
nearly so much foreigners as we
are neighbOrs, the word that can

Oakland, Maryland
Dear Sir:
| am writing you this letter in
hopes that it will be published in
your next issue Of The Republican
On Saturday afternoon, August
Doth, 1858, happened to be at a
local establishment in the town of
Min. Lake Park, Md, at the same
time that two of our County APP
pointed Law Officers came in to
serve a summons and to make an
arrest Of one Everett Big Boy"
Wood, a resident of Mt Lake Park
Md.
Everett is not quite so fortunate
as most of us and is handicapped
with an affliction. TO those of you
who know him, this is well under
stood. These two officers took I'M
due advantage of this man and
frightfully beat and man-handled
him. Even after handwriting him
and tying his feet together he was
beaten with broken broom stick.
A shameful event assure you.
| along with a number of other
witnesses was dumbfounded at
such a display Of brutality here in
America. We have sent out boys
to foreign countries to fight
against tyranny in order to safe
guard America. Then to think and
be witness to such an outburst
here at home makes one really
wonder if we as citizens haven't
been asleep and need grand
awakening
