Employment Of Minors
By Liquor Agency Hit

Employment Of minors in the
Montgomery County Depart
ment of Liquor Control was
criticized yesterday by the county
council.
The practice was sharply at
tackled last Friday by the March
term grand jury.
County Manager E. T. Beall
said yesterday no minor has
been hired since the beer truck
accident last December 7. in
which a 19-year-old county-em-
ployed driver struck and killed
two boys.
Mr.. Beall said no minors now
are driving trucks for the county
and that the department does
not intend to hire any more
minors. Eight are employed in
the department.
Councilman Lathrop E. Smith
suggested that the county set up
special tests to be given any per-
son hired in driving capacity.

ments in the Christmas Hill
fighting in Korea.
Evacuated by jeep to q field
hospital. he met q friend.
AS he put 1t yesterday. the
friend was the Red Cross.
Thirty pints Of Red Cross blood
were poured into his veins. At
one point, three bottles were
hangingNover him at the same
time-one emptying into each
arm and one to his right thigh,
A Red Cross girl was the first
person he saw at the field hos
pital. She wrote a letter to his
folks for him, gave him cigar
ettes-"all the things the Army
Medical Corps was too busy to
do"
THE doctors were busy saving
lives, and the Red Cross saving
hearts," he told a luncheon OF
volunteer workers in the United
States Chamber of Commerce

Greeted at Airport.
Flown to Tokyo. he found the
same thing. He was greeted at
the airport by Red Cross work
ers and given the first milk he
had seen in months.
II drank rs gallons Of It," he
declared.
At the Tokyo Hospital the Red

valescencce. the Red Cross gave
him q radio. guitar. cigarettes,
books. magazines-"and never

raisers. But it's an important
thing to me. The American peo-
pie, through the Red Cross have
been so wonderful In saving my
life and taking care of me after
I did such a small thing for
them.
THANK you, for myself and
the others you have helped in
the past. and for those to come. "

About This

This Is the first time Bendall has
said anything like this. This is
the first time we have had to
actually 60 out and look for good
used cars. Drive by any Of our
three big lots in Alexandria:
SO1 N. Washington Street
1911 King Street
1906 Jefferson Davis Hwy.
and see for yourself that we are in
the unique position Of needing
used cars to fill these lots. The
reason Is, we've taken ourselves
by surprise with the big volume Of
our 1854 Pontiac sales. The result:
we're now allowing the
highest trade.ins by far
in all our history
and you can be in clover with the i'm

DC. Super Statesmen
AreSoughtto 10 Bring
New Business Here

Washington's businessmen and
civic workers have been asked to
take active roles as super sales
men" in the Board of Trades
program to bring new business
activities to this area.
Francis j. Kane, president of
the Washington Board Of Trade,
declared in statement pub
lished in the Board of Trade
News: '"The product you have to
sell is the greatest city in the
world and its metropolitan area,
one of the fastest growing in the
United States today"
The Trade Board last March
inaugurated the program with
creation of an Economic Devel-
opment Committee. The COM
mittee is actively engaged in
bringing business and light in
dustry to this area to offset the
community's dependence on Fed
eral payrolls as the basic en-
ployment factor.
Mr.. Kane suggested that area
residents who deal with firms
outside this area that might log
iCaHy locate here report the
name of the concerns to the
Trade Board so they may be
placed on a list of prospects.
"The attraction of new organ
izations and industry is a highly
competitive proposition and other
communities throuhout the Ma
ton are engaged in the same
type program" Mr.. Kane said.
"Thus while many prospects
will be approached and devel-
oped. the number that actually
will materialize by coming here
may be few-and the time of fa-
vorable decision months away.
This emphasizes the need for
super statesmen to keep the list
of prospects growing constantly
and we're counting on every one
Board of Trade members and
residents generally-to help us
in this important phase of our
economic development work"
