Re San Francisco, for E. c.
P: The weather is usually
lovely until June, when for 2
months the trade winds blow
and bring the coolest weather
Of the year.. Typical spring
cLothes as sold everywhere are
worn all year round-light
weight wool suits and dresses,
light top coats over rayon and
silks, fur wraps, etc. San
Francisco itself is very dressy
and grays, dark blues and
browns are worn a great deal.
The slarge hotels are rather
dreSsy. Men should never go
to San Francisco without a
light or medium weight coat,
Cravanette of gabardine coats
are worn all year. Men wear
white shirts with ties. Rubbers
and umbrellas should be taken
to be safe.
Re use of rotisserie, for r.
M. c.: have what is consid-
cred one of the best which I
bought as a result of an article
on them in Park East Maya
zine last spring. I would
strongly recommend getting
one of these. It has a glass
shield both in the front and
back for easy seeing and clean
ing. a timer, and 3 heats. I
cook almost everything in it
including vegetables and des-
serts. and I don't know how I
lived without it. Also, in the
summer it is a great boon aS-it
does not give out any heat
when it is used for roasting.
And every one raves about
anything cooked on a skewer.
I imagine with a little expert
menting one could go so far as
to cook a thin loaf cake or a
pie shell in it too. I should
think a one burner stove and
a good rotisserie would be ade-
quate for a small family. I
certainly would get a rotisserie
instead Of an electric oven
given such a choice. I've had
both. And you will still be
using the rotisSierie when you
do get a new stove. Recon-
mended dishes are eggplant
broiled with butter and tomato
f1avoring seasoning: tomatoes
(halveS or slices with butter,
garlic salt and crumbs;
canned peaches with marsh
mallows; bananas, butter and
lemon juice. Frozen vegetables
can be put under the meat
while the latter is broiling.
I need an oval, dome-shaped
glass to put over a raised pic
ture in an oval frame. once
heard that such could be made
or obtained from a firm in
Ohio If provided with a model.
l have a model. Does any one
know this firms name or
where it is located? I would
also like a simple wooden oval
frame about 18 inches long.

wonderful. To the lady who
requested the recipe for cho-
colate covered thin mints:
One quarter pound butter.
small package cream cheese;
cream together and add as
much Ak sugar as it will take
(about a package). If too
thick add a little cream. Add
few drops of peppermint ac-
cording to taste. Make patties
and dip in mixture Of choco-
late and paraffin. Sorry I
can't give more detailed in
structions but this was given
to me by word Of mouth and
we think them really deli

and couldn't make enough Of
them.

A Plea for Reason on
The Liquor Question

The very mention of any alteration in the liquor sale
setup in the County such chan-reacton of
tona response that the subject bids fair join religion and
politics tabooed for polite parlor discussion
The SENTINEL deplores this because Q) there are
indications reported in the that the liquor sale prob
lem in the County is again coming to fe and (2 history
has shown that effective solutions public problems rarely
result from osch-ike
attitude
In connection with this last point would like to pause
and parentheca commend Blair Lee for his position that
the only fair and democratic way settle the liquor matter
is to get it out in the open and discuss it.
If we going to discuss liquor sale in the County,
logic and elemental fairness point to two alternative basic
positions:
L. Either all retail across-the-bar liquor sales should be
banned, or
2 Some equitable system of such sale should be open to
all who wish to take part in it subject to public policy on
density of sale outlets for given area proximity schools
and churches, ETC.
We have long felt that it is neither fair nor logical to
allow three restaurants in the County drinks
the bar while rgidy denying other restaurant owners
chance to take part in the business
Carrying this logic step farther suggest that the
individuals to the liquor sale question comes down
to this:
The County either should be completely dry as far as
bar sale concerned wet to the extent that such sale
is permitted within fair and equitable public policy
We hope this contribution will help the determination
OF County policy by the electorate reasonable rather
than emotional basis

The Letter Box

orderly development of the upper
county can be submitted within
two years. This ordinance is now
being challenged by the same
group that has dominated the
Maryland National Capitol Park
and Planning Commission for
many years and would like to see
its authority extended to comprise
the whole of Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties. They
find the ordinance restrictive:
they wish all rural and residential
property placed in one class so
any lands therein may be subdi-
vided into half acre lots any time,
any place. They claim develop
ment has no effect upon the water
table. They object to allowing
adequate space for future widen
ing of streets in business areas.
They resent provision for Health
Department inspection to deter
mine safe spacing between septic
tanks and sources of drinking
water.
3. The National Capitol Region
al Planning Council serves the
whole Washington metropolitan
region. Every county in the area
is represented on that council. 1t
is charged to plan in the broad,
not in the detail, for the orderly
development of the Capitol and
its environs.
4. The plumber (The Washing
ton Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion) meantime goes his way in
dependent of the planners, setting
up pipes for the house to be built
around. The League of Women
Voters of Montgomery County be-
lieves:
az regional planning should
rest with the National Capitol Re
gional Planning Council
b the bi-county planning COM
mission should be retained to re-
ceive Capper-Cramton funds for
park acquisition and to pay off
bonded indebtedness;
g the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission, the plum
ber should be required to lay its
pipes in accordance with plans;
ID the planning function itself,
for Montgomery County, should
be unified and placed under the
County Government as an into
grail part of its functioning.
Our County Council, our Dele
cation to Annapolis, are current
ly making decisions affecting
planning for the county. They
are our elected representatives.
Now is the time for us, the citi-
zens, to make our will known.
Sincerely yours,

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Every family has a right to plan
its own home; similarly, the citi-
zens of Montgomery County have
right to shape the community
in which they live. A home-build-
er saves money by hiring an ar
chitect, but this community is cur
rently employing, as it were, three
90 architects, and a plumber to
guide our planning. Surely, this
is eXtravagant and inefficient.
l. The Maryland National Capt.
tol Park and Planning Commits
sion has served the lower part
of our county land Prince
Georges County, for some TWEEN
ty-five years. It's Commissioners
are appointed by the Governor on
recommendation of the party
State Central Committees. Its
budget is subject to no govern
mental control. It's tax monies
are set by delegates from all the
counties in Maryland. It's en-
ployees may be but are not under
merit system.
No comprehensive plan for the
orderly development of the lower
county has yet been completed.
Business is jammed in Silver
Spring; strung out like green
bean in Bethesda. Builders rush
from one authority to another for
clearance of building plans while
time goes and money lies idle.
Parents complain there is no near
by play space for children; some
communities cannot even find
room for the swimming pool they
would like to construct. Child
rem cannot paddle in our polluted
park streams. Tax dollars go to
repair roads poorly constructed
by pre-Charter developers; and to
widen streets that were not built
for increasing traffic. Parking
lots encroach on residential areas.
Our water table is falling critical
ly in rapidly developed communi-
ties such as Damascus and Coles
vile.
2. The Upper Montgomery

In Which We Tip Our Hat
To the American Legion

I The SENTINELS Santa Claus hat is tipped this week
to the American Legion specifically to Rockville Posts Sc
and ISL
This recognition of the Legion above the scores of other
groups that have worked with unselfSh spirit to make
Christmas bit happier for others may seem unwarranted
at first glance but after bit of reflection the following
facts we are sure the majority of readers will agree
1t that Post sc decided some time ago to give
Christmas party for of the youngsters in the County
least likely to have Merry Christmas That in itself was
splendid action but perhaps than many other or
CARNATIONS have done and are doing.
What makes the Legion action outstanding the way in
which reacted to the fact that at least percent of the
children nominated for the party by the County Welfare
authorities turned out to be from coored families
This seemed to call for a common-sense decision but
that might not have been taken by all organizations The
decision to invite coored Post Isl serve as cohosts
to the gathering.
We glad but not particularly surprised to be able to
report that the party tremendous success Both coored
and white adults and children enjoyed it enormously
We like this story and salute the Legion because:
It's ChTistmas-tm and if there ever was a time for
showing good will to = ALL men - it is on the
birth of the Savior of ALL men.
1t shows the cOmmOn-sense approach to relations
between the races which makes proud to be a men,
Der of the human and confident its ability solve
racial relations in spirit of quiet dignity and fairness
The step was taken by everyday American citizens
working in truly American Way to make their COM
munty better one in which to live.
1t makes the Christmas spirit a matter of warm
deeds and not cold words to which only p-service is
given.
Merry Christmas LegiOnnares You have made
Christmas brighter.
