Rust Sees Prince William
Moving Into New Era

Burgeoning Prince William
County, 80 miles from Washing
ton. is experiencing the first
stages of growing pains familiar
to nearby Virginia communities.
There's no question that
Prince William County will re-
orient its thinking toward, the
Northern Virginia area" out
going county executive Albert
B. Rust. jr.. said.
Mr.. Rust has resigned the
Prince William post where he
has been the top administrative
officer for the past two and q
half years, to accept an engi-
|neering position with Melpar,
Inc, in Fairfax County. He will
be succeeded, January /, by N.
c. Sharp, 81, now administrative
assistant to the City Manager
Of Fredericksburg, Va.
Compared to Nearby Area
A mechanical engineer and
graduate Of the Virginia Poly
technic Institute, Mr.. Rust said
Prince William County is ex-
periencing rapid growth, plan
ming and coming problems, the
need for new schools and tax
sources similar to those which
have plagued Northern Virginia
Jurisdictions in the past Is
years.
Since 1850, he said, the
county's population has jumped
from $4,000 to about $4,000 and
school enrollments have in
creased by 750 to 800 students
a year.
Now operating on a SIS mil
lion budget: next years budget
will have to be increased by from
100000 to 100000, mainly to
provide school services, Mr.. Rust
predicted.
Though leaving the field of
government administration, MIR.
Rust will continue to live in Hay
market in the county. He will
continue to serve on the county's

corollary proposition that it is
bad and ought to be changed.
The bare fact is that virtually
all laws governing the distribu-
ton of liquor are arbitrary by
the very nature of the subject
matter"
Two other proposed bills
which would extend pouring
licenses to a much wider category
of restaurants and taverns were
rejected in the statement as
being wholly inconsistent with
the character, quality and repu-
tation of Montgomery County as
a desirable place for suburban
living and for raising a family"
Other Actions
The argument that loosening
liquor laws would produce ad-
ditional revenue for the State
and county must yield to the
more important considerations
of public health, morals and
welfare" the statement added.
The county lawmakers also
rejected four proposals put forth
by the board of license commits
sioners. consisting mostly of in
creased license fees.
Although we are in sympathy
with some of the boards stated
aims" the statement said, I'VE
do not believe that the proposed
bills are sufficiently urgent or
sufficiently capable Of achieving
their own objectiveS to warrant
further consideration"
The only alcoholic beverage
still alive after yester-
days joint statement is the bill
presented by Delegate Warren
Browning to limit the sale of
mixed drinks at country clubs to
bonaflde members. This 'is still
under consideration" the state
ment said.

Civil Defense
Tax Aid Backed

A plan to permit civil defense
volunteers to deduct up to $500
a year in figuring their Federal
income taxes will be offered to
the 85th Congress by Senator
Beall. Republican Of Maryland.
Senator Beall said his bill is
designed to encourage voluntary
work In behalf of the defense
effort.
"I have been alarmed by re-
ports that portions Of our vital
civil defense system are being
Ihampered by a lack Of person
MEL" he explained, "and I think
that passage Of this measure will
show our appreciation for work
lof those persons now serving ir
Ithe program as well as offer ar
additional incentive to many
Iother Americans to join"
The bin would permit individ-

defense work.
The maximum annual deduc-
ton for any person would be
$500 a year and the total any
Taxpayer could claim for work
performed by himself and his
dependents would be $1,000
Senator Beall said.

Montgomery now allows sale
of mixed drinks only at country
clubs and three rural restaurants
that qualified under a special
provision of the present law
when 1t was adopted in 1888.
Sam Fig recently obtained the
county's thirteenth country club
license for use at his plush new
motel on the Washington Ma
tional pike, just north of Rock
vile.
Revived Pressure
In the past few months there
has been revival of the pressure
seen two years ago for extension
OF mixed drink privileges to
other establishments.
One bill proposed to the county
lawmakers by attorneys for six
leading restaurants would have
set up requirements which would
have made about IA or IS county
restaurants eligible for so-called
pouring licenses.
This proposal, the Joint state
ment said. would give a great
economic boost to those restau-
rants receiving the privilege and
at the same time would have a
very harsh effect upon those res
taurants and taverns which
could not qualify.
