Practically everyone in Damas-

ready for the annual carnival of

partment which opens Monday
and runs through July z. Leslie
Thompson and Carlton Branden.
burg are co-chairrnen of the event
and Mrs. Clifford Davis Sr. is in
charge of the Ladies Auxiliary
booth.
In talking with Mr.. Thompson,
Les tells me there will be several
new booths this year including
one for the children and that
there will be a ground prize given
each night of the carnival at
11:30. This is also something new
this year.
Here is the program for each
day July 2, grand opening; July
3, firemen's parade; July 4, fire
works; July 5, TV stars with Tiny
Jenkins as master of ceremonies;
July 6, fireworks, and July Z,
drawing for the new car.
The men and women of the
Damascus Fire Department and in
fact almost everyone in the com
munity work hard each year to
make this event big success. We
hope you will all come out and
put your dimes and quarters to
work in a good cause. Damascus
firemen are proud of the fact
that their department is one of
the few in the county completely
supported by their own efforts
without the charge of any fire
tax. Incidentally if you readers
have any special connection with
the weatherman see if you can't
arrange for some good weather
for next week.
The Damascus Little Leaguers
are we'll under way in what looks
like a very successful season.
Damascus has two teams this
year, the Damascus Lions in the
National League and the Damas-
Gus Cubs in the American League
The Lions are tied for first place
in their league with the Mt. Airy
Red Sox and the Cubs are leading
their league. Play for this season
started June l and the games are
held each Friday evening at 7:30
No admission is charged and the
public is invited.
Uniforms for the Little Leaguers
have been purchased through
gifts by the Damascus Lions
Club, Souder Construction Co.,
Hoods Department Store, Gladhill
Brothers, the Bank of Damascus
and various individuals. Partici
pating in the league play are the
two Damascus teams, two from
Winfield and four from Mt. Airy
Coaches for the Damascus
teams are Donald Monkey, Roy
Scott, and Roscoe Buxton. There
are 30 Damascus boys participat
ing, Is on each team. Boys must
be nine to play and may play
through their twelfth year. Games
will be held through July and

Incidentally we don't know
whether the big leagues will be
scouting Damascus in a few years
or not but the Damascus Lions
have a 12-year-old pitcher named
Michael Burdette who really is
good. Already this season he has
pitched two no-hitters, one against
Winfield and one against Mt.
Airy. In the latter game he
struck out Is men. Some playing,
we would say, in any league.
Next Sunday will be children's
day at Damascus Methodist
Church. There will be no Sunday
school and the program will be-
gin at 1920 am. Mrs. Herbert
Hyatt Sr. is in charge of the pro
gram. Each of the youngsters in
the nursery, kindergarten and pri
mary departments will take part
and there will be group singing
from the junior department.
The WSCS meets at the home
of Mrs. Roland Green next Thurs
day at 1:30. Mrs. Maynard King
Mrs. George Boyer and Mrs

Brewery Mortality High
/ Chris Heurich, jr. was a Is
year old student at Western High
School when prohibition went
into effect. He knew little or
nothing about the brewery bus
mess when repeal came but his
father trained him for the SIC
cession. Mr. Heurich, jr., has a
two-year-old son by second
marriage, Chris. III. The father
had hoped to turn over the
brewery to him.
Mr.. Heurich said that his
mother. the widow Of the
founder. felt very bad" about
the decision her son and son-in-
law felt they had to make.
The passing of the Heurich
Brewery. Mr.. Eckles pointed out,
is Just another instance in the
mortality Of local breweries that
has been a marked trend since
repeal. In 1884 there were more
than $50 breweries in the Nation
Today there are about $50.
Every increase in taxation
has initiated against the local
breweries and helped those with
national distribution" he said.
6 Breweries Here Once
MI. Heurich recalled that after
repeal Heurich's beer was 10
cents bottle and the i'm
ported" beers, mostly from Mil
waukee and st. Louis. were is
cents.
The taverns had to charge so
per cent more for the premium
beers" he said. land it made a
big difference.
To-day the difference. usually
30 cents for the premium against
/ IS cents for the local. doesn't
seem so important to the Gus

Before prohibition. he noted.
there were six breweries in the
Washington area. the Heurich.
the National Capital Brewing
Co, the Washington Brewing
Co. the Abner-Drury Brewery,
the Roslyn Brewing Co.. in Ar
lington, and the Portner Brewery
in Alexandria. Only the Heurich
and the Abner-Drury breweries
operated after repeal and the
latter closed after two years.
In the old days these brew
cries had the bulk of the local
market to themselves. Bottled
beer was only a small portion OF
the total and while some barrels
were shipped from the Midwest
and New York for sale on draft
it was a small proportion.

Big New Wing Planned
by Lutheran Hospital

! BALTIMORE, Jan. 8 (R1.-The
board of directors of Lutheran
Hospital of Maryland has an
Inounced plans for building a new
SIS million wing at the Balti-
more institution.
! Carl c. Hauswald, president of
the board, said a building fund
campaign would be conducted in
Baltimore and in Anne Arundel,
Baltimore, Howard and Carroll
Counties.
after prohibition distribution had
been revolutionized by modern
refrigeration. The introduction
! of cans made the total sold in
containers greater than that
sold on draft from barrels. Bal
timore and Pennsylvania brew
cries became aggressive compete
tors for the Washington mar
ket. Instead of friendly or finan-
cial connections with the outlets,
advertising became a big factor
In the sale of beer.
The Heurich brewery used to
sponsor the radio broadcast of
the baseball games of the WASH
ington Senators, but let it go.
The broadcasts are now spon-
sored by a Baltimore brewery.
| Mr.. Heurich and Mr.. Eckles
said Washington has long been
a dumping place for distressed
beer" All that distributors have
to do is to pay the District tax.
The Heurich officials said they
had tried to get a regulation
similar to Maryland where out
side breweries must have a tax
paid cap or crown affixed To the
bottles or a tax-paid label on
leans shipped into the State.
They said they got nowhere in
suggesting this.
There are some 10 stockhold-
iers in the brewery, Mr.. Heurich
said. Five-eighths of the stock
is owned by his fathers estate.
by his mother and the three
children-Mr. Heurich, Mrs.
Eckles and Mrs. Eugene L. Har-
riSon. whose husband is a re-
tired Army brigadier general.
New Labels Tried
Asked If the brewery was losing
money, Mr.. Heurich said that
lit was not making what it
should" and that had a major
bearing on the decision not to
construct another plant.
Since the war when men in
uniform we're a big market and
all breweries were making
money the Heurich brewery has
tried to continue in a profitable
position with changes in the
beer and new labels supported
by advertising campaigns. In
l947 odd Georgetown beer" ap-
peared and was promoted in
stead of the historic Senate"

beer my father used to make. "
was introduced. 1t was well re-
ceived but 1t did not solve the
problem of undermining q brew
cry about to be taken over by
the Government or building a
new one.
! Another factor in the mortali-
/ ty of brewerieS is the fact that in
spite OF modern refrigeration,
beer in cans and big advertising
campaigns. the per capita con-
sumption of beer in the United
States has been falling of. Be-
/ fore prohibition it was as high
as % gallons per capita. The
post-repeal peak was in 1945
when it was 1877. Today 1t is
about Is. Production in 1947 was
81 million barrels. Last year
/ 1855 it was 85.4 million barrels.
