in from the right-has been the
subject of heated discussion from
time to time at the Chamber meet
ings and proper signs there was
one of the projects named by the
new president, Wilbur M. Num-
ford, as his planned program for
the year.
Both Bedford and Market Streets
which cross at the Circle, are state
highways
Mr.. McWilliams talked on pro-
posed highway construction that
is of interest to Georgetown, say
ing that the two projects already
authorized are the widening, re-
surfacing and otherwise improv-
ing East Market Street, which be-
comes Route 18 to Lewes, from the
/ Cirle to Vests Service Station at
cost of $317 900, and the improve
ment of the Georgetown-Brid
Road from Route 113 to the Cokes-
bury Church, at a cost of $780,
900.
The engineer brought up the
proposed Georgetown bypass, and
said that while this is still in the
planning stage, the bypass would
probably be constructed north of
the town.
Mr.. McWilliams said that by
pass frequently brings up the con-
troversial subject of limited or
controlled access. He set forth
that limited access results in
greater efficiency and traffic safe
ty and does not necessarily hurt
business in a town since it draws
off the through traffic and so pro-
vides more room for local shop
pers.
In this connection, Mr.. McWil-
liams mentioned the Dover bypass
and said that it didn't serve its
purpose.
"As a result, people are trying
to get bypass to bypass the by
pass" he remarked.

NON-PLAYING MUSICIANS

NEW YORK (P)-Four musicians

"Once More, With Feeling" aren't
seen or heard by the audience.
The comedy concerns renown-
ed orchestra conductor enacted by
Joseph Cotton, and to help the mood
of the show, brief excerpts of SYM
phony are played at the start and

The music is recorded on tape,

TICKET INVESTIGATION

NEW YORK (P)-An attempt to
ease some of the jam over buying
tickets for Broadway shows has
been started by Actors Equity, the
union of performers.
EQuity's target is the block of
choice seats for each performance
which are allotted to members of
the production staff and cast. Some
of the tickets turn up in the hands
of scalpers.
Equity said it intends to ascer-
tain the precise way in which the
locations are handled and what le-
gal infractions may be involved.

700 Attend

1lSIofy repeated AltSeIf
last Saturday when several.
hundred members of church
and civic groups stormed a
public hearing at Wheaton
High School to protest any
liberalization of county
liquor laws.
The scene was different, but
the arguments were essentially
the same, as those at a 1856
hearing on the same subject at
Montgomery Blair High School.
AT that time, the net result was
no change in the 25-year-old
liquor statutes.
Some 700 persons were on
hand this time, approximately
80 percent of them to voice their
opposition to. the latest crop of
proposals to change the veneer
able law.
Forty speakers stated their
views in a three-hour session be-
fore the county's legislative
delegation, headed by Chairman
Blair Lee III.
Restaurant owners, tavern
keepers, and spokesman for fra
ternal and veterans organiza-
tons explained and defended
their proposals for making
pouring licenses available to
their groups.
But most of the speakers ex-
pressed their strong approval
either of the status quo or of
changes which would restrict
even further the number of
pouring licenses in the county.
Pouring licenses permit the
serving of liquor by the drink.
They exist now only at Is coun-
try clubs and three fashionable
restaurants, while 1872 other
restaurants and taverns are
restricted to serving beer and
light wines.
First speaker of the day was
Del. Alger Y. Barbee, who intro
duced the only liquor bill sub
mitted to the House of Dele
gates to date.
The bill would grant pour
ing licenses to some half-dozen
fraternal and veterans clubs in
Silver Spring. Another provi.
sion would close a loophole in
current laws by specifically
banning bottle club operations.
Barbee argued that his bill
"does not liberalize, but controls
and regulates" by bringing the
fraternal and veterans groups
under direct jurisdiction of the
County Board of License Com
missioners.
William F. Brannan, jr., at.
torney for the groups, said the
veterans and fraternal organ
izations support Barbee's bill.
The organizations, he said,
"have proved to be reputable
and worthy of this privilege"
Leonard S. Blondes, repre-
senting the County Restaurant
Association, recommended legis-
lation to allow pouring licenses
for some 20 to Is establish
ments whose gross sales would
be at least 60 percent in food.
Louis Grossman, president of
the County Licensed Beverage
Association, vigorously attacked
what he called the complete
discrimination" of present laws.
The Associations proposed bill
would give liquor licenses to a
large number of reputable"
taverns and restaurants, as we'll
as to hotels and veterans and
fraternal clubs.
In the absence OF such legis-
lation, Grossman said, the Asso-
citation would welcome a coun.
tyJwide referendum on the
whole subject of liquor laws.
Applause and other forms of
demonstration were banned by
the hearing rules announced by
Lee at the outset. However, one
spontaneous burst of applause
greeted a suggestion by Christ
Congregational Church of Sill
yer Spring that all present
pouring licenses be withdrawn.
