Often the judges tell these %
local citizens about the fine
workings of the States Attor-
ney's office, the Clerk of the
Courts office, and the outstand-
ing Police Department.
Another arm of the Circuit
Court is the Sheriff's office.
And for some reason or another
not many people know the func-
ton of Sheriff Luke Bennett
and his Deputies and office
staff.
We dropped by to see Luke
Bennett of Takoma Park. He is
a big man with white hair and
an air that reminds one of a
Sheriff. 1t wasn't too difficult
to get him to tell us about his
duties. He Is quite aware of the
importance of his office and will
not hesitate to express his views
In colorful language.
First of ALL" he said, "the
Sheriff's office is created by the
Constitution of the State of
Maryland and provides for an
elective term of four years"
He went on to give us the fol-
lowing duties and functions:
THE Sheriffs office is charg.
ed by law with the responsible
ity of serving civil summonses,
including regular jury sum.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1961-11-02

monses and special talesmen,
subpoenas, distraints, replevins,
judicials, attachments, writs and
orders of the Circuit Court and
the three Peoples Courts of the
County. In addition to the serv-
ing of legal processes, the Sher-
ifs office has the responsible
ity of transporting prisoners to
and from the County Jail to
both the Circuit Court and
Peoples Courts and their sub
sequent transfer, when so COM
mitted by the Court, to the sew
eral penal and mental institu-
tons in the State"
"At present, the Peoples
Court sessions involving crimi.
nal and traffic offenses are held
three days each week at Rock
vile, three days each week at
Silver Spring, two days (nor.
mally three days. each week at
Bethesda and one day each week
at Takoma Park. At least two
deputies are required to attend
each Peoples Court session for
the purpose of providing Gus
tody of defendants. The Sher-
Tiff and/or his deputies are re.
quired to be in attendance dur.
ing the criminal terms of the
Circuit Court.
During the criminal terms,
there are frequently four Cir
cult Courts operating each day
simultaneously. These sessions
of Court, when the Court is
hearing criminal matters, re.
quire the services of at least
two deputies in each Court and
usually one deputy requested to
be in attendance on civil cases.
1t is anticipated that the already
heavy work load of the Sher-
ifs office in this connection
will be further aggravated with
the expected appointment, in the
near future, of a fourth Peoples
Court Judge and the Statutory
provision for the election Of a
fifth Circuit Court Judge, which
will become effective during the
next fiscal year.
'The Sheriffs office serves
all civil summonses issued by
the Circuit Court and the Peo-
pies Court of the County, as
well as all summonses sent to
it from any and all Counties in
the State and Baltimore City.
The service of a summons, in
many instances, particularly a
debt summons, is not a simple
matter. First of all, the defend.

ess. Thus, a simple debt sum.
mons may require many hours
of effort and many miles of
driving by personnel of the
Sheriff's office to obtain serv.
ice. A similar situation exists to
a large degree involving service
of other processes handled by
the Sheriff's office, especially
writs of fieri facias in attempt
ing to seek out assets in the
County belonging to judgment

be made to satisfy a judgment
granted to the plaintiff by the
Court.

Element between the plaintiff
and defendant or landlord and
tenant. The preparation for
such sales, in most instances, is
very time consuming and re-
quires considerable physical eff
fort on the part of the deputies
assigned and also the office cler-
ical staff.
1T has been found from ex-
perience, since the new Deten-
ton Building outside Rockville
has been in operation, that an
additional burden has been plac-
ed on the Sheriff's office, par
ticularly from the standpoint of
man power required to trans
port prisoners in an expeditions
manner back and forth to the
several Courts. The opening of
the new facility has also made it
mandatory that one deputy be
assigned practically on a full
time basis to the temporary
quarters in the old Jail at the
Court House for the purpose of
supervising prisoners prior to
being transported to the Deten-
ton Building"

Prime Minister Macmillan said
today on his return from talks

the year that is to come"

frank and fruitful.
Mr.. Macmillan Travelled with
Lord Home, his foreign secre-

talks with Mr.. Kennedy.
Their chartered Comet jet

AT Launches
New Satellite

POINT ARGUELLO, Calf,
Dec. % (AP).-The Air Force
says it launched a satellite yes
terday-but won't disclose any
details.
1t was launched at the Point
Arguello naval missile facility,
adjacent to Vandenberg Air
Force Base.
The Air Force recently has
been exceedingly close-mouthed
about launchings of so-called
sky-spy satellites, designed to
orbit over Russia and detect
missile launchings and photo
graph military bases.
The satellite launched yes
terday is presumed to be a mill
tary spacecraft. The Air Forces
terse announcement said only
that:
"a satellite employing an
Atlas Agena B booster COM
binarion was launched by the
Air Force today at Point Ar
guello.
1T is carrying a number of
classified test components."
Such craft are termed rockets
until they achieve orbit, then
they become satellites. The Air
Force wouldn't elaborate on
whether yesterdays launching
succeeded in reaching orbit,
although it applied the term
satellite"
Satellites of the Midas and
Samos sky-spy series sometimes
are launched from the pad
where yesterdays rocket roared
aloft.
