Woodwork-WoII Sequence

Which do you paint first,
the walls or the woodwork ?
Not all experts agree on
the sequence, but common
sense suggests that you start
with the woodwork If you
are using latex paint on the
walls.
The reason is simple: it is
easier to remove wet splat-
ters or misses of latex from
a dried enamel Of the type

The sale Of hard liquor is lucrative
business not only because of the profits
from the liquor itself, but because of the
added patronage represented by certain indi
viduals who wouldn't think for moment of
going to a restaurant that doesn't offer an
alcoholic appetizer To limit the profits there
from to such small number of restaurants
creating virtual monopoly = is nothing
short of gross injustice.
We don't suggest that Montgomery
County be turned into a wide open, hard
drinking area, and we certainly don't favor
honky-tonks, but we do think there are many
high-class, well eemed establishments
where liquor could be served in an at
mosphere of dignity and without harning the
county's reputation for responsibility
To deny them the opportunity of sharing
in the liquor profits while allowing others
to do so, and to restrict Montgomery County
residents to such a narrow choice of dine
and-drink restaurants amount to rank dis
elimination.
One way or the other, the law should be
changed If public drinking is to be frowned
upon, throw it out altogether. If it is con-
sidered acceptable, then extend the privilege
of selling drinks to all who can qualify under
rigid control that would rule out the element
of outright bar-rooms, "joints" or "dives"

H. B. 627, by Lee and Wal
ker-would create a Montgom-
cry County Land Reserve
Agency when activated by
County Council with power
to buy, hold, and later sell land
that will be needed by public
agencies such as the State
Road Commission. With any
kind of genuine support from
the Council, this outfit could
be a real money-saver over the
years.
In the 1868 session of the
legislature serious thought
should be given to expending
its power to include the pur-
chase Ct farmland at low
prices for resale to private de-
velopers for planned commu-
mites, thus letting the county
cash in on the unearned incre-
ment. This may sound like
putting the county into the
real estate business, but think
1t over, you taxpayers.
Since 1t Is abundantIy clear
that the teachers salary bill
sponsored by the Maryland
State Teachers Association is
not going to go anywhere this
year, 1t becomes all the more
important to improve the
James Committees package of
bills that are designed to de-
liver general state aid to the
counties.
The MSTA salary bill would
have cost about S13 million on
its own and it would have had
to have been tied in with one
portion of the James jackage
(the welfare bill that is es-
sential to the financial health
of Baltimore City. In fact,
without the welfare bill the
city's current budget would
have become unbalanced.
So the overall cost of the
two (MSTA and welfare) add
ed up to over S15.5 million
or more than Sc million in ex-
cess Of the revenue that could
be expected from the Cover
nor's sales tax proposals. This
was the point where every
body lost interest.
/ have been in charge of a
Ways and Means subcommit-
tee that has re-worked the
James bills from the ground
up. Since 1 am running out of
space, l will have to 90 into
the details in a later column.

In turning down lastminute request
for legislation to liberalize Montgomery
County's hard-liquor laws, the county's leg
islative delegation seems fully justified in its
contention that the proposal came too late
in the current Assembly session to merit con-
sideration Such a proposal, certain to be
somewhat controversial, should have been
made in ample time to give everyone con-
cerned chance to express their views and,
we agree, is no subject for hasty action.
Nevertheless, in the interest of complete
equity, we hope the delegation and other
county officials will take a close look at the
countys ridiculous liquor law in the near
future with view to effecting revisions that
would make some sense
In a modern-day society that accepts the
hardliquor oc'-tail as just as much pert of
a meal as the fruit cocktail or other tyne
of appetizer - it is ludicrous that mere
three county restaurants should have the
sacred privilege of serving mixed drinks be-
cause of an arbitrary formula that gave them
that right to the exclusion of all others some
years ago.
And it is all the more ludicrous when
IA additional establishments are permitted to
serve UP the hard stuff because they qualify
as bona fide country clubs particularly in
view of the fact that some of them are no
more private or restricted than Duffy's
Tavern
