Four Districts
Favor Liquor
In Special Vote
Establishment Of Two Pack
age Stores Authorized AT
GruntsvilIe, Oakland

Garrett County as a county re-
affirmed its stand as a dry sub
division but in the special cleo
ton yesterday four of its sixteen
districts voted in favor of the legal
sale of liquor, and made it possible
to establish two liquor stores, one
at Grantsville and the other at
Oakland.
The four districts voting wet in
cluded East Oakland, Grantsville,
AVilton and Johnson. West Oak
land went dry by one vote in the
unofficial returns. The vote here
was sos in favor and 5O6 against.
In Oakland's two districts there
was over 65 percent voting, but in
other parts of the county the vot-
ing was comparatively light with
less than a SO percent turnout.
District 7, East Oakland, had
majority of So votes in favor of
liquor The vote was 318 to 26O. In
Grantsville district No. 3, first pre-
cinct the vote was 302 in favor and
149 against, and dry Jennings,
second precinct of district 3, which
voted 40 to IS, was not enough to
change the picture. The district
totals wore 342 TO 214
In district ID, Crcllin was the
most emphatic against the refer
cndum, voting 81 to 152. However,
the other two precincts favored
its sale. Fourtccn-onc went 284 to
2O4 and precinct 14-3 went 100 to
$50.
Town Is Split
The result of the election, should
the offocial returns uphold the I'M
official, creates a somewhat ridicu-
lous problem within the town of
Oakland. One side of Third street
is dry, the other side wet, since
that street divides seven and four
teen within the business district
of the community
There was possibility that the
absentee ballots might change the
picture Miss Julia Rowan, clerk
to the Board of Supervisors of
Elections, said there were about a
dozen absentee ballots which would
be opened and tabulated on Fri
day afternoon, and that two or
three of them we're for district IA.
The voting made it possible to
establish two liquor dispensarics,
one in Grantsville and one in Oak
land where purchases will be able
to be made for consumption in
homes. Liquor by the drink will be
made available in hotels, restau-
rants and fraternal and veteran
organizations, providing they full
fill necessary requirements.
The overall vote in the county
was 1902 to 2,O56, indicating that
the people as a whole had not
changed since the vote on liquor
in 1856 In that year the total vote
was 2,479 in favor and 4253 against,
showing a majority of LIZA out of
total vote of 1882. Yesterday the
total vote was around 5000 out of
a total registration of 9773, or just

Jaycees Of Silver Spring
TOPush BIoOdDOnatiOns

Members of the Silver Spring
Junior Chamber of Commerce
have voted for an intensive
campaign to increase blood
donations to the American Red
Cross Blood Bank.
The v0te came after Mrs. Ann
Quisenberry of the Red Cross
told members that failure to
keep the Blood Bank up to
quota may force participating
hospitals in the area to resort to
their own means of obtaining
blood for daily needs.
This could mean, she said,
that hospitals will be forced to
charge fee for providing blood
to their patients.
She pointed out that the Sill
yer Spring area is dangerously
near to bankruptcy where the
Blood Bank is concerned.
The Silver Spring area has
donated only Sc pints of blood
since the first of the year. The
region is expected to provide
10000 pints for the yearly quota
and Silver Springs share of that
quota is at least $50 pints.
John c. Willard of the Metro
politan Police Department was
named chairman of the Com
