SKATES AND SPEED
made simple childish games
like tag wonderously exciting.
A fast, agile skater playing
the fox could keep away from
the pack until he finally
tired.
Crack the whip was more
our style. The boy on the
end was whirled across the
ice at terrific speed as the
whip was cracked. If he were
a good skater he would break
off and circle the others in
the spread eagle. If he were
really a good skater he would
break away and do an eccen-
trio circle "a spread eagle
with his back to it.
But the great game was
hockey. We puckered up at
every opportunity, whenever
we could get 10 kids to choose
sides. If we didn't have 10
we called it shinney.
We thought we were pretty
good. I remember one thrill
ing moment when as center
I took the puck through two
guards and shot it into the
net just above the goalie'S
stick.
The next winter, several of
the boys who had graduated
from high school in June
chose Dartmouth because
they had hockey teams that
could beat Harvard.
On factors of such i'm
portance were educational
choices made in the carefree
days before World War I.

Gle, Attorney General Fred
erick T. Gray said yester-
day.
The question had been
raised by Delegate Francis
B. Gouldman of Freder-

Mr.. Gouldman cited a
section of the State Code
prohibiting certain family
intermarriages.
Mr.. Gray said the section
prohibits the marriage be-
tween a woman and her
uncle (but) there is no
prohibition which would
extend to her great uncle.
I am therefore of the opin-
ion that a woman may law
fully marry her mothers

ed by Washington area local
governments.
Frank Wolfsheimer, vice
president of the Hechinger Co.,
said that he had also asked the
conference to help persuade
area, Jurisdictions to observe
reciprocity in home repair reg
ulations.
IF a contractor is going to
be required to get a separate
license and bond in each of the
areas seven local governmental
Jurisdictions, it is going to be
a serious burden" Mr.. Wolf
Sheimer said.
License Plus Bond
Cost of a contractors license
under the Districts regulations
is $40. And the charge fol
obtaining the required $4,000
bond is estimated at $50.
Mr.. WolfSheimer, a member
of the board of the D. c. So
ciety of Professional Engineers
said that this board also favors
conformity in home repair reg.
ulationS with reciprocity provi-
Sions.
1--WE think the Districts home
repair regulations are good anc
have long been needed" hi
said, "but if the various juris.
dictions adopt different types
of regulations the unscrupulou.
operators will gravitate to thu
area where the rules are
weakest"
He said that Falls Church
has adopted regulations similar
to those in the District and that
other area local governments
are now considering adopting
home repair regulations.
Samuel HumeS, executive
secretary of the Washington
Metropolitan Regional Confer
ence, said the conferences Ad-
ministrative Officers Advisory
Committee will consider Mr.

The
Rambler
Recalls Old
Fashioned Winter
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The winter of 1928 was
a joyous one. AS I remember
1t, the red ball was up for 80
days at Delaware Park Lake.
Mother had her misgivings
about our skating there. We
might fall through the ice.
But when she saw the team
of Percherons-they weighed
well over a ton-that were
pulling the snow shovel
across the surface, she real
lied that everything was all
right.
What a winter for fun! We
walked to the lake, less than
2 miles from our home,
every day after school. On
Saturdays we were there be-
fore 10 with a dime in our
pocket for two hot dogs and
a nickel for hot chocolate.
There was a man who had
a pair of skates with curved
blades. He was a European
and his skates were from
Holland. They had wooden
platforms above the blades
and were fastened to his
shoes with straps.
He would pick a spot right
in front of the casino. That
was the elegant name for the
stone structure where we
changed our shoes and pur-
chased our hot dogs.
This man, wearing only a
wool scarf in addition to his
suit, would spin around on
less than a barrel head, like
a whirling dervish. Once in a
while he would cut a figure
8. His were the only pair of
figure skates on the ice and
we figured him not only for
a show off, but a sissy.
Our idea of skates was the
straight blade, either the
hockey skate or the racing
skates with their long knife
like blade in tubular frames.
We had showoffs who were
not sissies. They would make
a run with their racing
skates and Jump over four or
five barrels.

He was slightly wounded with
shrapnel when a shell exploded
inside a bathroom. Mr.. Torrey
had been standing in the hall
outside. The ceiling of the
private home caved in and the
treasurer, his head bloody. re-
calls he looked UP and saw the
sky.
The attack centered on a
group of Adventist mission
buildings located on the out
skirts of Elisabethville. Two
homes were demolished and
the church workers rode out
the shooting in one room of an
administration building, hud-
died together.

SHOES WITH SKATES at

SHOES WITH SKATES at
tached were just coming in.
Before that we had the
Barney & Berry skates with
a lever that frightened clamps
on the SoleS and heels of your
shoes. They were made in
Torrington, Conn. Those
clamps and the lever must
have been a very profitable
invention. In my fathers day
a boy would attach his skates
to his regular shoes with
screws, then unscrew them
when he had finished skat-
ing. @
Shoes with skates attached
shoes for skating only -
added considerably to the
cost. They came to about
$3.50.
Come to think of it, the
Barney g. Berry catalog
listed skates with curved
blades even back in the days
of the Champion skates. But
none of us boys bought them.
They were not for the Great
Lakes country. They were for
the effete East.
Everybody skated. High
school girls, if they were to
get the approval of the boys,
had to make a little speed.
They were not the same girls
we met at Miss Curtin's and
Mr.. Van Arnem's dancing
classes. We considered the
latter hothouse flowers.
One boy, who was a beauti-
full skater, had a pair of shoe
hockey skates that I envied.
If I only had a pair of skates
like that, I could skate as he
did. I finally got them. I
couldn't.

VINO became vice chairman
today. The boards three other
Democrats voted against Mr..
Moss.
The election followed a series
of statements, mostly by other
Democrats on the board who
bitterly attacked Mrs. Wilkins
for detection from their ranks.
Outlines Goals
Mrs. Wilkins replied that her
action was "in the best interest
of Fairfax County and the dis
trict which I represent without
regard to party politics.
In a statement following his
election as chairman, Mr.. Moss
pledged to fight splitting up of
the county, work for an active
civil defense program and ex-
tend county services.
Selection of Mr.. Moss was the
result of an agreement made
two years ago between the
G. o. P. members and Mrs.
wilkins.
Under the agreement, the
Republicans supported Mrs.
Wilkins as chairman for the
first two years of their four
year terms and Mrs. Wilkins
agreed to vote for a Repub-
lican in the remaining two
years. During the past two
years Mrs. Wilkins has been
chairman.
Deadlock Broken
The decision to elect Mr..
Moss came yesterday during a.
caucus between Mrs. Wilkins
and the Republicans. A dead
lock between Mr.. Moss and
Supervisor R. Claiborne Leigh
was broken, and it was agreed
that Mr.. Leigh would serve as
chairman next year. Vice chair
man next year is to be the
third Republican, Robert C.I
Gotten.
The three Republicans until
yesterday had been unable TO
agree who should succeed Mrs.
Wilkins and thus become the
first Republican to head the
board.
Mrs. Wilkins told the board
today that election of the
chairman by a bipartisan CO.
alition was nothing new, since
the late Joseph H. Freehill
was so elected in 1856.
But other Democrats on the
board criticized her for what
they called violation Of party
loyalty.
Attacked by Keith
Supervisor James Keith, a
Democrat who was also nomi-
mated for the chairmanship
today, said Mrs. Wilkins "owes
her election (as supervisory to
the Democratic Party" Party
loyalty, he said, demanded that
she support a Democrat in Or
ganizing the Board.
Supervisor Stuart T. DeBell,
a former Democratic chairman,
agreed, adding that II see no
reason at all why a minority

Bottle Clubs
Face Inquiry
Montgomery Set
To Check Legality

Montgomery County's in
creasing number of bottle clubs
will be the subject of close legal
scrutiny by County Attorney
Alfred H. Carter, as directed
yesterday by the County Coun-
Gil.
President David L. Cahoon,
who authorized the investiga-
ton, said it was prompted by
inquiries from restaurant own
ers as well as by reports from
police and States Attorney
Leonard T. Hardy, who sug-
gested that perhaps bottle clubs
were being carried too far"
The discussion of Montgom-
ery'S elbow bending industry
came just SO hours after a
boomingNew Years eve cele-
bration in the county,. where
some private clubs advertised
parties at $3.50 per person
open to all comers.
No Ban on Bottles
The recently flourishing bot
tie clubs started about two
years ago as the result of Mont
gomery'S strict liquor laws,
which prohibit public consump-
tion of hard liquor except in
three restaurants which have
been licensed for about 80
years.
However there is no ban on
a patron bringing his own
bottle of liquor to a restaurant
which does not have a license
for wine or beer consumption.
Only wine and beer may be
onSumed in restaurants
licensed for those beverages.
Several far-Seelng restaurant
proprieters have thought up
various added attractions, such
as a combination of hors
d'oeuvreS at 81 but "free"
drinks. Another offering is that
walters may dash down the
block to purchase bottles at
a nearby county-operated
liquor dispensary, for consump-
tion at the restaurant.
Mr.. Cahoon said the study
by Mr.. Carter probably will
result in a recommendation
that the Maryland General
Assembly overhaul Montgom-
ery's liquor laws during its
1868 session.
Bond Sale Reported
cat present, it seems that
the consumption of alcohol is
available in public places COM
pletely unregulated," Mr.. Ca
hoon commented! 1--WE want
to see whether some of these
places are violating our exist
ing laws"
In other business, the council
announced the sale of $13.1
million in bonds on January 16
The bond issue includes sos
million for schools, SO million
for roads, $500,OO0 for parking
lots in Bethesda and $15O,OOO

Since then, Mr.. Meany esti-
