Bottle Clubs
Relaxation
OF Liquor
Laws Backed

The Montgomery County
Civic Federation M o n d ay
night joined five County
Council members in favoring
relaxation of the county's
30-year-old liquor control
system.
After an hour-and-a-half of
heated debate, during which
time the resolution was amend
ed, sections of it deleted and
then re-amended, the Fedora
ton passed the original motion
by a vote of 22-15.
The resolution, which notes
there is an inequity in permit
ting adults to be served liquor
in a very few restaurants, in
country clubs, service clubs,
and in bottle clubs" was pass
ed listing certain conditions for
issuance of licenses.
They include that drinks be
served only to patrons seated
at a table; that the drinks are
served as part of a meal, and
that the cost from the sales of
alcoholic beverages in the estab-
lishment is the minor portion
of the gross income.
Other conditions are that en-
fOrcement policies place respon.
sibility upon the operator for
care in dispensing alcohol by
providing for suspension or
voiding of the license in sales
to minors, or in Incidents of
drunkenness in the immediate
vicinity of the establishment.
They also requested that the
licensing authority be empower
ed to deny a license for a new
restaurant where the issuance
would tend to create a concen-
tration of liquor-serving places
in an area.
A motion for an amendment
to be included in the resolution
calling for referendum in the
case of any relaxing in the sys-
tenn of issuing licenses was
voted down.

3-Day Rule

The Maryland Court rule

County Councilman Thomas
M. Wilson this week proposed
the county look into the posi-
bility of acquiring a site for a
municipality supported audito-
rum which could accommodate
everything from a concert to a

DIR. Wilson, who said later a
civic auditorium here was
among his campaign promises
last year, urged its construction
as a public service" to county
residents for whom "the trip
from Rockville to Constitution
Hall now is a major undertake
ing"
He conceded that the county
would probably lose money" on
the structure, but urged its
early construction by the coun-
ty, rather than waiting for a
private group, the Montgomery

one up.
Although the Arts Center
group was given seven-acre
site in North Bethesda for its
project last year, Wilson said
it still has Limited funds" for
the building. He noted the Arts

Hacken Says

Draft Laws
BY ELY Bradley
Sentinel Reporter

Legislative language to
outlaw or at least tighten
controls on Montgomery
County's flourishing "bottle
clubs" may be written into
the forthcoming report of

sion on Alcoholic Beverages.
Declaring that members of
his group have agreed to draft
legislation on certain critical
or key areas" they are consider
ing in the county's 30-year-old
liquor laws, commission chair
man Robert Hacken said the
legislative proposals will be
made a part of its report.
"We're hoping that whatever
we do come up with winds up
as a bill for consideration in the
legislature" he explained, add
ing that one of the best ways to
make certain there is mo mis-
understanding of our recOmmen.
dations" is to include in the re.
port exact legislative language.
"Some of us are convinced
that if we simply write a re-
port, no matter how well we
write it we may have some con-
fusion in the legislature"
Three lawyers are members
of the commissioning. Gregg
Everngam, representing the
Chamber of Commerce; Donald
K. Staley Of the Board of Lii
cense Commissioners, and Sted-
man Prescott, jr., representing
the Montgomery County Bar
Association.

porting that public sentiment

Street now.
Who is prepared to finance
civil defense games beside the
federal government? And of
what practical use is a bombed
out building?
Pointing to the cost Of razing
the expens ively-constructed,
wrecked buildings, Kimmel said
he had tried for months to get
some word from the federal
government on whether it was
going to bear the cost.
But ! can't get any answer
from them" he said. I've writ
ten and called 'em up and called
'em down but i can't get any
definite word" he declared.
Meanwhile a spokesman for
Region II headquarters, whose
civil defense jurisdiction Is
Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Delaware, Vir-
ginia and the District of Column
bia, expressed satisfaction with
the new under one roof"
quarters occupied by more than
rs persons.
The move was made, he ex-
planned to save money. The
government already owned the
Nike site and was paying Kim
mel almost $4,000 a year in
rental for the old site.

TObacco's
Dangers to
Be Taught
BY Vicki Van Pelt
Sentinel Reporter

The county School Board this
week banned all student smok.
ing in public schools and voted
to eliminate all existing smok-
ing areas.
Only one school in the county
will be unaffected by the ruling.
Springbrook High in Silver
Spring eliminated its smoking
area last December after a vote
by the student body. All other
secondary schools in the county
have smoking areas.
The action, effective at
once, followed two motions by
majority boardmember Everett
H. Woodward, a non-smoker,
who urged the board: "a To
prohibit the use of any form
of tobacco by students on school
premises during school hours"
and 90 that ANY conveniences
for smoking now in effect in
the public school system be
eliminated"
Woodward, who championed
his no smoking cause at an
earlier meeting, and met only
with smiles of approval from
fellow boardmembers in his
first attempt to push through a
resolution, cited excerpts from
public school laws Of Maryland,
which states that pupils are
prohibited from using tobacco
in any form on the school
premises during the school
hours"
Since the laws are clearly de-
fined on smoking in schools,
boafdmembers, rather than be
placed in a compromising posi-
ton, reiterated their support
for the law which minority
boardmember Mrs. Lucy Kicker
calls "a good law but an unen-
forceable one" Woodward
added to his plea, "in no case
do we single out any one law
and argue its feasibility on the
basis of whether il is enforce
able In the schools. In that
case we just shouldn't have any
laws because we might en-
counter difficulties in upholdlng
them"
With some misgivlngs DR.. c.
Taylor Whittier, School Super
intendent, told the board prior
to the vote, I'VE must pass the
resolution unless we first
change the law" Whittier, also
non-smoker, noted he was in
favor of a ban on smoking, but
he concurred with Mrs. Kicker,
In that "a means must be
reached to recognize that a law
will not change the habits of
some" and strict disciplinary
measures must go hand in
hand with the smoking ban.
The action by the school
board will permit smoother and
more effective augmentation
OF the no.smoking campaign
proposed by the Montgomery
County Smoking Education
Committee in the school system,
which is the first countrywide
effort Of its type in the United
States.
Designed for students in
grades seven through II, the
program is sponsored by seven
organizations, including the
