This is the estimate of James
F. Erwin, director of the Coun-
tvs Department of Liquor Con-
troll for the past dozen years.
Every drop of the $12 million
in alcoholic beverages sold in
the county la st year went
through his office.
Erwin figures his department
would do an additional S12
million a year if present laws
were made comparable to those
in the District. This would keep
the liquor buyers in the county
and boost the turnover of
money here rather than max.
ing hooch act as catalyst for
the Districts economy.
The loss of this estimated SD
million to the glitter of the
District bars and beaneries rep
resents a loss of S1.2 million
annually in net profits, all of
which would go into the county
treasury to help hold down the
tax spiral.
The revenue loss to the
county on these District
bound dollars is equivalent to
the revenue produced by
eight cents of the current
county tax rate.
Oddities in the county's alco-
hone beverage Rvs as strong
today as ever despite numerous
unsuccessful assaults over the
past three decades - shape up
as one Of the hottest county
issues facing the 1868 Legisla-
ture.
Battle lines began taking
shape shortly after the Nov. 6
General Election.
On one side will be the Mont
gomery County Licensed Bev-
erage Association and the Ho-
tel Restaurant Owners Associa-
ton and some businessmen. On
the other will be church leaders
and other citizens opposed to
tipping.
The MCLBA and the HROA
apparently will get some sup
port among Legislators in
their effort TO get the states
liquor laws liberaIized. Some
key Republicans, both on
county and state level, have
kindly on a lOOsening of the
laws. Others are known TO be
opposed.
Church and lay leaders not
only don't want the laws loos-
ened, they would like to see the
existing statutes pulled a little
tighter. Ironically, they m a y
find themselves working with
District liquor interests who
have developed penchant for
the county money which flows
into District package stores,
restaurants and bars.
County Council members
have indicated they will take a
hard look at local laws with the
indication that if any move
comes it will be precipitated by
the pocketbook pains of lost
revenue.
Council President John A..
Floyd emphasized recently that
the Councils interest in the law
docs not necessarily mean that
we are going to support a

This last election lCdS really
one for the record books IN
Montgomery County. And
Miss DGt0son's list aUiH be
read 1oitb great interest By a
large number of people.
The experts are already por-
ing over the list trying to fig
ure out before the next election
what makes the voter tick. It's
not an easy task.
We've taken a quick look at
the list and the thing that
battles us, right off the bat, is
why i'm the world there seem
ed to he so little interest or
concern in the school board
race.
To MS, this tcds the crucial
one. Public education is, it
seems to as, Just about the
most important governmental
function. But the Uoters APP
pdrently didn't seem to think
so.
According to the list, total
of 99,487 votes were cast in the
9Th District Congressional race.
That's an okay voter turnout
for an off-year election and the
voters needn't be ashamed of
that. Similarly, the total voter
turnout in the gubernatorial,
United States Senator, and
Congressman-at-Large race S
were about $1,000 each and the
votes for State Comptroller and
State Attorney General we're
about $4,000 and $4,000, respec-
lively. They're okay, too.
But what happens when
You get down to the school
board race which was highly
controversial and the outcome
extremely important?
Total UOtes cast for the tUo
first district school board
candidates tCds only 69,S07.
The total in the third district
school board race 1UdS only
SO more Uotes. And in the
school board dt.Ior0e race it
goes up to only 71482.
Why should the all-important
school board race attract about
one-third fewer votes than the
gubernatorial race?
One possible Interpretation
of this is that the four win
ners don't have quite the
Overwhelming mandate" that
their supporters have been
proclaiming for them as a re-
suit of the election.

NEW YORK.-General Mo-

April. May and June, Satur-

GIN, and probably no other
business concern, ever made 1t

The No. ! automaker and

poration set eight sales and
earnings records in the second
quarter. Net earnings for the
quarter were $464 million.
Riding the crest of an I'M
precedented auto making boom,
the worlds largest industrial
corporation hung UP new marks
in four quarterly and four half
year categories: dollar sales,
earnings, United States factory
(unit) sales and worldwide
factory sales.
It's performance surpassed
lustrous showings announced
last week by the other two of
the Big Three automakers, Ford

In a laconic statement, Board
Chairman Frederic G. Bonner
and President John F. Gordon
commented:
1.-THE excellent GIN results
). reflected a continued high
level of demand for both auto
motive and non automotive
products.
This demand resulted from
customer preference for the

from the new highs being
