Wiser Wins
Young Demo
Presidency

Larry Wiser has been elected
president of Montgomery Coun-
ty Young Democrats in an upset
election, defeating Ed Palamapa
who was backed by the clubs
former administration.
Palamara, Rockville lawyer,
had been nominated for the
presidency by the clubs NOM
mating committee and Wiser,
an attorney-economist, had been
nominated from the floor as a
written candidate. The vote was
92.59.
Wiser and his supporters
contested the slate of candi.
dates whose names We're
placed in nomination by the
nominating committee and
printed on the ballot.
Two floor nominees backed
by Wiser for the executive
board and five nominees for
alternates to the executive
board were successful, winning
WRITTEN votes.
Fred Bolineau, supported by
Wiser, edged out the nominal
ing committees candidate for
treasurer, Ronald Mcdonald.
The new officers are: first
vice president, Joseph Rodgers;
second vice president, Lyn
Clark; executive secretary,
Doris Solomon; secretary, Pa
tricia McDonough; executive
board-Victor Crawford, John
McAuliffe, Philip Sayre, Eugene
Peters and Norman Rabineau.
Alternates are Jo.Ellen Killoran
and William Miller.
After winning the post, Wiser
named Palamara delegate to the
State Executive Committee and
Walter Hansen as liaison repre-
sentative to all other county
Democratic clubs, a new post.
Wiser in his spirited cam
paign for the office, which in
cluded rounding up many new
members, had been critical of
the leadership's failure to hold
a general membership meeting
of the group since the clubs
similar meeting a year ago.
In a post-election statement
he said "the club should be one
in which any young person can
participate, without regard to
his factional alignment Cor lack
of it, to the full extent of his
interest and ability"
Promising support Of the
Democratic Party organization,
Wiser said "the club-because
of it's broad base of membership
could render active and sub
stantial assistance to the nipple.
mentation of the party's pro
grams"
He added that Young Demo
Gratis should play an active role
in unifying the party by "using
it's strengths Insist that ele
ments of the party stop theil
factional pickering and con
solidate forces for a united
front against the Republican
party.

statutes for these clubs which,
theoretically, "hold" a members
bottle in a special locker until
he calls for it. But neither is
there provision outlawing
them as such.
Some such clubs are open to
any and all. And some even
keep a supply of hooch on hand
to satisfy the customer despite
the illegality of such practices.
Others take a customers order
then send runner" out to the
nearest dispensary to make the
purchase.
"A few years ago, this runner
system was pretty widely used"
Erwin recalls. But they got
tired of all the trouble and
started keeping the stuff in
stock. That's when the police
cracked down." he said.
Now most of the clubs keep
booze on hand for regular Gus
toners. If police trouble should
come, the customer can simply
say the bottle is his and that's
that.
Bottle clubs operate in a legal
void since they are neither pro-
vided for nor outlawed in exist
ing statutes. There is no license
needed to operate, so they are
virtually free of police regula.
ton and inspection.
The latest twist to provide for
the thirsty and demanding pub
lie has been initiated by the
Sirloin Inn, operated by the
sprawling Hot Shoppes, Inc, in
WICdlOIl TldZd.
A card on the tables says
you may have your favOrite
cocktail, highball or cordial
served to you at the SirlOin
Inn merely by asking your
waitress to purchase it for you
at the nearby Montgomery
County dispensary." 1t is only
three doors away.
Mattresses ask to be paid d.
rectly for drinks, putting only
setups on the bill. The Inn also
provides setups for customers
who bring their own liquor, and
offers to rent lockers, where
customers can store bottles, at
S12 a year.
A spokesman said the new
service was initiated because of
customer demand" The Sir
loin Inn turned in a beer and
wine license to start the new
idea.
The tavern, limited by law to
the sale of beer and wine only,
is the great social mixing pot
which often finds the banker be-
side the bum for a beer.
Beer and wine sales In the
county are a $4.3 million re-
tail-whOlesale business, ac-
cOrding to the most recent
figures available from the De-
partment Of Liquor Control.
These sales pump almost
$460,000 into the countys treas
ury each year, about IS per cent
of the county's total annual
profit on the sale of alcoholic
beverages.

There are two types of COM
mercial booze-by-the-belt outlets
in the county; one is the licens-
ed country club intended for
members only. The other is a
healthy sprinkling of so-called
"bottle" clubs of sometimes
questionable legality.
Swollen tongues also can be
given a dose of a lighter medi-
catiOn-beer or wine-in any
one of the 215 taverns which
dispense these lower proof re-
freshments by the drip, drop,
bucket or barrel.
Montgomery CONTAINS like
their drinks, figures show. Solid
figures suggest the 100000 Of
them spend an average equal to
the national average of $50 a
year while some estimates
double this figure.
Finding someone to dispute
either of these figures is easy,
but the disagreement is not
based on cold fact. Last year,
Montgomery Countians spent
almost $12 million for alcoholic
beverages purchased in the
county.
One official close to the
business figures this total rep
resents only about half of the
actual dollars spent for booze.
The other half went to the
District, James #. Erwin, chief
of the county Liquor Control
Department, figures.
Country clubs in the county
got their power to sell liquor
over the bar shortly after the
end Of prohibition in special
state legislation which would
exempt membership golf clubs
or swimming-tennis clubs from
prohibitions.
Since then, shots of "red-eye''
have sold far faster than goli
balls and water wings. And moi
just to members.
A swank country club can
legally set 'em up for anybody
who has the price and the ap
pearance. Few ever ask about
membership and you don't have
to wear golf shoes to fool any
body.
In the language of the statute
country clubs can sell drinks "tc
any customer at the place de
scribed In the license on or of
premises
But the majority of these
clubs don't sell to persons other
than members because they like
to think of themselves as a pri
vate sanctuary for members.
I'VE can sell TO you If we
want to-" one club manager
said, "but opening the place
up to everybody might offend
our members. This club Is
for them and we want 10
keep 1t private"
Most of the people who i'm
bibe in country clubs fall into
the upper income brackets while
bottle" club drinkers tend tC
settle in the middle income field
The bottle" clubs are unique
and relatively new in county
drinking circles. Some operate
on the theory of contributions
while Others either abide by OF
totally ignore the laws.
