Wilson a "probationary" liquor license for six months. At its last meeting in June, the council denied a license to William Sinaiko, operator of the bar in the Wilson hotel when it placed three other E. Wilson st. bars on probation.

Maurice Pasch, counsel for Sinaiko, told the council in a plea for the license. "By your action (denying the license previously) you have singled us out, and we haven't had a chance to show we want to cooperate, as the other three bars have," Pasch declared. The 400 Bar has been closed since July 1, when its previous license was denied.

Town Rule led the new all-female administration plans to "fix up" the cemetery, clean ditches, and pave the town's streets to keep the dust down. "Why, dust is so thick you can't raise your windows or open your doors," Mrs. Montgomery said. The "cleanup ladies" knew little about politics when the elections were coming up last spring.

But they figured they could run the town as they run their homes and make some badly-needed improvements. Running on a campaign "cleanup" slogan, they were swept into office to the chagrin and surprise of their male opponents. New Call Heard for Clergy Probe Col.
