Solution On This Page Country Clubs In Liquor Issue HARRISBURG, Seut. 10 M) The golfer who tarries at the nineteenth hole is starting to ponder about politics.

Come September 12 he may have to decide in many localities whether he wants or doesn't want a drink at the club bar after a round. A number of country clubs are located in townships that will vote in the Pennsylvania primaries on the local option issue whether that territory is to be dry or wet provided the supreme court decides the question may be submitted. The court will hold a hearing on a test case tomorrow in Philadelphia. With an eye on their revenue producing licenses, some country clubs have asked their membership help defeat the question. The Colonial Club on the outskirts of Harrisburg, Lower Paxton township, would lose $5,000 a year, its officials say, if the district goes dry.
