SUNDAY LIQUOR SALE
TEST CASE DISMISSED
Judge Rules No Martinsville Or
dinance Forbids Sabbath
Beer or Wine Vending.
By the Associated Press.
MARTINSVILLE, Va„ March 15
Trial Justice M. H. MacBryde, jr., of
Henry County today dismissed a Mar
tinsville city warrant charging Lafe
Prillaman with violation of the State
Liquor Board's ban on Sunday sale of
wine and beer. It was a test case.
Justice MacBryde ruled that no
Martinsville ordinance forbade the sale
of the light alcoholic beverages there
on the Sabbath.
The burden of proving that such
sales do not violate the State’s old
"blue law” or local ordinances has
been placed upon the separate com
munities by the Virginia Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board.
To this end, it was understood here
this morning, Commonwealth’s Attor
ney W. R. Broaddus. jr.. will bring a
similar case under a Henry County
warrant tomorrow.

sparkle of Spring, at its best. You'll see fresh
patterns and soft shades that’ll make your

think in terms of expensive custom-tailoring.
And you’ll come face to face with a price tag

plant in Rochester. This means that no outside
maker is paid a profit. We save money— and
so do you! So come come in, and get in tune
with Spring. The tariff, in spite of generally
