• U.S. Internal Revenue agents seized four coin-operated gaming machines from two businesses in Wicomico County. The machines, often called consoles, give a series of flashing lights when a coin is inserted and and allow varying odds when more coins are inserted. Players can win free games. The revenue officers said federal law requires an annual $250 tax stamp for each machine. Two of the machines were taken from the J & H Drive-In near Pittsville; the other two were seized from the Wagon Wheel night club in north Salisbury.
