DRINKING AT DANCES.
METHODIST SYNOD VIEWS. (Per Press Association.) MARTON, November 18. The alleged widespread practice of drinking at dances and in motor-cars, often by young girls, was discussed by the Wanganui - Taranaki Methodist Synod. The following resolution was carried: “That, with a view to safeguarding the moral well-being of young people attending dances in public halls, and checking the drunken rowdyism so often associated with such dances, Parliament be urged to extend the powers of the police to enable them to search vehicles in the vicinity of dance halls if suspected of containing intoxicating liquor, whether private cars, taxis, ’buses or any other vehicles.”
