NOT ENOUGH BEER.
SUFFOLK VILLAGES RUN DRY. N , LONDON. With a record number of Avorlters gathering in the harvest, there is not enough beer to go round in Suffolk. Village inns are closing down on as many as five evenings a week. On a .2-mile stretch of road passing through several villages in the heart of the country I found that only one landlord out of a dozen questioned had drinks to sell, writes a “Daily Herald” correspondent. “And I have only mild beer,” he said. “As soon as the news got round that my inn was open, farm workers and soldiers for miles around came on their bicycles. “I had to ration them all to a pint each, and they had to share tankards because there was not enough to go round.” In the large towns the position is little better. Many Ipswich publichouses are closing down night after night; others open only for short spells. “Short drinks” and bottled beer are usually unobtainable. The only harvest workers who do not go thirsty are those with permits to breW their own beer.
