COCKTAIL PARTIES
Sir,—Your correspondent “I Ask You” may well be deeply concerned about the danger that “lurks in the glass,” more than ever, it would appear, in these days. So many of us are wondering what is to be the future of this fair country and its people, if alcoholic drinking is not checked. There is an outcry against the heroin drug, but what the enticing cocktail can do is deadly, too. Why don’t our' public men of honourable organisations face this, not only for the sake of our own young people, but for the sake of those, coming to our country? Then, too, is there not something very sinister in the talk of hour-lengthening of sales for the sake of “comfortable drinking.” .It has been said that alcohol put into a car can take it over a mountain; but, put into a man, it can lead him to perdition.—Yours, etc., a a MARIE. August 21, 1953.
