LIQUOR AND CRIME
Sir,—Of the steady stream of Court cases caused by intoxicants, most seem to be committed by young men—the pity of it. Fully half the crashes on our roads are due to drink-caused recklessness affecting the brain. Government and traffic policemen are at their wits’ end trying to stop the senseless slaughter. Now, a new hotel is to be opened at Marshland, with special provision for narking motorcars. “It is a mad worla, my masters!” Or is it that the powerful liquor trade has got New Zealand by the throat? — Yours, etc., FRED. T. MILES. Ashburton, September 21, 1956.
