Girls Drinking From Bottles in Streets
DRUNKENNESS IN NEW ZEALAND Per Press Association. WHANGAREI, May 7. A London businessman visiting x\ew Zealand is surprised at the amount of drinking permitted in New Zealand dance halls. Nowhere at Home, he said, would a girl coming out of a dance hall and putting a bottle to her lips in the street be seen; the police would not allow it. Young people here did not seem to realise the possibility that drinking in public in such a manner was undesirable. Drunkenness seemed to be more noticeable here. There were not sufficient New Zealanders to fill one large English city, yet drunkenness was a more frequent sight here. It was possible to go all day in London and not see a drunken person. Australia also compared unfavourably with England in that respect
