"Here we are holding a tempcrancc meeting in Oamaru and not a single drunk to liven up the proceedings," said Mr L. M. Isitt, M.P., on Monday evening. "Years ago," continued the speaker, "it was the practice of the drunks to attend the prohibition meetings and interject, but their interjections in many cases helped the speaker considerably." "However," said Mr Isitt, "no-license has altered all that in Oamaru." —"North Otago Times."
