VIEWS OF ANGLICAN SYNOD
BENEFITS OF WELL-RUN HOTEL TO COMMUNITY
(United Press Association) DUNEDIN, October 12. By an overwhelming majority the Anglican Synod of Otago and Southland approved the establishment of “wet” canteens in military camps. Archdeacon Whitehead said a. good publican was as great an asset in the community as a good priest, a good doctor or a good lawyer. Moreover, a well-run hotel was as essential to communal life as a church. Whatever people thought about wet canteens, they were not, as was SUSgested by some factions, houses of illfame.
