THE "BLACK SHEEP.”
NOTICED BY EVERYBODY. i: i: : VITALITY & COMMONSENSE
In every community and in every kind of industry there is a small proportion of “black sheep.” In addition to the many thousands of sensible and moderate people who enjoy the hospitality and fellowship to be found in a weil-conducted licensed house, there is a small proportion who go beyond the bounds of good sense and good manners. By drinking to excess and breaking the law in other respects they are a menace to the community, and they also endanger the freedom that is a traditional right in all British communities Public sentiment is in favour of moderation and sobriety, of liberty under the law. Every worthy citizen will endorse and support that sentiment to the end. In wartime, some allowance must be made for the “black sheep” because of emergency conditions: but the licensed trade, in the interests of the majority of its patrons and of the public generally, steadily aims to eliminate undesirable conditions and pracI tices.
