; Winter or summer, there Is no

I i dog than water which contains

rteanse and purify his system. An
iot weather, however, depriving a
" log of water will do jnore than

' tept In pens or on runs should
mt In for particular attention
luring the summer months. It Is
way for the water dish to be upset
ind the pet to suffer until someone
Inally notices what has happened.
Fresh water la Important, too.
Most dogs prefer pure cool water
tnd While they wilt drink water
left too long In the sun before they
- actually suffer, they will probably
Irlnk too little. In hot weather,
pater should be changed about
ihree times a day.
Serving water with meals Is not
lecessary if a food containing
plenty of moisture is used. In fact,
lome canine, nutrition authorities
think that 4 dog shouldn't have

If you are using a dry typi mr
mereial food, be sure that it is ;1
soaked to replace as much as ios
sible of the natural juices thai
dehydration takes away. If you arc
feeding a first quality canned type
of course, this is not necessary
since the moisture in these foods it
carefully held to about the. same
content as that found in fresh raw
steak, a moisture content approved
by the U. S. Department of Aprl
culture for a maintenance food foi

The ABC Stores
Vote AGAINST ABC Stores August 16th
Our state and nation face a real problem in the sale and consumption of intoxicalinu
beverages. But it is our contention that legalising alcohol will not only fail to ;olvc ihe
problem, but will make our situation relative to drink worse.
For one thing, we contend that ABC stores will increase drinking and drunken
ness. Authorities in our ABC counties ought to know. Said the chief of police. Edward
Belangia, of New Bern: "About 90 or 95 otrrests, which are made are caused by drink
ing whiskey. Plain drunks arrested on our streets and other places have MORE THAN
DOUBLED since the ABC stores have been established."
The ABC stores in Mecklenburg county have Increased the consumption of hard liq
uors, according to the police records. The city police, Charlotte, reported 6,754 arresN
for drunkenness in 1946 (before the ABC store), and for the first 11 months in 1948. the
arrests were 7,754. Drunken driving for the same period in 1948 was 443, while there
were only 306 in 1946.
Increase In Consumption Of Liquor
"Since the repeal of prohibition," according to R. M. Hauss. of the Allied Church
League, "consumption of alcoholic beverages have increased approximately five times.
In 1934, $2,000,000,000 worth of liquor was sold, and in 1947 the amount was $9,640,000,
000. In 1934 the average consumption per individual was 8.4 gallons; in 1947, it was 30
gallons per Individual."
"Consumption in North Carolina," he continued, "was nine times as much in 1948
as was the consumption in 1937." In 1934, "there was 34,000,000 people in America who
drank; in 1948, the number of drinkers leaped to 65,000,000."
. Legalized Liquor Doesn t Stop Bootlegging
If you really want old-fashion bootlegging, just establish ABC stores," said R. M.
Hauss. And the mayor of Kinston, Hon. Guy Elliott, said: "I do not think it (ABC stores)
decreased the illegal sale of whiskey. In fact, I think it made it more profitable for the
bootlegger because they not only handled non-taxed liquor, but they buy and re-sell tax
paid whiskey. The fourth major raid in Mecklenburg County since the sale of hard liq
uor became legal resulted in the arrest of 16 bootleggers. Twenty Lenoir County resi
dents were recently convicted in the New Bern Federal Courts on charges of violating
the-llquor laws.
Moonshiners Busy In ABC Counties
"Small-Time Moonshiners are back In business," said Sigabee Miller, in The Char
lotte Observer, April 17, 1948. "The stills are getting smaUer and more numerous," re
ports T. E. Patton. "The business is booming." . . . A.B.C. stores don't seem to enter Into
the picture. When Mecklenburg County was dry, a moonshiner was a rare find. And at
the same time in Craven County, where liquor was legalized, the moonshiners flourished.
"The ABC stores will sell from 9 a.m. to S p.m. and the bootleggers from 5 p.m. to
9 a.m." A lady recently told the writer that the bootleggers were particularly busy in their
own town over the week end while the ABC store was closed.
N
Revenue From Liquor
Advocates of the ABC stores lay much emphasis upon the revenue derived from the
sale of liquor. In fact, if the profit motive was taken out of liquor, the industry would
dry rot.
Judge Wm. H. Bobbltt, of Charlotte, said: "You cannot found an enduring social or
der or build up enduring citizenship on liquor profits ..."
"You will never build a great state or a great country upon profits derived from
the sale of liquor," said Senator Clyde R. Hoey.
"Protection of Its citizens is the function of the state. It is intolerable that any gov
ernment through participation in revenue should be a party to a business which thrives
upon the physical, social, moral and spiritual decay of its people," said Bishop C. Purcell.
What Legalized Liquor Cost The State
Something has been said about moderate drinkers, but I lie liquor industry makes
their profits from "excessive ill-inkers." The more liquor that is sold, the more revenue
they make, and that is the chief iim rr the liquor interest.
But what does it COST THF STATK If. rare for the drinkers and drunkards Ilia I re
sult from the liquor business? There are I 000,000 alrholics (drunkards) in the United
Stales, acrording to Dr. E. N. .lellinek of Yale University. Many of these physical and
moral wrecks must be provided for bv the government. DurinR Ihe five year oeriod
from 1942 to 1947. the State Hospital. Haleich. iDia Hill) received 1,149 men and 124
women. The Koelev Institute lia received 1,005 alcoholic patients from North Carolina.
The annual loss of wages caused In slicing drink is $432,000,000, acrording lo the econo
mist Benson Y. Landis.
Moreover, the non-drinkers have to lieln carry the burden of cost in increased in
surance rates, etc., resulting from more accidents caused by people driving under the in
fluence of drink, and a shorted life enectani due to alcoholism. (The Life Insurance
Companies will give you some slarlling figures.)
Control Stores?
The people should not be fooled by the words "control" in connection with ABC
stores. A prominent citizen of Kinston said that the words "control" relative to the sale
and consumption of liquor was Ihe keenest bit of stragety that the devil ever got across
to man. The destillers and government, as the above figures indicate, are heaping up the
sales of liquor rather than controlling it. The dominant motive is sales, money and
more money, not regulation.
And Don't Be Fooled By The Way The Question Is Stated On The Ballot. Be Sure
To Vote AGAINST the so-called "CONTROL" of Liquor.
Did You Know?
That no one expected to be a drunkard when he started "moderate drinking," and
that three out of 10 moderate drinkers become drunkards.
That some people are allergic to alcohol, and that they have an overwhelming de
sire for over-indulgence until they become "diseased drinkers" or drunkards.
That health authorities rank alcoholism with cancer, heart and venereal disease
as a public health menace.
That the distinguishing mark of an alcoholic is that, once he takes a drink he cannot
stop until he is too drunk to drink any more.
That the chemist, classifies alcohol as "poison" and that it has a special affinity
for nerve tissue and brain.
That the alcoholic Industry spent $112,000,000 last year in advertising their pro
duct, and that they along with the movies, are educating a "new generation" to drink.
That the public schools and the churches are teaches the ill effects of alcohol. While
the liquor industry and the government (where liquor is legalized), is urging the sale
of drink for the sake of money.
That there are 4.000,000 alcoholics in the United States, 750,000 of whom are in the
final stages of the disease, according to Dr. E. N. Jellinek, of Yale University.
Some Wise Sayings
i "Look not upon the wine when it is red ... At last it biteth like a serpent, and
stingeth like an adder." Prov. 23:31-32.
"O God, that men should put an enemy (liquor) in their mouths to steal away their
brains." Shakespeare.
"Liquor might have defenders, but no defense. Abraham Lincoln.
"By legalizing the traffic we agree to share with the liquor-seller the responsibili
ties and evils of his business. Everyone who votes for license becomes of necessity a
partner to the liquor traffic and all its consequences." Wm. McKinley.
"A lot of people think a lot more about the little bit of revenue the State receives
from legalized whiskey, beer and wine than they do about the harm it does, the lives
lost, and the evil influences." Judge J. Paul Frizzelle, North Carolina.
