PAGE TWO Officials Are Urged To Scrutinize Beer License Applications New Taj: Year For Beer License Begins on May 1 The Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Committee ha? requested city and county officials of Chowan county to scrutinize carefully “all applications for retail beer,li censes to the end .that the industry may be purged of illegal or undesir able outlets. Edgar H. Bain of Goldsboro, State director in charge of the beer indus try’s “clean up or dose up” cam paign in North Carolina, cited the 1939 statute which prohibits the is suance of retail beer licenses to per sons guilty of liquor law violations “within the last two years prior to tte filing of the application.” He re minded that the new tax year for beer licenses begins May 1. “In venturing to call this section to your attention,” Colonel Bain wrote city and county officials, “we i courteously and respectfully urge i you to refuse licenses to all dealers who can not comply with the law.” “In our investigation of beer deal ers in North Carolina, we have found i several' instances where dealers con- victed of liquor law violations in \ 1938 were re-licensed in 1939. We ] hope that all such dealers will be > eliminated in 1940 for the welfare , both of the communities and of the ( beer industry, which contributes j more than ten million dollars annual ly in taxes and wages in this State.” DRUM RUNNING STRONG Latest reports from the banks of North Carolina are that channel bass are running in “huge schools” in Oregon Inlet not far from Manteo. Most of the catches are being made from boats as the schools are still a short distance off shore. t ad Hereford | > /l>|% and Angus j STEERS i rjtqspwt. 400 to 900 lbs.
