| (An Open Letter to County and City Officials)
J May is the month when city and county authorities
, have the responsibility of passing on yearly app'ii
i cations for beer licenses.
It is the hope of the Brewers and North Carolina
Beer Distributors Committee that local authorities
will scrutinize the record of each applicant, and
will deny renewals to the few who have abused the
privilege of a license.
; Careful selection of licensees fosters better law ob-
I aervance—requiring a small expenditure for en
{ forcement and allowing larger sums for welfare and
| school purposes. ,
