Mugs To Be Served Only At 'Cocktail Hours' New York's nickel beer hasn't gotten quite this far south yet, but for two hours each day, be ginning today, Danzigers' Rams head Rathskellar will offer Chap el Hill's first post-war dime beer. Ted Danziger, owner of the "old country" type tavern said yesterday that the new beer will be served in an 8 inch mug. Questioned as to the whys and wherefores of the important change in beer prices, Danziger said, "It's springtime, I get up earlier, I come to work sooner and I might as well have company while I'm about it." "We're limiting our dime beer sales to the 'cocktail hours'," he said, "mostly because I don't want to go broke. The beer will be sold practically at cost, because I think there are lots of boys and girls who might .have an extra hour or so before supper and will enjoy the 'cocktail hour beer.' "Of course," he added, "we'll still be offering our regular chicken sup pers and other services from 5 o'clock on." What effect the new price of ten cents for a mug of beer would have in other restaurants and cafes which sell the popular suds cVjuld not be determined yester day.
