From where I sit.. * T f />y Joe Marsh Sam Abernethy always said: “Curiosity may kill a cat - but I'm no cat.” Which is Sam’s way of saying that when he’s curious about something he goes out and gets the facts. Seems our government feels the same way. After hea:-ing ru in, rs about our soldiers drink ing too much -government peo ple went after the facts. They got the evidence on what our boys drink . .. and don’t drink. The government found out our Army's the best behaved in history. AiM e'ri half of 'em drink lifer—nothing stronger. And the government found that selling 3.2 beer In Army camps Is one reason why our Army is so tern perat','. Frcm where I sit, there Isn’t much cause to worry about our men in the Army. Looks like they can take care o’ themselves -and take care o’ the Nazis and the Japs, too. (£) 1943. BREWING INDUSTRY FOUNDATION. Norlh Caroline Commit!** Edgnr H.
