Greene has received news that his
Real Liberty!
You can do almost anything you
want to under the American con
ception of personal liberty—just as
long as your actions do not hurt
others, or you don'f step on their
toes!
In other words, and despite the
liquor traffic's misrepresentations
during the campaign for repeal, the
American ideal of liberty gives you
no right to get tanked up. climb into
a car, and risk not only your own
life, or those of your passengers,
but the lives—and property—of
other citizens.
It gives you no right to anesthetize
yourself with liquor until you per
petrate moral or physical crime, nor
to dissipate the money necessary to
the lives of others, nor to wreck
your own life to the point where other
citizens have to pay their money to
support you or to hospitalize you,
according to the W. C. T. U.
-i
There is a rising clamor through
out the nation against the highway
deaths which result from driver or
pedestrian drinking. The call is to
“keep liquor out of the man, or
keep man out of the automobile.”
The National Safety Council, dis
interested authority, estimates that
one of every four fatal highway ac
cidents during 1940 involved a driv
er or a pedestrian reported to have
been drinking. The Council believes
that this ratio may even under
estimate the true situation!
Students of the situation stress
the indication that the so-called
moderate drinker is the danger on
the highway; that the actual drunk
is less likely to try to drive.
A majority of Americans are sane,
sober folk and they now are de
manding their own rights to life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness—
all of which can be wiped out in a
flash by the action of an alcoholic,
social misfit!
