Letters To Editor White I greatly deplore the recent tragic deaths: of the *lve men in Gastonia, resulting from drinking a poison mixture of paint thinner, and would like to *>peak words of com fort to their sorrowing relatives; yet I think undue criticism is being directed against the recent prohibi- ! tion of legal sale of beer and wine in Gaston County, because of this. No one would thipk ?of arguing that this Prohibition of such sale was the causeof these men being al coholics. And as much as 1 hate the "Blind Tiger, Mf such sale of hard liquor should have caused them to } be alcoholic*, 1 understand there, are many "Blind Tigers" in the coun! ty, still operating, where they could have moistened -their insatiable thirst, therefore I do not think the , blame lies there. It seems very evi- j dent to me '.ha* their excessive use i of beer and wine was the primary j cause of their insatiable thirst for I alcohol. So the God-fearing people of Gas ton county took the first available] opportunity to close up those slop | houses, and throw off the disgrace j of being forced into the LiqUor bus iness, by voting against legalizing . lion thai was. making alcoholics j of many citizens. They should be highly praised, and not criticised, | for that, it seems to me. In order to find where justified crj^ j ticism beiohgs it might be weir lor us all to rcm^iVVber, that In 1508 tlie| ?legal manufacture and sale of bev erage alcohol was voted out of Nor th Carolina by a majority of 40,000] ... and again a majority of 184,000 was , registeteci against the repeal ol the j 18th Amend n ent. This should show] the most skeptical that North Caro lina is prohibition state. During this] ^^*>cign of prohibition in spite of abus es by some officers who failed to en force, yet the institutions of the ] State for treatment of Alcoholics had to close their doors for lack of al coholics to treat. Diunkenness was reduced to the minimum and in ma ny towns and cities you rarely saw a drunken man. I cannot ask for space to enumerate the many bene fits of prohibition in our great-&lal?,_ in s; 'te of slanderers to the contrary. Now in the face of all of this, these same voters sent men to Ral eigh to carry on our policies, and enough of them lined up with the Liquor interests to pass a law to legalize the sale of wine and beer, in direct opposition to the will of the large majority of the people. So de termined were they, to make alco holics out of the people, that they prohibited the people from even vo ting on whether they would have beer and wine or not. And this is called a Democratic Stated In my o pinion Hitler nor Stalin ever did a worse thing. As a consequence people are be ing killed bodily by the hundred, by 'drunken drivers, -husbands murder ing wives, in -omc cases, neighbors murdering neighbors, homes ate be ing broken "up, and bedlam r'eipns supreme, to say nothing of the creat army of alcoholics staggering aim lessly through our beioved State. Ma ny of them fathers, mothers, sons | QmcT^W^TPasfTng ! \ and daughters. In the face of this who can keep quiet ? Until the Wholesale Dealers and the retail dealers, and the State of North Carolina all agree to quit vei ling. this manufacturer of all forms of evil; anu then provide free treat-*' ment ior atl alcoholics and repay innocent people or their property damage, and make some provision o care for those made paupers by this great -destroyer; their garments will be soaked and their hands drip p!ng with the blood of all such vie* tims as the five above mentioned, G. W. Fink. Chapel HiLL, N. C. Feb. 19, 1949. ' ? Dear Sir:? j rv" " * ?, ?: .. * * - I 1 am happy t<? be able to Write you that the March of Dimes Campaign in North Carolina is a success.
