"A Great Op- portunity to the Right Person.* If you serve alcohol. you could be liable fo Kings "Mountain Police Department is reminding hosts of social events where alcohol is served of the new social host liabil- ity law. Chief Warren Goforth said that as we enter this holiday season, more than ever a server of alco- holic beverages must exercise care. "The North Carolina Supreme Court recently ruled that a host can be held responsible for injuries caused by a guest who becomes in- toxicated and has a wreck on the way home from a party,” said Goforth. "The Court said the host of a party who serves alcohol to a guest who is under the influence when the server knew the guest “was likely to drive a carcan be sued for injuries caused by the guest while operating an automo- bile."

When having a party, the host is responsible for assuring that guests are not served alcohol to the point of intoxication, when the guest may drive. "Intoxication does not i A a ag Nt Stl rv 1 mean obviously drunk but means that the guest's mental or physical faculties are noticeably affected by the alcohol," said Goforth. "The host must remain alert dur- ing the entire party, but especially while guests are leaving," accord- ing to Goforth. 3 A party can be made safer by serving non-alcoholic drinks to drivers and closing the bar and. serving food at least 30 minutes prior to the end of the party. 6 Days Only December LR IAT ena deh * SOFAS lod, VY | 145 * RECLINERS oLIIVING ROOM AND DEN TABLES LAMPS PICTURES *BEDROOM GROUPS, *DINING ROOM SUITES, PRICE Recorder With Remote FN ALL COST PLUS FREIGHT DELIVERY OPTIONAL Eureka Upright e Powerful, Lifetime-Lubricated Motor LIANCES ATA) STEREOS WHOLESALE e (Carpet Height Adjustment e Edge Kleener® On Both Sides eo Use Genuine Eureka Bags — Style F&G oll am ERY pic We Specialize || Gene in Special Lay, P Audrey &| On der.
