Judie O. M. Frost for trial.
This is something of a record,
according to Chief of Police Mc
Nabb. The chief declares that
the Christmas holidays are un
usually the time when liquor
cheer flows quite freely, and that
during the past, Christmas has
been one-of the big times when
arrests for intoxication and for
the possession of intoxicating li
quor were made. •
"Perhaps,” said McNabb, "the
blockade put into effect by the
federal and state prohibition of
ficers Just before the holidays,
was responsible for the unusual
“dryness" of the season. At any
rate, there wasn’t as much ^rioon"
and wine this year as during the
past”.
For several days prior to
Christmas, an officer was on guard
day and night at the junction of
the Ashland - Klamath Falls
highway, where all cars were stop
ped and searched for liquor. But
few arrests were made, however,
and most of these were for poss
essing small quantities of liquor,
none over ten gallons. None of
the reputed “bonded stuff” which
la usually associated with the
Christmas trade, was taken.
