Bear Cans Deplored
To the editor
You wrote an editorial the
other day telling us housewives
we should save tin cans because
they were necessary for the war
effort. But you did not say any
tiling about the tin cans they
are using to send beer overseas
to make drunkards out ot our
boys and girls.
I believe every Christian in
this nation of ours should pro
test this, as it does nobody any
good; it takes up our cargo
space that could be used to send
supplies to our men and allies
I was faithful In saving my
tin cans until 1 learned this
then I quit. If the grain used foi
making liquor was used to feed
tne starving nations, we would
not have so many drunkards.

I met one old Negro above

from employment in the Brook

The confusion among this

The rich of this war era also
