they're GETTING It
BUT HOW AND WAERE2
Four "Drunks" in City Court This
Morning Show Lid Must be
OFF Somewhere.

That section of Wilmingions pop,i-
lation which is boozenivcrotis Is getting
ii somewhere. although where that some
where is no deponet steps forward TO say
But the firm. outstanding, non SKID
fact remains that they are getting 1t,
despite the fact that the lid Is down and
that the Attorney Generals Office and
the police department arc sitting on IT
and not even letting IA foot hang over
to take an ounce of their combined
weights
Proof OF this pudding lies in the fact
that drunks" continue to matcrIaiize
each morning AT CITY Court because
one cant get drunks without hard
liquor of some sort or other, and YOU
cant get hard liTior" unless somebody
sells it and YOU know where that some
body does business
And a funny part of it IS that denizons

Wherefore IT would appear that 4 iS easier
for the stranger within our gates TO 60

for the citizen who registered Saturday
to go into a side door and get hls. The
