Prohibition Director D. J. CAN'T
and his raiding agents are preparing
to stage one of the niftiest whisky
parties" Of the year on christina
eve at noon, in front of the federal

gin," said Director CAN'T, land we
may have movie men on the job
making pictures of the big party as
it progresses along to a climax"
More than 1000 gallons Of pure
mountain dew" will be on hand
Every drop of it has been captured
during the past few days by Mr..
Gantt's agents in raids in the noun
tains of north Georgia.
But, is the government going to
even if it is Christmas timer" Di-
rector CAN'T was asked by callers at
his office Wednesday to whom he ex-
tended invitations.
Absolutely" said the dry chief,
"this party will conform in every
detail to the Volstead act, the eight
zenith amendment, and all other reg
ulatlOnS, whether federal, state,
county or municipal"
Then the chief explained that the
big and only feature of the party
will be the pouring of the 1000 gal

"Some of it is in twenty-gal1on
containers, and some of it was seized
in half-pint bottles, but all Of it

Director CAN'T added that he
thought this would be one of the

Of the bootleggers who watch the

that as many Of the so-called rum

ent plans of the prohibition depart
ment. Director CAN'T will be mas
ter of ceremonies. and Revenue Of
ficer J. M. Hicks will supervise the
