Norwich bulletin., 1922-08-18

Thursday afternoon-in accordance with the edict of the court at Jewett City Wednesday that the beer seized in two trucks last week should be destroyed as a nuisance-when man s sa:fi to have called up from Wauregan to testify that a quartet of eels had actually raised themselves on the brow of the dam at that place to twist themselves into let ters that spelled BEER.

 and the ordinary on-looker could rot
 stand the scene over twenty minutes
 without gasping for air.
 One statistically inclined soul who
 pensively watched the caps Tipping eff those beer bottles flad it figured out that
 at $30 barrel at the brewery $500
 worth of beer was being poured out on
 the grass grown banks and that a con-
 servative man, restricting himself to
 three bottles of that beer day, would
 hfr'e had a supply sufficient to .ast him
 for nearly seven years.
