Court Upholds Right Of

TORONTO. Ont, Dec. 14.-(P9-It'S
81 mans right TO get drunk when
and as often as he pleases in this
province, the appellate division of
thel Onthrio supreme court ruled
today. The court sustained the de.
cisiOn of lower court dismissing
an action for alimOny brought by
Mrs. Victoria Lang of Kitchener.
Ontario, against her husband, Je-
rome Lang. She sought to prove
cruelty with the statement that he
was continually drunk.
"That's not cruelty" Justice Rid
dell said i'm the courts decision.
"a man may get drunk every day
of his life. A man in this country,
under certain instances, has a
right to get drunk if he wants to,
at least that has always been the
law as 1 know it,"
He suggested that Mrs. Lang
should have exercised more discre-

has been estimated that the total re-
