The Alcohol M Beer Natural" Content, Not "Stepped-Up", Urged at Master Brewers Convention
 in Cincinnati, o.
NEW LONDON DAY

At 8 convention of the Master Brewers association recently, held in Cincinnati, one of the speakers urged members to work valiantly for natural beer demand-"natural," that is, in the sense of beers and ales that are of the natural alcoholic content rather than "stepped-up'' to meet some popular demand for a stronger drink. Prohibition, he declared, made the people of this country "alcohol conscious" They grew accustomed to high-powered home brew and, when repeal came along, sought beers with 8 "wallop.'
 And yet, before prohibition became the law of the land, the brewers
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-14

paid little attention to alcoholic per- centages in their product, concen- trating their efforts upon producing beer that was correctly brewed. There is no excuse whatever, this speaker said, for turning out la ger beer, for instance, that runs above 3.2 to 35 per cent alcohol by weight.
 There is a lot of truth in this general observation. When beer first became legal in Connecticut, following prohibition, there were some brewers straining every re- source to turn out beer or ale (often an ale, because it is easier to obtain a high-powered ale in brewing processes) that would have the required "kick." Some of them boasted of the fact that their ales ran better than ten per cent alco- hol. There seemed to be a brisk de- mand for these "stepped-up" bev- erages. All of the while, however, it was evident to the persons know ing something of normal alcoholic content for beers and ales that the beer drinkers consuming 8 lager beer for it's alcoholic effect would have to have a tremendous liking for their "suds" to get much buoy ant alcoholic effect from any na- tural product.
 Since there are many individuals who will have their beer, 1t follows that it would be an excellent thing for the nation if the brewers could persuade them to accept the less potent types. A lager beer of or dinary alcoholic strength is more palatable and satisfactory than one so manipulated in the brewing pro- cess that it gains greatly in alcohol but loses it's identity. Ales ordin- arily run higher in alcoholic con- tent, but seldom exceed six per cent, according to authorities. Thus, when an ale is brewed that is far more potent than six per cent, it often happens that it is not im- proved in the strengthening pro- cess.
 The Henderson "plea for dilution' of alcoholic likes and dislikes of the people contemplates much this same thing-the acceptance of bev- erages having a moderate "kick' rather than continuance of the use of those having a pronounced alco- holic effect. The more people who can be persuaded to accept the weaker beverage, the better the chance of overcoming the tradi- tional American taste for strong liquors.

Selected Poem
THE DEBTORS

THE DEBTORS Margaret McGarvey in the New York Times) Who sees tree in blossom, Or in it's time of leaf, Dares not to think such loveliness Shall some day come to grief . We must be gay in April" Laugh slender girlish trees, And SO they order fragrance Or petals as they please They reckon not on Autumn, When mists hang on the hill And the Shylock wind comes creaking To collect his careful bill . The golden leaves are twirling Upon the dusty ground, To pay for light rain batter That fragile April sound For stretches of pale petals, The fitting of wing, And all the pretty tri1es Trees fancy in the spring. The yellow leaves are drifting, Since trees must pay for all- The stars they fasten in their boughs, The robins mating call The Shylock wind is counting The gold leaves in his till And slender trees are shivering- Stark naked on the hill.

Waterbury's celebration of Columbus Day brings home very clearly the fact that of recent years we have been pa- triotic-minded. There has been tendency on the part of individuals and societies to join in public demonstrations, strange ly lacking for a good many years. It's healthy sign and goes hand in hand with the return of better economic conditions. Let's hope it will continue.
