BRITISH 9Th SMASHES AHEA
State Tells Why
Shelves Of Liquor
Stores Are Bare
BY FRANK MORRIS

There is whisky panic in Detroit, and the
shelves of the liquor stores are bare.
AS fast as truckoad is received at the main
outlets it is snatched, bottle by bottle by men and
women who stand in line sometimes for hours.
Yet the state liquor control commission produced
figures today showing that it is distributing virtually
as much liquor as year ago, when there was no
shortage and the shelves were loaded.
The reason for this paradox
"Hoardng,' explained Commission Chairman
r. Glen Dunn.
"Saloonkeepers have been boarding. druggists
have been boarding, and now individuals are stow
ing whisky in their closets.
Another factor the huge increase in population in
the metropolitan
But II people would buy only what they there
would be plenty of whisky to meet normal demand"

No Discrimination,
Commissioners Insist

Chairman Dunn and Com
missioners Theodore |. Fry and
Felix II. II. Flynn insisted the
distillers are not discriminating
against the monopoly states,
which sometimes are hard bar
gamers and usually take a dis
count for prompt payment.
Wholesalers In open states
have been cut as much a. so
per cent" Dunn said which is
a fact verified by the Times sur
vey. They have large stocks
today only because they bought
heavily before the shortage.
"Some OF our fast-seIling
brands are no longer being pro-
duced, but few of the others
have been cut more than 20 per
cent. This drop has been Offset
partly by new brands"
The commission figures show
that 1882 cases OF liquor were
distributed in January. This is
only a slight drop from January

Christmas Yet UNCHANGED
By PVT CHARLES H. CURL
15Oth ON. Truck Co.

No roar of guns however loud
Or clear the sound might be
Nor drone of planes below the cloud
Or just above the sea;
No trample of soldiers feet
Nor grunts, nor groans, nor yells
Could ever hush the music sweet
OF ringing Christmas bells.
No veil of smoke from plane or shell
Shot on the battlefield
Nor cloud of dust and dirt that fell
From off old Hitler's heel;
No camouflage of sinful acts
Done off the battle scene
Could make untrue the Christmas fact
Mems couls are yet too keenl
The Apache sentinel., 1943-12-24

No sight of blood that has been shed
Or ruins of castles seen
Nor blasting bombs among the dead
Hurled by the cruel and mean;
No thoughts of youth with lives unlived
Or men with shattered dreams
Could mar the spirit that Christmas gives,
Its beauty so serene
Yea, Christmas marks the birth of Christ
Our souls He came to save;
He lived His life sacrifice,
Our haven of rest is made
Let not the sins of those unkind
Or thoughts of battle-fray
Now rob your life of the sublime
The spirit of Christmas Day.
