ARCHIE MOORE
PLANS TO RUN
HEALTH CLUB

San Diego, Calf. (ANP) -
Archie Moore, the world light
heavyweight champion and man
of many ambitions, plans to run a
health club, among other things,
when he retires.
Archie made the disclosure while
discussing his future in a series
of articles in a local newspaper.
His proposed club will be on a
120 acre track of land in rocky
hills about 80 miles east of here.
Archie refers to it as the salt mine.
Buildings on the land are now I'M
dergoing alterations.
Moore, AZ by his own admission,
said he plans to use the club to
show people how to lose weight.
II will prove that I can take
any mani don't care how fat he
is - and take off from rs to 35
pounds without his losing any
strength whatsoever"
Archie is famed for taking off
weight rapidly. For one of his
Interchangeable title defenders,
he took off as much as rs pounds
in a little over two weeks.
Moore claims he picked up a
secret diet prescription from an
aborigine in Australia some time
ago.
When will he retire? It's any
body's guess.

Drinking In Cars
Is Prohibited

Drinking while driving received
a blow from the legislature with
the passage of Chapter 255, Min
nesota Statutes 1859, which pro-
hibits the carrying Of open bottles
containing Intoxicating liquors in
motor vehicles.
Prior to passage Of this law, it
had not been illegal, under high
way traffic regulations, to carry
partially consumed bottles of liq-
uor or to drink liquor in motor
vehicles.
Chapter 255 has three parts
which cover different situations.
Section one provides that no
person shall drink or consume in
toxicating liquors or non-intoxicat-
ing malt liquors in any motor
vehicle when it is upon a public
highway.
Section two provides that it
shall be illegal to have in posses
sion or on ones person while in a
private motor vehicle upon a pub
lie highway any bottle or recep-
tacle containing intoxicating liquor
or notwithstanding malt liquor
which has been opened.
Section three provides that it
shall be unlawful for the owner
of any private motor vehicle or
the driver to keep any bottle or
receptacle containing Intoxicating
liquor or Notwithstanding malt
liquor which has been opened, or
the seal broken, or the contents
of which have been partially re-
moved except when such bottle or
receptacle shall be kept in the
trunk of the motor vehicle. In
those motor vehicles not equipped
with a trunk, such as station
wagons, an opened container may
be kept in some other area of the
vehicle not normally occupied by
the driver or passengers.
No open liquor bottle or beer
container may be kept in the utiH-
ty or glove compartment as the
law considers these to be within
the area occupied by the driver
or passengers. Violations are mis-
demeanors under the law, which
became effective when signed by
Governor Freeman on April Is,
1859.
Chapter 255 covers the above
actions anywhere upon a public
highway which means the entire
width between boundary lines, 1,
e., the entire width Of the right
of way including travelled portion,
shoulders, bitches and similar
areas.
