Cutshall A stinging indictment against the ' moral disintegration of this nation within the past years was made by Dr. Guy E Cut-shall Cut-shall before the combined Alpine Al-pine stake priesthood and Relief Society leadership meeting Sunday Sun-day afternoon in the stake tabernacle. tab-ernacle. Dr. Cutshall, representative represent-ative of the National Temperance Temper-ance Movement, laid the blame directly at thr door of bever age alcohol" which he branded as "the fertilizer that helps the underworld to raise crops "of sin, and to feed every devilish ent-ef ent-ef prize in decent society". Figures that reveal an appalling, appal-ling, increase in hard liquor consumption con-sumption show that in 1946, the staggering sum of $8,700,000,000 was spent where for the same period, but one billion was given churches in tithes and offerings offer-ings throughout the nation and four billion went for schools, churches, state, public and private. pri-vate. . He quoted Senator Capper's figures: 90 million gallons of alcohol consumed In 1934 and in 1949, 371 million gallons. Dr. .Cutshall declared, that never before in history have the forces of rightousness and evil been arrayed against each other- "There are only two classes clas-ses of people," he declared, "the white morally and true black morally," arid he went on "gambling, "gam-bling, drunkeness and crime are the most unholy trinity-of the morally black." Not without a sense of houmor, the lecturer declared he "wouldn't trust a gambler any farther than he could throw his car by the fan-belt." fan-belt." The crime budget of the United States totaled 16 billion dollars this year, according to figures released by the. Federal Bureau of Investigation, which is three, times the amount spent to curb crime In 1934, according to the speaker.
