The 46th annual an-nual Strawberry Days celebration celebra-tion is all set to go at 10 a m. Thursday, June 15th. Almost a half - century ago, the late James (Jim) Thorne conceived the idea of an annual Strawberry Day celebration and festival. It has been going strong ever since and gaining momentum and popularity each year.

Both seemed to be doing well, when Utah's electorate decided to "vote 'er dry." Then followed follow-ed a few years of state-wide prohibition- and later on - the - entire U.S.A. went arid by constitiutional amendment. ' However, prohibition didn't work. Bootleggers and home-' brewers- increased bv shoals , and numbers. As one old time tippler said, "xney can pass all th laws thev want: but they can never prevent sugar and yeast from working naturally." natur-ally." After a ; go at "nation-wide" - the enemies of alcohol decided they were getting nowhere. The same amount of liquor was be- " ing' "consumed, at higher cost for inferior' quality and the - government was collecting no . tax: So, the prohibition amend- nient was repealed.

And the Legislature were right. There's profit to be made in the sale of alcoholic bever-eges. bever-eges. In 1966 the total gross sales of" the Utah State Liquor Storeswere $19,771,441. And whatever the profit is on sales of nearly $20 million, it ain't peanuts. Not long ago, a new problem raised its ugly head.- Accord ing to Utah law a person can buy a bottle of liquor at a state store but he can't drink it in public. Well how about drinking the stuff in a person's private club? He could take the bottle, there and the club bartender could serve him the-' drinks. - ----- The legal boys said OK, and so the "Locker Club1 idea was born in Utah. Since their small" beginning Locker Clubs have flourished in Utah. As of June 10, 1967, there were 131 such estblishments in Utah, where liquor by the drink is legal if you are a club membef . that is. According to a recent survey by a Salt Lake City" newspaper, news-paper, club memberships are easy to come by, ranging in price from nothing to $25.00, with emphasis on the lower fees.
