Show UTAH VALLEY NEWS Page Two letter was reud before the Utah County planning board Utah Valley News Thursday. The proof can be found first hand by any observer of the crowds that throng to the liquor stores in every one of these communities that money thrown away for liquor cannot buy shoes, nor food for needy children. Consider the following facts: PROVO CITYS LIQUOR BILL for 1937 was $131r 633.53 ; 1936 $121, 025.37.

These things should not be said if they are not true, hut if they are true then the people of this community should face the facts and consider ways and means of changing them. Marble machines are a menace to irresponsible youth. They waste much needed money in the first place. They waste valuable time in the second place, and they create an attitude and atmosphere of Tuck and chance which is the basis for very poor citizenship. The wise guys" seldom play them, except to lead the gullible youth on to spending. Every person who does play them is the loser in cash, in time, and in morale. 1936.
