Back-Log From Citizen News Columns EDITORIAL GLAMOURIZED DRINKING Have you been to a movie lately? If so, you probably know the meaning of 'glamourized drinking." You hear ads on the air for alcohol and see them on bill boards. Naturally, liquor companies pay for these. But the most effective campaign for the drinking of liquor is carried on free of charge. In a very large percentage of movies, you see a businessman busi-nessman come home, and in very plush surroundings such as a beautiful den, he makes a cocktail with his beautiful equipment. Does this strengthen the plot? Does this make him any more of a hero? - You often see, in these movies, drunkenness treated very lightly. Does this bring the approval of the audience? When' youths see everyone holding some kind of a cocktail cock-tail at a gay movie party, they are bound to think, "That looks like fun there doesn't seem to be any harm in it." Why is it necessary for Hollywood to carry on this campaign cam-paign for liquor? The answer is there is absolutely no reason. It gives maijy people reason not to attend movies at ary. it taxes au or it to live here ; voice and waves his arms and in Washington and to maintain hands Inn vorv natural and rcn- 'their homes back in their dis-ivincing style.

While this TEN YEARS AGO two-year term is strenuous and expensive, I believe I am definitely defi-nitely in favor of it. From Missouri Speaking of members being close to the people, I should like to describe one of the most color ful members of the House of Representatives. Way back in January I remember seeing Geo. H. Christopher sitting alone in the House Chamber. I observed Fanner-La wmaker Congressman Christopher is a Democrat from Missouri, where he was born on a farm in 1888. He operates a 915-acre farm, and has been Interested all his life in soil conservation. Representative Christopher has seven sons and two daughters. Four of his sons did battle in the last war, and it may be interest ing to note that Congressman all, and certainly lends a helping hand to corrupting the youth of America. San Dune, (Jr. high paper) Muskegon, Mich.' Perhaps the most unusual "chicks" ever known to this- poultry poul-try district baby peacocks were, hatched this week at the A. W. Pulley farm.
