The Manitoba system permitted sale by the bottle only and banneu consumption in any public place. The system in actual operation can be described by quotations from the Liquor Enquiry Commissions report: It is a general practice at every dance or party that is held at many houses and hotels in Greater Winnipeg for each couple to bring along a bottle of iiuo.- for con(tire sumption during the evening. . . brown bag system).

N. Malmquist Tribune Staff Writer By WINNIPEG, MAN1PC3A The Ca- nadian province of Manitoba and Utah are similar in many respects. On the question of how best to handle liquor, Manitoba was in much the same situation in 1956 as Utah is in 196S. There was a strong and grot ng demand from a segment of the public for a liberalization by changing from a bottle only" system to some type of carefully controlled sale by the drink. There was a strong demand from another segment that no steps be taken to make liquor more available in any form. Got eminent Unw illing The government in power and a majority of the members of the legislative body, either from personal conviction or a belief that the opponents of liquor sales by the drink represented the larger segment, were unwilling to movfc toward liberalization. But the Liberal government, in response to the pressures for change in the liquor law, did establish a Liquor Inquiry Commission to study the problem and ; make recommendations. Selected for chairman of the commission was a former Conservative premier, CaLiquor problems in Utah and the simiwere Manitoba of nadian province lar just before Manitoba switched to a law in food-orient- liquor-by-the-dri- 1957.

Summarized Fears The report dramatically summarized the fears and apprehensions of the opponents of liberalization. They were convinced that making liquor available by the drink would greatly aggravate the problems of law enforcement, drunken 'driving, divorce, broken homes, child neglect and a host of other evils commonly associated with liquor. The commission spent a year gathering statistics from Canadian provinces, slates of the United States and European countries; listening to experts in the various fields from these same jurisdictions; observing the operations of differing systems, and listening to pro and con testimony from opponents and proponents of liberalization. On balance they decided that proponents of change had tiie better case and recommended revisions to permit a in rigidly controlled, licensed places. Isolated statistics can now be obtained to either prove or refute the arguments, expectations and apprehensions of botli sides. But one tiling is certain: An overwhelming majority of the residents of Manitoba and its major city of W'mipeg have concluded on a basis of experience that the liquor system they now have is much superior to the one they had before liberalization. And this majority includes those who fought liberalization in 1956. or-dispensing d -' k Similar to Some Slates Tiie system they adopted is similar (m tnat it ties sale of by tiie drink to food) to that prevailing in Oregon and Washington and several other states. It is more restrictive than tiie prevailing system in Idaho and much moie restrictive than those in such states as California, New York and Nevada.

AWnlee Ballot Rule Salt Lake County registered voters unable to vote on election day Nov. 5 can cast absentee ballots from Oct. 21 to Nov. 4, W. Sterling Evans, county clerk, announced. The ballots can be cast from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the county clerks office, adjacent to the Metropolitan Hall of Justice, 5th South and 3rd East. Executives Vole Support for 4 Amendments Members of the Utah Chamber and Association Executives Friday voted to support four of the five proposed amendments to the Utah Constitution. The issues are on the Nov. 5 general election ballot. Meeting at tiie University Club during their first membership meeting, the executives rejected, by what was termed a close vote, Proposition No. 4. Called the it would pro"Greenbelt Amendment, vide that land used for agricultural purposes may, as the Legislature prescribes, be assessed according to its value for agricultural use without regard to the value it may have for other purposes. Statewide Group The oigamzation was formed la.,t year when representatives from various statewide associations were allowed to join what had been a group of executives from chambers of commerce throughout the state. Jack Olson, executive director, Utah Taxpayers Assn., is president. Other officers are Dean R. Smith, Cache Chamber of Commerce, vice president, and Ronald P. Larsen, Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, secretary-treasureAbout 25 members voted to support the other four proposed constitutional r. amendments. Other Amendments Propositions 1 and 2 provide for legis- lative sessions every year and increased financial compensation for legislators. Proposition 3 would repeal the inventory tax and Proposition 5 provides that the Legislate may adopt standards for mandatory retirement of judges and for removal of judges from office. A panel discussing the constitutional amendments spent considerable time on the possibility that passage of tiie Greenbelt Amendment would be a step toward the adoption of an overall classified property tax. Teens Suggest Stricter Laws at Traffic Safety Meet Trying teens as adults in traffic courts; raising the state's driver education fee from $1 to $2; stricter law enforcement, and stricter laws on pedestrian behavior, freeway driving and use of motorcycles were recommended Friday at the 12th Annual Utah Teen-ag- e Traffic Safety Conference. Truck Breaks Down The chain of events began while Mr. Gannuscio was driving a dump truck owned by Salt Lake City Corp. to the Leslie Salt Co. northeast of here to pick up a load of rock salt to be used this winter on icy streets. The truck broke down. Mr. Gannuscio hitched a ride back to Salt Lake City, and he and Mr. Bruhn, a mechanic for Salt Lake City Corp., returned to tiie stalled truck in a city pickup. While attempting to start the dump truck, it backfired and spewed gasoline over both men. Mr. Bruhns clothing and hair flamed up, and Mr. Gannuscio rolled him in the dirt and tore his clothing off to extinguish the flames. The discussions, sponsored by the Salt Lake Safety Council and The Salt Lake Tribune, drew more than 100 Utah high school students to the State Office Building auditorium. After a morning session of introductions and a brief address by Gov. Calvin L.

Mr. Gannuscio, after putting out the blaze on Mr. Bruhn, put out the fire on the large truck, then extinguished the blaze on the pickup. After that, he put Mr. Bruhn in the pickup and drove him to a service station at Lake Point, called the Utah Highway Patrol and then transported him to Tooele Valley Hospital. Mr. Gannuscio returned to tiie scene about 9:30 to assist other city employes.
