At a game in this state recently we saw more drunks than we had witnessed in years at similar oc casions, and we were not out looking for them. With liquor, flowing freely on every corner, with the national and etate governments urging people tO buy itXB a mean.s of raising additional revenue , for them to spend, is there any wonder or surprise that there is a steady inci'ease in drinking every- whei’e as shown by police court reC- oids all over the country.

The statement of new actions against home owhers'represents a big increase oven the 1,823 foreclosures recorded up to three wcfeks ago. On an average basis of $3,000 per loan, value of the homes the latest report states exceeds $6,000,000.

BIDDING FOR YOUTH Many of the newspapers, especially dailiejj, are full of whiskey advert ments. (The Chronicle does not y^rry them).
