'■■i!v ac make it easy for the drunks, j 1: is amusing to note many of the dai.y papers deploring the killing ofi people on the highways and at the same time carrying enticing liquor j advertisements in their columns. | They are contributing to increased *ales of intoxicants which law en forcement officers tell us is the main cause of the mounting deaths on the highways. The liquor manufacturers are eager to get their products adver tised over the radio also. One o,f the largest distillers says that “the time is undoubtedly coming when distilled spirits advertising on the major* ra dio and television outlets will be ac cepted as completely for our industry as advertising in the major maga zines and in newspapers is today.” This means they will keep fighting to create favorable sentiment and put) their drive across. This already would have happened had it not been for prompt and outspoken protests. Let us hope that the American kiomes can remain free from pro grams that come over the air with a whiskey breath. Broadcasters and distillers should be made to know in' unmistakable terms that the public will fight their determined efforts in tins direction.
