% THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... ART: “Saw you at the movies last night, Judge. That was quite a weekend that alco holic went through, wasn’t it?” OLD JUDGE: “Sure was, but I’m afraid most people won’t really understand it.” ART: "What do you mean, Judge?” OLD JUDGE:"Simply this. That poor chap was really a tick man...not just a drunk. Studies by famous psychiatrists and the medical profession show that alcoholism is not caused by a craving for alcohol... it is usually the result of tome deep-rooted social, physical or emotional condition. If that fel low had not turned to alcohol for escape, he would have turned to something else.” ART: “Are there many that get in that condition, Judge?” OLD JUDGE: “Fortunately not, Art. Sci entists at a great university have stated that approximately 95% of the people who drink do so sensibly. Only 5% are immoderate at times. In that 5% is the small number known as alcoholics.- And the beverage distilling in dustry which does not want a single person to use its product immoderately, is cooper ating fully in the solution of this problem.” This advertisement sponsored by Conference of Alcoholic Beteroie Industries, lest. qirfui isoor^Jf, first mechanics re P^ i# wfit. working to* and better liv we can depe" pred mechanical greater prog YoUf Consum ten, an °x-p° was in use m ing.
