WHAT’S YOUR AGE?

Here is a message for all young men and women who have reached the age of 21 since 1938. This year you will be privileged to vote for the first time, at the General Election j>n September 25. You will have the opportunity of registering your vote for Liberty —the thing which the United Nations are fighting for. Do you realise the importance of making a sound decision on the Licensing Question? A ballot on that issue will be taken in conjunction with the General Election —this is required by the law.

Consider these important facts: 1. All the world has rejected prohibition. New Zealand has done so on every occasion, each time morq emphat ■ ically than the last. 2. America gave prohibition a thorough trial, lasting 14 years and costing billions of dollars. Its repeal was carried by the biggest majority ever recorded on any question. 3. New Zealand cannot afford to squander millions to provide additional proof of an acknowledged universal failure.

For these reasons you will ■ realise how necessary it is for you to cast your vote for Continuance. Strike out the two bottom lines on the Voting Paper.—Advt.
