GLASSES OF WINE
Sir;-The photograph of the leaders of Twenty Questions with liquor glasses in front of them would be to hundreds of householdets, as it was ‘td me, just disgusting. Who gets away with this sort of thing? It is quite possible that the leaders were not drinkers, but the idea given to the readers and éspecially to our young people is that they are. It is criminal in New Zealand to €ell to those under 21, but is it not just as criminal to tempt the younger folk? We see it constantly in the movies, and in the U.S.A. in television. The liquor habit is such a dangerous habit to begin that those who have the welfare of the people at heart do everything to discourage the habit. The Listener is an_ interesting paper, and I am glad to see many of the good articles, but I get a shock when I see encouragement given to the vices that destroy a hation.
