Temperance Amendment Rally Opposed by Mason County Clergy
In Point Pleasant a temperance rally drew about 300 at a high school to oppose the liquor control amendment. Speakers including State Senator J G F Johnson and George Rairden argued against liquor sales by the drink, citing increased consumption and social ills. Dr Gordon L Withers cited 1961 state liquor-store receipts totaling 36 million and warned the amendment would not curb liquor but remove controls.
