Re raise drinking age urged at WCTU convention

Edith Stanley, president of the national Woman's Christian Temperance Union, urged states to raise the drinking age to 21 citing teen drunk driving deaths. She noted 8,000 youths are annually involved in such crashes and said lawmakers have moved slowly. The WCTU, founded in 1874, has about 250,000 members and aims to revive prohibition while also pursuing local option laws, liquor industry restrictions, and drug education.
