British Columbia Leads Canadian Provinces in Liquor Consumption
Figures released show British Columbia consumed liquor valued at 13.805 million dollars in the previous year, equating to about 24 dollars per person or 100 dollars per household. Visitors from the south contribute to the total, as locals drink under different laws. Also noted are curling results from Rivers Novelty Bonspiel with 17 rinks, highlighting winners in Grand Challenge and Consolation events. The piece ends with a reminder that all motor vehicles must be registered by January 31, 1949, and licenses must be obtained to avoid summons.
