York, superintendent of the Ind- , liana anti-saloon league, in a speech j before the Indiana methodist pro- . testant conference here today pleaded for church members to “Unite , heir minds and hearts in a deter- , mined effort to rid the state of the greatest enemy of the home, church : and school — the beverage liquor 11 traffic.’’ "Home rule cannot be realized so I long as we send to .the legislature . men who are engaged in th" whole-, sale and retail liquor business, and 1 whose chief purpose In the general ( j assembly is to block all temperance 1 legislation"' York asserted. "An effort against the present , liquor program must include both an educational and legislative pro- ' gram." York said. “We must unceasingly remihd the people, and especially the youth, that alcohol is a narcotic habit-forming drug and racial poison. "We must constantly be reminded that alcohol is now the greatest ally of crime and by fa rthe major factor in motor traffic accidents. "Indiana Methodism has at least 180,000 voters in its membership which should be a vital factor in deciding the fate of liquor traffic,” York concluded. * ~ 0 « , Adams County | Memorial Hospital I ♦ : ♦ Admitted Wednesday: Mrs. John Bleeke, route 5.
