»ok«y. The privately-financed National Committee for Defense Against Alcoholism claims it has collected 10 million signatures on a' voters* petition calling for the outlawing of “bouilleurs de cru’*, or intinerant stills. First Target These stills travel from farm to farm turning fermented fruit ■ juices into potent hearthside liquor. • The temperance people, riding the crest of a sweeping anti-alco-holism campaign sparked by milkdrinking Premier Pierre MendesFrance, have made the banning of home-made hootch the first target

of their offensive against exces- I 1 slve drinking. .. ? J I- Under French law, anyone grow--0 ing fruit is entitled to distill for i- his own use a yearly amount of f tax-free liquor up to the equivalent t of 10 liters (about gallons) of pure alcohol. , This mean sthat virtually every ) orchard or vineyard owner in t France may make about five gal- - lons of grape-brandy or applejack each year without making any tax j returns. - From 90.0(h) persons taking, ad- - vantage of this legal provision in - 1879, their number has now grown f to more than three and a half milt lion. Temperance advocates point out ‘ that the tax exemption allowed on bome-brew liquor represents an annual loss of 20 billion francs ($5,714,285) in excise revenue. In addition, they -say, there is an incalculable amount of tax revenue lost as a result of illegal practices. A liter (about a quart) of home brew liquor, NCDAA officials declare, costs approximately 150 francs (42 cents) to-produce. A liter bottle of applejack is sold in stores at 775 francs (about $2.20), out of which the govern- * ment takes 540 francs about $1.25) * in taxes. , This margin between the home- j ; brew and legal price on liquor is . attractive enough to Induce large- > scale “moonshining,” according to ! Andrew Monnier, publicity direcf tor for NCDAA. ! Monnier, who himself won't turn f down an occasional glass of wine, ! said the committee does not aim f to bring prohibition to France. Drink Most f “What we are trying to do is to / break the Frenchman from his i f habit of needing alcohol several i times a day,” he said. J “We are the people who drink f the most alcohol on earth. It is I J not uncommon for a Frenchman f to start his day with a shot of' J liquor or a glass of wine before | breakfast, jujst as an Englishman J has his early cup of tea. r “Then at 11 a.m., he has his J 'aperitif, * then wine at lunch folV lowed by liquor. By 5 p.m. you { will find bars crowded with peo-jl f pie having their evening drinks * This ritual may well last for two I t hours. And then comes the wine * at dinner, followed by a nightcap * before going to bed.” J Monnier, who has visited the I if U.S. several times, observed that | P his countrymen drink “less mas-1 if sively” than Americans, but are.j J making it a constant practice. ’T if “We practically soak ourselves : p in alcohol,” he said. v Keller School { RERUN (INS) — A school iu if West Berlin has Wen named jf Helen Keller, according to the if Berlin Tourist Office. At a gala * ceremony, the school for deaf and i if mute pupils on Pestalozzl Street; jf received the name of the fame* J American because "herself being! I deaf, mute and blind, contributed; t with her work and example to her f fellow’-sufferers taking their hard f destiny with patience and grace.” ! Eating Better J NEW YORK (INS) — American t cats never had it so good. Accord f ing to a recent nation wide study . « by American Can Company, the J 27 million .cats in the United . t -States are eating more prepared J food than ever before. The survey ; f shows that 58 percent" of all catJ owners buy food expressly pre- > pared for their pets. And. although ■ *r there are about six basic prepar- j »I ed cat foods. 73 percent of the feJ line population still gets table" > left-overs as part of their staple Ji diet. t ” J
