Your Friendly Chevrolet, Oldsmobile Dealer 482-9321 CLINTON Page 12 Clinton :News-Record Dec. 24, 1964 Clinton Bantams To Play Tonight Social, SO Not SePlabliel There is little use an C0417,• pllaining 0o41-, the tigers of putting up -my tree, the horrors of trying to find a present for My wife, the abyss oaf debt into whichPM plunging.. I knew hew much sympathy I'd get. We're all in the same boat, But with the holiday 'season corning pp, :accompanied by its. usual parties, T thought it might begood'time fer yew. friendly old uncle Bill to pause and estarnine that phenomenon of the second half of 'the 20th century-Social Pria,10hg., Social Drinking is one of those beautifully vague terms we're so fond of these days. They cover a multitude of sins, and yet, somehow, they sound respectable,. It's like "Neurotic". The lady Who is as nutty as a fruitcake will inform . you With, some pride, "I'm terribly neurotic, you know." Fifty years age, she wouldn't have announced so freely that she was batty Social drinking is similar. The fellow who is so hung- over the blood is running out his eyes, will tell you, "I'm strictly a Social. Drinker," Everytime I hear the • term Social Drinking, I utter a couple of short, barking laughs. Social Drinking is just an ex- cuse for getting plastered in public, instead of quietly and decently at home, or out behind the barn. Social Drinking and - the Cocktail Party go hand in hand A Cocktail Party is any gather- ing , of SoCial Drinkers, slopping free liquor into empty stomachs at a rate which suggests pro- hibition is about to become law within the hour. They make a gesture toward the social end of it by eating a cracker, with a dead sardine on it, with every fifth drink, Don't confuse sociable drink- ing with Social Drinking. Socia- ble drinking is a quiet glass with an old friend, by the fire; a couple of battles of cold beer, out fishing; a hot noggin, in company, after a winter's day Outside. ,But Social Drinking is a horse of- a different - hue. Ask the housewife who comes down in the morning after a .Cook-. tail Party, head 'trumping lake a bongo, ,and is confronted by ti•ig following; a eigat'.ette-hua.m.., on her new .coffeestablee pur- ee of Wiekey-and-ashes on her , white linen .tablecloth; a purple splotch on her lemon Pea:net; :2$ dirty ..glasses; a liady''S hand,bag;, a -man's .hat; 14 empty Cigarette. packages; and her hushand snoring on :the ,ohesterfield, Ask the chap who • drops in for a drink just one before facing the sponse ..apd spawn,. after work, He. gets talking, Wirth .the boys, arrives g home an hour late. He's a. little high- spirited, but scarcely a reeling drunk. Know what he gets for dinner? Cold shoulder and hot tongue. Yet all he was doing was little Social Drinking. Actually, Social Drinking was. fine, as were so many other things, before women got into the act. But then women started boozing, .and things have gone from bad to hopeless. Mixed drinking developed. And the only things worse than mixed drinking is mixing your drinks. Social drinking has all the potential destructive power of The. Bomb. It leads to broken Promises, broken ,dishes, broken noses, and broken homes. The only good things about it, and the only reason it is so pop- ular, is that it enables one to put up With the bores and boors, the. knuckleheads and knotheads, the Owes and dui-, lards, With which society seems to be infested nowdays (except for the sparkling people like you and me.) Now, I hope I haven't thrown a wet blanket on, your plans for a wet holiday season. But just to end this little homily, may I remind you the lines written in eleventeen seventy- seven by that great Welsh poet, Hugh Dunnit: If you get stinking From drinking, It isn't Social; It's atrocial. 0 Wins Turkey Shoot KIPPEN — The annual Kip- pen 'Gun Club Christmas TUr- key Shoat was won this year by John Anderson of Hensall. He scored on 46 out.of 50 shots fired at the event Sunday aft- ernoon. Bill Stewart won the two- miss-and-out event and- finished second to ,Anderson, scoring on 45 of his 50 shots.
