LIQUOR STORE IN HANOVER

At the general election on the eighth of last month the townspeople of Hanover voted on the question of locating a state liquor store in town, and approved the course by almost a two to one vote. After favorable action in New Hampshire towns, however, the actual decision to locate a store rests with the State Liquor Commission, and the question concerning Hanover is now being considered by that body.

The College, whose desires in the matter would no doubt influence the commission, has not yet formed any opinion, so far as we can learn. It seems, however, that any action on their part to keep a liquor store from being placed in Hanover would be most wise and justifiable. For, as a member of the faculty pointed out to us, there is no need of shoving liquor and the idea of drinking under the underg raduate's nose. There is a store in White River and one can go and purchase the spirits freely anytime he wants them, but it's much better if there is just a little trouble connected with doing so even though it is only a matter of driving four miles. Another thing, we do not particularly like the idea of a liquor store being smacked down on Main Street between Campion's and the Post Office. Such a picture does not seem homogeneous to the atmosphere of Hanover.
