LETTER BOX
`Teen-Age Drinking
Not as Prevalent in
Jewish Community'
Editor, Detroit Jewish News:
It is regretful that parents per-
mit drinking in their homes more
than they did a few years ago.
The writer dares to say that
teen-age drinking is not the habit
of children nor of youngsters, but
the drinking customs of our pres-
ent day, particularly among the
parents where drinking appears to
have taken on dangerous and
alarming proportions.
The writer, however, can say
with pride, that to my knowledge,
there are very few Jewish homes
who are cursed with the alcoholic
habit. Jewish parents spend more
time with their youngsters and
avoid teen-age drinking.
