              Booze Shipped By Parcel Post

              CLIFTON FORGE, Va., Sept. 19- A parcel post package, somewhat damaged, was received at the Clifton Forge post office yesterday. Recognizing a familiar odor of the past, the clerk in charge investigated and found it contained three bottles of whisky, two of which had been broken in transit, thus revealing its contents. The party to whom it was addressed was sent for and denied all knowledge of the shipment, stating that he had never heard of the New York firm, which was put down as the shipper, and that he had no connection whatever with the package. The matter was reported to the chief post office inspector and it will doubtless turn out that the New York firm was a fictitious one.

Smith, will be one of only two such programs in existence in Virginia, according to Deputy Barry Rose, one of the program’s directors.
