Inscriptions Printed in image on recto, BC: (PD 1) PORTLAND, ORE., March 18 -- BOOZE BOTTLES IN THE PULPIT -- Parishioners attending services at the Bethany \ Community Church Sunday got the message from the Rev. Paul W. Sweet from behind this array of beer, wine and \ spirits bottles and cans. There were 1472 of them picked up by the pastor and two of his parishioners from a \ two-mile stretch of road in his parish. The point of his message was the need for people to accept the res- \ ponsibility of drinking such beverages in places where they do not become a danger to other motorists. The \ section of road is not a main highway, rather a scenic route drive. (AP WIREPHOTO) e21430 mbr/ogn bcn (1963)
