Mr. Lee Cowell
City Manager
City of Euless
Dear Mr. Cowell:
WAYNE L. LACAVA
PASTOR
JIM R. PURVIS
MINISTER OF MUSIC
Last Wednesday evening in a regular business conference of our church
a unanimous vote was recorded supporting the action taken by our City
Council this week in denying permission to operate a "private club" in
the City of Euless where alcoholic beverages may be kept and served.
I write this letter at the direction of our church.
We realize that many forces are behind this move to bring liquor into
our city on this basis. There are the ignorant who do not know what
the presence and consumption of liquor can do to the moral, spiritual
and economic standards of a community. There are the stubborn who will
not face the facts about the destructive power of liquor and the natural
results and consequences of an establishment such as the one proposed.
There are the foolish who do not care about the homes that are broken
and destroyed and the children whose lives and personalities are forever
warped by growing up in a home split by alcohol. Then, there are the
greedy who know all these things, but who stand to profit by the sale
of liquor; those whose pockets will be lined with the money taken from
Euless people and Euless homes.
1, and my people, intend
action and to combat the
my church can be of any
Respectfully,
W. L. LaCava
to do everything in our power to support your
forces that would corrupt our city. if I or
assistance please call on us at once.
