M. Lerou of Norwich, secre- tary of the state beard of pharma said that he favored the -estriction of drug Btores and any other measure that would raise the standards of his occupation. He said that as things were at present it was impossible for a druggist fo train 4 young man entering his employ. “The young man entering a drug store today,” said he, “seldom gets away from the soda fountain and the result is that he IP.»rns very liitle about the drug busi- ness.” Mr. Lerou further said that if Con- necticut did not do something to raise the standards in the drug business many other states would refuse to honor drug- gists’ licenses issued here. At preent there was a system of reciprocity be- tween Connecticut any many other states but this could not,be kept up if we con- tinue to let booze sellers and dope mer- chants work under druggists’ licenses, he said. P. J. Garvin of Middletown and S. H. Williams of the New Haven Association of Druggists, urged the passage of the bill. Mr, Williams declared that importa- tions of opium had increased threefold since prohibition went into effect: and saig that unless this state raised the standards necerary to obtain a druggists’ license, it would become a center for il- legal traffic in booze and dope. Representative F. M. Smith of Wind ham offered the only opposition to tia bill. He said that he wished to go on record as opposing its provisions and de- clared that in his opinion not twenty- five per cent. of ihe druggists cof the state had any idea of what was being proposed in this measure.
