U.S. WINE ENVOY
IN FRANCE
The Man Who Killed' Prohibition
| Mr. C. W. Jurney, the American who "kllied" prohibition, was Inst month in France, examining the possibilities of importing Franch wines into the United States..
Mr. Jurney was president of the League Against the Volstead Act; and is now Secretary-General of the American Senale. He told a reporter in Paris that a company was now being formed in the United States for -importing French wines, and that he was 'making a preliminary investiga- tion. He has been received at the French Senate by the Senators representing the wine-growing de- partments.
:
"We cannot tell at all," he said how high American wine-imports will be."
It is not generally mown that i the banks, and sand spits of that great waterway, the Bernam River, which separates the State of Perak from Selangor, are noted "laying grounds" of the wily “mugger”, as a visit to its upper reaches Will shew, Even past Sabak Bemam in Selangor terri. tory and as far up as Changkat Mentri, the boundary between the districts of Batang Padarig and Lower Perak, are they to be seen.

Babak Bernam at that time was small sub-district of Kuala Selangor, about 40 miles, I think, from the mouth of the river, and under the charge of Inche Johar, Malay Assistant to the District Officer, Klang, as the appointment was then styled. Che Johar, now dead, was one of the finest Malay Officers it was my privilege to cet and I still cherish memories
of his many unfailing acts of courtesy and kindness on my visits to his district.
Sabak, the headquarters, stood on the river bank, and was com prised of a dozen or more wooden shop houses, the little District Office, Police Station, clerks quar- ters, and a halting bungalow that housed thousands of mosquitoes which literally few screaming at any visitor who dared 30 enter its "portals. To reach Sabak, one had to travel 14 miles by road from Teluk Arison to the village of Hu tan Melintang on the Perak side. This village consisted of a police and customs station, rest house, and a few atap "kedals" which traded in sundried copra with the riverside kampongs, and supplied them with foodstuffs etc. Motor launches were avaliable here and plied for hire between the village. the European-owned coconut estates on both banks, kampongs, and Sabak, carrying passengers and goods, the journey to the last named taking between five and six hours, the tides playing a prominent part.
