...blocks northeast of Central Square, there's small bar and grill dubbed "The Famous." One woman who lives around the corner describes it as "our neighborhood pub, where we drop in during the afternoon, have a drink, and just talk for awhile...
Well-stocked with everything from bitter to brandy, St. Mary's pub initially drew a full house of miniskirted birds and their dates, who demurely sipped pints of beer as they listened to music by a folk-rock group. At 11, when Stacey's bar closed, the youngsters left quietly, happily-and sober. Explaining his odd addition to St. Mary's services, Stacey argued that most of the area's youth clubs have been closed down because of vandalism, and the regularly licensed pubs near the church are "revolting."

...dailies were shut down nine weeks ago over a wage dispute that shows no signs of coming to an end. For five weeks the American Newspaper Guild has been picketing Hearst's Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, but the Herald-Examiner has hired non union personnel and continues to pub lish.

During the first nine months of 1967, pub sales enjoyed a 4% increase over the same period of the previous year. But October saw a 6% slump. British brewers are now beginning to take stock, and what they see is grim indeed. Bass Charrington reported trade off by 4%. Vaux Breweries, losing money in Scotland, threatens to raise prices. Whitbread sees little prospect of improving profits in the year ahead. Bucking the Trend...
