Bottoms Up!

Letters are pouring into the office in response to the "Best Hiding Place" contest. One member, in a Victoria, British Columbia, Group, wrote that he hid his bottle under a potted palm. He reports that his wife watered the palm frequently "working havoc with the label." Another member in a Savannah, Ga., Group successfully hid the bottle in his mother-in-law's shoes. This member added that he "hid himself as often as he did his bottle, the favorite place for himself being under his mother-in-law's bed." Other interesting repositories reported to date: behind the mantlepiece; in the medicine cabinet among the prescription bottles; in the Witch Hazel bottle; under the attic flooring; in a shaving mug; in a gas mask; inside the flush tank of the water closet; behind the bath tub. A member, from a Yonkers, N. Y., Group, solved the problem of remembering where he hid the bottle by writing notes to himself in shorthand!
