• Blinded war heroes were angry when a homosexual club opened next door and applied for a drinks licence. The veterans were supported by more than 700 local people, who signed a petition, fearing drunken homosexuals would roam the streets near the club and be a moral danger to the public.
• Yesterday, Sheriff John Mowat at Glasgow Sheriff Court refused the homosexuals a drinks licence for their club in Queen's Crescent, Woodside, Glasgow, solely on the grounds that, at the time of the application, the club had not been properly formed and did not have any official members.
