Jack Norton (September 2, 1882 – October 15, 1958) was an American stage and film character actor who appeared in 184 films between 1934 and 1948, often playing drunks, although in real life he was a teetotaler.
The main issue that has been addressed in this “purification” is the drinking of alcohol by Christians, the translator believing that Christians should be teetotalers.
It was reported that a number of local worthies were in line for consideration including Mr E Talbot, a member of the local school board, Alderman J Anty of Batley (described as an extreme teetotaler), Mr G Thorpe a director of the Cooperative Wholesale Society, Mr J Brown a chemical manufacturer from Savile Town and Mr W Wilson JP, a card manufacturer from Mirfield.
Before D-Day, to avoid having it confiscated he used the footlocker of his tee-totaling friend Richard Winters to store his stash.
