Alcohol Syndrome and fetal alcohol effects are preventable, the Village Board finds that it
is in the public interest to provide warning about the risk of alcohol-related birth defects at
places where alcoholic liquors are sold.
In every place in the village where alcoholic liquor is sold, there shall be displayed at all
times in a prominent place a printed card, 8-1/211 x 11" in size, which shall read
