McConnell., The. chairfnan of Huron • CTA Committee, Frank R. .Howson, of Wingharn, • 'issued the following statement: ' "Insofar as our committee is. concerned, inforMatien as to the Vote came fromthe newspapers.

"There has been some confuSion as to the issue itself, and some Misinformation, so tbat it .is de- sirable, to testate briefly certain facts. The Canada ,Temperance Act is not prohibition; • it permits the bringing of liquor into the county by commbn carrier, or by an indi- vidual for persorial' or, family use. It. does forbid the sale or eXposure for sale of any, intoxicating, liquor 'within the county. It diseourages drinking by making access ,to liq-• tior less convenient. This is impor- tant in relation to formation of the habit by young.people. `!Advocates of . CTA repeal. have 'reiterated that the Act, passed . many, years ago at Ottawa; is 'out- moded'. `The .implication is that the Liquor Control Act of Ontario is not -outmoded. Newspapers all over'. Ontario • contain news head- ings on items about teen-age arinkipd, 'purchase liy" minors, raids on ,drinking parties,' and: so on—all under the Liquor. Control Ade The Chatham News said ,edi- -torially not long ' ago that 'Kent County 'has thore.bootle'ggers in h week than Huron in a -month', and that -Huron should not vote out the Canada"' Temperance Act 'under the delusion that the LCA will auto- matically rid the county of boot legging, , excessive' drinking, and drinking 'by minors.' "Certain previsions of the ,T.Aqtior Control; Act complement the CTA and would assist eriforcernent if applicable.
