Explained at Meeting Of United Church Men (continued from page one) purchase has been Made before delivery, and as long as the liquor is to be used in the home for per- sonal or family use, QUESTION', What is the situa- tion under the Liquor Control Act? ANSWER: Under t h e LOA. premises are provided for drinking. Warehouses and liquor stores exist where purchases can be made. The liquor must he purchased and tak- en home. People can't drink in public places, except in licensed premises. In Oxford some areas are "dry", Liquor can't be sold in these areas, but it can be con- sumed in residences, Special per- mits can be had for special events. QUESTION: Do minors obtain drinks• illegally under the LCA? ANSWER; Yes, some. The pol- ice authorities are trying to stamp it out. They do their best? QUESTION; What about minors under the CTA,? ANSWER: There is no specific mention of minors in the CTA, The sale of liquor to' children up to the age of 16, can be prosecuted under the charge of "contributing to juvenile delinquency." But' un- der the CTA nothing can be done. Then from 16• fo. 21, minors are not considered, and no prosecutions can be levied against person selling to them. QUESTION: It is generally be- lieved that the CTA has• some weaknesses. How can we amend it? • ANSWER: No doubt there are some changes which could be made to improve the Act. We, as law- yers, are engaged in the defense or prosecution of persons charged under the law and making judge- ments on cases before us under the law. We do not have a hand in making the laws; we do not ev- en have a vote. QUESTION: How can there be "bottle clubs" under the MA.? ANSWER: They operate due to the fact that the CTA provides that liquor can .be brought in to a person for his own personal or family use. It does not say that liquor must be held on the prem- ises of the home. Under the LCA county any intoxicating liquor." There are two offences: selling, and bringing it in, Lignor may 'be brought in to any person for their own or family use, providing they pay for it be- fore it is brought in, At the time the Act was passed there were no cars, and the only way of bringing in was by express, A person went to the express office, paid their money, and then the 'railroad could bring the liquor in to him. But the liquor cannot be brou- ght in for any other use, nor for sale. Most prosecutions have been for keeping for sale. In 1948 there was prosecution * of a man who was found to be bringing in beer. Asked why, the man > thought he was giving the right answer. He said he was bringing it in for himself. That Was the wrong answer. He was convicted, Someone else could have been 'bringing in the beer for his own use, but not by him for his own use. The case was ap- pealed, but the conviction was up- held. Actually the CTA says there can be no appeal, The court knew that at the time, but felt that with the case before them they would make a statement, and that, was that the conviction was proper. The CTA wording rules out the treating or supply of liquors to guests, even of a supply of liq- uor legally purchased. Of later years a more broad interpretation has beep, applied to the term "'family use," and now the supply to guests in the ordinary form of hospitality, is not considered a contravention of the Act. But, if the supply of liquor to a guest is done to further business aspira- tions, then this does amount to a contravention. Actually a person can be •con- victed of keeping for sale, selling or stocking of premises, even if they have never sold. QUESTION: Is it legal for a vehicle belonging to ' a .beverage firm to drop off liquor? ,ANSWER: Yes, as long as the Midget Wrestling Earth's Famed Mighty.

Then when a group forms a club, all direa it to that club, and they are entitled to drink there. But they must drink their own. The operator of the club be- comes only a steward for his mem- bers to drink, on his premises. But if any member treats another. But is a contravention of the Act. Some 60> or 70 of these bottle clubs have been opened in the area, but most of them have closed. There does not seem to be enough people willing to pay the steward's charges just to drink their own liquor. Under the CTA a man may drink anywhere as long as he does not create a disturbance. Under the LCA you drink only in your residence or on licensed premises. 'You cannot drink on the street or in a public place whether or not you create a dis- turbance. QUESTION: What is the status of drinking in a car? ANSWER: Under the LCA a car is considered a public place. You can drink only in your home, or on licensed premises. It is possible to prosecute if a person is 'found drinking in a car, In the counties of ' Huron and Perth, there is no way;, either un- der the Canada Temperance Act, net' under the Highway Traffic Act, for prosecution of a person drinking in a car by the side of the road. There is no provision for such prosecution. Under the LCA it is an offence to be in a state of dunkeness in a public place. Under the CTA it is no offence RAILWAY TIME TABLE CHANGES per se. But there is possibil- ity of laying a charge of creating a public nuisance. The CTA is silent on the offence of drunken- ness. QUESTION: Is there a limit to the amount of purchases made? ANSWER,: Under the CTA there is no limit, except that an exces- sive amount would indicate that it was not for personal use. QUESTION: Do the Ontario° Provincial Police have the author- ity to stop and search a suspected car? ANSWER: There is some differ- ence of opinion. Cars were not known in 1878, and so they were not included. However, there are ways and means of stopping a car legally, and conducting an inves- tigation. QUESTION: What action can be taken against bootleggers? ANSWER.: If the Ontario Prov- incial Police are informed of the source of liquor sale, and good grounds are furnished, then a search warrant can be issued, An- onymous letters are' not consider- ed proper cause fora search. Ex- treme care must be taken, and a firm foundation•is required, before Police will prbleed with a search. It could be an embarrassing thing for an innocent party, if the sear- ch were unfounded. QUESTION: What are the pen- alties of bootlegging, or having for sale? ANSWER: Under the CTA the first offence earns a fine of not Jess than $50 and not more than $100, or failing to pay, imprison- ment of dot over one month. The second offence, and each one fol- lowing, results in imprisonment not exceeding four months. This is the deterrent. Not many boot- leggers Will proceed to their sec- ond offence. Under the LCA the penalty for selling illegally is imprisonment of from two to six months for the' first offence, and on the second offence, not more than six months. QUESTION: The incidence of al- coholicsm in Huron County has CWL Will Help With Campaign. For Cancer Funds St. Joseph's Parish 'Catholic Women's League held their mon- thly meeting on April 1, 1957.

Games of bingo were played by the members at the conclusion of the sale. N \ • Legion. Auxiliary.

Two very enjoyable evenings were spent recently, The first was the 12th birthday party at Kincardine, and the second a soc- ial evening at Hensel'. The mystery prize draw was won by Mrs. William Jervis. Fol- lowing the meeting, a delicious lunch, served by Mrs. H, Hart- ley's group was enjoyed by every-, one, been compared with counties gov- erned under the LCA,. It has been computed that there are 750 alto- I holies , per 100,000 persons and in other counties, the number is 2,210 per 100,000. ANSWER: The other counties considered in that particular leaf- let, include the six largest cities in the province. It is not fair to compare these areas with the rural area of Huron County. Those who put out this sort of material are doing themselves incomparable harm. I'd like to see , how we compare with Bruce, Oxford or even Lamb- ton. After an,• you don't compare the use of cars, or anything else in our rural county, with that of Toronto. It could be assumed that cities have a higher incidence of alcohol- ism than do the rural areas. BANG. • Don't drive'ejn until it's TOO LATE!
