The Canada Temperance Act Is a restrictive measure. Prohibits sale within the county of alcohol for beverage purposes. (Individuals may buy liquor outside and have it con- veyed to their homes by com- mon carrier). Reduces sale of intoxicants. -Discourages treating. No legal sale to minors, and no legal outlets to invite illicit purchases, The C.T.A. was voted in by Huron people, L,C.A. and L.L.A. Liquor Control Act and Lic- ense Act are designed to provide for and promote sale, Provide for sale through eight different types of outlets, some of which could be established in certain Huron municipalities without a vote. Sale is increased. Ontario's liquor consumption has doubled in 10 years. These Acts encourage drink- ing to excess in beer parlors and lounges. No legal sale to minors, but they have little difficulty, the courts find, in being served in beer parlors. Under the L.C.A. (never sub- mitted to the people of Ontario) municipalities have no control over licensing. Against the Revocation PUBLISHED BY HURON g,T,A, COMMITTEE Money hard to find?

"Canada needs to borrow your money to bridge the gap between War and Peace". The Prince presented 61 medals at London on Thursday last and among those from Huron County were: Distinguished Service Or- der: G, 1W. MeTaggart, Clinton, for the late Major W. 13. McTag- gart. Distinguished Conduct Med- al, Sergeant-Major William Snell, London, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jam- es Snell, Mullett. Harvey Walker, son of George Walker, formerly of town, was chosen, as a returned soldier, to drive the car in which the Prince of Wales was driven through the city of Brantford, 40 YEARS AGO CLINTON NEWS-RECORD Thursday, October 30, 1919 Mr. and Mrs. Guy Hicks have moved in from Goderich Township and are getting nicely settled in their new home on Rattenbury Street, the residence recently pur- chased from the Hanley estate. Some time ago, Ralph Stephen- son of the Parr Line, Stanley Township, decided to leave the farm to his son and he came into Clinton and bought the residence of Ralph Tiplady, on Rattenbury Street. The •more he thought the matter over, however, the more convinced Mr. Stephenson be- came that he was too young to retire. He has now bought a fine fifty-acre farm next to his own on the Parr Line and, as he told the News-Record, "YOU know, I feel ten years younger since I bought that other farm," The Clinton Knitting Company has opened a branch at Owen Sound, Frank Libby, Wingham, is going up to take charge. Knitting and looping will be done at Owen Sound, the finishing at the Clin- ton factory. If there is one thing on which Canadians pride themselves, it is their lack of racial prejudice, their "tolerance". Perhaps that's why the Toronto papers, with a fine show of indignation, gave a big play to the recent rejection of a Negro girl by a university girls' sorority. * 4' Beating their drums and their breasts with equal fervour, the Toronto dailies turned loose re- reporters on evry aspect of the story, dragged in sociologists and anthropologists to write articles, and created a fine fury. For a- bout three days, * After that, apparently satisfied that they had struck a mighty blow against race prejudice, the papers went back to their normal round. They had appeased their liberal-minded readers, they had declared that we'll 'ave none o' that there 'ere, and that was the end of the matter. The truth is, anyone who is not deaf and blind knows well, that Canadians are just as preju- diced as the next fellow, when it comes to race, colour or religion. They are not so violent about it as some other peoples, but it is there, it is unmistakeable, and it is widespread. * Don't worry, I'm not going to try to solve the whole problem in the space of this column. But let's not kid ourselves. Let's not look across the border with a holier- than-thou attitude. Let's not pre- tend that this is one country in which everybody hat the same op- portunity, regardless of his relig- ion or the colour of his skin. 1 * It just isn't so, If my name is Klein., I've got to be twice as smart as McLean, to get at far, If my skin is black, I've got to be an Oscar Peterson to get out of the Pullinan. porter economic bracket. And even if I'm pure white and Protestant and my grandfather came to Canada 80 years ago, if my name's Podrinski or Soychuck, I'm on the outside looking in, * * Ask the Negro from. Michigan or Ohio what happened when he made a reservation at an Ontario tourist resort. He arrived, was black, had black children, and the proprietor told him, with the ut- most regret, that he must have got the reservation mixed up, and he didn't have a thing left, but if he went on a piece, he'd be sure to find Something nice, It happens every sampler. CLINTON NEWS-RECORD 11041.01w. November 1, 1931 The seventh annual County Championship Public Speaking Contest and fourth annual Spell- lag Match were coiducted in the auditorium of Clinton Collegiate Institute on Saturday afternoon, On Friday evening, the CDCI held, their first Literary meeting in the form of a Hallowe'en party, A large number of pupils took part in the costume parade, mak- ing it a real success. Rose Middle- ton and Charles 1Viutch of Second Form gave a short dialogue; five girls dressed as the Dionne quin- tuplets sang a chorus; a dialogue was given by Gertrude Holmes, Erma ...Hale and Jack West of First Form. How to end the depression: en- courage building operations and exempt new buildings from taxa- tion. This involve no in- crease in taxation, no government interference with private enter- prise, and will be the only ration- al way to solve the unemploy- ment problem which has existed since the depression began in 1929. 10 YEARS AGO CLINTON NEWS-RECORD Thursday, October 37, 1949 John W. Nediger, well-known native Clintonian, has gone into business for himself, having pur- chased the coal and wood busin- ess which for the past few years has been successfully operated by James E. Johnston. Clinton's new fire truck — a combination pumper, hose and ladder truck — arrived in town Saturday morning and already is standing by in case of fire. The equipment was manufactured by Bickle-Seagrave Limited, Wood- stock, and is mounted on a Chev- rolet three-ton truck. The Fire Chief stated that the members of the Fire Brigade were all de- lighted with the new equipment, and he considered it would fill the bill very well in a community this size. Clinton Court of Revision for 1949 was the largest held here in several years. Two full evenings —Monday and Tuesday—were not sufficient to hear all the appeals and pass decisions on them, so next, November 1, will be requir- that a third evening, Tuesday I ed to dispose of the list, Those are just examples, not far-fetched. It's funny when you think of it, when you remember where the ancestors of us Anglo- Saxon, white, Christian, prejudic- ed Canadians came from. I fancy there were more shanties, crofts, and slums in the background than there were manor houses, * * How did we get this way? The Irish aren't prejudiced, Except a- gainst Catholics or Protestants, as the case may be. The Scotch aren't prejudiced. Except against the English. And the English cer- tainly aren't prejudiced against anybody. Except the Yanks. Now, you'll notice I haven't said Canadians are intolerant. Preju- diced, yes, but not intolerant. Oh, we're tolerant. Tolerant means "put up with". We put up with the niggers and kikes, the wogs and hunkies, and chinks and frogs. We don't accept them. * The sooner the word "toler- ance" is kicked out of the racial problem jargon, and replaced by the word "acceptance", the better, Who elected us, or anybody else, to "tolerate" other human beings. The arrogance of it! • * Despite what I've said, I have high hopes for Canada. The old religious bitterness between the French and English-speaking Can- adians is mellowing. There is a minority, but a vocal and intelli- gent one, of liberal citizens who are not afraid to attack prejudice wherever it appears. * In the service clubs and the Canadian Legion, there are no colour, religious or racial bars. There has been a heavy influx of new people from Europe to break down the old, and artificial, preju- dices. • * But most important, the preju- dices of Canadians are only skin- deep. They are not based on a century of fear and mistrust and violence, as are the feelings of whites in the southern states and Africa. They are bated solely on ignorance, * * There is a basic decency in the Canadian people, a casual reaCii- nets to accept a man for what he is and what he can do, Given a chance, this will break through the thin crust of prejudice that we have inherited or developed, and will make this land what it must be -a country where bunilan beings are accepted, not "toler- ated", regardless of colour or creed.
