FIRST VOTE ON CIA QUESTION
IN 45 YEARS NOVEMBER 30.
Next Monday, November 30 the
whole County of Huron is voting
on the question of Revocation of
the 81 year old Canada Temper.
ance Act,
Those eligible to vote are all
persons over 21 years of age who
have resided in the county since
October 7, 1050.
Travellers and those who are
employed by railroads and in
transportation industries may vote
at the advance poll which will be
held in Goclerich Thursday, Fri-
day and Saturday of this week.
Hours during which the advance
poll is open are from 2 to 10
pan. each of these days,
Persons missed in the enumera-
tion mid thus left off the voters
list may still vote by taking an
oath at the poll provided they
otherwise qualify.
The ballot reads "FOR THE
REVOCATION" in the top space—
a plain X in pencil in this space
indicates the voter's desire for
repeal of the CTA. Those who
wish to retain the Act will place
their X in the lower space.
During recent weeks the cam-
paign has created considerable
interest, The pro-CTA group has
introduced statistics in their effort
to establish that Huron is a low-
consumption area so far as alco-
holic beverages are concerned.
They maintain that because no
legal outlets are permitted under
the CTA, liquor may be considered
"out of sight—out of mind".
The repeal group has strongly
challenged this view. They point
out that there are innumerable
illegal outlets in Huron which dis-
pense otherwise legal products un-
der undesirable conditions, at ex-
cessive prices and •,11 far greater
volume than most people are
aware. This is borne out by sur-
veys which are readily available
but not usually made public. Each
purchaser must give his home ad-
dress when he makes a purchase
in a government liquor store or
brewers retail store.
Many people are unaware that
under the CTA it is illegal to bring
in liquor personally, The only
method is by messenger or licens-
ed carrier.
According to legal opinion the
CTA does not permit a person to
serve liquor to guests in his home,
unless they are members of his
own family. It Is well known
that this rule is 'broken by prac,0 tically everyone who buys liquor regularly or occasionally, unless he
happens to be a recluse.
The Huron Citizens Legal Con-
trol Committee hes maintained a
policy in their publicity of pre.
smiting the facts and leaving the decision entirely up to the voters,

In The Public Interest
They Speak for Themselves
Serious Mistake to Retain CIA
(Elmer Bell, Q.C., of Exeter — Reported in Exeter Times-Advocate, November 19,
"The people of Huron County will make a serious mistake if they
do not get rid of the CTA on November 30," Mr. Bell stated. "In my
opinion it is the worst piece of legislciticin ever devised in Canada. We
cannot afford to have this act any longer on the statute books."
The Exeter lawyer emphasized that the only outlet which can be
established without a vote in some municipalities is the gov't retail store
and it would not be opened unless the municipal council concerned pas-
sed a resolution requesting it. The other public liquor outlets would have
to be voted in by the people.
1959)
Respect for Law
(Don Southcott, Editor, Exeter Times-Advocate, November 19, 1959)
"This is an important point. Under CTA there is little or no respect
for law and law enforcement officials, particularly among the young, im-
pressionable age group. This it not the case in LCA areas.
"I speak from experience for I, too, have lived under both laws. I
spent three of my late teen years under LCA and I can tell you there
was no laughing at, thumbing noses at, or ridicule of, police and the
liquor laws among the young people with whom I was associated then.
"You may minimize this point but I suggest to you that any law
which creates disrespect for our system of justice does our democracy a
great harm."

Deny Amendments Promised
To Canada Temperance Act
(London Free Press, November-21, 1959)
"Two Federal Cabinet Ministers said yesterday they have made no
undertaking that amendments are forthcoming to the Canada Temperance
Act which would make it more effective for the control of liquor."
Double Standards
(Quoted from on Editorial in The Huron Expositor, November 19, 1959)
"What is more important than a discussion of the readiness with
which liquor may be obtained are the double standards that are being
created in the minds of an entire generation, and the resulting disrespect
for law and authority which arises."
Alcoholism in Huron County
(Alcoholism Research Foundation, November 19, 1959)
"There are definitely no statistics on alcoholism by county in Ontario!'
Engine in the rear?
Why, of course!
American and European automobile
Manufacturers have now adopted the
sound principle of the rear-mounted
engine. Something once considered.
'unorthodox is now recognized as plain
engineering common sense.
You see,. Volkswagen's rear engine
gives direct drive to the wheels, saving
weight and power. It is the most efficient
and economical design. And the rear
engine gives your rear wheels better
fraction. In mud, sand, ice, snow, where
other cars skid, you go.
What is more, the Volkswagen engine
b air-cooled, a decided advantage
when you think about it. No water to
boil over in summer, or to freeze in
winter. No anti-freeze needed. No
radiator problems.
The engine is ingeniously cast of alum!.
num and magnesium alloys and is very
light and powerful; undoubtedly the
toughest 198 lbs. going.
It is beautifully machined for minimum
friction; you will probably never heed
Oil between changes. And so efficient
that top and cruising speeds are the
same. Your Volkswagen will run at 70
tn.p.h. all day without strain. You get
oh honest 39 miles to the gallon (regular
gas—regular driving).

Effective Control in Peel
(Peel County Abandoned the CTA 6y Vote in 1951)
Toronto Township Police Chief Garnet McGill, in a Statement Dated November 17, 1959
"All Police Departments in the County of Peel are more satisfied
under the Liquor Control Act, as all phases for effective control are in-
cluded in the Liquor Control Act."
Conditions in Grand Bend
(By incorporating as a village and joining Lambton County, Grand Bend came under
the Liquor Control Act)
J. H. Dalton, Reeve of Grand Bend, October 16, 1959
"When the CTA in its present form was in force here our big prob-
lems arose from the fact that the CTA did not prohibit the consumption
of alcoholic beverages on the streets, in public places or in automobiles.
Also, because there was no provision in the Act to convict on a charge
of drunkenness, drunkenness became very prevalent on the streets and
became uncontrollable under existing legislation (the CTA). A girl, or a
group of girls, could not walk on any of our streets, particularly at night,
without being subjected to insult, profanity and even attack.
"Since the Liquor Control Act has been in force here it has pro-
vided the means of combatting the above problems."
