Funds raised in Huron are used
to finance three important Phases
of cancer work: research, welfare
services and education.
During 1959, over $2,500 was
spent to provide vital services to
patients in Huron. These includ-
ed dressings, transportation and
boarding room care for clinic pa-
tients, nursing services, pain-re-
lieving drugs and ether essentials,
The unit spent $7$0 meets ed-
ucation program, designed to
make Huron citizens aware of the
danger signals of cancer. This is
a vital phase of the unit's activ-
ities because much of the suffer-
ing from cancer can be avoided if
the disease is -diagnosed in its
early stages,
In 1959, Huron unit forewarded
$13,000 to provincial headquarters
to help finance extensive resear-
ch projects'. Some• of the most en-
couraging of these are being con-
ducted by university scientists at
London.

pose of unmolested consumption
and the many evils attendant up-
on such lack of 'control.
. . ,'the electors of Huron, given-
the opportunity, chose the legal
control of ,our sound Ontario laws
by a vote of 12,157 to 7,391. Out
of 24 polls represented by cor-
porate municipalities, towns and
townships, 18 recorded to be rid
of The Canada Temperance Act.
Let me emphasize this once
more—these jurisdictions had ex-
perienced for too long, a situation
almost out of control, if you' wish,
and they chose the legal control
provisions of our provincial laws.
Mr. Whicher (Bruce): Would
the hon. member permit a ques-
tion?
Mr. MacNaughten: No, I am al-
most through.
May I add in closing, Mr.
Chairman, that since revocation
was proclaimed by the federal
authority, we have had an op-
portunity to •witness a different
picture entirely. This prompts me
to say that the people of Huron
and Perth recognized—since the
vote and more particularly since
the revocation of the former legis-
lation—that our provincial laws in
this respect, while they probably
are not perfect, are much more to
be desired than any foim of legis-
lation which would tend to reduce
their effectiveness.
Now, Mr, Chairman, it is my
contention, arid my sincere belief,
that this is a problem which has
only been scratched at, the sur-
face of it has only been scratched.
It is a social problem and it has
been a problem for decades—cen-
turies, if you wish.
Meanwhile, Mr, Chairman, may
I say only that, •until we find some-
thing better in an intelligent, de-
termined effort for improvement,
let us have no relaxation of the
present controls as they exist in
this province today.
Mr. Whicher: Mr. Chairman, I
would like to ask the hon. member
a question. It is simply this. Did
the people of Huron and Perth
vote for the present liquor laws
of the province of Ontario, or did
they Vote against The Canada
Temperance Act?
Mr. MacNaughton: Mr. Chair-
man, they were offered a choice.
Mr. Whicher: It would be either
yes or no. They voted for The
Canade Temperance Act or against
it,
Mr. IVIacelaughten: They, voted
for legal control, Mr. Chairman,
that is my answer to the hon. mem-
ber, They voted for legal control
whith they did not have before—
and Which prompted me to say,
and I hope he heard ine—that we
should at least retain the control
Measures we have now without
any relaxation of them, and im-
Preve them from there on 'if we
can.
I might add, before I sit doWn,
the hem member Can make as good
a contribution to that situation as
anybody, instead of the type of
criticism we have heard from the
Opposition benches today.
Mr. Whicher: Well, Mr, Chair,.
Mae, 1 might say that when t
want any advice from the lion,
member, 1C will cask for it.

The Act, which was originally
known as The Scott Act, was sus-
pended for a";shert period in fav-
our of The Ontario Temperance
Act, which completely forbids the
sale of liquoz, and this was the
only basis upon which The Canada
Temperance Act or The Scott Act,
as it was then known, could be
suspended only in favour of a more
restrictive Act.
However, Mr. Chairman, in
1934, or thereabouts, the then Lib-
eral government of the day decid-
ed their regulations superseded the
federal 'law, and it was again sus-
pended until 1946,' at which time
the Privy Council of England, in
one of their last decisions, sus-
tained The Canada Temperance
Act. This Act remained in effect
until January 15, 1960, at which
time it was revoked by Royal proc-
lamation,
Also, may I point out to Hon.
members that, under The Canada
Temperance Act, about the only
basic area of enforcement was con-
cerned 'with the legal sale of al-
cohol in any form. There were
no effective restrictions prohibit-
ing importation into these coun-
ties, and absolutely no restrictions
to prevent consumption anywhere
by anyone. Minors, when they
obtained it, could drink it with
immunity and did just that.
In all too many circumstances,
constituted authority had little or
no Means of enforcing any type
of control whatever, to the point
where, in many situations, these
jurisdictions-provided almost com-
plete immunity to those who in-
vaded the areas for the sole pur-

one stipulation that "no :person
shall carry fire cr• live coals in or

There are firm regulations .ag,
