Miss Murray in the chair. Mrs. Amy; opened with the devotional exercises. Three hymns were sung,’ severs? prayers were offered and the lesso®- was taken from Psalm 27. The roll 'call was answered by .-several mem­ bers giving some facts that were ap­ palling in connection with the pres­ ent temperance situation. The presi­ dent asked for a season of silent blessing might rest oh the children who are taking part, during th®' week, in the Temperance CampaigA1 that is being carried on in the 'Sun­ day schools. This was followed by prayer by Mrs. Beavers. Mrs. McTa-- vish took charge of the clip sheet, “Why Prohibition for Canada?” and1' was assisted by several of the mem- bers. Senator Sir George E. Foster^, declares that the experience of the* last hundred years’ of effort to di­ minish the evils of the liquor traf­ fic in Canadd goes to prove that only through prohibitive restrictions- has improvements been brought about arid that this improvement is in exact proportion to the increase of applied ’’prohibition. We liavsr the following facts to prove that drinking decreases with prohibition; and increases with legal sale Of al­ coholic beverages, according to the- Dominion Official Bulletin during the period of 1914-1923' through! war-time prohibition, that white’ Canada’s Prohibition increased 18! per cent.; the manufacture of spirits shrank 45 per cent; of malt liquor® shrank 34 per cent.; the imports o.C‘ spirits shrank 68 per cent.; of malK liqprs shrank 97 per cent. Sind©’ 1924 The manufacture of spirits trebled', the manufacture of ferment­ ed wines has qaudrupled and malU;iK liquors has increased from forty-four, million gallons to sixty gallons. Al­ so there has been an increase in the amount of liquor imported, mor©-- than enough to offset the amount exported. Government Control has embarrassed the big boot-legger but . 1929 seizures included 61,396 gal­ lons of spirits, 277 s.tills and tlte- bootleg trade is flourishing in every province where there is Goverrtinuntl sale, In the 1928 report the defeat- ation is made fby the Control Boatdi- that “there is,, in Ontario far morel' bootlegging on a small scale than’ there Was in 1915.”
