The seeming paradox of the Canada Temperance Act which makes it legal for a person to take a drink ip Public holds no worries for temperance advocates in Huron County where the act is in force. Delegates to the recently-conclud­ ed Huron County Temperance Fed­ eration meeting were told that the C.T.A.. may be credited with "at least 75 per cent, reduction of the evils of liquor traffic.” The following resolutions were ad­ opted; Resolved: That we ask the Ontario Temp­ erance Federation to take steps to the end that the amount of ,food stuffs, sugar and grain, used in the manufacture of intoxicating liquors be drastically reduced see­ ing that food is in short supply and millions are hungry. That we assure the Attorney General of this Province of its gratification over .his declared pur­ pose that the measures of the Canada Temperance Act shall be enforced in this County. That we urge the Attorney Gen­ eral’s .Department of this Province to take more drastic action against drinking car drivers, i.e., to inflict more severe penalties when con­ victing. That we remind the Attorney General of this Province that thd liquor interests are carrying on a very subtle advertising campaign under the guise of a public service and .that a protest be lodged against such advertising as both illegal and detrimental to the cause of Temperance. That we instruct that a letter of commendation be sent to the members .of he Ontario Provincial Police in Huron County congratu­ lating them on having effected im­ provement in the matter of law enforcement and the lessening of lawlessness. That we request all its mem­ bers to send to the office of the Ontario Temperance Federation all authentic information in regard to any infraction of the Canada Temperance ~Act in Huron County. That ,we "firing to the attention of all representatives of this coun­ ty in both parliaments that this county is under a restrictive Tem­ perance law and that it is expect* ed of .them that they will loyally support such county legislation. That we assure the Premier of this Province of its awareness that the highest prerogative of his office js to promote ,the public good rather than to increase the Province’s revenue and that he be encouraged to give the most ser­ ious consideration to that primary responsibility. That we go on record as that every increase in the of outlets for the sale of cants is accompanied by crease in bootlegging, ance, waste, traffic accidents and crime and that for the public good the Premier of this Province and his Attorney General be urged to plan for the reduction and not the increase of outlets. i That we request all ministers in the county to urge church mem­ bers and adherents to abstain from the use of intoxicating bev­ erages and to resist the pressure of the growing custom of social drinking, That we petition the Minister ofi Finance of .the Dominion Govern­ ment to lighten the tax burden of the public by levying higher taxes on the enormous profits of the brewing industry. That we .assure the Ontario Temperance Federation and Dr, DeMille and staff of its apprecia­ tion of the leadership being given in the cause of Temperance and in spite of heavy odds. That we express to Mr. Cooper its hearty thanks for his wise and alert guidance through many years also to Mr. Lloyd for Jils devotion' to the cause while in the Presi­ dent's chair also to Rev. his board foi* the use church.

The statements were referred to the finance committee. Mr. Erskine said the committees had in general lived within their estimates. The county home will exceed its bud­ get but when the new building is transferred to capital account, a surplus will be shown, The cost of operating both the Children’s Aid Society and the county home is increasing rapidly. The cost of maintenance in bach of these branches is reflected mat­ erially in the advanced cost of liv­ ing. Hospitalization costs for the county are increasing due to an in­ creased number of patients in hos­ pitals, over the three month perion. Administration of justice is down this year due to the provincial pol­ ice replacing the county force, and few cases. Townships that have en­ tered school areas will find a dup­ lication of cost for the year, as they ate paying up for 1947' in 1948, making a difference of half a mill. Among the more important cor­ respondence read 'by Clerk N. W. Miller and referred to committees were the following resolutions from Perth County petitioning the Ontar­ io Government to make available to farmers and livestock breeders, feed grain of such standard and price to give suitable remuneration as to be an inducement to keep the product­ ion of farm products at the pre­ sent or higher levels: from the County of Simcoe requesting the Department of Health to give con­ sideration to the erection of more hospitals for incurables in the pro­ vince; fyom Welland County ask­ ing the Provincial Government to nv-umo the total cost of odnca- l tion.
