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.

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
