Teachers Meet The Voice Of Temperance A Bruce County paper brings the news of drunkeness at dan ces. It is so bad that the editor writes about it. He wants young people to have a good time but points out that drinking ruins the party. There isn’t much fun in seeing young men sprawled out on aptlie dance floor dead drunk. The writer of this paragraph wouldwpoint out that this hap pened in Bruce County where the Ontario liquor control act is in force. With its authorized outlets and with its advantages for law enforcement it has not solved tA| problem of alcohol. We still maintain that the Cana da Temperance Act is a better measure. We join with the Bruce County editor in pleading with our young people not to let liquor turn their dances into drunken brawls. —Advt. Business Directory DR. H. H. COWEN L.D.S., D.D.S.
