Your Casing Headquarters
Editor, Exeter Times,
Dear Sir;
The Huron County Council
has by resolution at its last
meeting undertaken to deal with
the Canada Temperance Act, an
act which has been in force in
Huron since 1913.
As President of Huron County
Temperance Federation, the or
ganization which inaugurated
the campaign to bring the C.T.A.
into operation, may I be allowed
to state a few facts:
The County Council had no
thing to do with bringing this
act into force and has no place
in having it set .aside. The proce
dure to bring the act into force
wag initiated by the people and
can only be set aside by the
people.
Our temperance z organization
stands solidly behind the act as
the most satisfactory method
available of dealing with the
traffic. When the Government
makes a better law available we
will gladly recommend its adop
tion.
For a number of years the
C.T.A. and the Liquor Control
Act of Ontario were both en
forced by our Provincial Govern
ment, until 1947 when the
Government amended the C.T.A.
by adding a provision which
reads in part: “Section No. 165
—None of the “provisions of this
act shall apply in any area with
in the Province of Ontario in
which the C.T.A. is in force,”
It should be remembered that
the Ontario Government is sole
ly responsible for enforcing the
with other
quired to remove it.
I am of the strong opinion
that a number of County Coun
cil votes cast in favour of the
Repeal Resolution were cast
without due consideration of
what the vote implied. A lack of
awareness of the possible conse
quences is evident. My business
takes me from one end of the
Province to the other several
times each year and I have ample
opportunity to see the conditions
prevailing under the Liquor Con
trol Act. I have heard on many
occasions, in a large variety of
places, outstanding business men
condemn these conditions in the
strongest possible terms. It is
common criticism from men,
often not teetotalers themselves,
that boot-legging is rampant
under the Liquor Control Act
and futher that the curse of the
beverage room is only exceeded
by those rooms of
famy where mixed
permitted.
Let those who
Canada Temperance
of certain abuses which prevail
under it remember that our courts
high and low, from
the Province to the
the unceasing task
with law breakers
tions of all kinds of laws. The
Canada Temperance Act, in
spite of those who for their own
reasons would upset it, gives us
conditions in Huron County
very much to be preferred over
those prevailing under the Li
quor Control Act.

not be fooled. It is not those who

that the repeal of the Canada

the action of men who attempt
