The Voice
Of Temperance
An editorial in a recent issue
of the United Church Observer,
although too long to quote in
full, is well worth giving here in
part. Twenty years ago crime
in Ontario was at a very low fig
ure. According to Government
statistics for 1933 the ratio of
population per 1000 committed
for trial was 6.41 and sentenced
to prison 4.14. In 1934 there was
an improvement, 5.91 committed,
3.82 convicted. In this year the
Government announced a plan
for open sale of beer. Note the
crime record from now on. In
1936 the ration was 6.52 and
4,43. By 1939 the figures were
9,31 and 7.45. The Second World
