Dear Editor:
Producers generally want to
promote the sales of their
products, The liquor industry
along with the others desires to
promote the sale of its wares.
This desire has led to what
many consider to be a
dangerous half-truth. The
liquor industry continually
presents a picture of attractive,
well-dressed young people en-
joying a moment of relaxation
along with the use of its
product. We'll grant that there
is an element of truth here-in
that this is the manner in
which many of the youth of our
day der enjoy a moment of
relaxation.
But this is not the whole
truth, The use of alcoholic
beverages is associated with
other situations. It is
associated with drunkenness,
highway accidents, death,
broken homes, impoverishment
etc, This is one side of the pic-
ture that is rarely if ever
aside were called in the olitne
order as previously,
The trial is expected to last
until at least next Tuesday, Mr.
Justice Thomas O. Zuber is
presiding.
The jurors, none of them
from Seaforth, are: Stanley
Pfeffers, RR 2, Clifford,
television technician; Den Roy
Jewell, Norman Ineaon, both
Clinton salesmen; Jan Austin,
RR 2, Goderich, farmer; Leslie
Sanders, Goderich, painter;
William Holmes, RR 2,
Listowel, EdWard Powell, RR
1, Wingham, both farmers;
Keith Meehan, Auburn, miner;
Frank, Rutledge, Brussels,
laborer; Douwe Wilts, RR 1,
Auburn, carpenter; Mervyn
Lobb, RR 2, Clinton, farmer;
and Paul Lassaline, RR 4,
Goderich, miner.
brought to the attention of the
general public.
I understand that in the
province of British Columbia
all liquor advertising has been
banned. In this province youth
and the public generally rise
allowed to make an open, un-
biased decision about the use of
this product. Would this not be
a saner position for our ,
province to take?
I for one would be much hap-
pier to live in a province where
my children were not constan-
tly and persistently, and right
in their own living room, din-
ned with this dangerous half-
truth. Liquor advertising
should be banned in Ontario so
that our children could make
and open, unbiased 'reponsible
decision apart from this daily,
and sometimes hourly barrage
of a dangerous half-truth.
