“A M.lX.E. Of H««ting Satisfaction'*

WHY blame THE C.T.A.
Three young men were killed
in 'a motor accident in Huron
County. They had been drinking.
They were minors. And people
are saying, “Away with the
C.T.A.; if it is repealed this will
not happen again.”
How utterly stupid can we be?
It could not have been the fault
of the C.T.A, When there is
avarice or brutality we do not
say, “We’ll scrap the Golden
Rule.” Let us lay the blame
where it ought to be laid—upon
greed, selfishness and the drink
habit.
When people wish to discredit
a good law they will take unfair
advantage. The L.C.A. does not
prevent drinking in general or
drinking by minora, lit does not
prevent accidents due to drinking drivers; hut nobody questions
the validity of the L.C.A.
Let us be sensible and above
all let us be fair. The C.T.A. is
good legislation. What it needs
is more support and less criti
cism, more realism and less
theorizing, more boosts and less
knocking. (adv’t)
