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 And people are saying, “Away with the C.T.A.; if it is repealed this will not happen again.”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.
