A law that “lets Huron County
teen-agers drink beer and liquor
without fear of conviction” was
blasted by Goderich .Mayor J.
E. Huckins at a recent council
meeting in the county town.
The mayor described the Can
ada Temperance Act as “the sil
liest piece of legislation ever
placed on the books.”
“We don’t have any liquor
laws here at all!” he exclaimed’.
Taking issue with this state
ment, Couricillor C. M. Robert
son insisted, “There’s a law that
people cannot buy or sell liquor
in Huron' County."
But the mayor said that, as far.
as he could see, there might as'
well be not laws at all if
couldn’t enforce them.
To Councillor Robertson, the
mayor said,: “How would *<«•
like to be a police officer
have a. definite case, then have it thrown out in court?”
Mayor Huckins then referred*
to a recent Goderich court case’
where five teen-agers, including
a girl Of 17 and another of 19,- had
gone to Grand Bend and one
member of the party had pur
chased three and a half cases of
beef.
Though the facts had been
proved in court, a conviction
could not Lt registered ‘in the
case, said the mayor.
“When the youngsters now
know you can buy beer in Grand
Bend and bring it in here with
out fear of conviction, then do
you still say we have a law?”,
asked the mayor.
Under the Canada Temper
ance Act, councillors noted it is
possible to give another- person
an order for beer and have that
person bring, it in to you from
Grand Bend. This is legal, but
it is illegal for a person to bring
beer into the county for his per
sonal or family use. It had been
you
you
and
said, the mayor commented, that
.almost all local people Who drink
have broken this law at one time
or another.
! “1think the police magistrate
thinks the same aS I do,” stated
Mayor Huckins. "It’s the silliest
piece of legislation that was ever
placed’ on the books.”
• The mayor said he had been
reluctant to make these state
ments, but he was concerned
aborit"the teen-agers and he .felt
it was time someone spoke up
about the shortcomings of the
CTA.
Reeve .T. H. Graham stated!
"As I understand it, the Town
of Goderich can’t get a vote
without going to the county.”
Mayor Huckins: “That’s right.
It seems discriminatory.”
/Reeve Graham: “My opinion
is, if the town voted, it would
go , wet. But if the whole county
voted, it would, stay as. dry as it
is now.
"Of course, that’s 'not very
dry!” he added as an after
thought.
The mayor commented further,
“If’ people want to maintain a
law like that, then they get
what’s comin? to them, but I’m
sorry for the young people who
are being exposed to great tern-'
tation.”
The Counties of Huron and
Perth Are the only counties in
Ontario where the CTA is valid.
The rest of the province is gov
erned by the Ontario Liquor Con
trol- Act.
