Leslie McDougall and Alvin Stacey. 12rrb Evidence is to hand that these Hur on County "Voices” are read beyond our County boundaries. A beautiful little Northwestern Ontario town less than 2,000 population is bedevilled by drink. It is in L.C.A territory and is amply supplied with legal liquor out lets. They have two beverage rooms, a government liquor store, and a brewers’ warehouse. A small group of citizens, greatly concerned at the de plorable conditions, met some time ago to do something. At the first meeting this column in Huron County Weeklies was referred to, and a simi lar plan was launched. A few of the group chipped in to pay for the first insertions, but later fees were accept ed to defray expenses. This local temperance league is increasing in membership and is working beyond its town limits. One of the group writes, "We have always been wet, a hang-over from old timber days. We had at one time seven sawmills here. I personally know conditions in Blank (a small Huron County town), I lived there 14 years. Conditions are better there than here as regards drinking. We have a run of petty police court cases that Blank is free from, or mostly so.” Surely such testi mony should have Weight with us. We are under the Canada Temperance Act which allows no legal outlets for the sale of beverage alcohol. The Courts have frequently complimented us on our comparative freedom from crime, of which the chief contributing factor Is drink.—Advt. 19b < UPHOLSTERING IN THE ESTATE OF JOSHUA A. HOWES, DECEASED.
