Milk, 'from Canadian farms, is
being distributed in remote vil-
lages and city slums, and
through school feeding programs
to hungry children „in the far
east. .
"How I wish our people back
home could see for themselves
the difference this food makes,"
said Dr. Lotta Hitschmanova,
executive director of the Uni-
tarian Service Committee, after
watching a milk distribution in
India,
"The famished youngsters lift
their precious rations to their
mouth and eat it dry. Then for
a few moments they look com-
pletely different -gayer and less
starved -as children should,"
1n the past 18 months, nearly
half a million pounds of Canad-
ian government - donated milk
powder has been shipped over -
'seas by the all -Canadian USC, at
the cost of approximately two
and a half cents a pound. To
mark its fifteenth year of serv-
ice to needy hiunanity, the
"agency with a heart" will con-
tinue shipments of food and'
clothing to areas of the world's
greatest needs.
Through the committee's u-
nique
nique "Layette Lift", 25,000 basic
layettes have been pledged to
the United Nations for Arab ref-
ugee babies, and during the past
year, compassionate mothers in
villages and towns all across
Canada have set aside garments
their own infants .have outgrown;
they have held baby showers
and collected soap, safety pins
and towels.
Through their completely vol-
untary efforts, 15,000 basic lay-
ettes consisting each of 4 diapers,
2 nightgowns, 2 jackets, 2 shirts,
1 cake of laundry soap, 1 towel
and four safety pins are now in.
the hands of grateful .refugee
mothers in the middle east. To
fulfil the pledge, 10,000 more
layettes are urgently needed.

Where was the battle of the
windmill?
Near Prescott, Ont, It was a
four-day struggle that took place
in November 1838 between the
Canadian militia and an irregu-
lar American force, composed of
members of the Hunters' Lodges,
78 Sparks Street, Ottawa, On-
tario.
Although the emergency need
for foodand clothing continues
to be vital, the USC is adding
depth and scope to its program
by earmarking a large percent-
age of its new budget for the
education and vocational train-
ing of destitute children in the
far east.
"Surely, at this crucial. point
in the world's history, a human
being, trained for leadership ,
through the goodwill contribu-
tions of our Canadian people,
will be a more effective invest
ment for peace and understand,'.

How Do You Rate
In Citizenship?
(Allow Yourself Ten Points For Each Answer)
1. Much propaganda against the Can-
, ada Temperance Act is grossly
misleading, in effect a hoped for
subtle brain washing.
TRUE 0 FALSE 0
2. The liquor interests are working
in Huron because of those who
hope to gain financially through
the repeal of this Act.
TRUE 0 FALSE 0
3. The Canada Temperance Act is a
good Act and holds promise of
being made better by amendment
through important political spon-
sorship following its being retain-
ed.
TRUE 0 FALSE 0
4. Actual experience shows requests
to the Clergy for home visitation,
because of the ravages of over' in-
dulgence in intoxicants, to be up
to thirty times greater in • areas
not under the CTA as compared to
Huron where its protection is
enjoyed.
TRUE 0 FALSE 0
5, Tax revenues from the sale of in-
toxicants are wholly inadequate to
offset the ever increasing costs of
public welfare institutions and
agencies made necessary because
of excessive indulgence in these
beverages.
TRUE ❑ FALSE 0
6. Huron has enjoyed anextent of
immunity from the devastations of
the liquor traffic unknown in
counties riot favored by the CTA's
protection.
TRUE 0 FALSE
7, The bootlegger flourishes through
the illegal sale of intoxicants.
Sales to minors are one or his
sources of revenge. The daily
news, in the last few years shows
that areas other than Huron have
had far more difficulty controll-
ing this problem than this county.
• TRUE 0 FALSE 0
8, The sale of intoxicating beverages
in Quebec operates with a mini-
mum of control. The percentage
of financial failures in Quebec is
far greater than in Ontario. The
record of Huron for ' financial
stability is enviable. It naturally
follows that money not spent for
intoxicants is available for more
useful purposes. The home bene-
fits, so does the average merchant.
TRUE 0 FALSE 0
9. While Canadians generously sup-
port many good Causes organized
for the uplift of mankind, they
•allow a minority, interested chiefly
in monetary gain, to pull the wool
over their eyes in regard to the
degrading , health smashing, soul
searing effects of the excess
use of alcoholic beverages. At the
same time we have watched social
drinking, apparently clothed with
respectability, we have seen those
who could not handle it, headed
for, and arriving at, self destruc-
tion.
TRUE 0 FALSE 0
10. Loaded firearms, potential .kill-
ers, are treated with great respect.
Loaded bottles of beverage alco-
hol, more powerfully damaging
than firearms, have proven their
potentiality as killers through
their involvement in hundreds of
fatal accidents reported in the
daily press. The curses arising out
of the excess use of alcoholic
beverages are more urgently in
need of solution than are many of
the causes generously supported
in national appeals. Just as no one
would think of trying to remove
the danger of loaded firearms by
placing them within ready reach
of all and sundry, so it naturally
follows that Huron must keep the
flood -gates closed by retaining the
Canada Temperance Act on No-
vernber 30,
TRUE 0 FALSE 0
if your score is greater far True than False, you many contlider yourself'
adequately prepared to vote on the issue OP for decision on November
30th. If the reverse is true, we respectfully suggest you need to do
some personal 'research into the facts.
