A Digest As Prepared By the Huron County Temperance Federation What is the iCanada Temperance Act? It is an act designed to reduce to a minimum the public sale and use of 'intoxicating liquor as a beverage. It takes' away completely from •pri- vate interests in the area to which it applies the privilege of selling any intoxicating nquor, and thus removes the opportunities of making revenue from the retail sale of liquor, which is generally admitted to be the desire of persons engaged in the liquor business. It is not prohibition, as some main- tain, for while it does prohibit the pub- lic sale of intoxicating liquors, it does not prohibit its manufacture, nor its bringing in for personal use only. Intoxicating liquor, as described in the C.T.A., "includes every spirituous or malt liquor, and every wine, and any and, every combination of liquors or drinks that is intoxicating and any mixed Liquor capable of being used as a beverage, arid part of which is spirit- uous or Otherwise intoxicating." Liquors may be secured from licens- ed ) druggists, in small quantities fok strictly medicinal purposes, or for bona fide use in certain manufacturing plants, but only on the certificate of a legally qualified physician or magis- trate. Wine may be secured for sacra- mental purposes from licensed vendors Upon the certificate of a clergyman. Liquor may also ;be Used in private homes, but only for personal and fam- ily use. Any liquor brought in for pe'rsonal or family use must dome by a licensed carrier and be paid for outside +the county. A person cannot bring liquor to himself. The. Act can brought into forte or removed In a county, city or elect- oral district by a majority vote and thus has an advantage over what- is known in Ontario as Local Option, PAGE .EIGHT THE WINQHAM ADVANCE-TIMES thursdayt March 21, 1046 day last week, Quite a crowd gathered at the In- stitute Hall here on Friday evening, when ten tables of euchre were played, Mrs, James Wilson and.
