TIM VOICE OF TEMPERANCE
Margaret Aitken, writing in the
Toronto Telegram, referred to the so-
called institutional advertising by the
liquor trade, Their ad boys write
glowingly of the beauties of Canada
or the comfort of going to church or
the careers of great Canadians, Then
comes the name of the brewery. They
were going to feature the career of
Sir William Osier. They changed their
minds however and dropped the great
Canadian doctor when they discovered
that in 1906 he had said, "Throw all
the beer and spirits into the Irish
Channel and the North Sea for a year
and people in England would be in-
finitely better. It would certainly solve
all the problems with which the phil-
anthropists, physicians and the poli-
ticians have to deal."
The breweries have no right to
claim any association with beauty or
the church or great men`. Their as-
sociation is with greed and degrada-
tion. Let their ad boys, Elmer Fergus-
son and the others write up the story
of death on the highway—the noisy
orgy of ,a cocktail party—the tragedy
of broken homes—then the name of
the brewery. That would be honest.
All that is the spawn of the brewery.

FORTY YEARS AGO
After the Holidays ,
(By Frederick Harold Beach)
I steal along the public ways,
With shamed head hanging low,
To shelter from unfriendly gaze,
A store-tied purple bow.
I've got to wear the thing you see,
For wife presented it to me,
I dare not turn my trousers up
Though streets be running wet;
My gorgeous socks are openwork,
Pink cheeks on vilet,
I've got to wear the blame things once-
My sister gave me them, sweet dunce,
I dare no longer blow my nose,
Within the public view;
My handkerchief of pale old rose
Is prettily fringed with blue,
I've got to use the thing you know,
My love for mother-in-law to skew.
I don't mind things that can't be seen,
Like orange undershirts,
Suspenders or pyjamas green
The things that really hurts
Is wearing where all men may see,
The things the women gave to me.
