Fewest Alcoholics Under 'Voice:of Experience:
C T. A. "Keep the C.T.A."
Ontario has 2,210 alcoholics for' every 100,000
persons 20 years of age and over.
Ontario adds 5,000 annually to its total of al-
coholics. (The Alcohol Research Foundation said
4,000, not long agp, but has had to' revise this).
The number of alcoholics in this Province was'an-
nounced recently as 78,000. Each victim affects,detri-
mentally about five other, persons — in Ontario the
equivalent in population of a 'great city. •
The Alcohol Research Foundcitionjorrehabilitation
costs $250,000 annually.
In a condensed report on a 1956 survey, the Foun-
dation said 600 of 1,000 clergymen made general
comments and attributed to the use of alcohol: marital
discord, poor church ,attendance, juvenile problems,
drunken driving, crime, demoralization of women.
• The number oCalcoholics in. Ontario has 'DOUBLED
SINCE 1946, when cocktail bars were established with-
out a vote. The more outlets, the greater the liquor
consumption and the more numerous the tragedies. •
Huron, under The Canada Temperance Act, has
750 alcoholics per 100,000 population, half the next
lowest total among Ontario counties surveyed.
How can any thoughtful person vote to impose
upon Huron the Liquor Control Act with its eight (at
present) types of liquor outlet?
LET'S NOT LOSE THE C.T.A.
AGAINST THE REVOCATION X
" 'Many citizens who have lived under both acts
testify against the Liquor Control Act. Here are
passages from a few letters:
"Success to you in Huron. I live about eight rods
from a hotel, and .1 wish the repealists could see what
I see daily. The attempt to repeal the C.T.A. is only
another move on behalf of the liquor interests to
widen their scope."—E. C. BOYD, Waterloo County.
"I have not been living in Huron for over two
years, but I hope the voters of Huron will uphold their
record,for keeping the best interest of the rising gen-
eration always in mind. I enclose $15.00 to help win
the battle."—WM. A. CURRIE, Granton.
Having lived in communities under the L.C.A. and
C.T.A., I know that the adoption of either will make
little difference in the obtaining of alcohol by the
youth. The boys and girls of Grand Bend can obtain
alcohol'in their community as easily as can the young
people of Exefer.&--BILL POLLEN, student minister.
"Living in Huron under the Canada Temperance
Act for the past year and a half is a welcome change
from many years spent in areas under the Liquor Con-
trol Act. It is good to be able to walk down the main
street without being accosted by an alcoholic, and to
know that our girls can walk in safety in the evening.
While drinking does exist, for Huron is not "drv," the
eyidences are not continuously thrust under our eyes
and noses, in long queues before the doors of liquor
stores and brewers' warehouses, and load and anseern-
.1y conduct about the doors of beverage rooms. The
number coming to our door seeking helx:o In problems
involving alcohol has been greatly reduced, and respect
for law and order in this community is proportionately
higher. If Would be a serious 'retrogression to bring
Huron tinder the Liquor Control Act."—REV. T. GARNET
MUSSER, Wingitam.

The Editor
The Advance-Times
Dear Sir:, r
In stIttlying the claims put forth.
In the press, by these campaigning
for and against the repeal of the
Canadian Temperance Act, I find
myself almost .arnused by some of
,the arguments of the committee
for the repeal of the 'QT.A.
And, I am wondering. 'just how
gullible do they think the general
public 'are? The • main plank in
their platform scents to be that
under the L.C.A. there will be less.
teen-age drinking, Such a claim
is not only ridiculous, it' is Imre
"hogwash"! Any person, In ,his
tight mind, knows' that drinking
has never decreased by opening
More outlets; It has increased and
so has drunkenness violence and
their fellow ,.
claimedthat, under the L
there will be less.- bootleggers.
This •too, is a false statement, as
everyone knows. These pfitasites
of society will -continue to peddle
their wares to our youth and to
serve the "respectable" people of
'our area who 'haven't the courage
to publicly buy their intoxicat-
ing •beverages but prefer 'to be
"sneaky" drinkers,
It is interesting, indeed, to note
the sudden concern of the liquOr
interests for the youth of our land,
If they would like to . do some-
thing constructive . for them, they
could do much' 'better than to
open before • them an unlimited
number of outlets fOr their deadly
drug. The only thing the brewers
are interested in is the almighty
dollar and, once they have' it, the
public, can go to "pot".
So, don't be rhiSled by the pious
Christians who are in danger of
being wooed and won by the argu-
ments of the advocates for the re-
peal of the Canada Temperance
Act, I would suggest you ask
yourselves the following questions:
Who is behind the repeal of the
C.T.A,? The Liquor interests! Who
stands to profit by the repeal of
the C.T.A.? The liquor interests!
Who will suffer the consequences?
The general public!
The C.T.A., as it stands, leaves
much 'to be desired but, if it is
upheld on ,Nov. 30, the amend-
ments which are in the hands of
the Federal Cabinet, will be added
to it and it will then have suf-
ficient "teeth" to please even the
most disgruntled citizen .and law
enforcement officer,
Thank you sir,
Yours truly,
Alan H. Neelon
