STORES Ontario 11111 .The Canada Temperance Act This law was passed by the Fed- eral Government in 1876 to assist Provincial Govements to control the liquor traffic. It is a County Local Option law which can be carried on a majority vote. Huron County voted it in by a majority of 2,608 in 1914. The law is very restrictive. No legal outlets for liquor sale, such BIG OHANGE- Things have changed a lot sine our grandparents time. They were traditionalists. On May 24th, the Queen's birth- day, irdday, there w, always four great events. We discarded our winter under- wear. nderwear. We set off fire crackers. We had our first swim. And, fnrlally we planted the garden, all of it. It didn't make much difference about the weather. It might have been warm for weeks, but we stil had to keep on the red flannels. We were not allowed to go near the creek and the garden lay fal- low. On the other hand, there might have been even a belated snowstorm. But on the 24th re- gardless the garden went in and so did the ,hardiest swimmer, at least for a stroke or two. We do things more gradually now. We don't, Lor instance, 'wait for a certain date on the calendar before we start to garden, or at least start to plan our garden, and planning is just about as in- teresting and pleasant. in fact in any part of Canada we can start planning right now. Ever since Eden man and garden- ing have been closely associated, but that does not mean that this mast interesting of recreations is the same as Adam and Eve knew it. There has been continual change and improvement. Indeed it is this constant development, sparked by plant breeders and en- thusiasts that makes gardening so intensely interesting. 'Many of the flowers, shrubs and as beverage Booms, lounges, cock- vegetables that our grandparents tail bars may be licensed by the Government in C.T.A. counties. Twice the law has been tested. in the higher courts. Both the Supreme Court of Canada and the Privy Council in England rejected the appeal to have it declared in- valid. It was declared "good law." It is just as enforceable a_ s any other law that forbids sale, if the inte rit and efficiency of the en - g y forcing powers are assured. Those who have lived all their lives under the C.T.A. find it dif- ficult to believe it preferable to the Liquor Control Act. Not so many.others, who have moved into Huron from L.A.C. counties. "You just don't see drunks on our streets," declared cine, living now in a Huron- towii. Another, who Lived more than ten years in an- other Huron town, has found con- ditions mirth worse in the little five -legal -liquor -outlet- town to which he moved. We in Huron are fortunate. Let us think twice before we make a change. This advertisement sponsored by Huron County Temperance Federation. i 0)➢ BRECKEHRIDGE'Sf P.
