ONTAR19, LAW WOULD HELP
Huron County Couneil has rejected a pro-
posed resolution calling upon ,the Dominion
Governurent to rescind the Canada Temperance
A.ct, as it applies here. There will be. differ-
ence of opinion as to the validity of some cont -
plaints, listed in the resolution, but the vote of
18. to .1.5..must indicate dissatisfietion with the.
working out of ,the .C.T.A.
' The Temperance 'Act, under conditions
greatly changed from those existing' when it
was first enacted, lacks certain important con-
trols -provided in the Provincial laws applic-
able over most of Ontario. Prosecutions can-,
not be made nnder provisions of the Lignor
Control Act so long ,as the federal law is in,
force. In Section 143. of the L.C.A, it is.
speejfieally provided that. it "shall not apply
'in any area within Ontario in whin the Can-
ada Temperance Act is in force." Section 67
of the Liquor License Act is similar.' In event
of the C.T.A. ceasing to be in force; +both On-
tario laws shall apply, subject to certain pro-
-visions about...local option bylaws ..and, votes. .
The legislation providing .tharthe L.C.A.
shall ,not apply in IC.T.A. areas was enacted in
the time of Hon. George Drew. Premier Frost
allowed it to renii,n, and has taken no action
upon requests that the' Legislature be asked
to ,reseind, it. He is said to be 'unlikely' to
change his mind. There, however,.lies a 'cure'
to defects of the Canada Temperance Act.
WATER SAFETY WEEK
Last year more than 1;000 people drowned -
in Canada. That is, not a proud record for
any nation. TelioSemen,.women and children"
lost their lives simply because they neglected
. to observe elementary rules of water safety.,.
Every year the Canadian' Red Cross re-
• -minds us of those rules and at first glance they
seem so obvious and self-evident'that we won-
. der why the Red Cross 'keeps issuing this ma-
terial. • This is the ,thought until we look at
the record and compare a few..statistles.
Most happened because
people didn't think -or never realized they were
in any danger. They were foolhardy and ig-
nored -nne Or more of the simple preceptspf
