ONTARIO CITIZENS
TAKE 'SECOND LOOK'
REJECT L.C.A. OUTLETS
1
On October 21, Burlington turned down a liquor
lounge and dining lounge, and its annexed area rejected
a liquor store and brewers' warehouse as well as lounges,
On the same date, Dundas voted against lounges. ' Also
On Oct, 21, Flesherton (Grey county) voted nearly 3 to 1
against men's and women's beverage rooms. -.
Other, • victories this year, as listed by the Ontario
Temperance Federation: St, Thomas "(lounges), Norwich
(store), Grimsby, VictoriaHarbor, Erin, Timmins
(lounges), Gananoque, Kingsville, Wheatley; Leamington
(lounges), Bovgmanville, and about nine townships.
Twenty 'communities voted -on. 38 questions under
the L.C.A., with the highest ratio of `dry victories in
a long time. ,
The city of Owen Sound, ' without licenses tinder
local option,, has successfully resisted five attempts at _
repeal, the latest in 1958.
Commenting upon this showing, the Hamilton Spec-
tator says:
"People in various parts of Ontario are taking a
second` . look at the desirability of liquor lounges and
cocktail bars . It could be a trend is setting in
against additional outlets for alcoholic beverages
The fact is, of course, that money spent on alcoholic
beverages isn't available for spending on food, clothing
or the other real needs for a good life. This is apart
from the social 'effects. The primary purpose of addi-,
tional liquor outlets is to sell more drinks 'tomore
people." • •
