Editor, Signal-St4r. • Dear Editor: On April 19th, the citizens .of Goderich will be called upon to vote on the question of whether or not the town shall have More .outlets for the sale of liquorin -The- argUnient is frequently' advanced that ewnornic benefits tmould, accrue .,t„o.. aux, WP4111-1-init-31 froth having theProPoseci dining loungelicense,. and liquor lounge license (cocktail bar). Is this argument a sound one? „ It may be true that some additional rev- enue would'be derived from the sales through the proposed out- lets, but, if experience is any guide such sales would also create a need •for more police protection; add to the cost of administering justice, and other municipal services, and the net result would most likely be an increased municipal tax rate. It Iias been estimated- that across Canada, the 'costs attendant upon additional services created by alcohol are at least 21,., times as much as the revenue -derived from legal sale at all levels. There is also another angle from which the above argument may be challenged. Money spent on liquor. is not spent on food, tarip alone, and a reliable auth- clothing, and other merchandise ority states that 80r,'ic of these that may be classified under the are attributable to alcohol, The rategory of necessities, so who benefits? With less money avail- able for these, credit sales would almost • certainly increase, and collections would become more difficult. It is also argued by those who advocate more and more outlets for the sale of liquor, that economic benefits `would accrue at the governmental level.

No connnunity and nO nation can drink itself into prosperity. . ° Even if we could accept the argument that increasing the number of outlets would bring financial gain at the municipal level, or the governmental. level, or both, we would still have to indst that our community will be a better community without such outlets. The moral and social consequences of increased sales of liquor constitute the strongest argument • against these.

Dear Sir: 1 realize we live in the coun- try and do not vote in your coming 'liquor vote" but we are concerned with the result of this issue. We have no drinking problem in our home. I have. conversed with many women who ,would rather be in, and shop in a town where there are no "liquor lounges" or "beverage rooms",so that the "breadwinner" wbn't have this temptation. MOneY would be going for liquor and not, -for things needed for . the home, or they might be involved in a serious accident and ,not get home. I can't see the town benefiting-bY -additional outlets, as it takes many thousand's of dollars spenron liquor efoire .y the town realizes a few Wndred paid to them as their percentage from the revenue of liquor sold. Statistically,. • alcoholism would double with each additional out- , let. Goderich is our town and we like it as it is. We have taught our children, as I am sure many others have, the evils of alcohol. For the safety of all of us and example seLfor our children we hope there will be no places for beer and 'liquor in Goderich. SO those of you who have the vote, young and old, get out and help defeat this vital issue. Yours truly, Mrs. John Westbrook. Meaford, Ont., March 30th, 1961. The Signal -Star.
