Dear Sir: •
Today we read and hear so
much about civil rights, or the

seems to me that we are testing
that question in Goderich.

pose.ie' to those who abhor the
'thought, but respect the rights
of others, we feel sure they will
vote for the plebiscite on Sep-

be misused but ,supervised by

Dear Sir:* ') •
In connection with the pend-
ing votein Goderich-on estab-
lishment' of further liquor out-
lets I wish to call attention to
the experience of a public,
school teacher, a relative of
mine, in a Central Ontario
town. ,She has 38 pupils 'in
Grade I. They are not retard-
ed, with exception that one was
sent to the school for retarded
children"but they are in most
cases.. emotionally upset. It
takes a long time to'gain their4
confidence in new surrpundings,
and in some, cases it' becomes
necessary to visit the homes.
As result of these investiga-
tions, the teacher attributes the
trouble to conditions in the,
home brought about by drink-
ing,' and it has been necessary
to`explain to parents that they
must, improve ,home life if
their children are to have; nor -
mat progress in schOol work.

Dear , Sir:
As a former resident of Wal-

see that the "Vote NO" Cornmit-

ample of having rejected cock-

There is an .important' 'point

Dear Sir:
.
I notice literature being des-
teibuted : by the "Wet" section
of the population stating that
dining licensed lounges,. beer
parlors, end-eo-eletail barseare •
necessary here in•Goderiich for
business reasons.
Iu Kineardine, a 'few years
eg.o, we -vete' told the same
story. Theeeex,t year the local
hotel won The coveted award
called the "Hotel of the Year"
as the best run local hotel in
the area. So this story by the
local wets is a lot of falsehood.
le For those. who wish -liquor
to drink, the local beer and
liquor Ores are always well
.stocked. There are so many
of our young peoplekilled in
auto accidents now as, a. -direct
result of liquor. Why make it
easier -for them to procure it?
