It was drink him of the affection • implants in every little children, and especially for thosd of one's own flesh and blood. The creature that once was a man had become worse than a beast, and the/ metamorphosis had been accomplished through drink. It is not alone the brains of men that liquor steals away. It is honour, justice, morality, love, kindlipess, and every vir- tue and impulse of decency and righteousness. It has been scientifically proved that even the smallest amount 'of alcohol stops the co- ordination between brain and hand. A certain admiral proved this when he gave to men of his gun factory a very small a, nount of alcohol and im- me 'ately their sight became affe ted. Can we at this time. afford to look into the question of the ef- fect of alcohol on road ac- cidents? Octoberfest, Carlings, Molson's in their advertising always pushing with a subtle tone: "We give it all, When you're great-. you're great." or "You don't know what you're Hissing" but never refer to the many immoral issues and hur- ting effects brought on through drink. You say what are some of these deadly effects thea Liquor Business is licensed for? The following is taken from the files of, Alcoholic & Drug Concerns Inc. To exploit the Youth of Canada—for its profit. To become responsible for ;'potential killers" on our roads and highways. Alcohol is in- volved in 50% of the serious highway accidents. To add 4000 annually to the ranks of Ontario's 93,000 alcoholics. Approximately one out of every thirteen persons starting to drink will become an alcoholic. Three others will become excessive drinkers. To handicap Canadian in- dustry at a loss of $80,000,000 a year through accidents, short production, lost' time and defec- tive workmanship. To breed and foster crime -- 89% of all criminals under detention in Canada have by their own admission, been, drinkers of alcoholic beverages. ,(C-olborne and Goderich Townships have been dry from a license standpoint. for years and now its citizens will soon, be confronted with the respon- sibility of voting "yes" or "no" on three . questions of No.9 (Lounge); No.8 (Dining Lounge and No. 7 (Dining Room). Let us remember what grave consequences will issue from opening these townships to what could be more outlets than one can imagine. High courts have long ago said that the liquor traffic has no natural rights, that it exists only by special right created through license. What should the voters of these townships consider their duty as responsible citizens? It is t© be honest in their thinking; to be courageous in their action. The indifference of many people to their obligation On the level of government has led an eminent jurist to say:"Not to vote is a species of treason against a public good."
