The Voice Of Temperance
The opponents of the Canada Tem-
perance Act, are trying to make out
that it has failed, to prevent the
giving of liquor to minors. This
contention is unfounded. The Canada,
Temperance Act definitely forbids
a public carrier delivering an order
of liquor to a minor. Moreover the
failure that is scandalous is the'
failure of the Ontario Liquor -Act -to
keep minors out of beverage roams.
The Huron Temperance Federation
is sure that there is less temptation
and danger for minors under the
Canada Temperance Act than under
the Ontario Liquor Act.
