HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Clinton New Era, 1919-10-9, Page 5""Thursday, October 9th 1919, To the Voter TO establish that the 2.51% beer to be voted on—the "Beer of the Ballot" --is slot intoxicating, The Ontario Brewers' Association deposited $5,000 with the Canada Per- manent Trust Company on September 15th. q On ' September 19th, The Ontario .Brewers' Association formally challenged the Refer- endum Committee •through the Press to deposit an equal amount with the same Trust Company to support their con- tention that this beer is intoxi- cating. CI That challenge has never been accepted—clear admittance by the Referendum Committee they do not consider that they have a case. It is too late now to make the tests and render a decision before the day of voting October 20th—but the failure of the Referendum Committee to answer our challenge will not be overlooked by the nian or woman who votes on facts and evidence, and not on sentiment or false statements. q We again assert that 2.51% beck ---"The Beer of the Ballot"— is not intoxicating. Tests have only rtoe(iy been made which prove this conclusively—we will mail a eopy of the test to anyone auffieently interested to write for it. q Moreover, vrhile the " Beer of the Ballot " has an alcoholic strength of but .2.5V,.official tests made by the laboratory of the Inland Revenue Department —published in Bulletin 196— showed that the beers on general sale before The Ontario Tem- perance Act and Prohibition were enacted, had an alcoholic content ranging as high as 7.33% by weight measure—practically three times as strong as the beer to be voted on October 20th. Even such American beers as were sold in Canada and always spoken of as "very • light, non -intoxicating beers," were over fifty per cent. stronger than the "Beer of the Ballot." The "Beer of the Ballot " is a mildly stimulating, healthful and refreshing beverage, brewed from a high grade of malt and hops --containing only sufficient aloobol to make it digestible and nourishing. 3 ti..
