HURON COUNTY
TEIPERANE
C' TION
Huron Co.. is the otily}.,�county in the
Province that.has its ow8.,'f'emperance
Field Secretary and speeiat officers.
The organization that controls the work
is known as the Huron County Branch
of the Dominion Alliance and has been
in existence for more than 15 years,
working first es three nnits, and more
recently as a County.
The work rf the organization is to
assist. the Inspectors ahri Constables
in the enforcement of the Temperance
laws,believing as they dei that the suc-
cess of any temperance legislation de-
pends .upon its enforcement:
Huron County being one of the few
Counties to, retain the Canada Tem-
perance Act, it .makes the work here
slightly different to Counties under
the Ontario Temperance Act.
A large delegation of Ministers and
Laymen are expected for the annual
Conventionh
t o he ell in Wesley
Church, Clinton, next Tuesday when
the plan- of campaign for the coming
year will be decided on. '
