Letters ,To R the' Editor
Mr. Editor:—
Judging from the -response- to my
last article in your paper regarding
the liquor problem in Ontario, it will
not be out of place to write another.
stated in in my 1st that the confi-
dence of my' thousand voters, as well
as the knowledge of the backing of
thousands' of other te]nperance peo-
ple in Huron acts as a challenge to
us to advance to the suot,where there
is the greatest need.
Since the beverage room menace re-
mains for another four years, at least,
provision must be made to provide for
the casualities,—the ever increasing
numbers of unfortunates, already
helpless in the toils of the traffics,
A place for treatment of these is
of immediate and vital. importance.
1. It must be a place where the pa-'
tient will be really rehabilitated, not,
merely' given a temporary- nauseous
experience. -
2.
xperience.
2. It must be a place where the cost
of treatment is' not 'prohibitive.
3. It must be a place free from. the
stigma of the suggestion of an in-
stitution for the insane •or mentally
weak.
We know of no institution in On
tario where there are all these above
mentioned requisites present.
Now now are we going- to get it?
Your first thought as was mine, after
the election, may be to ask the Pre-
mier to relegate a part of the liquor
revenue millions for this- purpose.
Rut second thoughts ale often beat
thoughts and so perhaps in this case.
.1'n
the first pace, is it,likely the Pre-
mier would entertain our proposition?
He might lightly -say, -"There are
plenty of 'local physicians to give him
a shot, and that will easily put him
off the booze and he'll know better
the next time" or he might say,
"There. are several private institu-
tions to go to, and if this fellow has
money, enough to spend lavishly for
drink, he can easily enough spend
$200.00 a month for treatment; or he
might .say, "We have already provid-
ed and are providing mental hospitals
and if people are weak-minded enough
to get the habit, they're weak-minded
enough to go there.
But even if our Premier should en-
tertain our idea and meet our request
and give us a pittance from the liquor
revenue, would we not be placing the
Liquor Interest in a position so they
`could say. "Well, we do admit after
all that there is a trifling number of
weaklings, who have to be considered
and we are quite willing to increase
our liberal givings from our legal and
respectable business to help amelior-
ate this unfortunate complication and
so would we temperance people not
be really in league with the beverage
liquor traffic to that extent in the
acceptance of their donation.
Of course it would not be any worse
than what we are doing right now,
accepting as a sop a percentage of
the liquor license fee from the bever-
age room to meet our municipal ex-
penses, but this would be even°more
of an evident sop if we accepted direct
toll from the traffic. • The fact is that
we are right now, as slavishly under
the control of a dictator as are the
people of Germany or Italy and that
dictator is thb Liquor Interest of On-
tario.
Unless the Premier gives us much
more of evidence of his bravery in
the meantime, we will be going on,
just as the liquortrafficanticipates
we will, splendidly apathetic, until the
next election,
In his post-election speech the other
day, Mr. Rowe, as Coroner made some
enlightening pronouncements. 11 e
said in explanation for defeat "Ap-
parently the drys didn't trust us and
the wets were afraid of us," Mr.
Rowe never uttered anything nearer
the truth. From his weak parrying
plea for another year of beverage
rooms what else than distrust could
he expect from the drys;, and as for
the wets being afraid to vote for
him, he exl'lains that in another quo-
tation from the same speech when he
says "Apparently for every dollar i,he
Conservatives had to spend on publi-
city, the Liberals had $10.00.'
If Mr. Rowe had have had in his
pre election mixed concoction more.
of a stimulation ingredient for the
wets, he might have had the balance
of the .10 to 1 -on his side. Mr. Rowe
missed his chance. If be had come` out
four egnare on an anti -beverage liq-
uor policy, he could -have proved that
there was at least one party leader
who was willing to cut the slimy ten-
tacles of the Liquor Interests.
Mr. Hepburn is supposed to be able
to handle a good sharp knife. He has.
plenty of opportunity to use it now,
or is the Liquor Octupus quite sure
that lie will not. We want Mr. Hep -
burn's -point of view, and we hope
soon to write an,article entitled, "Re.
port 'of ari Interview with Mr. Hep-
btun on the Liquor Problem in On-
tario."
Iluron County is ne better than any
other Ontario County, but the election
has' taught us that theme are' many
thousands of voters in the Province
Who. are looking at the problem with
both eyes open and :there are thous-
ands tore with, as yet, just one eye'
open,; but we see enough and have
have learned enough in the actual
cainpaigning to know that the Liquor
traffic has a strangle hold on this
province, and with its weapon of. mil-
lions is prostituting ail moral and hu-
man interests and even Democracy it-
self. '
Are we discouraged? In elates, yes,
but not generally so., We have thous-
ands of -recruits in the temperance
Cause. Besides the Ministers, and W.
C.T.U. Workers and,, Federation, all
of whom' have, given much personal
service in the,past, we now have work
ing with; us Woman's Institutes,
Young People's Clubs, the Press to a
great extent and in fact the Intel-
ligentsia of the Province. We have
a Premier who has a well darned re-
putation for courage. and `a goodly
number of temperance candidates el-
ected to Parliament and a Traffic, liv-
ing well up to its reputation as a
menace' to, life and morals. So why
be anything but optomistic as to the
final outcome? Intelligent citizens
wil not long stay put, hibernating for
four year periods between elections.'
Even the sea tides can be control-
led.
I thank you, Mr. Editor, for your
liberal space.
—ALEXANDER MOIR.
Clinton News -Record, Clinton, Ont,
Thanks to the big hearted people. of
Old Ontario, not forgetting all the
other provinces, as they all have help,'
ed to make thousands of families hap-
py in the dried -out area of Saskatche•
wan. Many hundreds of carloads
have arrived in the Nest from East-
ern points filled with good Ontario
apples, potatoes, beets, turnips, car-
rots, canned fruit, honey, and most
everything you could mention. Peo-
ple who have planted hundreds of ac-
res of grain and large gardens, ex-
pectingraiu to come so that they could
have their graineries full and plenty
of vegetables, were disappointed. The
rain did not come. The seed lay in
theof
s 1 and in
many places did not
even germinate. In other places the
wind blowed'the grain out after it did
start to grow, leaving the fields, a
barren desert.
These are tiie people who appi'e•
elate the efforts of the people whc
are so willing to give their surplus
and labor. The people of Morse and
district received twa carloads. One
was barrelled apples, donated by the
the Government and good quality of
winter fruit. The other car was fir.
'eel with all kinds of good things to
eat, and came from the town of Sault
Ste. Marie, en the Canadian side.
When we unloaded the cars into our
town hall for distribution, the chi!.
dren gathered around• the cars by
the score to get apples and carrots to
fill up the inner man. It would do
our eastern friends good to see this
sight, and they would think that af-
ter all their effort was for a good
cause. The Western friends cannot
thank the donors to much for all the
good things they have,sent out to the
dried out area, in Saskatchewan.
Our method of distribution was as
follows. Willing hands unloaded the
produce into a large hall, where the
different vegetables, were placed in
separate piles and a scale was used
to weigh out the number of pounds
allotted to each family, according to
the number of children. The last re-
port we had through the press, close
to 700 cars had been received in Sas-
katchewan for thedried-out area for
which we must thank our good people
so much. Words cannot express our
thankfulness in thee of need.

DEANERY OF HURON
'(Continued from page 1)
vealed that cities were built on top
of the ruins of the former cities. The
houses were built of sot dried brick,
like the houses described in the text,
and when great rains came, they
crumbled' into ruins. The people re-
built their homes on the same spot.
Corporations. and nations also built
on a*fe nd
u n atroii: That foundation is
most important, Countries and crowns
were lost after thele world war, be-
cause they had not been founded on
firm principles, The British Empire,
on the other hand, emerged from the
conflict,- stronger than before. Queen
Victoria on. being questioned regard-
ing the strength, of her Empire by a
visiting .African Chieftain, showed
him the Bible and said to him, that
that was the secret of their strength.
The Women's Auxiliary, this year
have as their Study Book, "Consider
Africa." Africa is a large continent,
-teeming with millions of people.
These people have become- civilized in
one sense, but it is an industrial civ-
ilization. They have trunk railways;
airplanes, cement highways, the dia,-
mond mines of Kimberley, and the
gold fields of Kenya have drawn the
youth of Africa. This industrial life
has had a -tremendous effect on the
African people. •
Before the coming of the white mare,
these primitive people had certain
unities. They had a belief in God,
although they did not worship Him..
Their worship of spirits had a
ten-
dency to snake their lives
gloomy and
uneasy. They had a loyalty to their
own tribe.
After working for several years in
one of the great industrial centres,
the young people return to their na-
tive homes with money but with no
religion. If they had any faith, it is
gone, their lives were crumbling in-
to ruins, as did the houses built on. the
sands.
It is the duty of those who help
spread the industrial civilization to
see that these young people are led
to the Christian faith, in order thee
they will have firm hrinciples where-
by to direct their lives.
The Church has no Canadian mis-
sionaries in Africa. The Church in
England has sent many missionaries,
who are working among these people,
There is a Huron College there, which
is trying to train young men to go
among their fellow men to tell them
that God loves them and wants therm
to rebuild their homes on Christian
principles.
There are destructive forces at
ivork in the British Empire. Com
-
111111115111, radical socialism, nazism.
If we want our nation, our empire to
stand, we must stand by the princip-
les of Christian teaching. We "should
see that religion is one of the stand-
ard subjects of the school curriculum,
in order that children will not grow
away from it.
As long as Christianity is our foun-
dation we shall stand like the house
on the rock.
At the close of the service, the
members of the Women's Auxiliary
met in Trinity Church. The Chapter
and laymen niet in Knox Presbyter
ion Church. Mrs. Calder of Code
rich, president, was,in the chair. Mrs,
Graham, of Brussels, secretary, read
the minutes of the May meeting Re-
presentatives were present from Bay-
field, Brussels, Clinton, Goderich,
Hensall, Middleton, Seaforth, Varna,
Walton and Wingham.
It was decided that Dorcas Secre-
tary for the deanery would facilitate
matters in regards to the bale. Mrs.
C. McKinnon of Clinton, wag chosen
unanimously. ,
Mrs. Calder spoke a few words re-
garding the coning departure of Mrs.
Appleyard from'Seaforth, saying hpwv
Mrs. Appleyard will be missed, as she
was always ready with advice and as-
sistance.
Mrs. Paull of Windsor, fors or1y of
Bayfield, was called upon to speak
for a few minutes. There are certain
things that we must always keep in
mind," said -:Mrs. Paul, "We •must
form new Branches of the W. A.
wherever needed. It is important to
have everyone working enthusiastical-
ly in the interests of Missionary en-
deavours.
The formation of a branch of the
W. A. in the mission fields means
that the Gospel is spreading, but
these people still need our assistance.
Until ive have branches every possible
place our work is not. completed:
Our work does not go forward in.

at a time. Mrs. Paul also spoke of

planning the study portion of the
meetings. ,
The afternoon session was opened
by prayer by Rev. K. McGann of Clin-
ton. Archdeacon Doherty of London
spoke of the work discussed at the
General Synod held in Halifax the
first week in •September.
Archdeacon Doherty spoke of the
many notables present, the'clergy in
the drought area, the pension fund,
the changes in the Prayer, Book.
These changes will not affect thepr•in-
ciples already there, or the doctrines
of the Communion office. The subject
of Communism was also discussed.
Some people are in favour of teaching
religion in the' schools to attack this
destructive force. Improvement, in
worldly conditions will cause con,.
nnmism to evaporate.
Mrs. F. H. Paull of Windsor, who
attended the General Synod in Hali-
fax, also.spoke of the W. A, work. The
work among the Indiana has resulted
in their improving physically, morally
and spiritually. They are taught to
read, study and love the Bible and
to live the principles that are given in
the Bible Bishop Lmdel lsen of IIo-
nan, China, brought greetings from
his wife and other Chinese women. In
summing , up her report of the meet-
ing; Mrs. Paull said she was impres-
sed by the Maritime hospitaity, the
need of witnessing for Christ, often
expressed in simple kindliness. The
oneness of the
people, e, in spite of
newspaper articles dividing the conn-
try.into factions. Mrs, Paull said she
was impressed by the pride and con-
fidence shown in the leaders of the
Church at-home and abroad. "There
is a God, a power behind the Church
in Canada. We have good leaders. Let
us be ,good followers: i s •
Rev. John Graham, pf Brussels
spoke on Sunday School matters. In
his opinion, the Sunday' Schools are.
not being attended 'as regularly as
they should be,. "Let as keep in
mind the conditions, Let rectors
make a study of their Sunday
Schools, and to try by various ways
to increase the attendance. "A new
day will dawn for the Sunday Schools
in the Deanery."
Major A. Firth, of Clinton, spoke
on the subject of "The Sunday School
by Post." Maoje Firth has offered
to assist Mr. Irwin of Owen Sound
in this worthy work. Ninety-eight
children in the deanery, have been
contacted and thirty are correspond-
ing. The literature is sent to the
parents. He has had letters from
parents, telling of their appreciation
for this contact with the Church. The
Sunday School by Post enables chil-
dren in the rural districts to study
the same work as the children. in Ur-
ban centres.
