Some BrieF Notes on the Canada Temperance Act This series of articles, which will appear in your paper from week to wetk, are spon- sored the Temperance Federation and W. C. T. is. of Huron County. Their DurPOSe IS to give a brief history of the origin, scope and possibility of enforcement of the Canada Temperance Act from the time of Its inception `Up to the present. No. 4—THE LIQUOR CONTROL ACT PROTECTED THE SITUATION The Liquor Control Act of 1920 spe- cifically provided that "Nothing in this Act shall be ccmstrued as inter- fering with the operation of the Can- ada Temperance Act applicable to any part of Ontario and no govern- ment ;tire shall be established in a municipality in which the Canada Telniterant'c Act httt been brought into f,-)rce and is still in force. The Conservative • administrations irt power in Ontario from 11006 ta 15.)314 observed this provision of their °VIII A et. In the legieIative session of 1938,. the first after his coining to power, Mr. Hepburn introduced and had passed several amendments to the Li- quor Control Att. One of these re- pealed the .section quoted above and substituted the following: 'Nothing contained in this Act shall be con- strued as interfering with the opera- tion of the Canada TernperanCe Act applicable to any part of Ontario, and no government store shall be estab- lished and beer and wine shall not be sold under the provisions of this Act and the regulations in any municipal- ity in which the Canada 'Temperance Act has been brought into force and is still in force." This legislation Mr. 'Hepburn had placed on the •statute ,books 'notwith- standing the fact that he had at that thee invaded the Counties of Huron and Perth, and in part 'Peel, with heer authorities. It seems clear that Mr. Hepburn at this stage sought to get by with his private interpretation of the technical words "and is still in ;farce." The question of the 'decision or wish of the people seems not to have entered his mind. 111 'the Following year, to ;straight- en his position and avoid the accusa- tion of violating his own Act, he re- pealed this Section l(Section ,fifi) en- tirely, The new Section 1618 is one that requires brewers to use properly em- bossed corks in marketing their pro- ducts. The change is ,p;ossibly, sug- gestive 'of the government's idea of social reform.
