"Johnny Canuck", which expressed great "concern" for the young peo- forr' thHuron eoval County; of Theand apCanada Temperance Act. As one who lived for years in other Ontario counties, and know something of the actual conditions, I appeal to parents and all those who are sincere in seeking the welfare of our young people, not to be deceiv- ed by those honeyed words, that plainly come from sonic who seek gain by flooding Huron County with liqu or. Speaking of floods: When high Ocean tides made openings in the sea-walls protecting Holland and South -East England, did the citi- zens of those countries remove the sea-walls? No, indeed! They hastily plugged the openings and strength- ened the walls so that they withstood the highest tides. Now, that the ris- ing tide of liquor consumption in Ontario ($228,000,000 worth dar- ing the year ending March 1952) has punctured some holes hi the Horan Co'ty Canada Temperance Act Sea - Wall, are we going to remove the wall? No! A thousand times, No! Let us plug the openings, strengthen the wall, keep back the liquor tide. Thank you, Mr, Editor, (Rev.) H. E. Livingstone, R.
