Zurich Citizens News, 1959-11-25, Page 8PAGE laGd: T Ten 'Ridiculous Situations Possible Under Ineffective CTA, Says Lawyer Exeter lawyer C. Van Laugh- ton, who has served as crown attorney in Huron County out out n numerous occasions, pointed. the "gaping loopholes" in the Canada Temperance Act in a public statement this week. "In the interest of good law enforcement, I feel I must point out the deficiencies in this CTA, many of which seem to have been overlooked during the cam- paign. I think voters must con- sider them seriously before cast- ing their ballots on November 30. "As far as adults are concern- ed, nothing is going to change their habits," he stated. "But there are two things I am con- cerned, about principally." "The first is that the greater percentage of all traffic fatalities in Huron County have involved liquor and we have not enough control over liquor in automo- biles under the CTA. In Huron nothing can be done by enforce- ment officialsuntil a man is im- paired or drunk. When it gets to that stage it's too late. We need some deterrent in Huron county and the LCA is very ef- fective in this regard." "The second concerns teen- agers. The CTA does not dwell upon the question of teenagers in any manner. There is no con- trol over their drinking." Mr. Laughton compiled a list of 10 situations which can, and do, exist under the CTA. "Those who intend to vote to retain this act on November 30," he said, "should realize that they are sup- porting these ridiculous condi- tions. If I was voting for CTA, here is what I would be voting for: "1 I can if I wish carry a partly filled or full bottle of li- quor or bottle _ of beer or ale in my car and not break the law as I would do under the LCA. "2 I can if I wish consume beer or liquor on the streets, public parks and beaches and other public places and not break the law as I would do under the LCA. "3 I can if I wish sit in or drive my car in a public place and drink beer or liquor and not break the law as I would do under the LCA. "4 I can if I wish prevent the police searching for liquor or beer without a search warrant with- out breaking the law as I would do under the LCA. "5 I can if I wish stand back and see my children and yours (under 21 years) drink in public places and not break the law as they would do under the LCA. "6 I can if I wish stand back and see bottle clubs operate in Huron county and sell liquor and beer and deprive the public — that is you and I— of revenue which would be ours if places were licensed under the LCA. "7 I can if I wish sit hack and hear about your teenage child- ren purchasing liquor and beer outside dance halls from persons who are selling it to them from their cars and know that it is almost impossible to convict the seller because there is no law against having liquor and beer in your car under CTA and no teenager has been found who will assist the police by informing. This could not exist under the LCA. "8 I can if I wish drink my own liquor in public eating places at a reasonable price under CTA which I couldn't do in any other but a licensed premises under LCA at a higher prices. "9 I could if I wished, boot- leg without fear of a jail sen- tence under the CTA which I can't do under the LCA. "10 I can if I wish drink privately in many ways under the CTA that I can't do under the LCA and, if I did not believe in proper controls, I would vote against the LCA after having lived in this county for 10 years under take freedom of the CTA, which freedom I did not enjoy in other parts of Ontario under the LCA."

Church met on Tuesday, Novem- ber 17, with Dennis Amacher in the chair. Miss Elaine Grainger acted as pianist for the meeting. After the singing of a hymn, Rev. A. M. Amaeher led in prayer. A responsive Scripture reading was read. Miss Elaine Grainger and Miss Ann Westlake sang the duet, "Sweeter as the Years go by." Mr. Laughton said it appeared to him that many of the minis- ters in this area who have been active in the campaign have fail- ed to realize the discrepancies of the CTA. He also felt that many of them were not taking a stand on the basis of the creed of their church but rather on their own personal opinions "wh- ich we are all entitled to voice in this democratic country of ours." Mr. Laughton is a member of the law firm of Bell and Laugh- ton, Exeter, and is ' a graduate of Dalhousie University and Os- goode Law School.

E, Shaddick, present member, whose two-year term ex- pired this year. While four persons were nom- inated for the three positions on the school trustee board, only three qualified and so no election is needed in that department. The new board will consist of James Taylor and Ernie Chipchase, both present members, and Mrs. Irene Davis. Douglas Cook was nomin- inated but failed to qualify. Wil- liam Fuss, the third member of last year's board, retired from the ifeld. Miss Brenda Schock gave the topic. This was on the Ten Com- mandments. "The first and the second commandments show that God must be above all things. The danger is that we put pleasure ahead of God." "The third commandment for- bids cursing.

Group (Continued From Page One) fewer alcoholics than any section under the Liquor Control Act is untrue." Mr. Huckins read a telegram from W. J. Patterson, Little Cur- rent, publisher of Manitoulin Is- land's Largest newspaper, in con- nection. with an advertisement re- cently used by the CTA commit- tee in Huron under the heading "Manitoulin After Repeal." Contents of Telegram "The 'Manitoulin After Repeal' advertisement sponsored by Hur- on County Temperance Federat- ion is a .deliberate misrepresen- tation of facts. It is the irrespon- sible statement of a Killarney wo- man about conditions in and af- fecting the litttle village of Kil- larney eight years ago. It was not true then, and is not true now, and does not and never did describe conditions on. Manitoulin Island. The village of Killarney from which the Manitoulin after repeal advertisment originated numbers about 250 adult residen- ts who live in a townsite of 100 acres extent, 22 miles east of the Manitoulin Island, and seperated from it by . water. If 50 to 60 cases of beer were consumed in the village of Killarney every day as she says, exery adult would be obliged to drink an average of more than five bottles a day. The Manitoulin after repeal state- ment is thus revealed from the deliberate misrepresentation it is. I challenge Royal S. Moulton, secretary of the Ontario Temp- erance Federation to withdraw it, and to cease and desist from its use or be branded in. public as great a liar as one of his pre- decessors, Rev. John S. Coburn. Mr. Coburn was forced to public- ly admit he misrepresented facts in the CTA campaign on Man- itoulin Island in 1949. The CTA was defeated on Man- itoulin Island May 16, 1949, after 36 years by an overall majority of two -to -one. Towns such as Lit- tle Current which were nests of bootlegging, defeated the CTA. by majorities similar to Little Cur- rent, 549 to 86. The village of Kiilarny from which the Mani- toulin After Repeal advertise- ment originated voted 182 to 17 to repeal the CTA.
