First Vote On CTA Ques-
tion rn 45 Years - Nov. 30
Next Monday, November 30 the
whole County of Huron is voting on the
question, of Revocation of the ' 81 year
old Canada Temperance Act.
Those eligible to vote are all persons
over 21 years of age who have resided
In the county since October 7, 1959,
Travellers and those who are em-
ployed by railroads andin transporta-
tion industries may vote at the ad-
vance poll which will be held in Gode-
rich, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
of this week, Hours during which the
advance poll is open are from 2 to 10
p.m. each of these days.
Persons missed in the enumeration
.and thus left off the voters list may
still vote by, taking, an oath at the poll
provided they `otherwise qualify.
The ballot reads "FOR THE REVO-
CATION" in the top space—a plain X
in pencil in this space. indicates the
voter's desire for repeal of the CTA.
Those who wish to retain the Act will
place their X in the lower space,
During recent. weeks the campaign
has created considerable interest. The
pro -CTA group has introduced statistics
in their effort to establish that Huron
is a low -consumption area so far as
alcoholic beverages are concerned.
They maintain that because no legal
outlets are permitted under the CTA,
'liquor may be considered "out of sight
—out of mind,"
The repeal group has strongly chal-
lenged this view. They point out that
there are innumerable illegal outlets in
I-Iuron which dispense otherwise legal
products under undesirable conditions,
at excessive prices and in far -greater
volume than most people are aware.
This is born out by surveys which are
readily available but not usually made
public. Each purchaser must give his
home address -when he makes a pur-
chase in a government liquor store or
brewers retail store.
Many people are unaware that un-
der the CTA it is illegal td bring in li-
quor personally, The only method is
by messenger or licensed carrier,
According to legal opinion the CTA
does not permit a person to serve
liquor to guests in his home, unless
they are members of his own_ family,
It is well known that this rule is brok-
en by practically everyone who buys
liquor regularly or occasionally, unless
he happens to bo a recluse,
The Iiuron Citizens Legal Control
Committee has maintained a policy in
their publicity of presenting the facts
and leaving the decision entirely up to
,the.voters.

Committee.
Missionary Rally Held At
United Church
A Huron County Missionary Rally,,
sponsored by Huron Presbyterial W.
M. S. of the United Church, was held
in Blyth, Wednesday evening, and de-
spite very slippery road conditions,
there was .a very good representation
from the various auxilliaries of the
presyterial.
Mrs, W. McVittie presided and a
choir of C.G.I,T. girls from Wingham
led in the service of song and contrib-
uted special music led by Mrs, Wm.
Tiffin, of Wingham, with Mrs. Harvey
Brown, Walton, at the, organ,
Mrs, Tiffin read the Scripture lesson
the story of Phillip and the Eunlch as
recorded in the acts of the Apostles.
Mrs. W. Cruickshank, of Wingham,
introduced the special speaker, Miss
Frances Walbridge;, of Angola, Afria,
which is on the west• coast of Africa,
'where the churches are not known de-
nominationally but 'are known as a
whole, by the name of "The Church of
Chirst," Miss Walbridge is a native of
Montreal, Quebec, and was a teacher
of Home Economics befpre deciding to
become a missionary and as such she
was specially trained as a literary
teacher. In her address Miss Wal-
bridge told most interestingly of her
work as principal of the Vocational
School for girls at Camundonga, and
the vocational short courses and camps
for women and girls in the area, One
of her special concerns is for christian
literature of all kinds, suitable for
erary work.
Miss Walbridge, with the aid of a
film of her work in Angola, stated,
"Angola is a Portuguese colony and as
such is not subjected to the riots and
bloodshed, so common in other parts of
Africa. The religion of Jesus Christ
has transformed the African worilen.'•"
"There attitude to their strange mar-
riage rules is changing, also their at-
titude toward their homes."
Much of the ill health in Africa, is
caused by malnutrition and African
women have always had the hardest
work to do, This address and film was
most thnely as church missionary
groups of all ages are studying Africa
this year, •
Letter To The Editor
Goderich, Ont„
Nov. 21, 1959,
Editor, Blyth Standard,
Dear Sir:
The greatest and most valuable as-
set- we have in Huron County is our
young people. What is best for their
future welfare should be our first con-
sideration in deciding which way we
will vote on November 30.
It is being stated that the Canada
Temperance Act is responsible for hi
creased teen-age drinking, juvenile
delinquency and bootlegging. The
facts do not bear out these statements.
The, best independent authority in
Huron has stated that there is defin-
itely less teen-age drinking in Huron
than in counties under the Liquor Con-
trol Act. Mr, A. R. Scott, principal
of Goderich District Collegiate for
many years, backs up this statement.
During his time as principal, the
school dances have been trouble-free
so far as drinking among students is
concerned.
Report of magistrates' courts throu-
ghout Ontario reveal many prosecu-
tion in which teen-age drinking and
drunken parties among juveniles are
involved. Recent reports in the daily
papers of extreme rowdyism in L.C.
A. municipalities, with residents a-
fraid to walk their own streets, em-
phasize the freedom of Huron from
any such reign of rowdyism from teen-
age drinking. The only such eases
in Huron have been among juveniles
from neighbouring counties under the
L.C.A., who brought their liquor along
with them, At a recent trial in Huron,
involving teen-agers from a county
under the L.C.A., the magistrate stat-
ed that from his observation bootleg-
gers are as numerous in counties uta•
der the L.C.A, as in Huron or Perth.
Back in Premier Hepburn's time,
beverage rooms were illegally estab-
lished in Goderich, Those persons who
were chiefly responsible in bringing
in those beverage rooms are now at
the head of the campaign to do away
with the C.T.A. and again bring in
beverage rooms, and also liquor out-
lets' tinder the L.C.A. To cover their
real motive they express great con-
cern about teen-age drinking and
drunkenness in public, One of the
main arguments used by their paid
agents who canvassed the county was,
"We want to bring a law which will
protect our young people from teen-
age drinking." Many of those who
signed the petition have seen through
the hoax and are going to vote against
revocation on November 30,
Huron county has the lowest rate
of alcoholism of any county in Ontario
yet surveyed—less than half the aver-
age for Ontario. If the C.T.A. is voted
out, the L,C,A. will automatically take
over, and as surely as night follows
day, beverage rooms, liquor stores
and other outlets will be established
in Huron. Just as surely will there
be an Increase in the number of alco-
holics. It is an established fact that
more liquor outlets always result in
more liquor consumed.- It is teasel!.
able to suppose that free sale of beer
and liquor under the Liquor Control
Act would increase the number of al-
coholics in the county to 'the average
rate for Ontario. The present ratio
in Huron is 750 per 100,000 population.
More recruit would be needed under
the L.C.A. to bring Huron up to par
for alcoholics. Most of them would
come from among our young men.
How many who want to have more
prosperity through freer sale of liquor
would like to contribute a son to the
new list of alcoholics?" How much
money would any mann need to com-
pensate him for an alcoholic son? You
may say you haven't a son, or that
you know your son will never be an
alcoholic, which might be true, but
what about your neighbor's son? This
is a responsibility no voter can escape,

bers have subscribed for $382,750,00 in
shares, and this policy permits the

I cash patronage in this area was estim-
ated at $23,000.
1t is the policy of the Board of Direc-
tors to support and work with other
farm and co-operative organizations.
It is the Boards policy to work closely

THIS ISSUE LATE
This issue of the Standard will reach
It's subscribers slightly later than
usual, dye to mechanical difficulties,
At 11:30 Wednesday evening, with
the papers rolling off the press at.the
usual 13 per minute, the machine
came to a sudden halt. Investigation
showed that impression screws had
broke, causing the type to jam com-
pletely through the paper.
With no chance of a quick repair
job, we hmnediately contacted our
friends at the Clinton News Record
and made arrangements to transport
our forms to their office for printing
Thursday morning.
Due to the difference in press sizes,
and lack of time, the centre section
will be omitted this week. We hope
you will accept our apologies,

Marland River's First Bridge Built
100 Years Ago
The elder citizens in the Auburn
district are reminiscing about the pi-
oneer days recalled by their parents
when the mighty Maitland River was
first bridged at Manchester, now cal-
led Auburn,
When the area was first taken up,
the settlers had to find their own wad
of crossing but Mr, Eneas Elkin esta-
blished a ferry service, which was op-
erated by his wife during the day
time hours, when the men were busy
clearing the land. Just where Mrs.
Elkin ran her ferry is unknown but
it is thought it might have been a
little north of the old dam site. The
east side of the river is not so high
and it would have been convenient to
the Elkin home on top of the hill.
The map of George Fulton's sur-
vey, the north-east part of Manches-
ter, made in 1858, shows the . site of
the first, government bridge at the
foot of Elgin Street (or the big hill).
Belgrave L.O.L. No. 472
EUCHRE & 'DANCE
Belgrave Foresters Hall
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18
Music By
Smith's Orchestra
- This would have required a very high
bridge or a very steep approach from
the east side. The engineer in charge
solved this problem, as had been
done on a number of bridges on the
main Maitland, by havikig the ap-
proaching road assume part of the
grade. To this end, In 1958, about
half an acre of land west of the Mait-
land Terrace was purchased from
Mr. Elkin and the eastern approach
to a new bridge was built about 100
yards south, of Elgin Street. There
is no photograph of the bridge, en-
tirely of wood, built in 1059. It was
too low and the first spring flood wash-
ed it away.
Twenty years later a fine wood
truss bridge, supported 'on substantial
;;tone piers which consisted of crib
work filled with stones on a stone
foundation, was built. The cribs
were made of heavy oak plank, placed
flat side, one on top the other, and
held together by massive spikes or
heavy drift pins made of iron, The
spring flood of 1884 carried this
bridge to its doom.
Two young Auburn men, Joseph
Lawson and William Sturdy, who were
standing on the bridge watching the
ice break up, realized they were be-
ing carried down stream and jumped
to safety,
The designers of the new steel
bridge, erected the same year, show-
ed better judgment in planning as
they built a long span on the east
side and a short one on the west side.
This meant that the supporting pier
was well across the deep side of the
river and would be easier to replace
in case of trouble. These two butt-
ments and supporting piers were built
by Joseph Naegele and William Web-
ber, who had learned their trade in
Germany. The structures were built
on piles driven about eight feet below
the bottom of deeply excavated pits.
The smaller span was replaced by
a longer one in 1898.
The stone was quarried from rock
found at Ball's bridge, worked there
by the two men, and brought to the
site of the new bridge. Dur$ig the
construction, a ferry service was pro-
vided by George Dawson and Gerry
McBrien, and many folk recall the
foot bridge which was also built
across the river. Except for a few
minor repairs, after the spring floods, 1
44-3 this bridge lasted for 70 years.

Hoodlums
'RUN WILD'
Under The L.C.A.
A number of Ontario towns suffered recently
from organized and liquor -inspired rowdyism. At
Newmarket last month, citizens in a petition to the
reeve, reported that youths were swearing, smash-
ing bottles and annoying Women. Residents testi-
fied at a police commission hearing that hoodlums
were running wild in the town. One resident said
that on the main street, in the evenings, "you don't
walk, you run, or drive."
A gang which, according to provincial police,
holds wild drinking bouts in 'Medford and Forest,
descended on Arkona at Hallowe'en, started four
fires in the street, hurled eggs at residents and
stones at three policemen. Citizens refused to give
evidence, fearing what was described as "a small
but vicious gang of hard -drinking hoodlums."
Outbreaks of this kind have been reported in
the newspapers from other centres, all under the
Liquor Control Act.
In Huron, under the Canada Temperance Act,
we just do not have this sort of thing.
The new modern structure which now
spans the river at Auburn was open-
ed on December 30th, 1955. It is cal-
led the T. Roy Patterson Bridge, in
honor of a former County Engineer.
This bridge, although built to ac-
comodate the heavy traffic of this age,
has lost many of the happy childhood•
memories, when the young folk looked
with awe over the railing and peered
meditatively into the waters of the
beautiful Maitland. Very few fisher-
men can be seen trying their luck
from the new bridge, but if was form-
erly a frequent sight to see 7 or 8
men trying to catch the bass or
trout hiding in the depths of the river.
Time marches on, and leaves behind
the history of our community. Many
interesting stories come from the
study of our pioneer families, and one
can learn how our forefathers coped
with their many hardships, won their
battles with a smile, and left us all
a goodly heritage.
The "Lamp Shade Course" sponsor-
ed by the Women's Institute will hold
their first meeting on November 26th,
at 2 p.m. at the home of Mrs. Brad -
nock.

How Do You Rate
In Citizenship
(Allow yourself ten points for each answer.)
1. Much propaganda aginst the Canada Temperance Act is grossly misleading -- in
effect a hoped-for subtle brain -washing.
TRUE FALSE
, 2. The liquor interests are working in Huron because of those who hope to gain
financially through the repeal of this Act.
TRUE FALSE
3. The Canada Temperance Act Is a good Act and holds promise of being made bet-
ter by amendment through important political sponsorship following its being retained.
TRUE FALSE
4. Actual experience shows requests to the Clergy for home visitation, because M
the ravages of over -Indulgence in intoxicants, to be up to thirty times greater in areas
not under the C.T.A., compared to Huron where its protection is enjoyed.
TRUE FALSE
5. Tax revenues from the sale of intoxicants are wholly inadequate to offset the
ever-increasing costs of public welfare institutions and agencies made necessary because
of excessive indulgence in these beverages.
TRUE FALSE
6. Huron has enjoyed an extent :of inuiwnity from the devastation of the liquor traf-
fic unknown in counties not favored by the protection of the C.T.A.
TRUE FALSE
7. The bootlegger flourishes through the illegal sale of intoxicants. Sales to minors
are one of his sources of revenue. The daily news in the past few years shows theft
areas other than lluron have had far more difficulty controlling their problem than this
county.
TRUE FALSE
8. The sale of intoxicating beverages in Quebec operates with a minimum of con-
trol. The percentage of financial failures in Quebec is far greater than in Ontario. The
record for lluron for financial stability is enviable. It naturally follows that money not
spent for intoxicants is available for more useful purposes. The home benefits, so does
the average merchant.
TRUE FALSE
9. While Canadians generously support many good causes organized for the uplift
of mankind, they allow minority, interested chiefly in monetary gain, to pull the wool
over their eyes in regard to the degrading, health -smashing, soul -searing Effects of the
excess use of alcoholic beverages. At the same time as we have watched social drinking,
apparently clothed with respectability, we have seen those who could not handle it headed
for and arriving at self-destruction.
TRUE FALSE
10. Loaded firearms, potential killers, are treated with great respect. Loaded bot-
tles of beverage alcohol, more powerfully, damaging than firearms, have proven their
potentiality as killers through their involvement in hundreds of fatal accidents 'reported
in .the daily press. The curses arising out of the excessive use of alcoholic bbeverageci
are 'more urgently, in need of solution than are many of the causes generously supported
in national appeals. Just as no one would think of trying to remove the danger of loaded
firearms by placing them within ready reach of all and sundry, so fit, piaturally follows
that Huron must keep the floodgates closed by retaining the Canada Temperance Act
on November 30.
TRUE FALSE
If your score is greater for True than False, youinay consider yourself adequately
prepared to vote on the issue up for decision on November 30. If the reverse is true, 'we
respectfully suggest you need to do some personal research into the facts.

THE PUBLIC VOICE THEIR
OPINION
Headquarters of the Canada Temperance Act
Committee has been much cheered by numerous
cordial messages accompanying contributions to
the cost of the campaign. They are taken as a
sign of widespread 'support throughout the county,
and of success on November 30.
One note reads: "I wish you success; we do not
want those beverage rooms."
A Wingham, citizen wrote: "Enclosed amount
is to help out the good work. . You can rely on us
against drink."
Senator W. H. Golding, Seaforth, sends contri-
buti'on with the note: "I sincerely hope that the
Act will be sustained and then amended, as sug-
gested by those supporting this Act,"

THE BLYTH STANDARD
We Publish These Statements
In The Public Interest
They Speak for Themselves
Serious Mistake to Retain CTA
(Elmer Bell, Q.C,, of Exeter -- Reported in Exeter Times -Advo-
cate, November 19, 1959)
"The people of Huron County will make a serious mistake if
they do not get rid of the CTA on November 30" Mr. Bell stated.
"In my opinion it is the worst piece of legislation ever devised
in Canada. We cannot afford to have this act any longer on the
statute books."
The Exeter lawyer Emphasized that the only outlet which
can be established without a vote in some municipalities is the
gov't retail store and it would not be opened unless the municipal
council concerned passed a resolution requesting it. The other
public liquor outlets would have to be voted in by the people.
Respect for Law
(Don Southcott, Editor. Exeter Times -Advocate, Nov. 19, 1959)
"This is an important point. Under CTA there is little or
no respect for law and law enforcement officials, particularly
ampng the young, impressionable age group. This is not the
case in LCA areas.
"I speak from experience for I, too, have lived under both
laws. I spent three of my late teen years.under LCA and I can
tell you there was no laughing at, thumbing noses at, or ridicule
of, police and the liquor laws among the young people with whom
I was associated, then.
"You may minimize this point but I suggest to you that any
law which creates disrespect for our system of justice does our
democracy a great hariri."
Deny Amendments Promised
TO CANADA TEMPERANCE ACT
(London Free Press, November 21, 1959)
"Two Federal Cabinet. Ministers said yesterday they have
made no undertaking that amendments are forthcoming to the
Canada Temperance Act which would make it more, effective for
the control of liquor.
Double Standards
(Quoted from, a Editorial in The Huron Expositor, Nov. 19, 1959)
'What is more important than a discussion of the readiness
with which liquor may be obtained are the double standards that
are being created in the minds of an entire generation, and the
resulting disrespect for law and authority which. arises."
ALCOHOLISM IN HURON COUNTY
(Alcoholism Research Foundation, November 19, 1959)
"There are definitely no statistics on alcoholism by county in
Ontario."
EFFECTIVE CONTROL IN PEEL
(Peel County Abandoned the CTA by Vote in 1951)
Toronto Township Police Chief Garnet McGill, in a Statement
Dated November 17', 1959
"All Police Departments in the County of Peel are more sat-
isfied under the Liquor Control Act, as all phases for effective
control are included in the Liquor Control Act,"
CONDITIONS IN GRAND BEND
(1By incorporating as a village and joining Lambton County,
Grand Bend came under the Liquor Control Act)
J. H. Dalton, Reeve of Grand Bend, October 16, 1959
"When the CTA in its present form was in. force here our big
problenis arose from the fact that the CTA did not prohibit the
consumption of alcoholic beverages on the streets, in public places
or in autombiles. Also,' because there was no provision in the
Act to convict on a charge of drunkenness, drunkenness became
very prevalent on the streets and became uncontrollable under
existing legislation (the CTA). A girl, or a group of girls, could
not walk on any of our streets, particularly at night, without be-
ing subjected to insult, profanity and even attack.
"Since the Liquor Control ,Act hens been in force here it has
provided the means of conal atting the above problems."
Huron Citzens Legal Control Committee
JOHN E. HUCKINS, Chairman
LETTER TO TILE EDITOR
Mr. Editor:
I covet a small space in your paper
for my opinions on a very important
issue. Why will people vote for the
L.C.A. next Monday?
1) Many will be tempted to vote for
L.C.A. because they feel it will bring
better law enforcement and greater
CONTROL of drinking. A law on pa-
per is not a law enforced, We have a
law now that forbids the sale of alco-
holic beverages within the boundaries
of Huron County, Is this law enforced?
L.C.A, forbids anyone to be drunk in
a public place. It forbids sale to any-
one under 21. It forbids selling or
giving liquor to anyone who is already
drunk. Ask your cousins in L.C.A.
areas if THIS law is enforced! Hava
you ever attended a dance in an area
"controlled" by L.C.A.? Have you ev-
er attended a wrestling match or ,a
football game in London? Is the law
enforced at these public functions? If
is illegal to drive through Blyth at a
greater speed than 30 mph or on the
highway at a speed greater than 50
mph. Is this law ehforced?
The only law enforced is the one that
the people want to have enforced and
are willing to help the police enforce.
We are not guaranteed better law en-
forcment if we vote L.C.A. We ARE
guaranteed more outlets for the sale
of: alcohol.
2) Can more outlets posslaiy lead
to less drinking? Anyone who wants
alcohol can secure, in a legal way, all
he wants now for his own or famiy
consumption. He doesn't need a local
outlet.
3) Many now secure beer illegally
and there are those who are willing
to make a profit from bootlegging.
Will these people change even if we
change the law? It is illegal to sell to

The Auburn Tidy Teens of the 4-11
Home -making Club held their meet-
ing with the presidnet, Margaret
Haines, in charge. The meeting was
opened by all the girls repeating the
4-I1 Pledge. The minutes were read
by the secretary, Eileen Schneider,
and approved as read. The roll call
was answered by each telling of their
plans for rods and shelves in their
clothes closets. Mrs. Keith Machan
the leader, discussed plans for Achie-
vement Day and had record books
brought up to date. She also talked
about curtains for improved clothes
closets. The assistant leader, Mrs.
Ed. Davies, demonstrated the making
of a laundry bag and the suitable ma-
terials they could be made of. She
showed how to cover hangers with
velvet and each girl cut out and cov-
ered
owered her clothes hanger. The meet-
ing was closed by all repeating the
Mary Stewart Collect.
Congratulations are extended to Mr,
Ed. Davies who won the Class E
Championship Trophy in Horse Shoe
Pitching last Saturday at the Royal
Winter Fair, Mr. Court Kerr won
Gth place in Class B at the samo
match.
Mr. and Mrs. Mel Osmond and fam-
ily, of Toronto, spent Sunday with her
mother, Mrs. William T. Robison and
Mr, Robison,
a minor now. But some do it. Can it
be any more illegal under any other
law? Even then many would still se-
cure it illegally and sell it illegally.
The police can't be everywhere at all
times. WiU someone who now has no
regard for the law and is accustomed
to disobeying the law change overnight
and become law abiding?
4( Some say it is no concern of
ours what happens in Wingham or
Goderich or Clinton. But I say it is
We travel the roads to these places,
Our youth have easy access to these
places. If we lose C.T.A, these will
have liquor outlets and neither the
roads nor our youth will be safe,
This is our only chance to control the
outlets not only in our own community
but in those communities which are
part of our lives.
5. We have the future in our hands.
What we vote for now will not be in
force for just a month or two nor
just a year or two. We won't have
a second chance. Regardless of how
you vote MAKE SURE YOU DO VO'1I,.
Let this truly be a vote of ALL the
people.
Let us hold the C.T.A. and show our
law courts that WE WANT IT EN-
FORCED.
Mark your ballot next Monday
against the revocation.
