Huron CTA Suggests Desire
Toward Stronger Control
(Among those who took part in a
recent debate in the Legislature
was Charles MacNaughton, MLA
fur Huron. His remarks, as con-
tained in Hansard, are reproduced
here.)
Mr. C. S. MacNaughtun (Huron):
• Before 1 g5 ahead with the cum-
nr,nis I proposed to make previous-
ly, 1 must at this: time—and frank-
ly- 1 am happy 1u be able to do it
—spi'ak in terms of sincere corn-
{ mendation for the remarks of the
hen. member for Woodbine. At
least, Mr. Chairman, the hon,
member for Woodbine, while he
has enunciated some criticisms,
has also made some suggestions,
Frankly .I feel some of these
suggestions are too valid to be ig-
nored. For this I commend him,
and I would commend any hon.
member of this House who makes
a decent valid suggestion, because
I regard this as a problem that
can only be properly dealt, with' on
the basis of many, many sugges-
tions. It is a problem. Nobody
can disregard the problem..
Now, prior to this, I had intend-
ed to describe, a situation in two
rural jurisdictions: of this province.
Mr. Chairman, most df the com-
ments from the official Opposition
benches have been pertinent, more
or less, to situations that we find
in metropolitan areas, particularly
Toronto. But there are ' jttrisdic-
tions outside the metropolitan area
which have a high regard for the
seriousness of this problem as well.
The information I propose to dis-
close to the House tonight, I think,
will validate the need' fdr control
of some kind or another of this
very serious problem.

TB SURVEY ORGANIZATION
SET IN MOTION IN HURON
Initial steps ofthe organization
of the 'mass tuberculosis survey
for Huron County, July 18 to
August 6, were outlined at a din-
ner meeting of the Huron County
Tuberculosis Association held in
Clinton.
About 35 persons, from .cross
sections of the county who will
assist in the survey, were • also
present to hear an Ontario depart-
ment of health official, J. Stock-
ley, outline the methods used in
neighboring counties,
The survey is slated to include
every age group, and unlike for-
mer surveys, where X-ray alone
was used, this year the tuberculin
test will be used. All. persons will.
be given (with the exception of
secondary school students who re-
ceive injection tests at school) the
tuberculin injection and if a posi-
-tive action results X-ray will fol-
low.
However, department of health
Officials are urging all persons
over 40 years of age, .regardless
of the results of the test, to have
a chest X-ray. By this means, any
cancer, tumor or heart abnormali-
ties are retected.
The last survey in 1956° saw 55
per cent of Huron County's popu-
lation respond. Children were not
eligible. Of those "Persons checked,
eight were found to have TB.
The association president, Har-
vey McDermont, of Brussels, pre-
sided. Survey chairman is Donald
Stewart, of Seaforth; secretary,
Mrs. J. B. Russell, of Seaforth;

TIMELY TIPS
Chilled lambs need heat in a
hurry if 'you're going to save them.
Wrap the lamb in a clean sack or
wool cloth, say sheep specialists
with the Ontario Department of
Agriculture. A heavy quilt thrown
over the lambing pen will keep.
down the drifts and hold in the
heat. An infrared heat lamp hung
three' to four feet above the pen
floor will warm the lambs in a
hurry too.
* * *
If you feed over 1/4 of 'a sow's
ration as silage (dry matter bas-
-is), feed up to 11 opunds of a
protein - vitamin - mineral supple-
- ment per day. That's. the advice
of livestock experts with the On-
tario Department of Agriculture.
Watch the energy needs too. If the
sow gains less than a pound per
day, feed her extra corn or bar-
ley.
* *
If you've fed out most of your
early cut hay and you have to start
feeding low quality late cut hay,
better step up the grain. "Cows
will give more milk when the grain
is itllfreased," says Dr. Bruce
Stone, O.A.C. dairy cattle re
searcher. "We figure it takes
about nine pounds of 164per cen
dairy ration with July 15 cut hay
(all they will eat)' to equal June
15 cut -hay (all they will eat)."
This is because cattle eat late -cut
hay at a slower rate and it has
a lower energy value. Stone sug-
gests adding 2-4 pounds of extra
grain with pool•, -quality hay and
1-2- pounds with average quality
hay,
t
Now, at that point, Mr. Chair-
man, where I was appropriately
ruled out of order, I had suggest-
ed that the official Opposition, on
a number of occasions, had ex-
pressed the view that the .eorlt,o1
features of our lhgislaliolt should
be relaxed, and I hardly think they,
can deny this.
It is a matter of record, Mr.
Chairman, as far as the debates
of the last House were concerned
• and it has certainly been heard
in dommittee—that they no longer
feel permits are necessary. They
have certainly expressed them-
selves as feeling that more than
one glass of beer should be put on
a table, and there havebeen many
other expressions which would lead
anyone to believe, that they favour
certain relaxation of the control
measures of our Ontario laws.
Now, Mr.. Chairman, I was about
to describe an event that took
place in two rather representative
jurisdictions of this province on
November 30. I am making refer-
ence to the counties of Huron and
Perth.
On this day, Mr, Chairman, the
people of these counties voted over-
whelmingly in favour of the exist-
ing Ontario laws and regulations
by voting for the revocation of The
Canada Temperance Act. With a
trief interruption, The Canada
Temperance Act had been in ef-
fect in these areas for a matter
of approximately some 70 to 80
years, or probably more.
The Act, which was originally
known as The Scott Act, was sus-
pended for a short period in favour
of The Ontario Temperance Act,
which completely forbids the sale
of liquor, and this was the only
basis upon which The Canada Tem-
perance Act or The Scott Act, as
it was then known, could, be sus-
pended—only in favour of a more
restrictive Act.
However, Mr. Chairman, in 1934
or thereabouts, the then Liberal
government of ' the day decided
their regulations superseded the
federal law, and it was again sus-
pended until 1946, at which time
the Privy Council of England, in
one of their last decisions, sustain
ed The Canada Temperance Act.
This Act remained" in "9ffect until
January 15, 1960, at which time it
was revokErd' by Royal proclama=
Also, may I point out to hon.
members that, under The Canada
Temperance Act, about the only
'.basic area of enforcement was con-
cerned with the legal sale of alco-

hol in any form. There were rro
effective restrictions prohibiting
importation into these counties,
and absolutely no restrictions to
prevent .consumption .anywhere by
anyone. Minors, when they obtain-
ed it, could drink it with immunity
and did just that.
In all too many circumstances,
constituted authority had little or
no means of enforcing any type of
control whatever, to the point
where, in many situations, these
jurisdictions provided almost com-
plete immunity to those who in-
vaded the areas for the sole pur-
pose of unmolested consumption
and the many evils attendant upon
such lack of control.
9Ir. Chairman, 1 repeat that, on
November 30, the electors of Hur-
on, given the opportunity, chose
the legal control features of our
sound Ontario laws by a vote of
12,157 to 7,391. Out of 24 polls re-
presented by corporate municipali-
ties, towns and townships, 18 re-
corded votes to be rid of The Can-
ada Temperance Act. The percent-
age who voted in' favour of the
measures for control provided by
our Liquor Control Act and our
Liquor Licence Act was 62.2 per
cent, or practically two-thirds, and
in the adjoining county of Perth,
represented by the hon. member
across the House (Mr. Edwards),
the majority was even greater.
, Where, then, is the case for any
abandonment - of controls other
than riddance of certain nuisance
clauses referred to in the legisla-
tion which was discussed here this
afternoon? Here, Mr. Chairman,
is a valid endorsement of our pro-
vincial laws, at least to the extent
that control measures 'are. provid-
ed.
Let . me emphasize this once
more—these jurisdictions had ex-
perienced for too long, a. situation
almost out of control, if you wish,
and they chose the legal 'control
provisions of our provincial laws.
Mr, Whicher: Would the hon.
member permit a question?
Mr. MacNaughton: No.. I am
almost through..
May I add in closing, Mr. Chair-
man, that" Since revocation was
proclaimed by.. the federal author-
ity, we have had an'opportunity to
witness a different picture entire-
ly. This prompts me to say that
the people of Huron and Perth re-
cognize—since the vote and more
particularly since the revocation of
the former legislation — that our
proviticiar laws in this respect,
while they probably are not per-
fect, are much more to be desired
than any form of legislation which
would tend to reduce .their effec-
tiveness.
Now, Mr. Chairman, it is my
contention, and my sincere belief,
that this is a problem which has
only been scratched at, the sur-
face of it has only been scratched.
It is a social problem and it has
been a problem for decades—
cen-turies, if you wish.
May I suggest that, instead of
the type of criticism that has come
from the Opposition benches today
about things that have absolutely
no bearing on the, overall aspect
of this serious situation, that the
join in terms of the expression of
the hon. member from Woodbine,
and those who sit on the side of
government, in an effort to im-
prove the situation, improve it be-
cause it can stand a constant ap-
praisal, constant efforts to, im-
prove it.
The. types of criticism that we
have heard this afternoon contri-
bute nothing to the improvement
of this situation.
Meanwhile, Mr. Chairman, may
I say only that, until we find some-
thing better in an intelligent, de-
termined effort for improvement,
let us have no relaxation of the
present controls' as they exist in
this province today:—
Mr. Whicher: Mr. Chairman, I
would like to ask the hon..member
a question,' It is simply this. Did
the good people of °Huron and
Perth vote for the pre5ent liquor
laws of the province )bf Ontario,
or did they vote against The Can-
ada Temperance Act?
Mr. MacNaughton: Mr. Chair-
man, they were offered a choice.
Mr. Whicher: It would be either
yes or no. They voted for The
Canada Temperance Act or against
it.
Mr. MacNaughton: They voted
for legal control, Mr. Chairman,'
that is my answer to the hon.
member. They voted for legal con-
trol which they did not -have be-
fore—and which prompted me to
say, and I hope he heard me ---that.
we should at least retain the con-
trol measures we have now with-
out any relaxation of •them, and
improve them from there on if we
can.
I might add, before. I sit down,
the hon. member can make as good
a contribution to that situation as
anybody, instead of the type of
criticism we have heard from the
Opposition benches today,
Mr. Whicher: Well, Mr. Chair-
man, I might say that when I want
any advice from the hon. mem-
ber, I will ask for it,

Plan Shed Sale
The Lucknow Community shed,
which has long since ceased to
serve its original purpose — , the
stabling•.,of horses—is in the spot-
light at the moment. The contri-
butors to the shed purchase fund
in 1951 are being contacted and
asked to sign off their equity in
thei, building, In only one case was
e an individual contribution of
more than $10.00. Many were $5.00
and some even less, Thcee indus-
trial donations were in amounts of
$25.00 and $50.00. The object' of
this release is to permit the sale
of the shed, '(vith the' proceeds be-
ing turned over to the Lucknow
and District Lions Club to be used
solely tohelp defray the costs.' of
installing an artifical ice plant in
the Lucknow ' arena and "for no
other purpose." = Lucknow.:Sent-
