ACTION UNDER THE LIQUOR ACT
SINCE THE provisions or the Ontario
Liquor Control Act have come into force_ in
Huron and Perth counties, early this year, re-
ports of a great many more oases being heard
in police court have been seen in weekly and
daily papers in these two counties.
It would be very easy for critics to say
that this is evidence that the OLCA is not much
good, if infractions of the law take place. How-
ever, we have hope, and reason to believe that
under the MCA, the police departments within
these counties, now have the tools with which
to work in bringing about charges and convic-
tions, that they did not have prior to the repeal
of the Canada Temperance Act..
Last week a 'teen-age girl living .in Clinton
pleaded guilty to a charge of drunkenness, and
was fined accordingly. If the situation which
led to this charge had occurred prior to the re-
peal of the CTA, then little could have been
done. Someone could maybe have been charged
with contributing to delinquency, but that would
have been under the juvenile delinquency act.
Since we believe, along with Magistrate
Hays, that enough has been written about the
change in law, that all residents in the area
should be aware of present conditions, we can
see no particular reason for excess sympathy
for those persons apprehended, charged and
convicted under the OLCA. We believe that the
majority of persons in the county when they
voted against the CTA, were aware of the re-
sults which would follow.
We believe that the voters favour the en-
forcement of the OLCA in its every aspect by the
officers of the law in the county. We believe
that the voters have a right to know how this
enforcement is being done, by policemen they are
paying for protection. That is why we publish
the facts concerning sessions of magistrate's
court, including charges laid under the OLCA.

- When ever you become posses-
sed of a nice, readable bit of news
don't hug it to your bosom. Come
and tell the News-Record and we'll
tell everybody else. There's no-
thing like being sociable.
Overalls are the thing even in
fashionable circles in the cities
across the border, we are -told.
There is a rumor that John Ram-
ford, Tuckersmith farmer and up-
town G.T.R. ticket agent, will set
the fashion in Clinton. It would be
quite fitting that he wear 'em if
he wants to. They are the recog-
nized uniform of farmers when at
work.
The teachers in the School of
Commerce entertained the students
on Friday evening last, first at-
tending the Princess theatre, then
returning :to the school for games,
music and lunch.
Clinton Lawn Bowling Club ap-
pointed the following officers: hon-
orary president, W. Brydone;
president, H. R. Sharpe; vice-presi-
dent, H. Wiltse; secretary, F.
Jackson; treasurer, Dr. Axon.
Next week has been designatd
as Austerity Week. All across the
country, people are supposed to
practise, a week of austerity. Pur-
pose of the stunt is to focus at-
tention on the poor devils rot-
ting in refugee camps in Europe,
the Middle East and Asia, For
them, every week is Austerity
Week.
It's •a noble idea, ,and I hope it
works. But I fear the only people
who will observe it are those who
are already concerned enough
about World Refugee Year to do
something about it. They will
give up desserts, or do without
coffee for a week. The • rest of
us will pay no more attention to
Austerity Week than we would to
National Dry Cleaning Week.
- Sad fact is that the great maj-
ority of Canadians are not only
spoiled but selfish. Most of us
know nothing about austerity be-
yond the bare meaning of the
word. And most of us don't care,
as long as nothing comes along to
trim, any of the fat off our own
juicy slice of the good things of
this world. * *
Now if a 'refugee tried to tell
me 'that,- Td get sore, With some
indignation, I'd tell him that we're
always sending money to missions
and the Colombo Plan and over-
seas relief, and we, give $2 a year
to the Red'Cross, and we buy
raffle tickets on all sorts of wor-
thy oattles, and if he doesn't like
it here, why doesn't he go back
where he came from.
But coming from me, I can't
find any, answer, Except to tell
myself that at heart We're gen-
erotta decent , people, And it's
just thoughtlessness and it's only
huinan nature and it's a Short life
and we only go through the cour-
se once and why Shottldn't. We en-
joy it and how come those bums
got into those refugee camps in
the first place and why don't
those Europeans who are always
starting wart anyway, look after
them?
There's nothing mysterious
about the reluctance of Canadians
to think about the refugees of the
world. The only refugees of whom
we've had any experience are
those who fled to Florida, each
winter, and lie pangs of pity are
felt for them.
After all, We didn't create the
refugee preblern. We didn't chase
any Poles, or Greeks or Arabs
or Koreans off their property and
into camps. The Bad Guys did
that. Why should Canadians con-
tribute toward getting these peo

ple out of the camps and back into
civilization? * * *
The answer is that we should-
n't,, unless we believe that old
chestnut about all men being
brothers. If we do, it's about time
we started throwing our brothers
life-rings instead of lifesavers,
peppermint flavour: Canada's
contribution to the world refugee
problem as- present is about four
cents per capita. Norway's is 60
cents per capita.
It's shameful to realize that the
liquor -consumed in this country
on any given Saturday night prob-
ably costs twice as much as the
contribution of the country, for a
year, to the world refugee prob-
lem; that an average Canadian
family eats more meat in a week
than most inmates of refugee
camps see in a year.
