Dear Sir: In view of the considerable discussion that has occurred late­ ly over the relative values of the Liquor Control Act and the Canada Temperance Act in the handling of the liquor problems, I would like to say a word to the people of Huron County. I have been a resident of the town of Goderich for a year now, hav­ ing lived the previous sixteen years in a town under the Liquor Control Act, and have been able to observe conditions in both towns as casual visitors would not be able to do. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of persons I have seen in Goderich in a year who are intoxicated, apparently. Only a blind man would say that of the town if he were about the I know that there is Goderich, and liquor ten legally since the C.T.A. is not a prohibitory law. There are bootleggers, too, as I have been told by some who are in a posi­ tion to know. There is, however, little evidence of liquor sale. The opportunities to obtain li­ quor in the town of “W-----” are so many that one wonders how the bootlegger could possibly be in demand. There are four hotels each with a beverage room and a flourishing trade as one, in passing, can tell from the noisy raucousness of both men and women. There are club licenses to the Canadian Legion and to the Gold Club, as Brewers’ Store. be able to of “W----” town at all. drinking in can be got- well as a warehouse and liquor And yet the bootlegger flourishes as I have reason to know in the same way that I know they are in Goderich, and also from the record of court proceedings which show from their work is which time to time that detected. Some people are the CTA replaced 1 . Control Act in Huron because they are vastly concerned about the incitements to drink among the young people. Under the LCA liquor is about as easy to obtain as ice-cream. In“W-—” one is scarcely ever out of sight of the evidence of the traffic, the purchase, deliveries, the crowded beer parlours, the con­ course of people in and out of them. From whom are the ranks of these customers filled if not ultimately from the young peo­ ple? To my mind, (and I have been able to observe its working personally) the most dangerous thing from this point of view is the banquet permit.

Huron Loses Last Steam Tractor Huron county lost its last 1 steam-powered tractor Tuesday I when the puffer was hauled ! from Bill Cooper’s farm at Kip- j pen to its new owner at Leaming- ‘ ton. !

Landscaping of the grounds I around the permanent housing area has been started. Seeding will be done in the fall. Attendant in a filling station: “Boss, your doctor’s in here with a flat tire.’’ Boss: “Swell! Diagnose the trouble oas puncture wounds re­ sulting in prolapsus of the peri­ meter. Prescribe plastic surgery followed by the administration of violent flatulents, and charge him accordingly. That’s what he’s been doing to me!” a room may be secured and set up as a bar and the drinks are on the “house” and sometimes on the town. What I have seen of this has given me a deep con­ cern for many people both old and young. There is incitment here for a non-drinker who would not be induced to run the risk of being seen entering a. beer parlour. Perhaps people think ministers are not ih a position to know conditions because they patronize neither liquor stores noi’ beer parlours and do not attend beer parties. More frequently we know far better what is going on becciiiso wg lie<ir arid. Itnow tli© end of the story at the point where all the glamour 'is gone from drinking and there is only sordidness, wretchedness and de­ spair. We come in at the stage of the alchoholics and the brok­ en homes. We are in as good a position to be accurate as most people, in our judgment, and from what I have known and seen I can only say that if you want a “wetter” town with in­ citements to drink on every hand, join the ranks of the agi­ tators for the Liquor Control Act. If you prefer a town of quiet sobriety, keep the Canada Temperance Act. Yours Truly, D. W. Williams, Minister, Victoria St. United Church, Goderich, Ontario.
