THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE
This “Voice”' recently told an
interesting apd startling percent?
jagg story about increasing" drink
ing and crime in Canada. Here
follow other percentages, . just a
few,. but they tell' a st dry of an
increasing realization ih' Ontario
at least of the need for action.
In 1953 there were 26 local option
votes held. A “Np” vote was re-
corded in 21, of 80 percent of
these. The actual percentage of
people voting * against additional
outlets for legal sale was 53. In
-votes on-cocktail bars durmg“ttfe
period 1947-1953, 33 out of 60,
-or—55—percent—were^‘<No”7votes~
These voters, a practical test of
temperance sentiment in Ontario,
are encouraging, especially when
it is recalled that the Trade
brings on votes only where they
feel confident of success, At the
same time it should be noted
that our Temperance forces, Do-„
minion, .Provincial.' and County,
are alive as perhaps never before
to the situation. The people of
the Churches especially are co
opering in greater numbers
than ever. Herein lies the main
hope for success in the crusade
against the liquor evil.—Advt.
