H.E. *• % ed the Clip’ Sheet entitled “War Time Prohibition.” * We were reminded that Mr, Lloyd George, in a speech at Bangor, in Feb ruary, 1915, said "Drink is doing us more damage than all the German submarines put together.’’ Recently he has repeated these views: "During the last war drink was rotting our na tional effort at equipment -in a deadly fashion. It became-a choice between alcohol and victory. Drink still plays its old part as the most dangerous al ly of the enemy.” Headed by the splendid example of His .Majesty the King, a great appeal for war-time to tal abstinence was. made. War-time prohibition of the manufacture and Sale of alcoholic beverages was urg ed; not only because of the harm done by the alcohol, but also because of the waste of valuable food stuffs-. It was asked in the British Parliament: "Does the House know that we are using one million bushels of grain ev ery week in the making of drink? One million bushels would give us 'the whole Qi the bread consumed by the French and British armies.” Howev er, the organized power of the brew ers and distillers-blocked Prohibition in Great Britain. » Prof. John Hay, M.D., of Liverpool, says "The conditions unde’r which we are living in this grave national' em ergency are abnormal, and as never before it is our duty to see tp*it that we are 100% fit, mentally, and physi cally. Alcohol may,. indeed, induce a pleasant sense of well-being,, and fer tile time blunt our senses to the trag edy and mjsery of the situation, but it does this at the expense of efficiency. To be less than one’s best at the pres ent time is a crime against the- State.” Floyd Jenkins gave a> recitation, "The Two Fortunes” which the wo men enjoyed immensely. Mrs. J. F. Anderson then read an article from the November "Temperance Advo cate” entitled "The Great Unclaitned’* after which Mrs, Cosens read a chap ter from a most interesting book of biography, Grace Hudson sang beau tifully "O Canada” and "Tile .Maple Leaf”. The meeting was closed by the singing of the national anthem. \s it is impossible for me to greet the citizens of East Wa- w.Qnosh personally, I am taking this opportunity of expressing my sincere wish that you all have a very Happy Christmas Time and a New Year of Health and Prosperity.
