Their' teacher is Miss Marshall of ISirkton, Mrs, Robt, Elston, Mrs- Oli- ver Baker, Miss Kate Jameson and Mrs, Nelson Baker attended the WMS sectional meeting held at Wesley on Thursday, October 29 and also enjoyed a turkey dinner there.

Mr. and Mrs. George Carr and family of St. Marys were guests on Sunday of their aunt and un- cle, Mr. and Mrs, Wilfred Wil- son.

Mrs. Archie Dewar. Me, and Mrs. David Holland visited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Shaddock, Parkhill. Mr. and Mrs. George Wilson motored to Ottawa on Sunday returning on Monday where Mrs. Wilson attended a meeting of the FWIC (Federated Women's In - For the CTA Continued from page 4 way accidents in which the im- pairment of a motor car driver because of alcohol is a proven factor, Police estimate that 25`i of all highway accidents are in some way connected with the use of alcohol. In serious nee - dents the rate is generally ac- cepted as 45S'. And these are the most conservative figures we have found, Bringing the picture' close to home we scanned the 1959 front pages of this paper to date. We noted reports of eight accidents in which 12 people lost their lives. While testimony for two accidents (3 fatalities) was not reported evidence showed that liquor was admitted in testimony in three of the remaining six in which six of the nine fatalities occurred. Authorities claim that the marked and threatening in- crease in the alcoholic rate in the province is directly due to the government policy to pro- vide an increased number and variety of beverage alcohol out- lets. The number has increased 187re in the ten years of cock- tail lounges (Alcoholism Re- search Foundation). This is now considered to be the fourth and perhaps the third worst disease today and yet all eleven governments •com- bined give back less than one- tenth of one percent of the amount spent by the public on liquor for official research. It costs — and these figures again are conservative — all agencies $2.50 for every $1.00 the govern - men receives in liquor taxation to pick up the pieces. Several years ago the Alcohol- ism Research Foundation pub- lished figures by counties. While this has been discontinued and may not be entirely accurate it did indicate a trend and showed Huron to have only one•third the number of alcoholics per thou- sand of the average of the other counties — a really signi- ficant point even allowing that there are no cities within our boundaries. We have dwelt on these facts because they are important. They concern each one of us no matter what his or her views are on the Acts. Reverse stand Mr. Huckins has said "My principal reason for heading the repeal is control of juvenile drinking." All of us are con- cerned about our youth. They are tomorrow's leaders. On the surface there appears to be a good argument for the LCA and I must admit that several months ago I stood for repeal if we did not get the amendments. However, after more careful study of the •two situations and in view of opi- nions expressed by men whose judgement I value and Who have lived under the LCA I now am convinced that there is' very lit- tte difference in the two situa- tions with or without the amend- ments. Again — provide more outlets and more illegal sales to minors is a natural outcome. We'll deal further with this most important aspect under enforce- ment. Suffice it is at the mo- ment to commend to you Bill Pollen's letter 'to the Editor in The T -A of October 29 if you have not already read it, One law across province There is the argument that we should have one law across the province. Certainly we are a minority. So was a small band of men some 2,000 years ago. So was Winston Churchill. Minori- ties can be right and often are. It is a poor argument! We, in Huron, are different — distinct- ly different and when we know the facts we are thankful. The amendments Mr. Huckins, in a meeting in Exeter on October 19, seid that the government would not con- sider the .amendments. I believe, that this could have been inter- preted incorrectly. He should have added "at this time" and possibly this was the way he meant it. Certainly the government could not be expected to con- sider the amendments when presented 'with a petition with sign•ees of such numbers. Then, too, there is the question of ma- chinery in all government work. The law stipulates what proced- ure should be taken when pre- sented with a petition and it can Mr, and Mrs. Wm. Bell of Kip - pen were guests on Sunday at Mr. John Rinn's. Mr. Fred Jamieson, Kate and Florence attended the Kirkton United Church services on Sun -1 day and were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Delmar Johnston. Mrs. Tom Doube and Russell were guests with Mr. and Mrs. Will Scott, Kirkton, on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Parkinson and Brenda visited with Mr. and Mrs. C. Tessman, London, and were guests with Mr. and Mrs. Ken Hill, Lambeth, on Sunday. Mrs. Ben Wilson spent Monday with her niece, Mrs. Annie Hod- gins, St. Marys. Mr. and Mrs. John De Brabe- dere and family of Rannock were guests with Mr. and Mrs. Jules De Brabendere and fam- ily on Sunday. It is not a touch of frost that causes trees to turn colour in the Fall. As winter approaches the trees stop replenishing the chlorophyl that keeps leaves green, and the reds and yellows always present in the leaves then predominate. be acted upon immediately. The amendments present a different situation entirely. The delegation in late July of this year was promised that these changes would be con- sidered by the cabinet. If such were done and the cabinet de- cided to bring them befote the house it could not be done be- fore the next session in early 1960. It could be argued that the amendments were presented the lint time two years ago: Let us not • forget that that was the early months, of a new govern- ment. It would seem logical that. it had more important things to discuss than a piece of legisla- tion that concerned a very small area of the whole of Can- ada. In Ottawa We attended both delegations to Ottawa and state with convic- tion that the amendments can be made if we put our X oppo- site "against the revocation" on the ,ballot and maintain the CTA. First, we take seriously the at- titude the Secretary of State and the Minister of Health (under whose department liquor and drug laws apply) had toward the delegation. They stated that there was no- thing wrong with the amend- ments and at no time did they intimate that the changes could not be made. Secondly, the CTA has been amended on at least nine occa- sions — why not again! Third, Huron Presbytery Men who took the initiative in regard to the matter and held an open meeting for their discussion had the support of the Magistrate and Crown Attorney of Huron. These responsible menwould not encourage this endeavor if it could not be changed. There are those who suggest it would so change, the act as to be impossible. There are those who say our representatives won't touch such a controversial issue and there are those who don't want the amendments. If you vote against revocation and sustain the CTA you can be sure as Elgin McKinley stated at the meeting of the South Huron Min- isterial Association on October 27 "well be back to Ottawa to go after the amendments." The word can't is for the pessimist. If, then, throwing out - pf CTA means more consumption — a greater chance for broken homes, a greater danger to the lives of our children, a greater chance for a father or mother to become an alcoholic then I feel the price of more freedom is too high.
