King's Plate
' In, 1934 beverage rooms were
opened in Ontario. It was af-
firmed that more beer drinking
would result in less hard liquor
drinking. There would she less
drunkenness and boot -legging
would disappear. After 15 years
what are the facts? There has
been more beer drinking by 533
per cent. Contrary to promises
there has also been more . hard
liquor drinking by 300 per cent.
There has also been more convic-
tions for drunkenness by 269 per
cent and more convictions of
amongwomen
drunkenness by
243 percent. As for bootlegging
in ten years, convictions increas-
ed 32 per cent. Persons con-
victed. for drunken driving had
increased by 212 per cent. What
a damning record. for beverage
rooms. If Ontario wants beverage
rooms then it will have to put
up with this mounting of evil.
The Canada Temperance Act
saves Huron County from the
beverage rooms, and their evil
spawn.-Advt. - 49-b
