Newcomers to Huron remark on the absence of drunk- enness on the streets and they recall the common sight of in- toxicated men and women where liquor outlets have been provid- ed. Conditions are not so good in Huron that we should be complacent. They are certainly not so bad that we should be disgruntled. Conditions are a lot worse in liquor license act areas where there are liquor stores end beverage rooms. Keep liquor out- lets out of Huron. Keep the Canada Temperance Act.
