Voice Of Temperance
� too high," 'declares Keith
Ohilderihose, formerly Executive
Secretary, :Ontario 'Alcoholism
Research Foundation, Ottawa
Branch.
"Alcoholism is one of Cana-
da's major health problems. It
is conservatively estimated that
there are 150,000 alcoholics in
!Canada and Canada's rate of al-
coholism, 16 of every 1000 ad-
ults, is the sixth .highest in the
world."
('Alcoholism is everybody's
problem and a special one dor
industry. It is estimated that .6
per cent of industrial employees,
from laborer to executive, have
a problem with alcohol. The alco-
holic employee loses upwards of
18 days a .year (because of his
illness' in comparison to 7 •or 8
days for other employees."
In addition to this loss, he
pauses an increase in accidents
and wasted material. When he
is on the j.olb there is a drop in
production and a lowering of co-
workers' morale,"
"'Dhe majority of alcoholics
are not nnentally deficient Skid
Row (bums as .many people think.
Sixty per cent of our 150,000
alcoholics are in the semi -skilled,
skilled, whiteeollar profession-
al, managerial and proprietorY
occupational groups. . In
other 'words, ,they are potentially
valuable persons in whom society
has a large investment."

Dr. Brady Opposes
Proposed Widening
Of Goderich Street
Editor, The Seaforth News.
Dear Sir,—Democracy is defin-
ed in the Oxford dictionary as
a State practising government
by the people either direct or
representative", to which might
be added, the majority rules but
the rights o't the minority are -re-
spected and protected insofar as
,they clo not harm the state.
• This past week we in Seaforth
have observed how a democracy
should NOT function, The recent
action Of the town council t0 ap-
prove a proposal to widen God-
erich street to 33 feet, from Cole-
man street to the western limits
is astounding, particularly in view
of the fact that, to quote a news
report " Airst, however, rescind-
ing an earlier motion which had
resolved that it was unwise and
unnecessary to widen the street."
A few Years ago when this
subject was first broached to
council, the reaction of the gen-
eral public was immediate and
clear. A petition signed by the
vast majority of property owners
on Goderich street was presented
to council stating the objections,
numerous and serious, to the
scheme. As a result of this rep-
resentation, council quite correct-
ly deemed the proposal "unwise
and unnecessary."
May we examine in what way
the situation has changed during
the past two or three years? Un-
changed are the facts that (1)
the boulevard at present between
the sidewalk and the roadway
which now affords a partial pro-
tection from traffic will be de-
molished and vehicles of all
shapes and sizes will be rushing
down a provincial highway scant
inches from adults and children
on the walks. (2) This modicum
of protection during the snow
season will be eliminated and it.
will make the position of the
pedestrian, already hazardous,
virtually impossible. Snow will
be piled high on the sidewalks,
lawns and,in certain cases, even
on doorsteps. (3) Give a motorist
a wide road broader than usual
and he will inevitably be tempted
to increase his speed. During the
previous consideration of this
subject, the Provincial 'Police
stated that they already had trou-
ble with speeding on t8 highway
and they felt that a wider road
surface would certainly lead to
catastrophe. (4) There are two
grade schools located on the
highway totalling about four hun-
dred pupils, many of whom must
use this artery four tines a day.
(5) The engineer of the Depart-
ment of Highways stated that if
the reason for widening the high-
way was to eliminate bottlenecks
caused by parked cars, it would
mean very expensive parking
space and the desired results
could be attained by "no park-
ing" regulations.
On the other hand, certain
facts appear to. have changed
during these years: (1) Cannel]
has passed a by-law prohibiting
parking on Goderich- Street. (2)
The one parking bottleneck ad-
jacent to a medical establishment
has been eliminated 'by provision
of two off -the -street parking
areas. (3) There is a report to
council that the Department of
Highways would bear the cost of
widening except for curbs and
gutters although, to again quote
the news report: "-no formal as-
surance had been received from
the Department as to what ex-
tent it would contribute."
Shades of Shylock ! It would
appear that our councillors have
been carried away with the idea
of "something for nothing", even
when that something is not only
"unwise and unnecessary" but is
detrimental to the safety of the
population, especially our school
children, is a menace to the pro-
perty owners, and is in direct
contradiction to the freely ex-
pressed wish of the democratic
majority.
It may not cost the town any
thing financially, although this is
open to serious doubt, but it will
Cost the present property owners
monetary loss through deprecia-
tion of their property. That may
be negligible but it may cost the
town the life or lives of our
school children and this is a price
we are not willing to pay to sub-
limate the desire of one who
would appear to prefer govern-
ment by decree--Hitlerism, as
opposed to democracy.
Let us not stand idly by!

COMMUNICATION
IlOditor The Seaforth News.
Dear .Sir,— What kind of a
council is this? They said it was
to be parking meters, changed
their minds and said no. Now
they say two-hour parking. How
do we know they won't change
!their minds again? Then they
said no widening and no park-
ing on .Goderich 1St. Now they
say widening and parking.
A skip without a rudder, that
is our council. Isn't there .a
story albout 'a span and his ass?
The man .ended up carrying bath
the burden, and bhe ass while
!trying to please everybody.

first time they had an opportun-
ity to look at the .195'6 edition

The drawing is the work of

chard, A.R.C.A., W. W. IHaysom,
Bell Telephone manager for this
region, said. The illustration re-
places bhe figure of the "Spirit

ed the front covers of local dir-
ectories for many years.
There are 9,774 new and
changed listings in the latest
telephone book, according to Mr.
Haysom.
Altogether 29,500 copies ere
being delivered in the area cov-
ered by the book, as against

copies for 'distribution in Sea-
forth alone amounts to 1,375
compared with 1;950 last year,

THE RIGHT
PRICE
THE PRICE of a basic industrial product in an expand-
ing country such as Canada should be low enough to en-
courage maximum sales against world-wide competition.
The price should also be high enough. to recover all costs
and provide an adequate profit.
Without profits further expansion could not be paid for,
and expansion is necessary if there are to be new jobs
for our increasing population.
In fact, without profits there would be fewer and fewer
jobs than now, instead of more and more.
And without profits there would be no return for the
shareholders on. their investment; and there are almost
as many shareholders in industrial companies as there
are employees.
The right price for Canada, then, must include a profit
for investment in our future growth.
