rm: cuannxsn. *§>QQBQ Edward Island N“ M18 mw"

Tho Prince Edward Island Temperance Pederation wishes respect- iully to place berets you certaln mu which should be carefully con- sidered before the Plebiscitv on June 39th.

In the pamphlet "Iniorination on the Pleblselte," issued by the Government, we are told that the choice is between a “New ‘Temper- ance Act" and the "Old Prohibition Act" as it existed before the Cullen Amendment. It is stated that the fundamental distinction is doctors’ prescriptions. Further on it is stated that "the question to be sub- mitueo to the people of the Province is, paraphrased, "Do you want doctors to write prescriptions or not?" Is this an attempt to confuse the people? The issue is not, “Do you want doctors to write prescrip- tions or not?" ' The fundamental issue is, "Do you wish alcohol sold under the Prohibition Act for medicinal purposes only, or do you wish it sold under the New Temperance Act, so called, for beverages pur- poses?" .-

Let us now look at the name, "New ‘Temperance Act.’ It is pro- posed that this Act is to prmnote temperance especially by doing two things, which we shall consider in the reverse order. We are told that the New Temperance Act will prevent those under twenty-one years o! age from getting liquor. Does the Prohibition Act permit them to get it? It is stated in the 1940 Amendment that "the Lieu- tenant-Governor-in-Council may make regulations for the issuing o! certificates permitting the sale to persons not under the age of twenty- one years. o! beer, ale, porter, stout, lager, ‘or light wines." I! the Government knew that this clause was being violated, and did not pro- perly enlorce the Act, what proof have we that the New Temperance Act will be eniorced?

Secondly, this so-cslled “New Temperance Act", we are told, is aimed at the sin of intempersnce. If there is intemperance in this Province, it has been allowed under the Prohibition Act, which the Government was supposed to enforce to prevent intempc ance. How then can we believe that the Government will ettforce the New Temp- erance Act ii they did not enforce the Prohibition Act.

Again, in connection with the sins of intensperance, we are told that where it is made to appear to the satisfaction of any Justice, that any person, by excessive drinking of liquor, mis-spends, wastes, or lessens his estate,...or endangers or interrupts the peace and ha/ppi- ness of his family, etc., the justice may make an order of interdiction, directing the cancellation of any permit held by that person. ‘Phat clause has little value, save for propaganda purposes, because very few are going to hold up their friend or relative to public ridicule. Ruth- ermore, as long as there is liquor available, there is bound to be ex- cessive drinking, with all its attendant evils. '

It is sometimes said that if we have mus-e outlets for the sale of pure liquor, there will be less bootlegging. Ontario has Government stores and beverage rooms, yet while in 1934 there were 5067 convic- tions for violations of the Liquor ‘Act, in 1942 there were 6901 such convictions. In i938 Premier Taschereau made a speech in the Legis- lature favoring the keeping of liquor stores open to a late hour. The reason he gave for this was that the bootlegging business was in operation at all times‘ of the year in every section of the Province.

_ln British Columbia, where they had Government stores for some

years. two and a half years alter beverage rooms were opened in Van- couver, ihe Vancouver Sun, s. leading newspaper, (never notorious for

‘its dryness), said: "Vancouver at the present time is the bootleggers’

heaven. There are ten times as many bootleggers in this city as there are Lawyers. Olergymen, Doctors, and Engineers. The open operation of bootlegging joints is a disgrace to Vancouver". Sometime later, the British Columbia Liquor Board ordered one of its stores in Van- couver to remain open all night.

When this was challenged, the Board defended its action on the ground that it had to do this to best the bootlegge . In no Province in Canada has the Government store or thebeverage room eliminated bootlegging. Think well over what you are going to do on the 28th of June. No Government could have passed an Amendment to the Prohibition Act permitting the sale of beer and wine, etc., by the glass, but, having given the Government permission under the New Temperance Act, so called, to selkliquor for beverage purposes, they doubtless will not be committing anycontradlction to pass an Amend- ment to the New Temperance Act, so called, permitting the sale of liquor by the glass in Hotels, Inns. and Restaurants.

N911!" 5°98 i119 59111118 0f liquor by the glass decrease drinking. Slnos Ontario has had beer parlors, the amount consumed has in- creased 17%. Only in Prince Edward Island has the increase been small, due, in large sneasurc, to the fact that the Prohibition Act has been retained. During the years when Government sale and beverage rooms have operated in mostof the Provinces, here are the facts as furnished by the Dominion Bureau ‘of Statistics: tion of spirits increased 218%, 608%. Remember, a hphibltlon Act badly administered is always better than a. Government sale Act well administered, because with a Government Sale Act, you have nothing higher of’ which to think or for which to work; but with s Prohibition Act you have the highest ideal at which to aim and for which to '

lit we vote for the New ‘Ihmperance Act, which is nothing more nor less than a Government Sale Act, W9 my Niret it in s. few years. when we realize the conditions which will exist in our Province. It will be many years beiore we can Prohibition back again, so think well before you vote.

Bill hoped devoutly that it would. l-le had an err d out at the cabin on the lake and Gwenn could so along if sihe liked-take a hike through the woods. Pilrposely he made that hike a stilt one and Gwenn, declaring herself exhausted insisted on stopping at the tavern She had ,retended to be surprised ro meet Ten, but Bill had seen through that. Gwenn had broken her word by making that dato with Parker. Aster today, whatever hap- pened to the lad, Bill was through with Gvwenn. CHAPTER. XXVI]!

Ten Parker had been perfectly amendable to the suggestion about the cold dhower. I-le had merely omitted the usual procedure o! re- moving hls clothes before enjoying it. Now water streamed from lanky spikes of yellow hair, Ircm hose Kind elbows. -.

"G'bye, lolks", the boy shouted. “Goin' home now. Goin’ home to Auntie. Auntie’s a great girl-ii you don't weaken. Home — sweet hcme!" Before any one could reach him, Ten turned and fled.

"Stop himl" April cried. "He's not fit to drive." Elbe darted lor- ward ln pursuit, but an antagonistic chair arm snaxlvd a trill o1 the yellow frock and in the moment it took to tear herself loose. Noel got ahead of her. Noel it was who caught up her coat and dashed down the steps alter Ten. Noel who saw him leap into his car and managed at the last spilt second, to hurl herself in aster hkn. The door banged. They were off just as April with Bdll behind her, ran downthe steps to the parking yard. “Where's your car?" sihe cried. “He'll kill her!"

"Over this way. Here get in“. Bill's car was not in a convenient position. By the time he had jockeyed it out of the parking space, Ten had s good start on his pursuers.

WStcp on it." April pleaded. "Oh, we'll never catch him!"

"Yes, we _can. I know u cut that will lop off a piece. Sit nuns." Bill veered as sharply as he dared on the wet road, shot 111D a grassy lane ihrouglh a gate and across bisn-py pasture land out to the qpen high- woy. Just ahead they could see Ten's light wobbling rrcm side to side, hear his lusty voice informing the night that he was a "J-Jolly good lei-low . . "What can you do?" April moaned.

"Crowd him to the curb - the

bank, I mean." Bill answered. “He'll get mad and want to stop to argue it out. That'li be my cue for rush- ing back and nabblng him. 1 may have to hold him on the way home, while you drive, Sorry he isn't in better shape. Id that waiter slipped hisn another drink. its my fault. I should have stayed upstairs and watched him. Now, April, sit tight here we go—"

Bill had been waiting for the spot where the road widened before he mot ahead, swervlng round Ten and crowding him against the gras- sy bank. Just as he predicted, Ten crashed on his brakes, started shouting angry questions. Unfort- unately, however, the boy ‘was not too far gone to guess Bill's intent- ion. As Brown jumlped out and ran back, ‘Ian's roadster seemed to gather itself together. It leaped like a jack rabbit, grazed Bill's car, went plunging and cavorting down the higvhroad. A moment, and Bill and April were again in pursuit, but this time with sinking hearts. They knew they could not catch the road- ster before it reached tlhe danger point of the road-a curve when better and sobercr drivers than Ten Parker had met catastrophe.

"Hardly any traffic tonight." Bill crouched 10w over the wheel. ‘May- be he'll get by after all." ‘ .

In Ten's car, meanwhile, Noel sat and waited for the end. Long ago slime had given up hope that they would make it. New, with that curve in sight, Noel cried out s warning against skidding.

“Can't skid Mis, Chrismuss!" Ten shouted. "Never skid ‘i’ you g0 fas‘ ‘nuff. Getter stop on it." Ten step- ped. Frotn behind, Bill and April watched his accelerate, try the curve on two wheels. l-lc was sing- ing, shouting. as the car turned over l/wice and landed in the ditch. - While Ten sang and shouted, Noel thought. She thought of death. She didn't want Ten to kill hlim- self . whether he killed her didn't matter In life she couldn't have this boy she loved so wildly- wasn't clever or attractive or char- ming enough to win him. She could never have Ten in any other way than this. Never have Ten in lire so why not-why riot die with him?

The next three weeks dragged intermlnsblv, held to: April but the one comforting thought-that Ten and Noel had not been killed. After anxious days and nigiht, trying hours of waiting for doctors’ ver- dicts and results o! consultations,
