Sir. - I would like to take this opportunity. through the medium of your paper. to offer my sincere congratiisltiuns to Mr. Alex lilac- Isaac. who has expressed himself on the floor of the I.ocal Legis- lature as being oppn-ed to our present and outdated Iiqiinr laws, which are now in existence in this Province.

First of all. I wish to make my- self clear on tvto piimts. namely that I am not I spukesnian for the P.I-7.I. Pharmaceiiiicsl Association of which I am it member. and secondly as my friends and close associates well know I am not I uger of alcoholic l)(tfl;tQI'( of any description. not even the well-an egpted cocktail which ll today con- Ildered by the maiority in be quits proper.

living on riiliby." as it is most .

comniotily known. llmve,ver. I do not know of any of our members making such I livlihood but I state here. and now without any doubt whatsoever that If any of us sold all the rubbing alcohol. shav- ing lotions etc.. for which we ltava the request. that one could make to good living if he could rest with his cnnscieiice. without the sale of any of our varied lines and pra- scriptioiis.

How long then are we going to permit conditions such as these. to exist" No doubt there are many. who upon reading this letter. will shake their heads and in disagree- ment. wonder what. I am trying to do In writing an article siieli Is this. hiit lfeel that the time In long past dug for the people of this Province tn arise from behind the myth of the past century and keep pace with that rest of the. world.

I do not intend to become in- volved In I series of useless dis- ciissions such as. "We must. have something besides liquor to offer tniirists" or as to the work of the Temperance Federation as I know full well the folly of all this. As I mentioned in the beginning. I am not a drinker nor do I intend to start but I sincerely feel that if the youth as well as other age groups in this Province are going to drink. and no doubt they will. as we. are of no different origin than our brethren of Sister Provinces. tliiit VII should be able to purchase our liquor on a more sans basis than the conditions exlstinlltoday.

While I feel that this letter will not reault In any drastic change of our Liquor laws now or In the im- mediate future. I think it is time that someone called a Ittade I spade. -
