Within three months, nine out of ten adult Canadians used a car for some pur- pose or other. Nearly 7,000,000 use a car at some time each week. Twenty-seven per cent of all housewives use a car every sin- gle day. Other major users: Profession- als, managers, proprietors, executives (60 per cent); salesmen (37 per cent); skilled workers (44 per cent); semi-skilled work- ers (30 per cent); farmers (41 per cent).

There is no question that sit- ting member oi all parties fell over one another in their en- thusiastic reception and support of the measure. The vote on the final reading gave proof of that.

BORDEN LIQUOR. STORE

sir,-In reading the letters in your valuable paper regarding the liquor store at Borden, it seems to me that this should be a ques- tion that all people on our fair Island should be alarmed at. in the first place cnmouflaging this liquor store as just accommoda- tion for tourists is an insult to the many splendid people who visit our Island each summer, and are very welcome guests who help fill our churches on Sunday and join heartily in singing God's praise. They come from the hot city offices and other places of

labor and are refreshed with the cool breezes and restful beaches our Island has to offer.

The.road from Borden branci1cs'

off to all parts of our Island. Our Premier should realize that there are far too many accidents now. and not plan to tempt strangers with liquor and make our roads unsafe to travel on. Is there any- one who has tourist. accommoda- tion to offer who would welcome drunks? I think not. I trust that every Christian on our Is- land will join in the protest with Rev. Burton Crowe. "If God be for us who can be against us." The Bible says "Woe to the drunk- ards". What is in store for those who tempt them to drink? The churches should be strong enough to say "We will not have the breweries to reign over us" and send the men in the vendor's shop out to do some work that will be helpful to our Island.

I understand the Boy scouts endeavor to do a good deed each day. It is hard to understand why men would turn them out of their meeting place and turn it into a rum shop that may destroy many of those boys.

From an address in the Grand Jury at the opening of the Trin- ily Term of the Supreme Court for Queens County, by Chief Justice Hodgson, June 24, 1862:

"It may not be inopportune to observe, that the Legislature has. in its recent session, passed an Act which authorizes the Corpor- ntion of this City to limit the number of licensed taverns with- in its jurisdiction-a step unques- tionably in the right direction; and if the intention of the Legis- lature he faithfully carried out (as doubtless it will be) the result must be, the suppression of many low taverns, heretofore-to our scandal and reproach as is people -not lnaptly denominated legal- ized dens of drunkenness and in- famy, and which cannot fail to have in direct and salutary influ- ence upon the future peace and welfare of this community."
