CHARLES DALEY Minister of Labour " Fishing and the Produc- TEMPERANCE FORCES OF SOUTH ONTARIO HELD GATHERING IN WHITBY (The Times:Gazette) "I am asking you to give serious thought to the nationalization of the liquor traffic. 1 know that both the Conservatives and the Liberals will say that this is C.C.F. propaganda, but the idea did not originate with the C.C.F. - "With camplete national control of the liquor traffic, there could be no private gain nor private profit, no ad- vertising for profit, and no encourage- ment to drink--quite the reverse. To- day, it is to the interest of the liquor manufacturers to prod the Govern- ment on to do certain things to in- crease the sale, and they are doing jt» The above sentiments constituted one of the major elements in a dy- namic address delivered by the Rev. Dr. C. W. DeMille, of Toronto, general secretary of the Ontario Temperance Federation, at a convention of the South Ontario County Branch of the organization, held on Thursday after- noon in the assembly room of the local United Church, with the pastor, Rev. C. G. Park, occupying the chair. There was a small but enthusiastic attendance, with many clergymen pre- sent from various churches. Rev. Dr. DeMille's address covered many phases of the question to which the Federation devotes its time and efforts. He quoted figures to show that of every 1000 persons living north of the Rio Grande on the North Am- erican continent, 2 are actively subject 'to tuberculosis, b are tainted with ven- ereal diseasé, 7 are living under.the shadow of cancer and 13 are chronic alcoholics. . He pointed out that, in the case of the first three classes, the state and society to cure their con- dition, but, as far as inebriates are concerned, they are used as a source of income. "And we call ourselves civilized." ' : "ot us face the facts", asserted the speaker, grouping under various heads the menace which alcohol and its con- sumption affords to democratic institu- tions, to fatal accidents, to moral and religious advancement, and to Cana- dian health conditions, through its as- sociation with the incidence and spread of venereal disease. He de-. clared alcohol is the outstanding cause of parental, as well as juvenile delin- quency, 'that it canstitutes a major political problem because of the con- trol exercised over political leaders by the barons of the alcohol industry and that it is the cause of an economic tragedy, inasmuch as, in addition to the huge sum of 335 million dollars expended in one year in Canada in liquor consumption, an amount ap- proximately 89.69% of this sum is also expended to repair the damage caused by such consumption. Rev. Mr. Johnson, in a forceful speech, told of his experiment in Kim- beurne Park Church, where he enlisted the efforts of 30 young members of his Men's Class in a practical exposition of individual enterprise. The branch re-affirmed its stand against alcohol as "Enemy Number One", its opposition to all alcoholic beverages and to the maintenance of beverage parlors and wine shops, and advocated the more widespread use of Temperance Posts and of public speaking contests, as a means of im- plementing the theme which engrossed the attention of many of the speakers, the emphasis on education along tem- perance lines which was advocated generally by those present, after its introduction into the discussion by the everything possible is being done by Rev, A. R. Whattam of /Toronto, and its enthusiastic championship by Rev. Dr. DeMille. : The téllowing officers were chosen: F.

Shortage of help and pressure of work have empha- sized the' valve of using machines instead of muscles wherever possible, and dairymen have found the answer in the mechanical milking machine, Because the purchase of a milking machine saved them hours of time and labor, thousands of dairymen have been able to carry on and . benefit from the great demand for dairy products inrecent years.
