We have been placed in the world and pretty soon it will be our `world. We don't want anyone to makers mess` of it for us and` we don't want to make a mess of it ourselves. The young people, he said, were ral- lying to the support of their older brothers and parents. _` The ~0.T.A.. has -certain defegts but most` of `its failures are due -to non-enforcement? _ The Act had been a great.su`ccess and had brought happiness and. pros- `perity and raised `up _a fine genera'- A; .3 T ~ g tion of young people. avuaa uaaaun Batu. 3118 mm uvea 1111- dqr the license system and.theO.C_l`.A. and found the latter a wonderful success. She heard a `lot of talk about drunkeness but, although she had lived in Toronto for six years,_ she had never seen it. She knew` nothing of rivate drinking and, while she `had een a student in touch . with students,-she had" never seen, a hip flask. She had been in the West, and described Government Control as the biggest farce that was ever` perpetrated on a Keople. . Conditio'ns in Alberta are t e same as in the l old bar-room days,only the name be- 1 ing different. V Purpose of Meeting Before tailing on any, of the speakers, the chairman announced `the purpose of the meeting which "was to publicly express disapproval of Premier s `Ferguson's action in in- troducing Govern ent Sale into the ;present election; to denounce as false, the reckless and unwarranted statement of. the` Premier that p twenty-five years, ago a girl would hardly speak to a young man with the smell of liquor on his breath and to-day a girl will hardl speak to a young man unless he as ; to im- press the people that the younger generation stands firmly behind the I `0.T,A.; to encourage the church and J other organizations which have stood 1` forvthe cause of temperance, and to 3 assure the citizens that the votes of 1 the young people will be cast in favor of the dry candidate and to .urge.~ everyone to do likewise. " . Must Press Forward Miss Hiltz stated that the young people of Ontario must not only stand firm but press forward and fig t for the maintenance of the O. `T. . and its improvement and en- forcement. Young people, she` said, are restless. There are many things they ,- want--more happiness for themselves, greater integrity in pub- lic life, world ybrotherhood--and they ,wouijd satisfy their desire for higher `things through sobriety-, and purity, `building up manhood and national life, so they must supportanyplaw working to that end and oppose any Jaw` which does" not_.- ' ' The present` generation of young people is the first to grow up under the O'.'1`.A., Miss H-iltz continued, and it is for them to testify whether it is good or evil. By the use .of their votes and influence they could give the..next generation the protection that was given them by their parents in the pasing of the 0.T.A. We are `saying, here and in _ten other `places to-night that_we don't want iquor and that we stand firm _for the O.'l`.A.," she declared`. We have said it at `twenty-five meetings in Ontario in the past two weeks at- , ` tended by 25,000 young people. There have been no meetingswith even 100 young people saying that they want liquor and are against the 0.T.A." She statedthat there was_.a ` rally of young people in Hamilton i_n support of Government Control but there were on! 87 there and, when a resolution avoring Government Control -was placed before them not even `all the thirty-seven` voted for 3 it. 33% A Wonderful Success" 0 Miss Mason said sheihad lived tin- / es Ann `kn Idnnnnn IIn`An-n' -.u-J 1.1..
