what appears to be jour philosophy of life as its relates to government and society suggested in the edito rial of yesterdays tribune could wreck service ciub because hundreds of thous ands of people have shown sup port for the service club operat ed draws and are breaking the law by doing so you say why not let them be within the law but does the lawbreaker come within the law the aver age person would answer let him keep the law but you have another solution bring press ure to bear on our reluctant legislators in an effort to rid the country of unrealistic law but to where does such a principle lead us does a law become unrealistic regardless of its actual wisdom when you can gather together enough people who dont like it and will put pressure on the govern ment have gambling and drinking which all history con demn suddenly become wisdom and righteousness because a lot of people like to imbibe or have a little flutter you proceed to indicate how unrealistic the antigambling law is by making the startling declaration that the federal government gambling laws could well deal a crippling blow- to all service club work if it applied as has been the case in this and nearby localities what sort of club is this whose work can be dealt a crippling blow simply because the government does not relax its antigambling laws you must forgive me if i am in clined to doubt your assertion i have good reason for my scepticism as witness the head line to one of your news items art latcham gives 52500 to lions club as car draw is threatened with raid if mr latcham could give 2500 alter it was discovered that the draw was illegal could he not have given the same amount before hand and without the draw i do not say that he should have done so necessarily but the possibility was there and if one lion can do this think what a pride of lions could do it seems to me that there is something lacking in the spirit and genious of any organization church or club that must limp along on the take from petty gambling shedding tears be cause the government wont re lax its laws bursting with righteous indignation when it is caught outside the pale of the law calling a law stupid because it trips them up in car rying on with a less than-praisc- worthy method of raising funds voting unanimously to pressure the government for a change in the law rather than exerting themselves to discover a metiiod of fundraising that is beyond mora question another astonishing declara tion of yours is they those who consider gambling and drinking immoral think noth ing of accepting the many gov ernment services which the gov ernment could not pay for with out the huge taxes derived from the sale of liquor but we are not hoodwinked by this bit of eyewash if this is not mixing the metaphors too badly the antigambling and antiliquor people are not naive enough to accept this as a rebuke they are not going to bow their heads in shame in face of this myth who but rip vanwinkle could be unaware of the fact that for every dollar the government receives in liquor revenue it must pay out from s135 to s550 depending on the area taxed in vain at tempts to make amends for the frightful blight on human life created by the unmittigated curse of alcoholic beverages if the antiliquor people have any thing to be ashamed of it is their anaemic protest against their being robbed to the end that the liquor industrv might be kept supplied with customers let us face it mr editor the beerbarons are not subsidizing us we are subsidizing them when you hint at the good hindered by the interference of the law an unrealistic law i am reminded of a character created by george bernard shaw sir horace bodger the distiller who restored a cathe dral gave half a million pounds to his partv handed over five thousand pounds to the salvation army shelters to save his scul no one will ac cuse shaw of being a religious crank but he saw the hypocrisv of doing evil that good may come or perhaps i should sav the blindness it is worthy of note that he once said if a natural choice between drunken ness and sobriety were possible in our civilization i would leave the people free to choose but when i see an enormous capitalistic organization pushing drink under peoples noses at every corner and pocketing the price whilst leaving me and others to pay the colossal dam ages then i am prepared to smash that organization and make is as easy for a poor man to be sober if he wants to as it is for his dog you do support your general stand by a reference to the fact that premier robarts and at torneygeneral cass consider the present antigambling law to be out of tune with the feelings of the people but we are not impressed what would vou ex pect hundreds of thousands of people and service clubs pressuring them every chris tian man will honour these leaders of our government for their office but we are not so overcome with awe that we for get that as men they are poli ticians please believe me when i say that despite my disagreement with your editorial i still think you put out a very fine paper and you have my every good wish for its continued success arthur walsh
