As one com- missioned of God to give leadership | inthe Christian way of life, I should feel I had done less than ry duty were I to remain silent in the presence of that which is so patently wrong.

It is my firm conviction that unless Christian people of our country and our community in particular do more definitely express their Chris- tian conscience against the com- promises that many in our govern- ments are making with forces in our.land, we shall come to the same ruin that evil in high places has brought about in other parts of the world. Because of this I would make my own protest and I trust the protest of all Christian people in this community, against the action taken by the council of this town on Monday, May 17. As you all know the .council on that date voted 5-2 to petition the Liquor Control Board of Ontario to instal a retail liquor store in Whitby." Questions Legality "I would pay tribute to those gentlemen in the minority who re- fused to give their vote to such a proposal, Concerning the authority the town council has to make such a request without consultation with the people whose interests they rep- resent, I reserve judgment. I am confident, however, they could re- ceive no mandate from the major- ity of electors in this town to put | such a project into effect. That they are legally entitled to present such a petition is not at all clear due to the vague character of the whole provincial legislation at pres- ent in force upon this subject." "There is no question in my mind that these gentlemen would have the sympathy of the provincial government in their action. I am equally certain that they have .iot the sympathy of the best people in this community with their proposal. To . say that this proposal repre- sents the desire of the best and most public-spirited citizens in Whitby is to put the moral char- acter of our town in a bad light in- deed.

The Reeve went on to state, 'I believe this will be for the bene- fit of the town of Whitby. . How any mean could imagine that half the people of town are ignorant of what may benefit the place is a little hard to accept. 'I am not thinking,' resumed the Reeve, 'of the revenue.
