OUR READERS WRITE Government twofaced about alcohol Salvation Army Guelph Citadel Corps Dear Sirs Mr John Clement minister of consumer and commercial relations recently announced in the legislature that regulations will be amended to permit taverns and other licenced establishments open Sunday December 31st from p to and a lengthier period of business for dining room lounges and licenced dining rooms to serve alcoholic beverages the same day The Lord Day Act Implies there should be no work on Sunday except it be a work of necessity or mercy One questions whether the Government of Ontario Is the Act It seems to me the government is bent on making alcohol more easily obtained and for lengthier hours On the one hand authorities admit alcohol is the nations number one drug problem On the other hand our government not too long ago permitted the brewing industry to service beaches and summer resort areas opened additional facilities for selling alcoholic beverages and lowered the drinking age from twentyone to eighteen This seems like a strange way to combat a serious social evil A ban should be placed on advertising using lovely looking youth with alcoholic beverages and a realistic substitute picture of the drunk those whose mental capabilities have been damaged by alcohol the broken the bereaved who are victims of alcohol given Instead This latest move relating to the opening of taverns on Sunday Is a further encroach ment on the Lord Day and should not be permitted Concerned persons should write their member of the Legislative Assembly at Queens Park Toronto write Premier William Davis and also the editor of your newspaper Readers are further encouraged to get church ministers and congregations to send in a petition opposing this recent unnecessary legislation Do it now To delay is to decide Ivan Major Guelph Ontario The Acton Free Press Wednesday December 1972 Mary top student in horsemanship Mary Indian Irish situations similar Rockwood Bowling Dear Editor Having scanned a library book entitled The Unjust Legislation concerning the Fall of North America to the White Man which deprived the native peoples of the dearest things in life namely justice and freedom it was obvious this sad state of affairs profited no one sensibly It brought untold misery and woe to millions This was colonialism in all its glory and still is when a percentage of our Indian population die yearly as did the Irish in the years of the fumlne They died by the thousands at home and on their journeys abroad Surviving food surpluses were taken out of the country at the request of Queen Victoria as a token of her love and respect for the Irish who had done her no Ireland story is ancient In this respect and latest reports show that British rascality has taken new life and spread to the republic to put on end to the peace and harmony that has existed there since the foundation of Ulster in the This last act In the play will endanger human life in Let us pay back our debt Ireland If they are not shot by the British army or the Ulster Defence they will be shot by those trying to maintain law and order or those waging the struggle for Justice or freedom from British rule These arc the evils that are instrumental In Ireland s unrest from the start and as long as they exist Ireland will remain a playground for British rascality The same goes for the plight of the Indians The gutless politicians referred to in the book similar to those who would not help the Irish situation will never become concerned about improving the life of the Indians on the reserves that are In reality concentration camps We can only blame the monarchy and the leadership of Britain for It all Some years ago I put letter In a western paper similar to this which drew some comment When I summed them oil up one need not wonder at the present state of the world To conclude I might say that what you hear on the radio and see on TV is somewhat the same i inutile Ihrlr the

most of all of their lack of food in that land of plenty It affected me deeply and I wrote the Premier to the effect that those beautiful horses were a special landmark for Alberta which no other country has and would they please take food to those horses in the winter I received a nice answer Today beg the Premier of Ontario through your paper to protect and winter feed our own wild life landmark the deer They say there are skeletons of starved deer to be found In the woods right here in Central Ontario Did you ever consider that those deer arc descendants of the deer which roamed the forests of Ontario in the days of our forefathers Some of them provided meat for the tables of the pioneers of Ontario Many a lime it was the only meat they had access o or could afford We took the forest and the food it provided away from these peaceful animals Let us pay back our debt to our beautiful landmark the deer Yours truly Ont Loaf a hi Optimist r rmcr on by ice Miller home a tingle
