T~2 ANAIANSTAESM~. OWMNVILI.ONTROTHUIBSDAY, MAY 17th, 1951 PA=E Voua5-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - -- ------_ _ _ _ _ _ «"Woman'u Responibilty inaa Modern World" was th. subject chosen by Mns. I. HPcrigae, who 1wau gucat speaker att he 55th An- nual Convention ai the Ontario and Durham Women's Christian Temperance Union held li Centre Street United Church, Oshawa, on May Rth. Duning the latter part af the l9th century many onganizations wce ormed, she said. Among thcm was the first Ontario Wom- en's Christian Temperance Union fonmed in 1874 in Owen Sound by Mns. Doyle. In the same yean SMrs. Youmans, Picton, organized a Union in ber home town and the first Toronto Union was form- ed in 1875. Threc yeans iter To- ronto District was onganlzed wlth five Unions and a membcnshlp ai 300. At bbc same time Frances Willard was ciected president of the first National Council of Women in the U.S.A. Women's United Effort At present in Canada she con- tinued, there are 44 women's na- tional organizatians wlth a mcm- r bership oi thrce and tbree-quar- t er millions. By Iheir united ef- fort women had gra.dualiy ex- pressed themselves and had a vaice'in moulding the pallcy of thecocuntry. Democnatic citizen- ship was more than engaging in pre-eleclion discussions and cait- lng one's vote. Democnacy was a way ai lufe wbich should be prac- tlsed in the home, school and so- cial reintionshlps, she said. The population of Canada ta- day was about .14 millian and 650 million was being spent in alco- bol which was about $50.00 per5 capita. In Ontario alone $70.0à, per capita was spent. The Cah- adian spending was 5 per cent of bbc incarne oi al Canadians and the nicohol bill last yean amn- ountcd ta 30 per cent ai the total Dominion outlay. Evcny 24 bours Canadians spent two million dol- lars in beverage alcohol, she saîd. The speaker stated that as a re- suit ai aicohol, cvery hait hour in Canada and every two hours in Ontario an illegitimate baby was born; eveny 40 minutes in Canada and every hour in Ontariolomre- one was injured li a highway ac- cident. In 15 yeurs convictions for drunken drivîng had increas- cd 212 per cent and the numben oi reportcd motor accidents had incrcased 299 per -cent. Every day li Canada and every eight days li Ontario someone was murdered. Triils have proved that liquor had played an import- ant part in the cause oi these tra- gedies, she added. Increase in the consumption ai spirits, wine and beer had been 278 per cent.. In 1939, she stated, lmprisonmenta .for crime against public marais and decency had numbcred 824 as against 1,277 in 1948. Convictions for drunk and disorderly had been 7,666 in 1939 as' against 11,685 in 1948. Convictions for drunkenness in 1939 18,120 against 32,701 in 1948. The Alcohollcs Anonymous, Mrs. Perigae stated, was said ta be ane oi the fastest growing or- ganizations in the worid. Fonm- cd oniy 15 years aga, it now had a mcmbership ai 140,000. The only nequirement for member- ship in Ihis organization was an hancst desire ta stop drinkine. Through a study of cause and ef- fect. she said, it couid be conciud- ed Ihal the educational program had faiied ta teach people ta live rewardlng. satisfactory i i ves. Many feit personally inadequate, she said, many had a feeling of frustration and futility about liv- ing and therefore lurned ta drugs ta give lempanary escape from self. This was partiy due b Ithe background provided. af bhe home, schooi, and church and was a challenge ta the christian wom- en.'

Indla's liquor iaws included provincial co-operation with state prohibition resolutiono; eliminated ail liquor advertise- ments in Indian-owned neW'spap-, ers; excluded ail drinking scenes from motion pictures; forbade liquor service on dining« cars of trains and railway station re- freshment stands; discontinued the serving of aicohliic drinks at State functions and those who used alcoholic beverages were 'barred fromn election as Congress delegates. Women, the speaker continued, were too prone to stay in the background, ta do ail the detail work and leave the leadership ±o men. If women took their place in the affairs of the nation, wars would be a thing of the past.* Peace is womnen's business, everything she created, home, famlly, civiliza- tion itself, was destroyed by war. Frances Willard had visions of the memberu of the W.C.T.U. giv- ing leadership in social reiormn work. The W.C.T.U. was the tinst woman-sponsored organization to function and marked the begin- nlng of wonld co-operatian. In closing Mrs. Perigoe urged her listeners to enllst ail women to unite in a program for total abstinence as a necessity for the security of Canadian home lufe. BROWN'S Mr. and Mns. H.
