Editor Gp.o. i - An Open Letter' Thé Voters'of the Town of Bowmanville Dear Feiiow-Voters:- Wednesday, October 26t,4, you will have the opportunity ta vote on three questions regarding the establishment of further autiets for the sale of alcoholic beverages fof this' area, in the Town of Bowmanville. There are bound to be some heated discussions over these questions. There will be many appeais ta prejudice and ta emotional argument. There will be same who wili vote on an emotianal basis, but this letter is ta the reasonable peaple& of the town, drinkers or non-drinkers. Why are there regulations govening the sale and consumptiori of alcoholic beverages ? Every country has them, and in this pr9?vince, where 65% of the peaple use beverage aicohol, they certainly aren't the resuit of pressure by any minority group. There are regulatians because reasanable people, bath drinkers and nan-drinkers, recagnize that the consump- tion af alcohoiic beverages has in it certain inherent da ngers. For instance, in Ontario, 4,000 new alcohalics are created each year ta add to aur existing 50,000, flot ta mention many other problems. Is the limitation of the number outets a crood way ta regulate the consumption of alcohal? Many people, drinkers and non-drinkers, think it is. The record shows there is a definite relationship between the amount of beverage alcohol cansumed and the number of outiets. That is why aur Ontaria Govern- ment has limited the number af outiets in those areas where it had the power ta open as many as it wishecL That is why this year every cammunity, that has faced a vote on this question, has voted against the establish- ment of new outiets. With drinkers in the majarity, further autiets have been voted dawn everywhere. The maintenance of adeqýate contrais 15 the concern f bth the rinker and the nn-drinker. A reasonable man doesn't have ta be a non-drinker ta recognize the need for contrai over the sale of alcoholic *beverages. A reasonable man recognizes that contrai over their sale is alsa. contrai over their consumptian. A reasonable man recagnizes that a vote against the relaxing of these contrais is not a reflectian on his awn ability ta handie beverage alcahol, or a moral judgement on his personal habits. The Citizens Committee feels there are suf- ficient outets in thi area ta serve those who wish ta purchase beverage alcohol. We -f eel that the con- venience having outets in Bowmanville is f ar out- weighed by the dangers ta this area in relaxing contrais. MIL Mr. and Mrs. Carl Langstaff, ders or Mrs. N.
