JACK DROUGH PLUMBING and HEATINO MA 3-5615 BOWMANVItLE Division Street South An Open Letter to the Citizens of Bowmanville Dear Feilow Citizens : The Bowmnanville Citizens' Committee extends their appreciation and thanks toall thase who worked an behaif of contrai over the period of the recenk plebiscite. You ail worked without pay.. You airn worked for the weif are of this community, and flot in your own self-interest. The Citizens' Committee did everything possible to secure a favourabie decision, and those who supported a "NO" vote can rest assured that no f urther ef fort wouid have changed the picture. The majority of voters opposed our stand, and oniy the system of voting prevented 'three -outiets- from- being opened -in- this town. We are sorry the majority of voters f eit the way they did on thi-9 matter. Drinking wiii .increase, the probiems that accompany it wiii increasef and there is littie doubt that more and more otdilets wili be demandeci in the future. Bowmanviiie has placed itseif in the minority group of areas in the province, where, for some reason or ather, drinking is on the increase. In Ontario, this year, aut af eleven votes held,. only, Chapieau and Bowmanviiie reaxed contrais. The' other nine votes saw the contrai groups defeat the anti-contrai groups b:y-mnajarities anging f rom 51 % ta 71 %. From 950 to date, 129 comimunities have been asked ta relax con- trais, and 96 of them have ref used. In ail the votes heid over the years, the contrai forces have autvoted the anti-contrai forces 52% ta 48%. The oid "wet" versus "dry" fight has gone by the boards. Over Ontario today, progressive com- munities are working together, ta salve the probiems of beverage alcohol. Contrai is the concemn of bath drinkers and nan-drinkers..- The tawn of Bowmanviiie is f aced with a serious situation in the future. We are caunting on ca-operative action between the progres- sive forces among bath drinkers and nan-drinkers ta help this community maintain its high standard af living.à Yours for a happy cammunity, The Bowmanvilie Citizens' Committee. t:ný- - u Ï-ý ýPZ 1 irinmlqnAv. mnv..%M- le-qm
