VOte “YES” on both questigns far; 1313??“ C» ; ‘201, for the prosperity of; Miilbrook as a fcrw ard step in file; cause of True Temperance! ' The question so often heard in the present campaign. “Why make beer and liquor easier to get by having govern- ment outlets in Millbrook; "The answer is simple. The things made difficult are the things for which we strive with determination; the acquisition of which leads to overindulg- enee. Rationing, for example, tends to make people greedy as was the case during the last war when many commodi- ties were in short supply. When commodities can be con- veniently had, people will take only their immediate require- ments. This is true temperance- It is said that a people are decadent when they know the course that is best for them and yet choose some other course. Now we do not for one moment believe the peeple of Millbrook are decadent and that is why we have confidence that on January 15 they will vote “YES” on both questions and help Millbrook take a big stride towards economic re- covery. You all know the number of empty stores on our main street at the present time. How long do you think that the owners can continue to pay the taxes; We have heard of one large building that may be torndown to escape the tax load. The village will still have to raise the same amount of money for schools and services. How will they‘do it? That is simple. they will raise the taxes on every home in the village. There is no other answer. We have heard people say “Why should I vote for Govern ment Outlets in Millbrook, I don’t drink nor do I own a. busi ness‘: Let us tell you why‘you should vote “YES”. Vote "YES" In Your Own Interests Legal Control In Millbrook Can Contribute to The Cause of True Temperance We have read an article signed as usual "Citizens Bet- ; ate ballots V terment League of Millbrook".

In paragraph six they stated that 89% of crimi- nals admitted drinking alcohol. As Government fig- ures state that 3 out of 4 adults in Canada use alcohol to some extent. We do not find this figure on crimi- nals surprising. If they stated that a recent survey of “car thieves” showed that 100% held driver’s lincen- ses we do not think this would influence neonle to destroy their licenses.

Paraéranh four contained some careless mis- handling of the truth. In this paragraph they stat- ed that Cobalt, Waterloo Township and Waterloo City voted to stay “dry”. How absurd! These places have had Government Outle(ts for years they also have beverage rooms. The recent votes simply turned thumbs down on Cocktail Bars- 3. In paragraph three they make out quite a good case why some people prefer bootleggers. However we still pref-er to see Tegal Government Outlets.
