The mean that cut the ribbon for what f: called "the wet opening of the _ National Park”, opened a pitfall for many feet. sundry ls now a day for games and drlnkln not. only men but women to a tagger over the fields. Children rush from Sunday school into this environment. If those who are responsible would read ivhat the scripture says. “If one of the least. of these little ones be caused to stiunble. Woe to the man by means of whom those stumbling- blocks are set up." The scripture states clearly that "no drunkarcl shall enter the Kingdom of Heav- en". and pronounces Woe on the man "that glvcth his neighbor strong drink." Should not. this man stand at the bar of Justice equally guilty with the man who drives to the "common danger."

Since 1922 we have entertained hi our home many tourists who were seeking a. quiet spot to rest; they have ‘been a splendid class of people. many helped i11 thc chin-ch- es here. Out of the hundreds we have entertained I think only five had to be told that this was a Prohibition land and we would not allow drinking in our own homo. But since the Park has been atl- vertlsed a different class are coni- ing to Cavendish. the class that take it. for granted that drink Ls part and parcel of Park grounds and golf courses. They order a supply by telephone to be brought to the park and we are iufcl-lncri by those who think they know. that nothing can be done to stop fhLs because this Park ls Dominion property and our law 1s of no ef- fect.
