In 1924, at Rest Cottage, Evanstown, Illinois, Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) President Anna A. Gordon marked an historic occasion. She gathered together WCTU workers and rang the "Jubilee Bell," announcing that "Ontario has gone dry." Accom- panied on the pianoforte, the women sang the doxology. Four years into American national prohibition, Gordon was celebrating the fact that dry sisters and brothers north of the border had beaten back an attempt to overturn provincial prohi- bition. Speaking at the Ontario WCTU convention weeks earlier, Gordon had reminded her audience that in the forthcoming pleb- iscite they would be voting "not only for Ontario, but for Can- ada, the Empire and the World as well" (CWRTNov. 1924)
