Toronto, Dec. 13.â€"Domestic liquor prices in Ontario will be reduced shortâ€" ly, Premier Mitchell Hepburn revealed vesterday. Hon. A. St. Clair Gordon, chairman of the Liquor Control Board, is in Monâ€" treal discussing the situation . with Quebec Liquor Commission â€" officials who recently announced reduction in prices in that province. The extent of the reduction and the date it becomes effective will not be known until Mr. Gordon returns. Mr. Hepburn said that a price adâ€" justment was apparently the only soluâ€" tion to the increase in smuggling and the rapid decrease in liquor board revâ€" enues. He maintained that the revenue decrease did not indicate a decrease in consumption but merely that consumers were being supplied from other than legal sources.

Two fines were impased for convicâ€" tions on charges of careless driving in police court on Tuesday; two charges were dismissed and one man was sent to jail for ten days for driving while intoxicated. - Warned Twice Constable Angelo Guolla said that James Hughes, who was charged with driving while drunk, was thrown out of two beverage rooms last Saturday night and brought out of a third by himsel{, because he had too much to drink. "I told him to get a taxi and go home," the Constable said. "He got into his own car and I took him out of it. I told him he was too drunk to drive and that he had better hire a car to go home. He went into the office of the Blue Bird Taxi Company, where he stayed about ten minutes. He came out with a woman and got into his car and began to drive. I stopped him and brought him in." Hughes mumbled a story about mereâ€" ly trying to park his car mébre safely but it was not believed. He was sentâ€" enced to a jail term of ten days and his permit to drive was ordered canâ€" celled for six months. $20 or 30 Days The fact that he had driven for 18 years and never had an accident, did not prevent Horace Larouche from beâ€" ing fined $20 and costs and having his driving permit cancelled for 10 days after a conviction on a charge of careâ€" less driving. Lt ces 4. MBR .4 tn cA "F Harry Stone a witness, said that Larouche drove through a stop street and hit the truck in which he was riding. Convincing evidence was given by Mr. and Mrs. John Geddes, who said that they were crossing the intersecâ€" tion of Birch Street and Third Avenue when Larouche‘s car came through the stop street. Had not Mr. Geddes grabâ€" bed his wife by the arm and pulled her back, they both would have been hit. Hit Hydrant, Veranda Louis Landry was fined $10 and costs on a charge of careless driving. R.

He was travelling too fast to make the turn and his car skidded into a hydrant and smashed three posts off a veranda on a nearby house. Landry said that the road was blockâ€" ed and that he was forced into the turn on the slippery street. Two Dismissed A charge of careless driving against Norman Koza was dismissed. He ramâ€" med car driven by Louis Carsone from behind at the corner of Fourth Avenue ~and Spruce Street ‘but conâ€" vinced the court that he was unable to stop because of slippery roads.

Santa Claus will find plenty of trees this season on which to place his gifts, for buyers were in the field early this year and orders have been placed on Several million Christmas trees will constitute a portion of ‘Canada‘s conâ€" tribution to the Yuletide cheer in the United States this monh. New York City alone takes about threeâ€"quarters of a million of these trees. In additon to the Christmas tree output, Canada lends further color to the American festive seene with large exports of holly and mistletoe. These come largely from â€" British Columbia where holly hedges and bushes are plentiful. The New York market absorbs the bulk of these exports because of the popuâ€" larity in that area of the particularly large and brilliant berries which are borne by the ‘Canadian variety of hnolly. a ;,i. large scale, according to the Indusâ€" trial Department 6f the Canadian Naâ€" tional Railways. ”â€"Iâ€"H'addition to the large cut of Christmas trees for the American marâ€" afmét Nxcholasâ€"-the patron saint of this celebrationâ€"as well as with holly and mistletoe. ket, anywhere up to a 1,000,000 Canaâ€" dian homes are adorned during the Yuletide season with the favoribe tree Piles of Christmas trees are now coming into evidence about country stations of the Canadian National Railâ€" ways in the Maritime Provinces, Quebéc and Ontario, these trees later being the centre of Christmas celebrations in hnomes across the continent. Forest conservationists agree that the cutting of Christmas trees helps, rather than harms, the forests. ‘Trees of a size suitable for Yuletide purposes are regarded as undergrowth which sap the strength from more hardy specimens and retard their growth. In stands of marketable timber, this undergrowth would have to be cleared out anyway.
