Weston is losing business by having an absence of liquor outlets in the town.

We are attempting, in a minor way, to promote a vote on liquor in Weston, however, since we think the population change over the past few years, justifies the taking of the question to the people again. If the majority. of people in Weston don‘t want liquor, surely they shouldn‘t object to having their preferâ€" ence shown on a baillot. But we don‘t agree with them.

One of the frustrating things which crops up when a child is killed is there is seldom anyone or anything to blame for the tragedy. If blame can be placed, a cure can be found, but how can we blame a child for running into the path of a car or other vehicle? Can we really blame the parents when they teach a child to stay off the streets, only to have a policeman explain their youngster disregarded their careful inâ€" structions?
