H. D. Tresidder, representative. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1927 _-- FOR THE RECORDS D. B. Hanna, chaitman of the Liquor Con- {rol Board of Ontario, announced yesterday afternoon that he had decided to open a Liquor Store in Oshawa. Coincident with' that an- nouncement was the local news of premises be- ing secured on Simcoe Street Narth. \ Mr. Hanna and his colleagues protest that their decision was in no wise influenced by a sceret petition of an alleged 2,000 of names which was put in his hands recently. The To- ronto "Star quotes the chairman as citing the Aesopian fable of The Man, the Boy, and the Ass to explain this sudden move. Mr. Hanna, who is, popularly supposed to be the controlling genius of the Liquor Control Doard has made a mistake. Time alone will tell just how great that mistake was both for the fortunes of the system which he heads, the t*overnment for which he functions, or for the city of Oshawa which has been treated with open contempt. ; For the time being, however, the facts which are matters of record sheuld be set down for future reference. Earlier in this present year, citizens opposed to opening a liquor store in Oshawa appeared before Mr. Hanna and obtained, they assert, a verbal promise not to impose such an institu- tion on the city without a vote of the people. That promise, however denied or modified, was witnessed by more than the delegation that heard it uttered. It is now the fifteenth of November, some five months since Government retailing of liquor went into effect. Oshawa has been ig- nored until the present, and this is very strong presumptive evidence of Mr. Hanna's having promised what citizens of Oshawa declare he did. A few months ago a petition was circulated through the city asking for a liquor store. No person in Oshawa remotely suspected of being opposed to the opeming of a store here was allowed to see it. It went into Mr, Hanna and his colleagues' hands only on a promise that ° it would not be made available to public inspec- tion, Less than a fortnight ago Mr. Hanna was interviewed by The Oshawa Daily Times as to what he purposed doing. A man claiming to be an agent of the Liquor Control Board had been in the city that day seeking to lease premises for a proposed vending place. Mr. Hanna acknowledged his agent and de- clared that the matter of opening a liquor store was being given "very serious consideration." He referred to the petition of 2,000 names. On Thursday of the past week a delegation headed by O. M. Alger interviewed, the Board. They were also given to understand that the Board was much impressed by the secret peti- tion though the chairman rightly described the attitude of those who signed it under a promise of secrecy as "cowardly." Mr. Hanna promised at that meeting to give the deputation an early reply to their plea that, hefore proceeding farther in the matter, they ' might at least be allawed to present a counter petition from citizens not ashamed of their opinions, and. asked that the whole matter be ieft to a vote of the people. Today Mr. Hanna made his reply. Not to the deputation, but to the public at large. Mr. Alger was ignored in that the announcement was on the press wires of Ontario early in the afternoon at which time none of the deputation had been favored with a reply from Mr. Hanna, "These are the facts. The public is left to draw its own inferences. It is easy to indulge' in recrimination, but it is rather futile to do so, r. Hanna has acted. GOLD BRICK GAME Christmas is indeed on iis way, and many rapidly hardening into incurable cynics will have the process checked in a news item from Toronto which seems to intimate that there is such a thing as poetic justice; A jeweler in that proud eity which boasts of is dual interest in mines and gilt edged bonds is said to have been victimized by a variant of the gold brick gzme which featured in much ng THE OSHAWA DALY | TIMES, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, of this eentury's cartier _-- : To him came three. men who, in. dress and appearance, seemed miners fresh from North- ern Ontario's gold fields. They offered one hun- dazzled sight. He paid $1,500 for the assort- ment. Then, too late, he tested his purchase and discovered all over again that "all that glitters is not gold. i He fainted. And this is the point where the chuckling public will feel inclined to laugh outright. Not of course, inhumanly at any man's dis- tress. But it was so obviously what would hap- pén to a man whose self-conceit. had been shattered to the uttermost foundations. In that moment he saw himself not as a potential millionaire through business acumen of the first order, but as that lowest form of half-wit, dabbling in crime, gets taken into | camp by experts. He wanted to die so badly than even cold- eyed Mother Nature couldn't be obdurate. he sent merciful unconsciousness to hide this fool from toa intimate acquaintance with himself. ON THE OTHER HAND Dealers in counterfeit United States paper currency are operating in this district and sev- eral victims in this city testify to the ease with which certain forms of criminality can function. (But the amazing thing, as reported from Newtonville, is that this gang of counterfeit mcney dealers was captured in Newtonville, forced to refund money taken from citizens of that valliant community, and then dismissed. If this report is true, then the Newtonville citizens responsible have violated precisely the same principle which would have been involved had they hanged their captives to the nearest hydro pole. That is to say, they took the law into their own hands. Newtonville, however, need not regard that as too harshly stated. Their alleged release of criminals caught red handed is but a glaring example of otherwise good citizens' tacit con- doning of evil by not reporting it. The prohibition amendment to the constitu- tion of the United States and the open con- tempt with which it is treated by: men who proudly claim to be "good citizens" illustrates the point. Reckless driving and its attendant evils on Ontario highways brings the lesson nearer home. If "good citizens" really kept within thirty-five miles an hour on the highways and saw to it that violaters were reported, the an- nual toll of motor vehicle fatalities would be lowered to the vanishing point. More, viewing it with entire selfishness, the tax on gasoline might be substantially reduced in line with con- sequent reduction of highway police expense, EDITORIAL NOTES A movie hero to us is a man who sits next to the music. When a man is full of himself there isn't room for much else. Marriages are made in heaven, but most of the preliminaries are arranged in the auto.

At times he doesn't know where the next cigarette is coming from. If some brick masons in New York are mak- ing $103 a week, as reported, that ought to keep them from going to the wall. 1 HAVE A RENDEZVOUS WITH DEATH I have a rendezvous with Death At some disputed barricade, When Spring comes back with rustling shade And apple blossoms fill the air-- I have a rendezvous with Death When Spring brings back blue. days and fair. It may be he shall take my hand, And lead me into his dark land And close my eyes and quench my breath-- It may be I shall pass him still. I have a rendezvous with Death On some scarred slope of battered hill, When Spring comes round again this year And the first meadow flowers appear. God knows 'twere better to be deep Pillowed in silk and scented down, Where love throbs out in blissful sleep Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath, Where hushed awakenings are dear-- But I've a rendezvous with Death At midnight in some flaming town, When spring trips north again this year, And I to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail that rendezvous. oh = pe BT Ca Seeger. dred ounces of shining metal to this man's | 1927 Two of Then.
