NOTHING COULD BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH! A number of Ontario towns and vil- lages have voted for government stores during recent years, This form of sale has proved completely satis- factory. to those who purchase and those who don't. - It is a matter of record that there has not been a single town or village which has established stores by vote and later adopted beverage rooms. These towns in- clude Collingwood, Bracebridge, Pe- trolia, Harrow, Renfrew, Tweed, Carleton Place, Chapleau, Orillia and Ingersoll. There is not the slightest interest to-day in any of these places in any type of ouflet except what they now have, government stores for the service of the home consumer. Remember, your vote for a Brewers Retail Store on October 24th will per- mantly settle Port Perry's liquor question and bring true temperance and legal control' to the town, Surely this is what right thinking citizens The October meeting will be at the | want, : Thomas McNeill little IS sO easy to serve costs so Annual Convention "The 14th Annual Convention of the Public School Trustees Association of Ontario, will be held in the Royal Con- naugh Hotel in Hamilton, Ontario from Thursday, October 18th to Sat- urday, October 20th, 1951 inclusive.
