in bc phone 7001 stouffville in the presbyterain church on sunday evening old king booze was dealt a heavy backward blow by rev dn melacblan before a joint congregation of presbyterians and methodists the speaker had taken part in all the campaigns in the western provinces where a vote wa taken for government control of the liquor traffic and ivas therefore well versed on the situation in those provinces he made the ladies present look serious and feel almost uncomfort able when he declared that it was the female vote in alberta that brought government control into that province again in place of prohibit ion which had been in force several years the statement was backed up by statistics which he said did not lie alberta went dry by the male vote before the women were given the franchise in british columbia mr mclachlan interviewed a highup official who declared that bootlegg ing was more prevalent under gov ernment control which permitted booze shops to be dotted all over than it was under prohibition this was interesting information in view of the fact that the liquor interests claim that government control will wipe out bootlegging he warned his hearers tobe ever ready for the wily statements of the booze vendors in this province and the liberty leaguers too the speaker didnt opinion when the vote would be taken in ontario nor what the nature of it would be rather he warned against the lying state ments that would be made against the present system of temperance he declared drunkenness is on the decrease and the number of charges against this kind of offender had dropped more than 70 per cent in this province under th ota as compared to the bar room days jacob yake jeweler and real eslate buttons block stouffville high grade instructions only

ontario legislature during the recent investigation notice of motion brought on by dr freel designing to make a rental charge for the use of the park grounds when an admission fee is collected
