son publishers notes and comments seek beverage room and liquor store the town of tweed ontario is apparently feeling very dry this summer for the citizens or a great majority of them have asked their council to submit a vote to the people on establishing both a liquor store and beverage room in the place yes they want a brewers warehouse too one reason submitted for wanting these things is that the tourist business that should go to tweed is passing by and landing up on the doorstep of neighboring towns the dry element in tweed will come back with the punch what about it if we do lose that trade who wants it anyway just as soon as the sanction of the ontario liquor board is obtained the decks will be cleared for the battle of the ballots when the fight is over tweed will be singing that old refrain oh my how dry i am but if the vote is for the return of the booze daysj in that snappy town then we may hear them singing therell be a hot time in the old town tonight the rising cost of

about the main streets of owen sound in the scantiest of beach attire is not noon of an august day and the business section of owen sound is not the place to the credit of owen sound women it must be said that there are few who step over the line of propriety the very few who do however are very noticeable the briefest of shorts and an equally brief bra arrange ment with accompanying bare midriff are simply not the proper garments for walking on owen sound streets no matter if the thermometer does register 100 in the shade similar garb on any of the district beaches would not attract the slightest attention that is the place for such costumes they were designed for beach wear they are healthy carefree garments which if they are not exactly the height of modesty at least do not offend the sensibilities when worn in the proper setting as the old oklahoman told his fellow ranchers after his return from kansas city theyve gone about as fur as they can go some of these women have done just about that in the maltter of summer dress at the risk of appear ing prudish could we respectfully suggest that the beach costumes be reserved for the beaches and if shopping has to be done an appropriate costume be worn no good can come of women walking around owen sound streets with not enough on to flag a train creases in both durable and non durable manufactured goods classes leing

is even whispered that prices of everyday items are climb ing at a faster rate than labors returns with the whole affair seem ingly a cause of much ttnpublicized concern among officials along parliament hill canadas role in international affairs is growing rapidly and no better proof can be offered than the report that the department of external affairs in ottawa is seek ing larger quarters and getting it now with a bigger concentration of personnel in thls departments quarters in the famous east block of the parliamentary buildings on the hill here as branches of other departments move out to make place report that american tourists have not been getting the same courteous treatment in passing through customs at canadian air ports are flatly denied here may be it was the heat or some other cause but the freight rate hearing before the board of trans port commissioners here have been rather more exciting than the news reports would seem to indicate be ing

adians outside of this capital have been puzzled by the lack of news of the operations of the newfound land delegation which has been in ottawa for weeks dealing with top officials of the canadian govern ment including members of the cabinet about the possible means whereby newfoundland could he- come 10th province with numerous inquiries for such information indi cating that somehow an air of mystery has surrounded the pro ceedings however it can be report ed that no one in authority here is surprised at the developments it is quite true that the arrival of the delegation some weeks ago was accompanied by a loud pro clamation and much publicity with this being followed suddenly by almost aa total blackout on news nevertheless it must be explained that this was only a factfinding delegation and nothing else though this was not perhaps emphasized sufficiently then again it must be explained that the whole thing in volved far more dedicate dinlomatic discussions than appeared on the surface to the maninthestreet across canada finally the discus sions have been in camera in regard to the terms of such a union naturally veteran observers emnhasize such activities in ott awa always produce an air of mystery though in reality there may be no real cause for it and the discussions have taken place in proper unpublicizcd ways as re quired in such delicate diplomatic affairs passing almost unnoticed canada and italy have arranged to ex change ministers and to open lega tions in each others capitals and this is significant since it means that for the first time since world war m canada has arranged peace time representation with a former i enemy country leaving japan and germany alone without such representation among major former enemies though military missions do carry on now in the latter countries and are accredited to the occupying forces there with the removal of the ameri can embargo which had prohibited shiomem of coal over the cnr from that country into can ada tt is hinted here that no seri ous loss of coal supplies had result ed from this action by the ameri can authorities in washington and strangely enough now criticisms are whispered here not only of this action by the americans but of the slowness of the canadian railway system in returning enough cars within successive deadlines set by the us authorities the action of col 1 munroe johnon head of the office of de fence transportation in imiwsing an embargo on the movement of muchneeded american coal over the cnli was not merely looked uon in ottawa as unnecessary but rit in accord with the kind of action expected under the circum stances in face of his claim that the cxr had failed to act properly when warned about the boxcars being kept in canada longer than essentia in act it can
