WOMEN IN BEVUKAGE UOOMS Last week we published without comment an editorial from the Mount Forest Confederate, arguing thai women should be excluded from bev- «rage rooms. This view is challenged by one of our readers who writes: "Why, In this day of advanced social thinking, should women be excludod from the privileges, companionship and stim- ulation of the beverage rooms?" "Equal rights for women" has been accepted as & basis for our public ia'e, in which South Grey has iioi failed to take advantage of the situ- ation â€" for the good of Canada! If the beverage rooms are a bless- ing and a benefit to men we can't see why these privileges should be with- held from women. So far as we can see, the logical choice is not between letting the lad- ies in, or slamming the doors in their faces. Surely it is between shutting the beverage rooms themselves, or throwing them open to all comers, regardless of sex or other restric tions! If we look squarely at the liquor situation once again we would real- ize the manner in whic»i big business has pulled the wool over our ey^s, and re-established a social cancer: merely that fortunes might be made. Premier MiuUell Hepbuiu in ilii<- cussing his pi i -posed legalizing of swcfp.stakcs giuubling, said: "l am not going to be led around by itu- nose by any minister, and I want to .say that I dun't think there is any greater hjiJocrites than these gentle- men." This is certainly a fighting declaration, and we await with great curiosity the clerical reaction to Mr. Hepburn's belligerent attitude. • • • Collingwood Terminals Ltd., own- ing the elevator out beyond the ship- yards, lest 168,878 last year as against $7,981 the previous year. It looks as though it is simply impossible for anything in Collingwood to operate at a profit. Poor old Collingwood is a hoodoo town. We hope their new liquor store may prove equally unprofitable for the sake of the homes of Collingwood and district. • • • The Quebec Legislature is putting through a bill making it compulsory for voters in tniinioinBl pltvtiori? to carry identification cards containing their pictures when they wish to cast their votes. Surely this is a very .serious admission that the average voter in Quebec is willing and ready to impersonate and do the disreput- able and dishonest thing when it comes to an election. Surely the Quebec voter is no more venal than his Ontario brother, and any Ontario government that would introduce a scheme such as that would be laugh- ed out of meetin'. EUGENIA CANADIAN AVIATION Canada has progressed along the sky-wayai in a remarkable manner for a "new" country of comparative- ly small population and tremendous distances. Last week anouncement of avia- tion insurance was made by Canad- ian companies. A group of thirteen insurance companies operating in Canada have formed the "Canadian Aircraft Insurance Group," and will rive a Canadian insurance service to Canadiar. aviators, along very sim- ilar 1 v.ts to the coverage which has become so familiar for automobiles. EDITORIAL NOTES Wirinipeg has been given author- ity (J tax hard liquor two per cent, and gas and electric light from five to ten per cent In other words the fellow who drinks straight whiskey can "light up'' at 2*% while) the wom- an at home who wishes to patch the old man's pants will be obliged to pay five to ten per cent, for the necessary lighting to show her at just what angle to place the patch. Seems like an unholy alliance for the Manitoba I^egislature to enter into does it not? We would call it a criminal discrim- ination agairuit the housewife and in favor of the rednose. SHOULD ENFORCE THE LAW (Durham Chronicle) We believe there is a law on the .statutes in Ontario that requires a motorist meeting another o«e, to dim his lights, or, with the present cars to put them on the low beam. We have numerous traffic officers in this province, and while they are doing some good work, there is still something else they might concent- rate on that would greatly eliminate the risks of night driving. We refer to the dimming of lights when passing cars goinpT in the opposite direction. Traffic officers are swinging down on the speeders at every opportun- ity. They will check up if your lic- ense plate is dirty or hidden. They may stop you and ask you to pro- duce your driving permit and your car license. They may swing you to the side of the road if they think you have cut a dangerous comer too closely. All these precautions are well and good, but we believe the groat danger today is the failure of many motorists to extend courtesy to other drivers in passing. No motorist can drive properly against glaring headlights, and a little attention to this nuisance would do a lot to eliminate side-swiping at ni(»ht, or going into the ditch. Mr. and Alls. t'. li.

CEYLON WELL RECOMMENDED One of the inmates of a certain prison was called into the Governor's office. "You were sent here, I believe, for writing a glowing prospectus for an oil company." "Yes,'' said the prisoner: "I was a little too optomistic." "Well," went on the governor, "the authorities want a report on condit- ions in this prison, and I've decided to let you virrite it."

AKi: OLYMPICS BENEFlt I \L (Durham Chronicle) \ <|ueHtion before tlic public ju;.<t now is: Are the Olympic gamLs boii- I'fiiijil? Do they create the goodwill li.ivscen nations it was thought Uiey Willi Id when the games were com- iiii'iiced? Should Canada take part in I ill' 1940 Olympic, or should the Brit- ish Kmpire hold competitions as they ^I'l at the present? Take any side you wish in this mat- t( I You will find lots of backing on eitlii.-r side of the argument. Perhaps most of UH are not sufficiently well infoi-mcd to express a sensible opin- ion. The Olympics are certainly not responsible for conditions in Germany, Italy, Austria or China, but they al- so have done little to foster that goodwill hoped for. Personally, we believe sports competitions between teams representing the British Em- pire are of more benefit to us as an Empire than those in which the whole world engages. It will be interesting to see what takes place in 1940 when the Olympics contestants gather in Japan, if they do. Already there seems lots of op- position to holding the games in the land of the Rising Sun, in view of what is taking place in China at the moment. Time alone will .show the world's reaction. SUPPLIED ANOTHER i'lELD Since radio has come into its own as a medium for entertainment, a vast field has opened up for those with talent, musical or otherwise. Who, for instance, would have thought a few years ago that a vent- riloquist would prove one of the most popular entertainers on the unseen waves? We always thought it was necessary to see the facial contor- tions of the dummy to appreciate the humor of the act; but through the the medium of radio the wooden- headed clown has assumed a person- ality all his own. Singers, tap danc- ers, readers, instrumentalists, all have an opportunity of capitalizing on their accomplishments. Besides there are the old standbys of stage and screen, both on the lookout for real talent. Radio has not usurped the place of the other fields of entertain- ment; it has just supplied another, and increased the demand for per- formers. Granted that a boy or girl never sees the inside of a studio or treads the boards of a metropolitan stage; the advantage he or she gains by hav- ing a sound musical training is inest- mable. By his or her accomplish- ments, real pleasure is given to those not blessed, and the artist finds real joy in being able to express hiriself in music or the dance. ROCK MILLS Many of the farmers have tapped and are busy making maple syrup. So far the run of sap has been very light. Miss Sadie Foster of Tojonto is visiting at her home here. Quite a number from here attended Mr. Thosj^Slcd's auction sale on Mon- day aftmioon. Mr. ||i«ii»tt Post«(fe«»d sister, Miss Dorothy," -'motored 'tii."' Toronto and spent the week end with relatives. Mr. Lome Sharp has been on this line for several days buzzing wood for a number of the farmers. Mrs. Chas. Newell spent Sunday with friends in Flesherton. Mrs. Ned Croft visited recently with her sister, Mrs. H. Osborne of Fever.sham. Mr. Thos. Betts and daughters, Mi.sKCs Edith and Mabel, attended the wedding on Monday, March 28, of Miss Christie McLennan and Mr. Ifnrold Hobbs at Proton.

It is said that the engine can travel at one hundred miles an hour in full flight, but it is not ex- pected that this rate will be reached on this branch. A change of time will come into effect the last of April when it is expected that about 40 minutes will be cut from the running time between Toronto and Owen Sound.

TENDERS WANTED The mystery of a fortune supposed- ly found when an old safe was opened at Wroxeter last week was cleared up when it was revealed a practical joke was responsible for the stories that as much as $2.5,000 had been found in the strong box. Bert Martin and William Hayes, so the stories ran. found the money when they opened the safe for T. G. Hemphill, mill own- er, who had acquired it with some ma- chinery purchased at Guelph. The safe had no dial and no handle and the mill owner laughingly told Mr. Martin, a blacksmith, he could have anything he found in it â€" if he succeeded in opening the strong box. The box finally was opened and, according to oiilookers, the smithy found several rolls of currency. Ho did not divulge the amount, but first stoiies said 5,000 and the sum fin- ally reached $25,000. Martin finally revealed that he had previously open- ed the safe, finding nothing, so he placed some money in it to impress tlui onlookers and staged a second "opening" when there was a group hanging around. Tenders will be received by the undersigned up until 12 o'clock noon, on Friday, April 8, 1938, for the pur- chase on ots, 9-10, Con. 2, N.D.R., in the township of Osprey. The successful tender will be re- quired to pay the amount in cash with in 30 days. Dated at Feversham, March 21, 1938. C. N. Long, Clerk-Treasurer. Eveiy picture yells a story.
