It was pointrd out to E. G. Odette. Liquor Control commissioner, that the small wineries of the province would be unable to continue in business if they were compelled to lower the retail price. Abolition of the wine tax would give them an opportunity of improving the quality of native wine by using imore grapes and less sugar and water. It would allow wincries to make 175 galâ€" lous of wine to a ton of grapes instead of 200 gallons to a ton, as at present. This would be of great assistance to the grape growers as well, it was stated. Fred H. Avery, Liberal member for Lfncoln, tcok a leading part in the conference and he outlined the plight oi the small winery. The fact that the Government had agreed to azolish the provincial wine tax meant very littls if the Liquor Control Board now proâ€" poseq to compel wineries to reduce the retail price of their product, Mr. Avery declared. Government has ordered the Liquor Control Board to postpone for one month a reduction of 10 cents per 26â€" cunce bottle of native wine, it was learned last week, following a conferâ€" ence between representatives of small wineries, grapeâ€"growers and Premier Hepburn. The new price was to have gone into effect on March 1. The postâ€" ponement was agreed upon in order to give the wineries an opportunity of making further representations.

It is wonderful for us to know how universally my father‘s great qualities have ‘been appreciated and valued. It is no mre form of speech to say that he reigned in the hearts of his people.

Ssme days ago Mrs. Sophie Zielinski of Buffalo, N.Y., noted that her husâ€" band appeared tired when he slipped off the kitchen chair he was sitting on.

Anyway, Mrs. Zielinski let her husband sleep onâ€"for two daysâ€"walking about him as she went about her daily duâ€" ties. The third day she told neighbours that "something must be wrong with Andy," as he had been slseping for two days. The neighbours investigated and then calleq the police.

Mr. Gibsonis a cripâ€" pled war and isovery popular inâ€"North Bay~Officials asked to explain the dismissal refused to do so, saying that the department would no doubt make any announcement necessary in the matter. The story going the rounds in North Bay, however, is to the effect that quantities of liquor are alleged to have leaving the liquor store withâ€" out proper perinit entriecs being made, and that this state of affairs has been in force for some time. It is that some cther dismissals may follow as a result,of the discovery of the alleged irregularities.
