Without ceremony and but a small crowd of patrons, sale of beverages commenced at morning. When it 1s considered that there were many citizens down-town, especially around King and Sim- coe street, this morning, one might have imagined there was a large crowd impatient to purchase permits and bottles' of beer and liquor, But several blocks farther up, the store, completely stocked with drinks, estimated to have a value over $20,000 was doing hut an ordinary business, There were more persons standing outside the store than there were actually in- side. ' The beer warehouse, which has been established by the various breweries interested, in the Adanac Garage building at 161 King street west, did not open for husiness this morning, but will make its bow to the public on Wednesday. The warehouse is well stocked with beer, there being a number of truck-loads sent in from the various breweries within the past few days, When the store opens, for business, Manager H, A, Donald, stated this morning, efti- gens will be able to get heer from the warehouse in larger lots than they can from the liquor store, A load' of heer was sent up to the local liguor store this morning, It is the business of the warehouse to keep the store well supplied with heer, The noon hour brought quite an influx of people to the liquor store, the employees being kept busy all through the moon hour, It was & common sight to see pepole leave the store with a little bundle of beverages, mostly beer, tucked un- r arm, In most cases the . ve was used to shield the *,%) ge, Of course, ,the odd pur- chaser displayed the parcel prom- inently and had a broad smile on his face, Conspicuous this morning was the large number of permits that were sold, Many people hought permits, but did not get any liquor. They held them in readiness as II waiting for the store to empty of some of its clientele, *I should judge 150", said a government representative at the liquor store, here assisting with the opening, when queried as to the number of pepole who visited the store this morning. There were a number of. women who entered and bought permits while a reporter stood waiting for a chance to speak to Manager George Mallett, When that obficial was relieved at selling permits and sanctioning order, 'he told The Oshawa Daily Times that the store will be open from 10 a.m; to 6 p. m, ly . with ¢ exception. of several nights this week when it will be open from 10 a.m. until 9 pm, These special nights are Tuesday and Thursday, Holders of permits may secure either six quart or six pint bottles of beer as @ maximum order. They may also buy a dozen bottles of any variety of liquor; Things were running smoothly this morning, trops securing their permits signing for their order at one end of the lopg counter and then passing on to the cashier where they paid for it. Then moving on several feet fur- ther they received their, ' "goods" on presenting the order to an- una employee at the other ry y . From there he wen on out throush the door.

The late Mr. Black was horn in An- trim, Ireland, in August, 1833, and after a sea-voyage of many weeks in a sailing vessel he landed at Port Hope in 1850 at the age of 17, From Port Hope he made his way to Bow- manville and for several years was employed by the late George Isaacs. In 1862 he married Miss Mary Sherwin, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sherwin of White's Landing. Shortly after his marriage he bought a farm near Bowmanton and after fifteen years' sojourn on this firm he izsed the homestead in Percy T at present oceu- pied by his sc nes. Until a few years ago, when he came to Wark- worth to reside with his daughter, Mrs. W, J, Harper, he successfully managed the far, taking a keen in- terest in all things appertaining to farm Jife. The grain grown and the live-stock raised hy Mr. Black were of such a quality as to win many coveted prizes at the district® fall fairs, Each year on August 15th, the oc- casion of his birthday, his family and friends would gather in an annual of the party. He was a Liberal in politics, while not seeking politi for himself, he always took an interest in the affairs of the" the township and the state.

The article points out that the council has no power to enforce decisions even when {it considers prices excessive. Therefore it never has heen more than a shedow of a commis- sion," the paper said. The attack coincided. with the 'ouncil"s issuance of a report stat- ing that retail fish prices were 116 per cent ahove nre-war fig- res, and that = wholesale prices were 70 per cent above the pre- var level.

He received the British press today and made a disquieting statement. He also conferred with Sir Ronald Graham, British Ambassador at Rome, summoned here to report on Premier Mussolini's latest activities. Sir Austen believes, it is under- stood, that while there is no imme- diate danger of a Franco-Italian war, the situation arising out of hte Italo- Albanian treaty is one disturbing factor in the relations of the great powers. Until it is settled, he does not think the Locarno accord safe- guards the peace of Europe. He be- lieves the world disarmament con- [iad planned here this year is rtain to be abortive unless French and Italian differences are settled, Accordingly, in talks with both Italians and French, he has suggested the League Council meet at Rome in March. Mussolini refuses to come to Geneva, and Sir Austen hopes the presence of all the principal European statesmen at Rome would enable a general settlement then. The British Foreign Segretary told newspapermen guardedly of his anx- jety about - France and Italy, apd hinted at his wish the Jugo-Slavs, Albanians and Italians could settle their differences among themselves. France is, of course, nvolyed, too, as an ally of Jugo-Slayia. It is understood that Sir Austen protested to Mussolini in vain against signing the Albanian treaty, which has alarmed the Jugo-Slavs and the French. Asked whether Great Britain would mediate, he re- plied his Government was always willing to help when, wanted. Sir Austep, as a result of the Lo- carno treaties amd his success in bringing the Poles and Lithuanians together here, is known to have a great belief in his powers as repre- sent'ng what he regards as the one great disinterested European natiop, to help settle difficulties. te ------------ WILL BE LARGEST SINGLE HOOK-UP EVER MADE New York, Dec. 11--On the night of January 4, between 10.30 and 11.30 o'clock, Eastern stand- ard time, Will Rogers, in Holly- wood, Fred Stone, in Chicago, Pan} Whiteman and his band in New York, and A] Jolson, in New Wr- leans, will broadeast to the entire country over what is believed to be the largest single radio hookup ev- er made.
