Junior ing again gives the geovernment an opâ€" portunity to know the ultimate legal destination of every case of beer that leaves the warchouse. Local agents say they find this new ruling a boon, as they claim=it will prevent a certain amount of bootlegging and illegal deâ€" livery of beer, which naturally has an adverse effect cn the legal business of transporting beer to a bona fide purâ€" chaser. The fact that the local Brewâ€" ers‘ Warehouse will from now on have a record Of the supposed eventual purâ€" chaser should aid both the local police and the government in checking up on too frequent deliveries of ibeer that would indicate an illega® reâ€"sale. Orders issued last week from Brewâ€" ers‘ Warehsouse headquarters in Toronâ€" to make the purchase of beer very mu_ch as it was before the amendment to the Liquor Control Act. From now on, all purchases made by an agent for an inâ€" dividual must be authorized by a writâ€" ten ordeér. The only difference is that Nearly 100,000 Books Circulated by Library Written Orders Now Necessary for Beer Mémbers to the number of 5,377 are enrolled at present, showing a gain of 7094 over the previous year.

The police court case here last Tuesâ€" day in which a taxicab that was found to be used for delivering beer on Sunâ€" day and was confiscated, created a lot of apprehension amongst the genuine transpcrtation agents but ithe new orâ€" der from Toronto clears up the point to their satisfaction. The car that was seized by police was not even in charge of the person in whose name it was registered, but although it was not reâ€" gistered in the name of the taxi comâ€" pany that operated it, the name on the license was one of the owners of the company. The bare fact that the car was used for the illegal transportatioa of beer was sufficient for the magisâ€" trate to order its ccnfiscation.

Soft Weather Spouls Skiing for Weekâ€"end Sunday looked like a good day for skiing and hundreds of Timmins enâ€" thusiasts started out the trails in the neighbourhood.
