stouffville and it has had consideration there here is a letter direct from italy receiv ed this week from an old stouffville boy dwight forsyth resident of tenth street until just before the war broke out he says dear sirs we have had the pleasure of re ceiving one or two copies of the stouffville tribune and note with great interest the campaign you are waging for a community hall in stouffville you may think it strange to re ceive a letter with regards to a community hall from one so far away but on a long winter evening when we are sitting around a make shift stove talking of canada in general such postwar problems usually come up a village such as stouffville should be built around a commun ity hall and i sincerely hope your campaign meets with success an interested

uxbridge township urged upon its council at their regular meeting in goodwood on saturday the advisability of buy ing an extra snow plow they wanted it purchased so that the possession of a slot machine any where even in a private home is prohibited under a measure which received first reading jn the legis lature friday- all these machines are used for gambling as a result of the activi ties of racketeers who place them on the premises explained attor neygeneral le blackwell the only people we can prosecute are the little fellows who have them on their premises my department dislikes prose cuting little fellows so this meas ure provides for the seizure of slot machines where found and under it no one can have property right in these machines he said an owner can go before a magistrate to prove his device is not a slot machine at the same time distinction is made between machines used for gambling and those for amusement an amusement device may be a childs toy we cannot go to the extent of seizing such a device so the act applies only to slot machines as such he said the bill enables a police officer to enter a place by force if he has reasonable suspicion there is a slot machine on the premises the above change in the act is probably brought about because of the disclosure made at the recent investigation in whitchurch town ship by the attorneygeneral de partment
