Welcome To Ontario The loyal people of Ontario warmly welcome 1-ler Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh on their Canadian visit this summer, during which they will spend fourteen days in Ontario. While this visit is in itself a wonderful occasion it takes on added importance for us because the Queen is coming here for the opening of the St, Lawrence Seaway—an event which symbolizes Canada's growth to a mature industrial economy and signals great expansion for Ontario's economy in the future. With ocean navigation from all corners of the world coming directly into the heart of our industrial area, and a greatly increased capacity of hydro-electric power for expanding industry, we foresee a future for Ontario of great development and progress.

The CTA s in force only in Perth and iuron Counties. Members of the committee are: ames Timms, mayor of St. Marys; nold Gloor, reeve of Mitchell; . E. Nickel, mayor of Listowel d Walter Gerth, reeve of Mil- erton. In order to get a vote held, 25 ercent of the 21,126 voters in erth must sign the petition. C. . Bamford, Listowel, was the peaker at a meeting in Mitchell n June 18, and stressed the need for appealing the act. "Law en- forcement officers have their hands tied with the old act," he said. According to him, most of the 100-odd clauses in the act could not be enforced. Appeal of the CTA, said Mr. Bamford, would put the county of Perth under the liquor laws of Ontario, Already the mayor of St. Marys has 1,500 names on a list for a petition in that town. When and if a vote is taken, a majority of 75 percent would be required to repeat the act. Mr. Bamford, who said the, law was "made for bootleggers", said the CTA came into effect in Perth by only a 104-vote margin 44 years ago. Elliott-Turner The Rev. Grant L.

A group of church- men in both Huron and Perth Counties have been studying the act and have come to the follow- ing conclusions: "That the CTA is basically a good act. "That the act does not prevent anyone drinking, at their own dis- cretion, in their own home, "That the act does not need re- vision to bring it up to date. Therefore this group of church- men have presented to the proper authorities the following proposed amendments: "That the possession of unsealed containers of intoxicating beverag- es in public places be prohibited. "That consumption or possession of intoxicating beverages brought into the county in accordance with part two of the Canada Temper- ance Act be limited to one's resi- dence. "That the supply to or use of by persons under 21 years of age be prohibited. • "That the right of appeal to a higher court from the decision of a magistrate be provided for. "That the provisions for search warrants under the act be extend- ed to motor vehicles. "The churchmen who cover the whole area of Perth and Huron counties believe that these amend- ments to, and not abolition of, the Canada Temperance Act will be most beneficial to the counties concerned."
