UPHELD Recognition of the Liquor Control Act of Ontario in Huron County, validity of which was challenged one week ago, was made by Magistrate Gordon Longman in Goderich after the question had been argued at length by crown and defence coun sel, the latter contending that the Canada Temperance Act and not the L. C. A. was the prevailing law in Huron, After giving his ruling, his wor ship proceeded to fine William F. Graham, Royal Allen and Kenneth Kleinfeldt each $100 and costs for having liquor in a public place— in each ease a dance hall. The fines were paid. A fourth case was ad journed one week. A statement by Crown Attorney Holmes that the Temperance Fed eration, W.'C.T.U., or other body, had never appealed an L.C.A. con viction in Huron County, brought forth-the prompt retort from Frank Donnelly, defence counsel:" “Why should they?” He asked: “Who is in a getter position to have the validity of the L.C.A., tested than the Attorney- General of his province?” Mr. Donnelly reviewed at length the conflicting judgments that had been handed down in Peel County and Manitoulin Island as to which liquor law was in force and arguing that it was unfair to convict owing to the uncertainty. The magistrate refused to ad- jo-urn the cases until autumn, pend ing the outcome of an appeal now before the Appellate Court of On tario. 0OCHESTEH-BUFFALO-£jME Tired Out Before Day Half Over Women who should be strong and healthy become weak, run down and Worn out, and are unable to attend to their household duties, Some disease or constitutional dis turbance has left its mark in the form of shattered nerves, impover ished blood, and an exhausted con dition of the entire system.

Arthur Sinclair and fam ily on the occasion of the,, termina tion of Mr. Sinclair’s long and suc cessful pastorate in Hensall and Chiselhurst United churches. We the members and adherents of Hensall and Chiselhurst United churches desire to take advantage of this opportunity to express to you our appreciation of your services as Pastor of our churches during the past 15 years, and also to place on record our appreciation of the con tribution you, Mr. Sinclair and fam ily haave made to the Christian citi zenship of this community. We are (conscious of the limitations of the English language, when attempt ing to indicate to you, not only that we have recognized the great work' you have been doing in the interests uf the Kingdom, but also that we de-, sire to pay a slight tribute to the many excellent qualities of heart and mind, which have manifested them selves, not only in your rounds of ^astoral duties, but also in your so cial intercourse with us. Being endowed with a -pleasing personality, your relations with those with to whom you have been ministering has always been of a cordial and harmonious nature, ana the perfect accord mat has always prevailed in the congregations must have made an inestimable impress for good in the minds of the young people, amongst whom you have ueen doing- a great work. You have ministered to these con gregations with great acceptance for 15 years, and at the same tune, have always taken an active interest in the community life of the -people, while Mrs. Sinclair has always taken live interest in the women’s activi ties and the work of the Sunday School. Spiritually, we believe the present conference year, now drawing to a close, have been one of the most pro gressive years in the history of our churches, a fact, evidenced not only by the increased attendance.at both churches and Sunday scohols, but al so by the large addition to the mem bership. This is due in large meas ure, no doubt, to the ever increasing inspiration of messages from the pulpit, and the fine spirit of co-op eration that exists between you and the heads of the various organiza tions. Indeed we believe our chur-ch- es never presented a more .promising future since the consumation of un ion, than they do at the present time. And now you are about to trans fer your activities to a new field of labour, after an outstanding record of faithful services to our churches we rejoice to know that you will con- tine to be a valued member of the Huron Presbytery, where we trust your services will always be avail able as guest speaker on special oc casions in Hensall and Chiselhu-rst United churches. As a slight recog nition of the many excellent qual ities, you, and your estimable wife and family you all possess and as a more tangible expression of our ap preciation, we ask you to aiccept these gifts. Signed on behalf of the congretation H. Horton and W. J. Pybus At the conclusion lunch was serv- to between four and five hundred people.
