In the case of Manitoulin, it not having been suspended, there was no question of the Canada Temperance Act not being “in force.” Accord ingly the Ontario Government from the beginning refrained from placing authorties in that area, and altho’ hotels sell light beer (4.4) there is no legalized beverage room in Mani toulin unto this day. During the spring of 1938 a case arose in Manitoulin Island which is of considerable importance and which exactly counters the decision of the late Judge Grout of Peel. A Mrs. .Solsomon was accused before a magistrate of selling liquor. The charge was laid under the Liquor Control Act. The magistrate con victed her of violating that law. Ap peal however was taken before the -county judge for that araa, Judge tCurrey, who quashed the conviction holding that the Canada Temperance Act is in force in Manitoulin and that the charge of selling should have been laid -under that Act. The Government^ of Ontario ap pealed from the decision of Judge ■Currey to the Supreme Court of On tario. The case came up in. the early summer before a full bench •with the late Mr. Justice Latchford, acting Chief Justice, presiding. The hearing was from several points of view a very interesting one. The Ontario government was represented by Mr, Snyder and Mr. Magone. Children’s Coughs Quickly Relieved Only the mother knows how hard it is to keep the children from taking cold. They will get overheated and cool off too quickly, get their feet wet, kick off the bed clothes at night, and do a dozen and one things the mother can’t prevent. There is nothing better to help children’s coughs and colds than Dr. Wood’s Norway Pine Syrup. It is so pleasant to the taste the youngsters take it without any fuss. The T. Milburn Co., Ltd., Toronto, Ont. When the case was called the Act ing Chief Justice stated that it seem ed unnecessary to hear argument; the matter had been before the Privy Council and the court was familiar with the legal ground and was prepared to dismiss the appeal. Mr. Snyder pleaded that the court should hear the argument of Mr. Magone. Willing to concede in a measure, the court then inquired as to* the counsel for the defense. It developed that he was absent. Fur ther inquiry elicited the fact that he had been notified of the hearing— which was on Monday—only on the previous Friday and had replied by wire on Saturday that he was en gaged in the local Assizes Court and could not attend. The court then demanded to know why, since the date for the hearing was settled by consultation between the court and the Attorney-General’s Department some ten days or more previously, and since it was the duty of the At torney-General’s Department to no tify the defence counsel accordingly, why he had been given only two days notice. No satisfactory answer seem ed to be forthcoming and the court obviously disapproved of what had happened. During the interchange it was suggested by Mr. Magone that the court might follow the decision of the Supreme Court of New Bruns wick. This court had held in 1935 that the Canada Temperance Act is ultra vires of the Dominion Parlia ment. This judgment was prepared and delivered by the Hon. Mr. Jus tice Baxter. It will be recalled that Mr. Baxter was the Premier of New Brunswick .when government' con trol was proposed and inaugurated in that province. In reply to Mr, Magone’s sugges tion the court with a smile replied that it preferred to follow- the de cisions of the Privy Council. The plea that the court hear the argu ment being still pressed, the case was deferred until the September sitting on the ground that the defence coun sel had not been properly notified. Whether the government will pro ceed with the appeal arising out of the Manitoulin case, remains to be seen. An adverse decision would of course rob Judge Grout’s finding of any legal standing and would also counter the judgment of the Su preme Court of New Brunswick. The chances are therefore rather serious for Mr. Hepburn’s position. Directions Mixed “Who’s the new workman?” ask- the boss. “Boss’s son,” replied the foreman. ■“Oh, very commendable! Start ing at the bottom and working up?” “No, started at the top and got shoven down.” TO O 1 «* 1, B. Educational ‘ Meetings Dates for the T. B.

Party Dish For Every Day Good Looks and Good Taste Combine in This Canadian Fish Loaf Eyes sparkle and the family has a new interest in dinner when food looks tempting and inviting to eat. That's why we call this Canadian Fish iLoaf a party dish for every d ay. It is festive enough to make an im pression on your most important guests and relatives, and simple enough to serve once oi* twice a week to the family. Besides it is not expensive, always an important item. This Canadian Fish 'Loaf can be prepared in the morning and kept in the ice-box or a cold place, while you spend the afternoon shop ping or following your own pursuits because it cooks in just three-quar ters of an hour, so there is time to pop it in the oven when you get home and nobody will be the wiser that you did not stay in all after noons. Canadian Fish Loaf 1 lb. can Canadian Salmon 2 eggs, beaten 1 tblsp. finely minced onion, ox* onion juice 2 cups soft bread crumbs (fine) % cup milk 1 teaps. lemon juice Remove the skin from the fish, crush the bones, flake the salmon, and the oil. Add the bread crumbs, beaten eggs, milk, and minced onion and lemon juice. Mix well. Place in a greased loaf tin, dot until the loaf is firm and browned. Unmould on a platter and serve with a medium cream sauce to which a sliced hard- cooked egg has been added. A tea spoon of Worchestershire sauce adds a little zip to the sauce. This Canadian Fish Loaf may be varied by using halibut or -cod, or any other fish available in the mar ket. The bones and oil contain body, building vitamins. The bones soften during the cooking and do not change the texture of the finished loaf. Garnish with slices of lemon, and serve green peas and plain boiled, potatoes, tossed in butter. Dog Love By pur Crediton Correspondent v No one has been able to analyse or explain, the love that gleams from the honest eyes of a dog. I have sat fox' hours with this canine friend be side me and fondled its ears, throat and nose and tried to fathom the love that silently radiated into my heart and understanding. Look at him squarely in those eyes and talk your love to him and his alert understanding is immediately aroused. He whines or barks, as if to say, “ love you, too.” So strong is the love of a dog that it has often proved to be stronger than life itself in this faithful breast, nestling in that stout animal heart a fear more for the life of its mas ter than the life with which it has been endowed. That love, once established, is faithful unto death. Again and again has he sacrificed his life for his friend. Which love even man cannot surpass. Abued, he wll both forgive and forget, just so long as new love is poured into his consciousness. Like man, he too, craves spiritual nour ishment, Man’s professed love often deceives but a day’s, never, He is a genuine as the purest of gold, and like it, a. gift of nature and God-endowed. That straight-looking eye, that prick of the ears and that wag of the tail, are but his emphasizing statements of the truth. How flowing is that appetite for love When his master is about, and how it starves when his best friend is away. It is said that few, if any, men die for love, genuine love. But a dog will refuse all food, and stay con stant unto death at the loss of his mastex* beloved. He wants no bet ter friend than the one who loves •him most. And how full of understanding he is! The child can rough him and even abuse him, but he knows that he should not harm that innocent creature and when that child puts its arms about him he returns that love a hundredfold. Unlike most humans, he asks nothing for that devotion, which he so lavishly gives. Tolerant, obedient, brave, sympathetic, gentle and all • loving. I wonder, if his soul, too, doesn’t go marching on after life's questionings are at an end? 50 YEARS AGO November 15, 1888 Mr, Jas. Sanders, of Stephen has just made application for a patent on a very neat and substantial rail fence of his own idea. Mr. T. Crowley, of the London Road, Usborne, whose farm was pur chased by Mr. John Hawkshaw leaves for London in a few days to perma nently reside. Mrs. (Dr.) Cowan, who has been in England for some time visiting her son returned home on Thursday. Mrs. Cowan Jr, who accompanied hex* remained in London, England, with her husband Dr. H. M. Cowan. M r. Alex Colquhoun, who a few weeks ago took some horses to Mani toba speaks very highly of the coun try and says he is going out again in the spring to permanently reside. The deex* hunters who left here last week for Muskoka have succeed ed in’killing several fine specimens of the forest, Mrs, W. Allan, of Winnipeg, is visiting friends in town. Mr. Wel lington Allan has been moved from Winnipeg to Montreal by the Massey Mfg, Co., of Toronto., ! Mr. Richard Blatchford has moved into town and taken up his residence on station streelt. Mr. C. Hartleib, of Dashwood, grew 3 cabbages in his garden this season which weighed respectively 20%, 16 1-2 and 17 lbs. Messrs. T. Oke and Bert Knight each received a curiosity in the form of a horned frog from Mr. Frank Knight, of Ontario, California, protruding horns cover the entire body. On Sunday November 25th, the Catholic Church at Limerick, Stephen Township will be dedicated. The church is one of the finest in West ern Ontario and is alike creditable to Rev-. Father Kelly and his parish ioners. Yen Will Find Us Helpful In A Score of Ways “Your Bank and How You May Use It.” BANK OF MONTREAL ESTABLISHED J817 Exeter Branch: W. H.

He was driv- slowly. He had to. The load was very heavy, and his team was not built for speed. The motorist, driving a dazzling sport coupe of expensive make, flash ed into sight, and snorted to an un willing crawl behind him. On com ing traffic made passing impossible The motorist honked his horn im patiently. The farmer did the only thing he could do—he kept on driv ing, neither faster or slower, but at the same, even pace. The motorist sounded his horn again. The farnTer waved his hand to indicate that he would turn out as soon as possible. That wasn’t good enough for the man in the coupe. He honked again. He lost his temper. He kept on honk ing. It was then that war was declared. The farmer lost his temper, too. He put his hnd on the lever that is fix ed on the side of all manure spread ers. It operates a gear-driven series of rollers which drag the manure to the back of the wagon, and into the maw, of revolving, paddle-like blades •which scatter the stuff in ali directions. The farmer pulled that The roller rolled. The blades revolv ed. The honking of the horn became a frantic wail as motorist and motor car disappeared in a reeking cloud. Still the farmer didn’t look back. He just kept on driving—just kept on keeping the rollers rolling, and the blades revolving. The cloud kept growing. The horn stopped sound ing. The coupe stalled. A very dap per little man sprang out of the spattered machine and raced up to the placid'agriculturist on the man ure-spreader. “(Listen here, you ...” he be gan, “Friend,” broke In the farmer, “that stuff on your car would have fertilized a whole field of corn, May be you can- grow politeness In it. If you can, I’m satisfied. There’s no charge, iGiddap.” And he loft the little motorist, sil ent, on the bridge, 15 YEARS AGO November 20, 1913 An interesting book came to hand this week from the Ontario Depart ment of Agriculture called “Municip al Statistics” from which we find that Exeter holds an enviable posi- ion in regard to> its debenture in debtedness.

STOCKINGS BY THE MILLIONS Nearly three million dozen pairs of silk stockings are produced in Can ada annually, representng some 12 million dollars to Canadian manu facturers, says Janet Hamilton in an interesting story on the hosiery in dustry which appears in the October issue of the magazine of Canadian industries Limited. Nowhere else but in Japan can silk- be produced so well or so cheap ly, and ninety per cent, of her raw silk crop is shipped to America every year; half of it for the hosiery in dustry alone. A pound of silk thi*eads of almost infinitesimal fine ness, oi* about'266,000 yards, are re quired to make two dozen pairs. Silk stockings are knitted flat and then sown down the seam, unless they are of the seamless variety, when they are knit oh a round needle. A bit of silk will piull the wool ovex* the eyes of most men. * * * Any fool Cail get up a list of ques tions that will puzzle the wisest men. CANADA’S CANNED FRUITS POPULAR IN THE ORIENT Canadian canned "fruits and vege tables are well liked in Hong Kong and Canadian exporters are aware that an important feature of the Hong Kon^ and South China market is the value placed oil an attractive brand or trade mark o's as the Chin ese call it “chop”. In ^making sales to the Chinese populatioxl, the ‘chop’ is of the greatest value; because a considerable proportion of the buy ing population cannot read English They associate a particular require ment with a certain size, Shape or colox* of tile container. An original purchase of a canned product will be made chiefly -on the basis of price, but it .the product proves satisfactory, the buyer will examine the label carefully and in future purchases will always insist on the can with the same chop or label. The types of label used by 'Canadian packers, states the Cana dian Trade ‘Commissionei* at Hong Kong, are satisfactory fox* the South China market. STIFFNESS MINARDS Cjhedt
