from, taking cold; they will run but
of doors not properly clad; have on
too much clothing and get overheated
and cool off too suddenly; they get
their feet wet; kick off the bed

watch them all the titne, so what is
She going to do?
Mothers should never neglect the

TORONTO, Oct. 21.—Aggressive
enforcement of the Ontario Liquox*
Control Act in Huron, Perth and
Peel Covfeties and in the District of
Manitoulin, jurisdictions in which
the Supreme Court of Ontario re
cently ruled the Canada Temperance
Act was in force, was ordered yester
day on law enforcement officers by
Hon. Gordon Conant, Attorney-Gen
eral.
“These instructions,” he said, ‘are
entirely consistent with the Govern
ment’s policy previously announced.
We will not enforce the C.T.A., but
we will enforce aggressively the
L.C.A. to the fullest extent that the
law permits/

The .Supreme Court’s decision was
made on a reference submitted by
■the Ontario Government. The consti-
Itutionity of the C.T.A. was not in
question in the reference and, al
ready, an appeal to the Privy Council
is under way against the decision.
In a memorandum of law,
warded to officers, it is set out:
“The only offences contemplated
by the C.T.A. are selling, keeping or
exposing for sale and none of the
other offences prohibited "By the
L.C.A. are dealt with in the C.T.A.
In respect to those offences contain-
tained in the L.C.A. and not in the
C.T.A., there is no reason why such
offences should not be prosecuted
under the L.C.A. in territories un
der the C.T.A., i.e., having in an il
legal place, drunkenness in a
lie place, supplying to minors,
gal consumption, etc.”

Brings Animal Back on Motorcycle
Traffic Officer N. Lever drove into
Clinton on 'Saturday morning last
about 9 with the carcass of a large
buck deer across the side car of his
motorcycle. A telephone call from
Mr. Elmer Webster of the Varna
Road at eight o’clock informing the
! officer of the finding of the deer
jdead on the roadside was the sequel
' ig call and unsuc
cessful search for the deer at four
a.m. The call was from Mr. Frank
Elliott, of Blyth, who driving along
the road had struck the animal as
it bounded across the road in front
of his car. The car was extensively
damaged by the impact, front fend
ers, radiators and headlights being
crushed.^ The deer, one of the larg
est to be seen about these parts tho’
having received its death wound,
was able to hobble away and in the
darkness could not be located.
| It had been hit in the hind quar
ters, both hind legs being broken
and the body crushed and when
found had been dead for several
hours. The carcass was taken to a
local butcher to be dressed and if
any of the venison can be salvaged
it will be taken to the County Home.
Officer Lever stated that it is the
first deer to .be killed in Huron ’Coun
ty this year. He also told of a nar
row escape from hitting one himself
on one of his night rides. A young
deer bounded across in front of his
car to miss by a split second being
struck, with possible fatal results
for both man and beast. That deer
leaped from the shoulder of the

FARMERS URGED TO HAVE 1940
SEEDING REQUSITES ON HAND
<T. D. MacLeod, of Department of
Agriculture, Emphasizes Duty to In-
Crease Crop Production for
Empire Needs
In view of the present situation
in Europe, it is of vital importance
that every effort be made to increase
crop production, particularly for the
sustenance of those actively engaged
in the defence of the empire, says J.
D. MacLeod, crops, seeds and weeds
branch, Ontario department of agri
culture.
Ontario fanners have a duty to
perform, that of making a special
effort to produce more bushels per
acre than has been customary in
the past. It is possible to do this
without increasing materially the
cost of production by maintaining
and building up soil fertilty; adopt
ing greater efficiency of implements
and labor; better cultural practices
and by sowing the very best seed
obtainable.
'Farmers are urged to make sure
that they have their 1940 seeding
requirements on hand. Clean and
grade a sufficient amount of seed
for your own use. Do not leave
important work until your bins
low.
Do it now. If you have not
sufficient or suitable seed of your
own, purchase high quality seed
from your neighbor. This should be
done while prices are reasonable
and before there is a scarcity.
The sowing of. clean seed is
first step in profitable farming
the first step ih weed control,
MacLeod declares.
Clean seed should be a bright,
plump, uniform sample, pure as to
Variety, free from all foreign mat
ter, including seeds of other cultivat
ed crops, diseased grains, small
shrunken grains and weed seeds.
