Mr, Smith’s condition was critical for several' days, hut the man has since shown improvement and is now helieyed put pf danger.

A.? What ip the Cgnada Temperance Act? It is an act designed to re­ duce to a minimum the public sale and use of intoxicating liquor as a beyerage. It takes away .completely from private interests in the area to which it .applies the privilege of selling any intoxicating liquor, and thus removes the opportunities of making revenue from the retail salp of liquor, which is generally admitted to be the desire of per- ons engaged Iu the liquor business. It is pot prohibition, maintain? for While it it the public sale of liqpprs, it dees not manufacture, nor its for personal use only. Intoxicating liquor, ip the C.T.A., “includes every spir­ ituous or malt liquor, and every wine, and any and every combina­tion of liquors or drinks that is in­ toxicating and any mixed liquor capable of being used as a beverage and part bf which ig spirituous or otherwise intoxicating.” Liquor may be secured from lic­ ensed druggists in small quantities for strictly medicinal purposes, or for bona fide use ip certain man­ ufacturing plants, but only on the certificate of a legally qualified physician or magistrate. Wine may? be secured for sacra­ mental purposes from licensed ven­ dors on a clergyman’s certificate. Liquor may also be used in pri­ vate homes, but only for and family use. Any liquor brought in sonal or family use must a licensed carrier and be outside the county. A person .can not .bring liquor to himself. The Act can be brought into force or removed-in a coupty, city or electoral district by a majority vote and .thus has an advantage over what is known in Ontario as Local Option, which applies only to a municipality. All the principles or rights in­ volved in County Lscal Option are already involved in Municipal Local Option, which the Liquor Control Act recognizes and includes, .County Local Option differs only’ in the fact that it is a wider and more ef­ fective expression of the will of the people. The penalties provided by the C.T.A, are as follows: first offence a fine of not less than $50 or more than $100, or imprisonment for a term not exceeding one month, with or without labour; and for a sec­ ond and every subsequent offence, to imprisonment for a term not ex­ ceeding four months, with or with­ out hard labour. The Ontario Liquor Laws and other municipal laws are enforce­ able in a C.TA, County where they do not conflict with the provision of the Dominion Law (C,T.A.); as an instance drunkenness and other minor violations are , punishable under theProvincial laws. All local and provincial police are re­ sponsible for its enforcement. Tract of Hurpo Shore b Indian? Left it* By IVERS OW of the Toronto Globe and Mail A link with the colonization days ■ Of' Southern Ontario is '.thp offering for sale of a 6,61^-apre tract of land With six miles of frontage along Lake Huron between. Grand (Bend and Port Frank, it represents more than half the. present holdings of the historic Canada Company, which 100 years ago owned several millions of acres of Ontario home­ stead lands. “It’s just as the Indians left It?” said CharteB Jones, 6?, Commission­ er ip Canada for the ILondon-owned company which induced thousands of the earjy settlers to Canada from Great Britain. “So far as I know there never has (been any extensive timber cutting in the area. It’s known as the Pinery, ip Bosapquet Township, and is too sandy for gen­ eral farming; the lake shore is all sandy beach,” One of the pioneer companies on tpis continent, The (Canada Com­ pany has been in process of wind­ ing up since 1935 when Mr. Jones became chief inspector here and em- marked on a land-selling career which has caused him to he refer-, red to as “the man who has sold more land than has any one else in Canada,” He has sold mpre than 50,000 acres for the company, which still owns about 12,000' acres. Has Valuable Archives The Canada Company was given a Royal Charter in August, 1826, with a capitalization of £1,00'0,000 to buy Clergy Reserves and Crown lands in Upper ^Canada and resell them to colonizers they induced to come to Canada. The company bought at a price close to 75 cents an acre and sold in pioneer days at about $2.50 an acre. Invaluable archives are part of the records of the company and the Ontario Government years ago evi­ denced a desire to have them. The company feels it still has need for them in its vaults at its Bay St., Toronto office to answer queries from lawyers and others regarding land sales of 100 and more years,, ago. Copies of letters written "by early settlers to former homes in Scot­ land, Ireland and England ar© part of the archives. One Scotsman here for less than a year wrote that, much'as he loved his native heath, he never would return there from' Guelph district. Even though some- one .paid his fare back to Scotland and guaranteed him an annuity of £i20 a year. Others wrote letters stating that it was a country where a man who worked hard would soon be affluent, (but that slothful, in­ temperate persons would be beggars here just as they would be beggars anywhere Suiprised „ .

Meeting regular- monthly meeting TAKE A TIP Nothing can spoil ’ the festive gaiety more completely than an accident in the home. Here are a few precautions. Do not handle electric appli­ ances with wet hands. Do not yank at cords or run them under rugs. Don’t neglect purchasing extra lamp bulbs of various sizes so they will be on hand when needed. Do not place fancy inflamable ornaments, synthetic materials, pa­ per or cotton near high-wattage lamp bulbs. Do not overload your electrical outlets. Usually 1200 watts is as much as the ordinary circuit will supply. Do not put pennies in a brown­ out fuse. A blown fuse is a warn­ ing that the circuit is overloaded. A replacement of a new fuse of the same strength is required. Do not forget to have insulated staples on hand in case you want to use an extension cord. Do not burn candles close" to Christmas trees, curtains, wall paper, woodwork or mirrors.
