Here
For the first time in
Fall Fair day weather was ideal with
the result that' the attendance was
greater than it has been, in a long
time. Over 3500 were at the grounds
and in other respects the fair was a
wonderful success as well. The ent
ries in the buildings were not as
large as other years except the School
children’s exhibit which was much
greater. There was a splendid show
ing however. The Horse Show was
exceedingly fine as were the exhibits
of cattle, sheep, hogs, which exceed
ed in numbers previous years.
The loud1 speaker system was a
great improvement over other years.
Mpsic was supplied during the after
noon by the ^Vingham Citizens’ Band
and the Lucknow Pipe Band,
The Gentlemen’s road race resulted
in a win for J. Wright, Dorking, with
Clayton Fryfogle second, and J. H.
Galbraith, Brussels, third.
The exhibition of hurdle jumping
by Edna Johann, of Glenannan, on
Chestnut Melody, Jim McKague, of
Teeswater, on Winning Ways, and
Jack King, of Wroxeter, on Victor,
was excellent. The horses are own
ed by Miss Johann's father, Mr.. Hen
ry Johann.
Great interest centred around the
7-month-old triplet calves owned by
Mr. Wm. Brydges,. 3rd Con. Morris.
These are the only triplet calves in
Ontario and weigh 500 lbs. each. At
birth they weighed 45 pounds. The
trained goats of F. C. Williams, of
Shallow Lake, made a great hit
the older generation as well as
kiddies.

SOME BRIEF NOTES
ON THE CANADA
TEMPERANCE ACT
No. 3 — Why Suspension Was Asked
The special seventy-fifth annivers
ary services of Wingham United
Church were continued on Sunday.
The speakers were, Rev. E. F. Arm
strong, of Blenheim, a former pastor
of the Church, who delviered the
message in the morning, and his son,
Rev. Carmen Armstrong, of Mount
Brydges, who spoke in the evening.
Mr. Armstrong based his remarks on
the text “1 am proud of the Gospel
of Christ,” saying that the Gospel is
adequate to-day because it sends a
living God into the world. He threw
out a challenge to society and to the
Church to be of service in the world,
mentioning the great work done by
different organized service clubs. He
closed with a prayer of thanksgiving
for the peace negotiations which had
been worked out during the week.
The choir was assisted by Miss Mar
garet Partushek, of Kincardine, who
sang very effectively “The Lord Is
My Light.” An interesting part of
the service was the dedication of the
new chimes which consist of twenty-
five tones and are placed in the back
gallery. The young people of the
congregation have sponsored the pur
chase of these chimes and on their
behalf, their president, DeWitt Mill
er, made the presentation, all the
young people standing. Dr. Redmond
accepted the gift for the congregation
and Rev. E. F. Armstrong offered a
prayer of dedication while the chimes
played softly “Praise God
whom all blessings flow.”
In the evening Rev. Carmen
strong expressed his joy at
back in the town where he had gone
to school and in the church where he
had spent many happy days. He ask
ed the question “How, can we be
Christians in a world of revolt?” He
said there is a revolt outside the
Church, revolt agafnst unemploy
ment, slum conditions, high cost of
living, racial pride, revolt in politics,
etc., the spirit of revolt is every
where. There is also a revolt inside
the church, against
church going and in
ainst missions. But
stand together, must
ner Christian life and present a solid
front against these evils. An appeal
was made directly to the young peo
ple to dedicate their lives to service.
Splendid music was furnished by the
choir in their anthems and a quar
tette consisting of Messrs. E. Wil
kinson, R. Zurbrigg, B„ Cullimore and
J. Mitchell sang “The Beautiful
Land.”
A large gathering of Oddfellows
was held in the lodge rooms here on
Friday evening when Brucefield I.O,
O.F, presented to Maitland Lodge a
travelling gavel which will remain in
possession of the lodge here for a
month. It will then be presented to
the Seaforth lodge. This gavel start
ed on its way in Ottawa in’1931 and
each month since that time has been
in possession of many lodges. The
idea behind this gavel is to promote
visitations among lodges and increase
friendly contact among Oddfellows.
The gavel remains in the possession
of a lodge for a month. It is then
passed on to a lodge in another dis
trict.
The Brucefield lodge besides pre
senting the gavel, gave an^appreciat-
ed program. The members of the lo
cal lodge served a lunch at the con
clusion of the meeting. Visitors were
present from Brucefield, Seaforth,
Exeter, Blyth and Teeswater.

Among the counties that reverted
for self-protection to the Canada
Temperance Act about 1915, were
Huron, Perth and Peel. When the
Canada Temperance Act was brought
into operation in Huron in May of
that year, eleven of the sixteen town
ships and in addition the Town of
Clinton, were under local option law.
During the progress of the war, the
Ontario Temperance Act, imposing
province-wide prohibition of retail
sale, was passed in 1916.

laws to meet changed conditions and
growing abuses which appear with
the passage of time. The liquor laws

It also
the general rule that when a Domin

same charges, the • Dominion law

plication of these heavier penalties in
Huron and other counties under the
Canada Temperance Act.
In order to secure the complete ap
plication of the provincial prohibit
ory law, the Canada Temperance Act
was amended so as to provide for the
suspension of its operations on pe
tition of the electors concerned.
Huron, Perth and Peel took advant
age of this provision and in each
county the operation of the Act was
suspended by order of the Governor-
General in Council. The terms of this
suspension provision were a bit in
definite, The suspension was to con
tinue as long as the provincial stat
ute continued to be as restrictive as
the Canada Temperance Act.

ada Temperance Act in these count
ies and its suspension were due to the
