CONSTIPATION TEAKS DOWN a gasoline station at Kingsbridge and got away with a tank full of gasoline, the extent of their haul. Edward Mar­ tin, 25, service station attendant, re­ ports that a 1939 qar, with a driver in the front seat and two others in the back, drove in from the north, on the Blue Water highway, and asked to have the gasoline tank filled with gas­ oline. This done, the men asked for a package of, cigarettes, but Martin asked for the money first. Immedi­ ately the two men in the rear seat pulled guns, one demanding “stick ’em up.” They drove off with Mar­ tin covered. , Winghain Advance-Times Published at WINGHAM - ONTARIO Subscription Rate — One Year $2.00 Six months, $1.00 in advance To U.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL IS RIGHT The Attorney-General has started a war on publications issuing lewd and obscene literature. Reading matter of this description is refused entry into Canada from United States, but the Attorney-General has investigated Ca­ nadian publications and five have been found unfit for circulation in Canada. Right thinking people everywhere will be glad that the powers-that-be are taking up. this matter. Small use it is for our public and Sunday, schools to try to inculcate morality with the young if they can obtain stories of’ vice and obscenity from news stands. Our forefather waged war on the . old dime novel, but they never dream­ ed of the present day trash that is being dished up to the youth of this country. The churches • are behind this important move and it will be a , great, thing for Canada if such so called literature is completely stopp­ ed. Suspect Arson Rewards totalling $200, posted by the Fire Marshall’s Department, The Town of Southampton, the Econom­ ical Mutual Fire Isurance Co., and the County of Bruce, the latter applicable anywhere in the county, will be paid to the person or persons supplying in­ formation which will lead to the con­ viction of any one on a charge of ar­ son in the recent fire which destroy­ ed the J. M. Schneider cottage here.— Southampton Beacon. and * * * sjc SHOULD PROBE RED ACTIVITIES Col. George A. Drew, leader of the Conservative opposition in the Ontar­ io Legislature, in a speech at Strat­ ford strongly advocated that the Can­ adian Government order an inquiry into the activities of the Communists, in Canada. Recently press notices have been made that Communists within our country have been carry­ ing their propoganda. That they may cause us harm, if allowed to spread their vicious doctrines,'is almost cer­ tain. The time to stop such things is in the beginning and if not then as soon as possible. The beginning of Communistic propoganda in Canada was a considerable time ago and steps should be taken at once to have such activities cease. These people use all sorts of smooth ways to disguise their activities, it is said. A thorough probe would bring to light the inner workings of these people and proper methods could then be instituted1 to put a stop to this ‘ism* that will do us not but harm, The Dies committee in the United States has found that there is a distinct tie-up between the Communists in the United States.and Russia. Now would be a good time to take a crack at this destructive force called Communism. sfc * ❖ SPLENDID CO-OPERATION The Allies, Great Britain France, are going about the business of Avar in a very efficient and' co-op­ erative manner. Not only are their armed forces, all branches, working ’ ■ to-gether as if they were of the same ! nation, but now they have set up an I economic machine to serve their joint (war efforts. Itds reported that Great Britain and France have agreed upon close and continuous co-operation in the financial and economic spheres. These two great allies are' bount to- 1 gether by a mutual purpose and their ' close co-operation in all matters has been a jolt to the Germans, who hop­ ed by propoganda to cause a rift be­ tween these nations. How wrong Germany was in this surmise is shown by the successful efforts of both ‘the allied countries to carry on with even greater confidence., one with the oth­ er. Wolves Kill Dog in Bruce Peninsula • Wolves are again prowling in the Lake Charles vicinity. Two animals, believed to be wolves, entered the farmyard of Bob McCoag, who re­ sides on the Neil McCoag homestead near Lake Charles, and boldly walked to the woodshed door. Here they were encountered by the McCoag col­ lie dog, who sprang gamely at the two prowlers and in the fight that en­ sued numbers triumphed with the dog being dead and the two wolves mak­ ing off into the bush.—Wiarton Echo.
