The po- lice have greater powers and these powers result in a long list of cases in count, The very presence of these cases proclaim the fact that police powers do not prevent them. "As for the provision which prohibits the advertising of li- quor in this province, here the act clasttes with a different class of offender and neither law nor police seem able toput any bite in the .teeth at all. "These teeth are not all there as in the act. We have to vote for the whple act and the Apt is a package deal. "The LCA provides for li- quor outlets: warehouses, liquor stores, and an assortment of li- cenced premises where ligpor is sold. It might be the last thing you want, but a vete .for the re- vocation of the Canada Temper- ance Act on November 30 is at the same time a vote for the es- tablishment of outlets through- out this county, The statement could he challenged as an over- simplification but put in the in- termediate steps and the truth of it stands. A vote for the LCA is a vote for the liquor outlets it makes provision for." " Rev. Lewis pointed out that ministers who came to Huron county from LCA areas found conditions here were decidedly better. He also described condi- tions which he experienced in an LCA community "every bit as respectable as ours here" — beer and whisky bottles found in the driving shed of the church, a dnink found sleeping in the church basement, "winos" weaving back into town after having gone up the railroad tracks to drink their alcohol where the police wouldn't bother them. "Another kind of evidence of the relative effectiveness . o£ these acts is the claim that there are notably fewer alcoholics in proportion to population in Hu- ron county under the CTA than in other counties under the LCA. "Still another kind of evidence is the number of court cases in areas where the LCA is in force. This undiminishing load of court cases is standing testi- mony that this law is powerless to prevent what it constantly punishes, "We are told that the LCA with its teeth will control li- quor in Huron county more ef- fectively than the CTA, yet this claim does not seem to be borne out in practice, indeed, far from it. I would suggest two reasons for this: one is that under the CTA we have no liquor outlets in the county, liquor is conse- quently less easily available and there is actually a smaller quan- tity used. The other reason is that the CTA controls by prohi- biting the sale of liquor in the area and concentrating on the seller; the LCA promotes the sale of liquor and bears down on the consumer. The lawmak- ers had something valuable in the CTA which was lost in the later act." Rev. Lewis made 'three gues- ses concerning the change in conditions if the LCA is voted in. "My first guess is that if the LCA becomes law in this coun- ty there will be a liquor outlet, probably s government liquor store, opened in this town. "My second guess is that three years later we shall have an- other vote, this time for li- cenced outlets and that the vote will carry. Why do I guess three years; That's easy; that's the length of time • it usually takes. Why do I say the vote will carry? That's easy too; we shall have had a liquor outlet for three years and public opi- nion in the town will have under- gone a subtle change. And by that time there will be strong reasons pressing us to vote in licenced outlets. We shall be losing too muchbusiness to other centres near us and that sort of thing, 'Twas quiet Hallowe'en Provincial and local police re-, port little damage in the dist- rict over the Hallowe'en week- end. Thieves broke into the Spruce Grove service station, operated by John Hodgins, sometime Sunday morning. They stole $10 in silver and about $30 worth of cigarettes after breaking the glass window in the door. An old-fashioned bathroom Iwo-holer -- was planted on the mein street of Dashwood Satur- day m or n i n g. The building. painted white, was removed from bep't of Highways proper- ty near Grand Bend, Damage to mail boxes, re- moval of farm equipment, block- ing of roads and turning oil of town fire hydrants were among the minor incidents reported. A stare in, the stable of J. W. Weber, No. 83, was found dead hi its stall Sunday morning but it is not known yet if the animal was poisoned or died of natural causes. Dr. It. F. Roel- ofson, VS, has sent samples to the laboratory at UAC for examination.

We shall discover that the problems we thought would be solved are still with us. prinking by min- ors, for example will still be a. problem and we shall still won, der what to .do about it. Some- how I don't think this discovery will surprise anyone very much; how could one be surprised to find that the LCA with its eight kind of liquor outlets, among which is the beer parlour vomit - ting its stench of fetid air over the sidewalk, is not after ail the saviour of our young people, "The CTA is net a perfect law but it is the best we have. If we sustain it on November 30 there will be a possibility of im• proving it and far that we must work, In the knowledge that it is a better law and in the hope of improving it I shall vote against the revocation." Stephen council handles appeals Stephen Township Council met Monday evening with all mem- bers present with Reeve Glenn Webb in the chair. Bylaw restricting the erection of buildings other than those used for agricultural purposes in the area of high water in the Ausable basin was given its third and final reading and a copy will be sent to the muni- cipal board for approval on motion by James Hayter and Ed Hendrick. Following the regular meeting the council met as a court of revision on assessment appeals. The appeal from the Read Fertilizer Co. was considered and the decision was adjourned to a Fater date. The assessment of William McCann was reduced $500 on buildings. The assessment of George Dixon was reduced $700 on land. The assessment of Elsie Volk was reduced $100 on building that had been torn down. The assessment of Roy Pask was upheld by the court. Town council — Continued from page 1 lots are sold in Exeter."

In addition to "trick or treat", school children called for donations to UNICEF, and raised nearly $300 in three centres, --T-A Photo Start work on new hall Work will begin this week on the new Kingdom Hall for the Exeter district congregation' of Jehovah Witnesses, presiding minister Lloyd Hoffman an- nounced, The hall will be erected on north Carling street. Mr. Hoffman said many offers of help had been received from nearby congregations to get the building erected before winter. Members of the local congre- see gation attended a three-day as- sembly in Strathroy over the weekend, Among the 19 new min- isters dedicated by water bap - ounce as reques a UC !ism was Fred W M Al to install new fluorescent street lighting on Main street from Wellington to No. 83. A new "power groove" light, said to be considerably more powerful than other fluorescents tried here, will be used on the highway. The units are four - foot long, compared to the two - foot lamps on William street. Council approved PUC's plans for improvement and additions to other street lighting. This includes three of the smaller fluorescents on George street, east of No. 4; five others on Andrew, between Sanders and James; six older -type brac- kets on No. 83 between William and the Shaw residence; and single brackets on Carling, be- tween Alexander and 83; An- drew, between Alexander and 83, Victoria and Wellington and between Wellington and Hill; William, north of Church; Marl- boro, between Sanders and Gid - ley and at the east end of Sanders. Cost to the PUC will be in the neighborhood of $1,500 and the monthly charge to the town was estimated around $6.00 plus fees for depreciation and interest. Council also ordered a four - foot unit to light the parking lot at the rear of the town hall. In other business, council: - Issued building permits to Don Gooding Construction, Park- hill, to build a house for W. Mathers in the Pooley subdivi- sion, Huron. street; George Dobbs, a house on Riverside Drive; Don Gravett, a carport; Milton Keller Construction, a house on Marlboro.

Attendance at the convention reached a peak of 1,000 to hear A. W. MacNamara, district su- pervisor, speak on the topic, "When is God's will to be done, on earth?" He said God's will has never been done earth -wide by all mankind as God indi- cated it should be in Edep. For this reason the world finds it- self in such a bad condition. Mr. McNamara described how God would cause war to cease— not 'by converting nations to Christianity, nor by armies of so-called Christian nations, nor by the UNO but by the .heaven- ly armies of Christ which will bring about the necessary change at Armageddon.

This is pri- vate property! It costs $500 to belong to this club!" "Okay, okay," said one of the bums, straightening to his full height and brushing himself off. "But let me warn you, this is no way to get new members!" for use by the canning plant was "not prohibitive".
