LIQUOLR CAN BE `' LEGALLY
BROUGHT INTO HURON CO.
la accordance with the judgment of
Police Magiettrate Read of Gode"ricly
liquor can be legally brought into
Huron County, under the Cateda
Temperance Act, upon -a physician's
order, Beet Tow.neend of Goderich
was charged with• the offence before
the Mag(istrtate - at Goderich on
Satumday. The defendant went to
London ion or about the 23rd of
Dec., 1918, with four preacriptions,
bearing the signature of Dr. J. Ben-
son Whitely'., Tlhere, was no disput-
ing . the. fact that these four prescrip-
tions for liquor were filled at the
vendor's in London and brought by
the defendant to Goderich,sane_ for
himself and ane each for the three
other parties who' asked Townsend to
have. then_ fulled fox therm Ia -sum-:
ming up the case the maglis•trate,
says :—"I cannot seewhore the de-
fendant broke the law by bringing in
the liquor:• himself, rather than hav-
ing the vendor send it, which he is`
entitled to cdo, but a doubt exists in
my mind ..as to the defendant's -right
to brltig liquor for others on a doc-
tor's prescri ♦tion; but( it seeders to nee
that if a ,doctor's prescrititnoan isreg-
ularly and properly obtained there
should exist the right to send a mcs-
$•anger for the liquor, justas he could
send for any other "commodity,. It
has been intimated that an appeal
will be made from the decision.

Soldiers' Land Settlement Committee
of Huron County Council Meet at
Clinton
This committee to whom it was en-
trusted to collect data and to investi-
gate to what extent the Government
would assist the returned heroes of
Huron to settle down in civil life, met
in Minton on the 20th inst. The committee was composed of
Warden Campbell, Chairman LaPorte,
Ex -Wardens Livingston and Govenlock
and Councillors Ford, Beavers, Petty
Young, Sanders and Moffatt, County
officers Holman and Lane were also in
attendance.
By request, Mr. A. Murray Allan, of
Stratford, representing the Department
of Soldiers' Vocational Training Work,
was present and gave a very interest-
ing and instructive talk on the work
being carried on by the Government in
re-establishing returned soldiers in
their former occupations, and fitting
the disabled ones for useful and pro-
fitable employment in every sphere of
life. Instances were cited of the good
work where soldiers returning to all
intents and purposes totally disabled,
were now earning good wages, in fac-
tories, etc. His -work was intended to
Snake the returning men not only use-
ful citizens but also to make them feel
independent of charity, or any resem-
blance of it, and to restore their self
confidence. Young men, who, when
enlisting had not completed their edu-
cation or trades, were taken in hand
and assisted liberally to do so. Sur-
veys of factories and other places of
employment were being made to as-
sist those looking for einploynent or
wishing to learn trades. Any returned
soldier, wishing any information of this
nature, should drop a card giving his
name, regimental number, date of dis-
charge and place of discharge to A.
Murray Allan, Industrial Survey Offi-
cer, Stratford, and his case will re-
ceive immediate attention.
The Clerk presented such correspon-
dence and .information as he had gath-
ered, and the committee discussed very
fully all the phases of the question so
far as the Soldier's- Land Settlement
scheme has developed. The legisla-
tion so- far enacted is in the formative
stage and nothing very definite can be
determined until that is complete. - -
But every Reeve and his council, and
every other citizen can do much to-
wards furnishing the names and other
information looking to absorbing these
brave boys into the civil life of our
country. This work can be `begun - at
once and the sooner the better, to head
off any murmurings of discontent that
may, possibly arise through any real
or apparent indifference on" our part..
Cards will be sent out to each reeve
and such information will in due
course be collected,
The following resolutions, which ex-
plain themselves, were adopted by the
committee, and ordered to be forward-
ed to the proper authorities and; pub
listed in our county papers:

Dear Mother and Father—I received
your last letter also several parcels
for all of which 'run mine rernercie-
ment ". -I haven't written for some
time so now for a lot of news. 1 at
last caught a decent attack of Span-
ish Influenza, which put me in bed
for a week and out of action for ten
days. I am still a bit run down but
otherwise quite fit, The Genera--in.-
chief of the R.A.F. was here to -day
and what he said about us and ' our
work in this squadron pleased us all
immensely. Apparently we had done
much better than we. knew. - As you
see, I am in Germany with the army
of occupation, - and how long we will
have to stop here is a. question,. I
have had plenty of opportunity to
visit cities. Have seen, Brussels, Ant-
werp, Ghent, Lille, Contrai, RonhaJse
Tourcouge, Liege, the battle of Wat-
erloo site, the Rhine cities, also Bon,
where Beethoven and Sohuntann liv-
ed. Here in the city - there is a very
fine opera over the holidays, to which
we go occaser o,aallyt., There are eight
squadrons here, They - have been
froin the' R. A. F., as having done,ex-
celle.nt' work, and therefore to have -
the honor of coning up., As I still
remember coneiderable German I was
gaven the job of billeting officer for
squaaran for a few days, when, 'we
first got here. So I went to the resi-
dential part of the towne took a huge;
great, fine house for our mess, It is
wonderful, a real palace, all done in
white marble inside with wontderful
pictures, rugs , and 'furniture., They
have :ten or twelve, servant§, and I
have my own besides+ I occupy a'.fine
luxurious room, with a bath room at-
tached. and also a sitting room, and
everyone in the place bowing and sal-
uting and saying: "Jawahl, Mein Herr

mand or re:Neste We won the war,
