-Dear 814—Further to the article
appearing 'in last week's nis.ene et The

Temperance Act, I would like to make
known the following facts:
The Attorney-44enerars Department,
aecerding to report; has inthpated.that
the Liquor Control Mt has neva' been..
rescinded as it applies td the counties
of Huron, Perth, Peel and Manitoulin

Therefore the rumor that Was going

it, or that a person could take a flaek
to a. public dance and proceed to

This would definitely be am infraction
of the Liquor Control Act and fa per-
son so doing would be liable to a conr
viction for consuming in a public piece.
It has been stated that the temper-
ance people are in the minority, but
it was significant that the wets were
