Quick Canadian Ice Fishing Draws To A Close Youths Drinking Liquor Discussed By Councillors Referring to "disparaging re- marks" made about young people in Huron County, including Gode- rich, and the Liquor question, which appeared in a Toronto daily newspaper some weeks ago; Mayor J. E. Huckins stated at the town council meeting Friday night, "Our young people are no different than others; if they are, then we people are to blame for we make the laws." Home after being a patient at Westminster Hospital, London, for some time, • Mayor Huckins said after he read the daily newspaper articles mentioned above while in the hospital one would gain the impression that people in Huron County were "on the way to the dogs.' He expressed surprise th:.t the temperance people had not taken up the issue -more than they did. Saying that the C.T.A., was "ridiculous and degrading," Mayor Huckins believed it to be "at the root of all the trouble." He drew a word picture, for the sake of illustration, of the Reeve and him- self going to a city and each pur- chasing a case of -beer; each bravg- ing - the case of beer to Goderich and giving it to one another. "This." he said, "is perfectly legal." Councillor C. M. Robertson took objection to this statement, claim- I ing it had to be brought to Gode- rich by common carrier to be legal. ; "Individual citizens can not bring ; it in legally because you and 1 are not common carriers," sa!d Councillor Robe?tson. "Then why does the C.T.A. not have the Huron County border; i checked for these cars coming in with it." 'asked Mayor Huckin, adding. "They know the law is being broken about every five minutes." Objecting to liquor being drunk at dance balls, Mayor Huckins said. "I'm no temperance crank but there such a thing as decency and I think that, liquor in dancing halls should be checked." Councillors- John Vincent and Reuben Besse expressed agree- ment with the _ aforementioned statement. "The situation is rotten"' com- mented Reeve J. II. Graham. Referring to the question of the legality of having liquor on them which had been purchased by' them rather than given to them, Mayor Huckins said, "Just how often. if ever. 'are youths checked to de- termine whether the liquor -they're drinking was purchased by them!" "I think we should, back the police in their checking on these youths " said councillor Robertson. POLICE 'REPORT Police report to town ceased Friday night for the month art February revealed that of the V in- property stolen during . the month, $540 had been recon.

A pretty little girl of seven en- tered a store in a small town and said: "I want some cloth to make my dolly- a dress." - The merchant selected a remn- ant and handed the child the pack- age - "How much is it?" she asked. "Just one kiss," was the reply. "All `right,"`said the child, as she turned to go. "Grandma said to tell you she would pay you when she came in tomorrow."
