Flight. Liquor Problem With Strategy Speaker Tells Large Crowd At Rally A congregation of more. than 1,200 people crowded Knox Pres- byterian Church here on Sunday night for a victory 'rally 'to •bring to a close a 'Iiuron County, Con- clave staged aver the week -end by the Ontario Temperance Federa- tion in co-operation with, its Huron County Unit and churches and schools in the" county. Every available seat was taken in the church auditorium, the chapel, Sunday School rooms, lec- ture hall and` choir room, as people came from all partspof the county to take part the climaxing ser- vice. Anda dynamic speaker, Rev. Dr. E. Crossley Hunter, minister of Trinity United Chureh, Toronto, brought a message to the massive congregation in which he cited strategy as the best means th over- come Canada's alcohol problem. Threat To Values "This 'problem," Dr. Hunter said, "threatens every moral and spirit- ual value. An enemy was never so deeply entrenched or more strong- ly enmeshed in our social life." He said that many people thought the situation was hopeless, that it was a lost cause and there was nothing that could be done. "The situation calls for stetat- egy," he claimed. "Strategy is fundamental in any battle—physical' or moral. Let's ask 'ourselves what shall be our strategy if we are to hope to win the battle." He said that there must be built up in Ontario and in Canada a rising -tide of moral indignation against the ravages of alcohol. "Al- most $3,000,000 is paid over the counters of liquor stores in this country, every day;" he, said. He charged that during World„War 11 19,000,000 battles of liquor had been shipped - from Canada's At- lantic coast, yet Westminster Church in Winnipeg had to send Bundles for Britain via Vancouver when shipping space was not avail- able"^ on the east coast. -Russia, he said had used psychol- ogical methods in dealing with its alcohol problem and in cutting down the country's consumrptioh of alcohol. In `one year, he said, the consumption of liquor in Russia dropped 100,000,000 gallons. "We in Canada, however, glam- orize liquor,'” he said, "Our young people • arebeing taught through television and the movies that drinking is the right thing to do. Now we have beer parlors and cocktail lounges •giamerized." Use Education A strategy of continued and in --1 creased education should also be used, Dr. Hunter stated. "Never - was there a greater need of educa- tion to warn our young people against this thing. We have a magnificent case for an education program and We must use it to the full." - And the strategy program must be one of Christian witness and example, "For the Christian there i is only one attitude—the attitude of abstinence." l:le told the congregation that he had seen' young people drinking at several public occasions. "To me that's a confession that the normal things of life are enot enough to satisfy them. Psychol- ogists say thatebehind drinking is a frustration," he said. "You and I do not need the arti- ficial and dangerous stimui1us if we have within us the spirit of Christ." The ser(ice was conducted by Rev. R. G. MacMillan, minister of Knox Church. A massed choir was conducted by W. H, Bishop, organ- ist of Knox Church. Also speaki,ng'vvas the secretary of the Ontario Temperance Feder- ation•, Rev. Albert Johnson, of ,who said that the conclave 'was' the eighth in a series. Rallies Held The conclave was opened on Saturday night with- two rallies, a • teen-age turnout which packed the Gdderich Collegiate. Institute auditorium, and a young ,adult con- clave at Knox Church. Royal F. Moulton, of Toronto, was organizer for both. events. 4104614: WHAT Y9 ,WPR e "weed t the Week".41; Seed- ing thine *n34110/00 .111 efl, blossoliU0 oTShedding: lSe,ec1 ' on, Aeldst or roadsides,, or elo ;ung the aombanet or • getting .ahea*I of •axe . exPenei�ve pasture tlre'says the Field Crops 13rauek, Qntaj44 •I►e. partmennt of A:gricultUre.

In the ease of a No. 3 seed oats carrying maximum weed seed con- tent for that grade, sowed at two bushels per acre, a total of 6,800 weed.., -seeds per acre would be sowed. This would give a nice stand of four weed plants in three square yards. But almost one- quarter of all the grain samples collected in seed drill surveys are• classed as rejected because of high- er weed seed content than is al- lowed in No. 3 seed. With a maxi; mum of 100 weed seeds per pound allowed in No. 3 seed, one sample in the survey contained 5,600.
