hoped the worship of the morning

pointed out how necessary it was to
have God as the ha'ckgroaand of all
our .organized and personal efforts
for the betterments of the human
lot. Jesus, he said, was acceptable
to the "Common. People" because
He understood them and they could
understand Him. They felt, He
was, deeply concerned about them
and 1m His presence They had a
senile o2 the nearness of God. The
choir rendered the anthem, "Lift
up your heads, oh ye gates," by
Hopkins.

OBITUARY
Amanda Louise McCracken
On Tuesday morning, June 21st,
there passed away to her last long
rest, one of Brussels' fife -long one
zeas in the person of Miss Amanda
Loullse McCracken, a member of one
of the oldest resident families.
Her father, W. 1-1. McCracken, one
of the early settlers of this village,
was a prominent grocer here for
many years. After Ills demise the
business was continued by his son
William, familiarly known to Brus-
selites and community as "Billy",
until a year or so before he himself
passed away five years ago.
Mlles MoOraleken was a quiet, un- •
assuming woman never anxious to be
conspecuous ar to the spot -light
never enviolus of ethers who were—
but content to do her good deeds
behind the scene, without thought of
praise or reward.
Always kind-hearted and full of
empathy for those she felt needed
I. she spent mach of her ttmae
visiting the sick and shat -ins, until
her own illness a few mouths ago;
prevented her from carrying on her
many tender and considerate activit-
ies.
It is the solid folk of the late Miss
McCracken type that make for
better communities everywhere. I
There are far too few like her.
She will be greatly aniseed by
many of her neighbors and others
who knew her well, besides her two
sisters, Eva and Carrie, who, of
course, will miss her most.. All will
have many kind and happy recollect-
ions of her good deeds. These will
live forever,

LETTER TO il-IE EOITUR
The Huron County Council has by
resolution at its last meeting, under-
taken eo deal with. the Canada
Temperance Aot, an act which has
been in force since 1913,
As president of Huron Coenty
Temperance Federation, the organi-
zation which inaugerated the cam-
paign to bring the C. T. A. into
operation, may I he allowed to
state a few facts?
The County Counoil had nothing
to do with bringing this Act into
force and has no place in having It
set aside. The procedure to bring
the Act into force was initiated by
the people and oan only be set
aside by the people.
Our temperance organization
stands solidly behind the Act as the
most satisfactory method available
of dealing with the traffic. When the
governmeaut m,a,kes a better law
available, we will gladly recommend
Sits adoption.
For a number of years the C. T. A.
and the Liquor Control Act of One-
anio were both enforced by our
Pnovinciad Government, until 1947
when the Government amended the
C. T. A. by adding a provision vehloh
reads in part: "Section No. 165 -none
of the provisions of thlis Aot Oche
Liquor Control Act) than apply in
any area within the Province in
which the C. T. A. es in force.
It should be remembered that the
Onira•r10 Government Is solely re-
sponsible for enforcing the C. T. A.
in common with other Dominion
lame.
We do not claim that the results
of this Act are perfect but we chat•
lenge any councillor to name any
county in th•e Province where con-
ditions in this respect are more satis-
factory than in Huron.
The success of any law depends on
its enforcement. The citizens of
Huron County should set up in each
nuun'mipaliiy an organization for its
enforcement. We, need the support 1
of every abiding citizen to stand 1
behind this law, to make it effect -
I SVP.
C. M. Robertson
President of Huron Coity
i Temperance Federation.
