'Ottawa, March 54.—To validate by legislation the war measure for prohibi- tion to make it efectiya one year after the official declaration of peace is the policy of th uomunton Oovernnsent as announced by Sir Thomas White act- ing 'premier, to a deputation which presented a memorial. from the Domin- ion prohibition committee. The Gov- ernment is also considering the ques- tion of submitting a plebiscite and the deputation was told frankly that there had been representations on the other side, but of rather a moderate char- acter,the labor men, for instance, de- siring more bite in their beer. The speakers for the deputation in - eluded Judge Eugene LaFontaine ° of I Montreal, president of the conmmittee; , George A. Warburton of Toronto, vice president; D. 13. Harkness, Winnipeg, general secretary; Dr. R. H. Grant, sr:cretary of the social commission of Nova Scotia; Mrs. W. E. Sanford, I•lamilton, president of the National Council of Worsen; R. M. Miller, Van- couver; A. A Powers, representing the United Farmers of Ontario; W. L. Best of the train service organization; Mrs. Gordon Wright of the W. C. T. U., and others. The memorial as prepared by the Do- minion prohibition committee defended its policy as follows: "The Dominion prohibition conven- tion declares its policy to be as fol- lows: "5. That the provisions of the order in -council prohibiting importaion man- ufacture and shipment into prohibited areas of intoxicating liquors for bev- erage uses should be continued in effect: "2.That this legislation should not be discontinued without a vote of the electors of Canada being taken on the question of its continuance or discon- tinuance. 3, That in case a referendum is de- cided upon by the Government it should not be taken until. the Canadian soldiers, now overseas, have been re- turned to civil lite in Canada. "4. That the date at which such vote is to be taken should be an- nounced at least six months' prior to the day of voting. "5 That in case a vote of the citi- zens of Canada is to be taken, pro- vision should he made for recording the votes of the women citizens of Canada on the same basis as those of the men citizens, "6 That manufacture of intoxicating liquor for export purposes should not be permitted, "7 The continuance of the defini- tion of 'intoxicating liquor' in the Dominion legislation as 'any liquor or beverage which contains more than 21/2 per cent of proof spirits," • An Enjoyable Dance, '.' h• • The Pastime Club gave an enjoyable dance last Friday evening at their Club rooms and a very enjoyable even- ing was spent.

Various Municipalit- ies.—Lead to Toronto —.Nuc- leus of Nucleus''of Trunk Lines are Being Planned to Tap Lake Huron (Toronto Star Weekly) ONE of the best illustrations to be found in the Province of the exact meaning of the County -Pro- vincial roadway system is in the west- ern counties, Huron, Bruce, Grey, Perth, and Wellington, which are shown on the accompanying map, Just glance along the roadways, and notice how, in so many cases, the trunk roads lead from county to county without a break, and it will be easy to appreciate how much an improved roadway system scientifically planned, is going t mean to through traffic. At the same time, it will be seen that though these counties are planning a tine link- ing up of roadways between counties; to provide improved trunk lines from one side of the Province to the other, there are a number under the County - Provincial scheme. A casual glance at the map will show that on the north the Toronto Orange- ville road leading through Dufferin, links up with Grey County at Inistioge and runs on to Flesherton. From Flesherton there are three distinct branches. One leads north to Meaford, skirting the shore of Georgian Bay, the second runs directly north-west to Owen Sound, while a third runs al- most directly west through Durham, Hanover and Welkerton to Kincardine. Farther south there is the trunk road leading into 'the north-west :of Old Ontario. This is the Hamilton -Guelph route and from Guelph There are routes provided through Wellington County to all the important centres in the north-western section, Starting with Wellington County, the main roads which have been placed under the 'County -Provincial system are: The route from Hamilton -to Guelph; Guelph to Rockwood, Guelph to Brisbane; Guelph to Gou- lock to link up with Hespeler in Waterloo; Guelph to Elora, with a branch at Marden leading to Fergus; Fergus to Craigsholme; Fergus through Spires to Belwood; 'Fergus through Arthur to Mount Forest; Fergus to Elora; Elora to Parker; Arthur through Gordonvilie and Damascus to Egerton;, and from Arthur south through Parker to a point near the Waterloo border. Other scattered stretches here and. there have also been taken in. Perth Criss -Crossed. Of the five counties mentioned. Perth has made the least advances. there being practically only two road- . 1 ways accepted in the County -Provincial' 1 highway policy. Roughly, these cut the county in half in either direction, with Mitchell as the centre. The routes are: Mitchell, north-east through Monkton. Atwood and Listowel to the Grey border; Mitchell west through Dublin to link up with the Seaforth Goderich road; Mitchell west to Sea- bringville, with a gap to Stratford, then from Stratford east through Shakes- hurgpeare roads to link toup Kitchenerwiththe, WaterlooNewHain- , Preston and Galt. Huron Leads the Way. Huron has shown plenty of progress- iveness. With Clinton as the (rub, there are four main roadways which have been taken into the scheme and which, with their branches, tap` all parts of the county. Directly south of Clinton there is the Exeter road t6 the Aliddlesex border, the aim being to connect with London and St. Thomas. From this Clinton -Exeter road there are five distinct cross lines. At the south there is the Centralia, Devon road to Grand Bend; the Elntville road to Kirkton, the Brewster -Farquhar road and other smaller ones. Frons Clin- ton north there is the Goderich line, which to the east connects with Stratford, and may in time link up with 'Toronto. From Clinton north- east there is the Blyth, Belgrave road to Wingham, From Goderich north there is the lake shore road connect- ing with Bruce 'County, leading even • - tully as far as Southampton along Lake iluron. Frani Seaforth there is the Winthrop, Walton, Brussels. road leading to Wpoxeter, with a di- rect turn 'to the east through Gorrle to l-larriston. There is as well the Lucknow-Goderich line, and the Lucknow townline route to Amberley, 1 in addition to a number of shorter roads which have not yet been pro- perly linked up, l5ruce Maleas Good Start Bruce County has gone in for the County -Provincial roads. i11 asn,exten- sive manner. At the south, there are tour distinct links with. tither counties, three into Huron, and' one into the corner of Huron and Wellington„ while two other systems' reach the border, but have not yet been come-- tinuedl by the adjoining counties. Tiler links with - Huron are at Amberly: - Lochalsh and Lucknow, while tire•: • other is the Southampton, Paisley,” Mildmay road which breaks into Well- ington at Clifford and gets a little past Harriston on the way to Elora. This latter- is probably Bruce's main ' County -Provincial road, as it angles through the centro of the cournty and '. provides connections. and outlets for the whole county for the. lower east. ' ern section of Old' Ontario, The sec. and 11'inin road is that which skirts . Lake 1•lusos front Amberly through ' Kincardine, Tiverton, Underwood, North Bruee and Port Elgin to South. 1- ampton, crossing, from the latter point to •Allenford, and ranting from therd 1 north to Wlarton, and from Wiai•tos almost- to the' head of 'the .peninsuls, , passing through Colpoys; bay Adams s vide, 1folpe Bay 11nd, 13afirosj ,Bay ori, the road to Lion's Heid There ares four distinct crossroads.
