There was a laiigo attendance at
the 'anneal meeting of the Goderich

Mr. George Holland, who was one'
ofthep movers ' rime overs iii the - organ- '
ization of the System and'has s neon
President during tilewhole " of its
Nag.
seven years, iiitinated that fol u , ag
obs which mere' obvious to all, , he
could not accept' re-election. 17e:

Paci,

Y

} e
unanimously ea mssed
The -meeting cam
:cased
appreciation of Mr. Holland's
past services and its. regret that he
conid not accept his old place Oa the
board,
Mr, E. Il. \Vise, who has been a
commissioner for the past four s ears;
was " elected president. A better
' choice could not have been made for
in,addition to understanding the
needs of the. System Mr, Wise has
-the desire to make ,,it serve the in-
terests of the township in the ery
best possible way.
Mr. John McClure was selected as
commissioner to fill the vacalep
caused by the resignation of Mr.
Holland and the step-up of 31(r.
Wise. A.s a member of ,the emend
and as reeve `Mr.. McClure proved
himself to he all right and all
riglit he will be on the Te.le;litone
System, too. Ile has the cotaleu c
of the people and thtt goes a Tong
way when you have to do with
man)t men of many minds.
Mr. Adam Cantelon, who has been
secretary for 1915 tenderedhis re-
signation, which was accepted ' with
a reluctance 'Which was not core-
cealed at all. I -le was an o.k. .•cc-
r:etary and the business of the Sv s-
tem ]moved along as smoothly aa if
hd had been years in office. There
is no one who enjoys more working
along Golden Rule lines than the
genial Adam Cantelon and, almost
marvelous to relate, therewere no
registered kicks during his terns of
office or at its conclusion,
Mr. ,Robt. G. Thompson •succeeds
as .secretary and will wax riotl 00
forty-five dollars a pear. 10 this
connection it might be observed that
the honor of holding municipal posi-
tions Is supposed to more than make
up for the lack of pay. Mr. -Thomp-
son has been tax collector for the
past three or so years and each
season 'has returned the roll in
record-breaking time. As results are
what count these modern days more
than ever the council never seriously
thinks of creating a vacancy.
Mr. George Mair will continue to
he linesman. He is obliging and
does ; good work and, those are the
great essentials for a telephone lin-
esman who has many people to deal
with, same of whom grow impat-
ient at times and, go to steak, yea
beliy throw things.

Dear Friend' • and Brother, :We, the
member's and adherents of, the Hot-
mesville-Methodist church, hare met
this evening to offer you our tribute
of honor and respect and also our
good wishes on your departure frons
our midata. You have lte:n so many
years a Member of our church and
community that it almost seems in-
credible that you are to sever your
connections with us. For forty-five
years and more you have been an
honored, faithful and consistent mem-
ber of our church ;' your regularity
at the church services has been most
conspicuous Inc seldom has your pew
been vacant at the call to, worship.
In the class meeting 'also your tee-
titnony has been bright and assur-
ing, bearing evidence of God's un-
failing goodness to you. As a mem-
ber 01 the Trustee Board since be-
fore our church was built and also
a member of the Ouarterly Official
Board you have rendered valiant
service. Your views have always
been progressive and optimistic and
you have always done any work as-
signed you with promptitude and
despatch, \Ve may also say you
have -won imperishable fame with
the ladies, inasmuch as you cheap.,
kept their programs in mind, and
dropped into their meetings with a
word of good cheer and a " generous
offering to the enterprise in hand.
In the matter of generosity, your
givings have been exceedingly liter-
al and cheerful, and in you the treas-
ury of the church and the claims
of all the funds have found a faithful
friend. As a neighbor: and memt:er

The existence of the_British Empire depends upon the outcome
of the WZrar.. All our resources must be thrown into the scale.
The Empire's call is for inen, munitions, food, clothing, and, above all things,
MONEY. We aro being called llpan to give our millions to carry on the war. Sir
'Geo. E. Foster has `stated that the Dominion Government might even ask for a
Domestic Loan of $300,000,000. It is only a few weeks ago that Canadians sub-
scribed over $100,000,000 to a War Loan.
These facts bring right home to us that this is, as Premier Asquith stated, "A
War of Money as well as .Men.
Sir Robert Borden, Sir Thomas White, Finance Minister, and other prominent
nen have emphasized the necessity of economy.
°Conserve our wealth. Cut clown expenses. This is what we must do.
s
mething to Think
Did you MT!' seriously think about
the millions (if dollars expended an -
imam' for alcoholic beverages in the
Province of Ontario 9
.As nearly as call be estimated from
figures, based on Dominion Govern-
ment returns, the consumption of alco-
holic beverages in the Dominion in 1914
bou
was $103,049,129. .Assuming that On-
tario, whose population is ono -third of
the Dominion, consumes one-third of
the altroholic beverages, her share
a ID 011111.,A to $34,349,709.66. Let us say
$v3,outi,000.
Li other words, Ontario's 'Annual
Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages
represents the cost of -
1st. Rifles, Machine Guns and Field Guns for an army of
690,523 men on active service for a period of 12 months.
2nd. Or Accoutrements, Camp Equipment, Harness and Sad-
dlery, Transport Vehicles, Signalling and Telephone Equipinet ,
Tools and Miscellaneous Requirements for 1,269,231 men at the
front.
3rd. Or one year's Clothing andNecessaries eeessaries for 330,000 men.
4th. Or Rations, Subsistence or Money,'Allowanees• for
226,027 "boys" on active service for one year.
5th. Or the Canadian Government's -Separation 'Allowaltee
for 117,773 dependents for the entire year of 1916.
The foregoing figures are based on the war estimates of the
Department of Militia and Defence for 1916-17, as published ori
December 31st, 1915, in The Toronto Globe.
Eliminate. This Expenditure
The Citizens' Committee of One Hundred
believes that as a war -time measure, if for no
other reason, this colossal expenditure for
alcoholio beverages in Ontario should be elim-
inated. The Committee also has every confi-
dence that the Provincial Government will
move in this important matter as rapidly as
public opinion will support them,
The function of the Citizens' Committee of
One Hundred is to organize, crystalize and give
expression to the present state of public opin-
ion on the question of prohibition. The Com-
mittee believes that it can demonstrate to the
Government that Ontario is overwhelmingly in
favor of, prohibition. The peoplewill shortly
be given the opportunity of signing a petition'
for presentation to the Government.
The Citizens' Committee of One Hundred is
the executive head of•this big new prohibition
movement. It represents the whole Province.
It numbers men of both political ,parties --men
who welcome this chance to work for prohi-
bition now that it has been taken out of poli-
tics—earnest men who are working together
for the common good.
The pnhlic, and this inclndes those living in
DRY municipalities, aro urged to join hands
with the Committee and insure the success of
the rnovemenL Doing so will show that you
appreciate the benefits of prohibition in your
own municipality and add great strength to the
Committee's campaign.
If yon live in a .Local Option municipality
your signature to the petition is just as urgent-
ly wanted as it would be if you were under
license.. Province -wide prohibition would not
only confer a benefit on people living where
Local Option dons not prevail, but would also
help to enforce the law in Local Option munici-
palities.
