The County was well represented, delegates com- ing from Grand Bend, Exeter, Zurich, Hensall, Vaen•a; Brucefield, Bayfield, Goderich, Bemniller, Dungannon, Bel - grave, Winglram, Fordwich, Brussels; Walton, Seaforth, Lond- esboro, Wilburn, Clinton and the sur- rounding district.

Mr. Beecroft read for his seripture Passage, part of the 51st chapter of Isaiah, and offered prayer. En his report, the president It. H. Lloyd, Wingham, stated that it was almost two years since a convention had been held. He said that partly this had been due to war conditions but also they wanted to have some- thing definite about the •Cs T. A. to bring before the people. He felt that the people of Huron ought to con- sider themselves very fortunate to be under the 0 T A. He thought that some time during the afternoon the proper enforcement of the CTA ought to be considered. A. T. Cooper, Clinton, the secre• tary, in his report ,stated that at the last convention it had been decided to do some construetive work in the Sunday Schools. He said t hat a meeting had been called in Goderich for this purpise and that a three- year programme had been drafted. They were trying to have a system whereby the teachers wonld be total abstainers and that temperance would be taught each lesson and that a certain Sunday should be .set aside each month as Temperance Sunday. He referred to the deputation which had waited upon Attorneys General Leslie Blackwell. He said that the CTA is vital and that it was the best available. temepranee law for this province. The Proain- cial Poilce, he said, are behind the Act and that it was their duty to -co-tiperaterairithathe people. He paid a high tribute to the County, press and the ministers of the various churches. Prank Howson, Wingham, spoke briefly concerning finance and said that $500 would be the objective to carry on the work efficiently. The county eves going to be divided into five zones for this purpose. How Communities Affecad Several people spoke of how their communities had been affected since the OTA, came back into force on April 1 of this year. Norval Ander- son, ,Goderich, said they had had the best tourist trade of their history this year in the County Town and without beverage rooms. Dr. Burrows, ISesiorth, stated that the OTA. had loophcrpes which he thought ought to be closed. He said that he knew that the express office in his town was handling more liquor than ever before in its history. Frank Howson, said that, in his opinion, Wingham was one of the best towns, as far as drinking was concerned, in this district. He said that it was very seldom that a drunk man was seen although there was some drinking around dance halls. A. T. Cooper said that he believed that •Olinton was about as clean as was possible, although he latew that there was considerable private drink- ing going on. Rev. C. C. Anderson fitated that he heel occasion on sev- eral evenings to be down town late at night and he had yet to see a drunk man in the town.

CountyHolstein Club Members Banquet Here Members of Huron County Holstein Breeders' Club held their annual banquet Thursday evening last when the basement of Ontario St. United Church, •Glinton, was filled. The af- fair proved a great success from every angle. "If you can't buy a herd, buy a cow; if you can't buy a cow, buy a calf; but start purebred m any case," the chairman, PresidentWilliam Sparks, Bayfield, advised in his open- ing remarks. Mayor A. J. McMurray extended a hearty welcome in behalf of the citizens of Clinton, and wished the chub every success. J. Willis VanEgmond, Clinton honorary president, introduced the guests at the head table. ,Geeetings, were read by the chair- man, and also were spoken by S. J. Monteith, Stratford, president, Perth County Holstein Club; Ralph White, Stratford, Bath County agricultural representative;,_ ,Q1a.een,ce• Sterling, secretary, Kent Ceunty Abletein Club; Hugh Hill, Callow, chairman, Huron County Plowing Match Com- mittee, and past president, Guernsey Breeders' Club. • Allen Betties, Bayfield, gave a re- port on the successful exhibit of the Club at the International Plowing Match.

VanEginond and Leslie Jervis on the sale of their young bull to the British Friesian Society. • Rev., R. A. Brook, liens,all, said that as far as he could ascertain there had been no difference in the amount •of business done in his vil- lage since the beverage rooms went out. He was very strong in his opinion that there would have to be a change, but the question was and Is "how." Rev. W. T. Cleave, Grand Bend, started that there did not seem to be as much drinking but that it was certainly much more open. He men- tioned a case where people went for a Sunday dinner at a hotel in his village and there were people there having beer with their meal. "The Banner County" Royal Moulton, district organizer, Otritaem Federation, said that he thought Huron County was the ban- ner county as far as temperance was concerned, and were certainly lead- ing the way. Ile thought that it would be the ideal condition if the youth of the county could be worked „into this great movement and in fact if this were not done he was afraid that the Cause eventually would die out: He poinrbed out that over 375 millions of dollen was spent in alcoholic beverages last year. , Dr. DeMille 'Speaks Dr. 0. W. DeMille, Toronto, ,secre- tarry, •Ontaeio Temperance Federa- tion, in reply to sorne of the questions already brought 'out, stated that it was not legal to consume liquor in Pablic places ht orrA territory.

Cooper. This block was erected in the year 1888 by the. late William Cooper, a builder and contractor, and was the first building to be built on this property. . The .lots were formerly used by James Twitchell for storing British Columbia shingles for which he was agent, a business carried on by him in addition to his boot' and shoe busi- ness. The block provided room for the expansion of what was then known as Cooper Book Store which had been in operation since 1885 in a store in the Smith Block now oc- cupied by R. H. Johnson. Er addition to the book store there was a law office in the corner, which was occupied by T. J. F. Holland and afterwards as a butcher shop and a jewellery store, the latter being run by Phil Crews. The second floor was rented as a Community •Olub, with an insurance office over the law office. Under the management of A. T. Cooper, the business grew to such an extent that the entire block was neces-sary to supply accommodation for the many lines which had been added. The Martins took over the stock in February, 1946. and have now taken up the option they had on the build- ing, so the entire block is now in their hands. Martins also occupy the second floor over ' Pattison's store. During their nine months in town, they have proved themselves aggres- sive merchandisers.

Mr. Betzner stressed the great necessity for all to support the Fed- eration, and told of the many things that' will be In ought to the attention of P'arliarnent in the very near future, pointing out that agriculture is in a very different position than it was in war time. The speaker said that agriculture never had received its just share of the national income. It was intiniated that if the 40 -hour week was adhered to by the agriculturalists, it would naturally cause an inerease in the cost of foods produced filen the farm. The program of the evening was opened by singing "0 Canada", with Mrs. Bert Irwin at the piano.
