Times -Advocate. Letters To the Editor: Mi Editor:— Judging from the response to my fast' article in your, paper regarding the liquor problem. in Ontario, it will not be ,out of plade to write another. I stated in my last that the confi- dence of my' thousand voters, as well as the knowledge of the backing of thousands of other temperance peo- ple in Huron acts as a challenge to us to advance to the spot, where there is the greatest need. Since the beverage room menace re- mains for another four years, at least, provision must be made to _provide for the casualities,-the ever increasing numbers of unfortunates; already helpless in the toils of the traffics., A place for treatment of these is of immediate and vital. importance. 1. It must be a place where the pa- tient will be really rehabilitated, not merely given a .temporary nauseous experience.- 2. xperience.2. It must be a place where the cost of treatment is' not prohibitive. 3. It must be a place free, from the stigma of the suggestion of an in- stitution for the' insane or mentally weak. We know of no institution in On- tario where there are all these above mentioned requisites present. Now now are we going to get it? Your first thought as *as mine, after the election, may be to ask the Pre- mie • to1 ter egate a bait of the liquoii revenue millions for this- purpose. But second thoughts are often best thoughts and so perhaps in this case. In the first place, is it likely the Pre- mier would entertain our proposition? He might lightly -say, "There are plenty of local physicians to givehim a shot, and that will easily put him off the booze and he'll know better the next time" or he might say, "There are several private institu- tions to go to, and if this fellow has money, enough to spend lavishly for drink, he can easily enough spend 3200.00 a month for treatment; or he might say, "We have already provid- ed and are providing mental hospitals and if people are weak-minded enough to get the habit, they're weak-minded enough to go there. But even if our Premier should en- tertain our idea and meet our request and give us a pittance from the liquor. revenue, would -we not be placing the Liquor Interest in a position so they could say. "Well, we do admit after all that there is a trifling number of weaklings, who have to be considered and we are quite willing to increase our liberal givings from our legal and respectable business to help amelior- ate this unfortunate complication and so would we temperance people not be really in league with the beverage liquor traffic to that extent in the acceptance of their donation. Of course it would not be any worse than what we are doing right now, accepting as a sop a percentage of the liquor license fee 'from the bever- age room to meet our municipal ex- penses, but this would be even 'more of an evident sop if we accepted direct toll from the traffic. The fact is that we are right now, as slavishly under the control of a dictator as are the people of Germany or Italy and that dictator is the Liquor Inteiest of On- tario. Unless the Premier gives us much more of evidenee of his bravery in the meantime we will be going on, just as the liquor traffic anticipates we will, splendidly apathetic, until the next election. In his post-election,speech the other day, Mr. Rowe, as Coroner made some enlightening pronouncements. H e said in explanation for defeat "Ap- parently the drys didn't' trust us and the wets were afraid of us." Mr, Rowe never uttered anything nearer the truth. From his weak parrying plea for another year of beverage rooms what else than distrust could he expect from the drys;, and as for the wets being afraid to vote for him, he explains that in another quo- tation from tale same speech when he says "Apparently for every dollar the Conservatives had to spend on publi- city, the Liberals had 310,00. If Mr. Rowe had have had in his .pre-election mixed concoction more. of a stimulation ingredient for the wets, he might have, had the balance of the 10 to 1 on his side. Mr. Rea° missed his chance. If he had come hut four square on an anti -beverage liq- uor policy, he could have proved that there was at least one party leader who was willing to cut the slimy ten taches of the Liquor Interests. Mr. Hepburn is supposed to he able to handle a good sharp knife. He has plenty of opportunity to use it now, or is the Liquor Oetupus quitesure that he will not. We want Mr. Heir burn's' point of view, and we hope soonto write an article entitled, "Re. port' of an. Interview with Mr. Hep- burn on the Liquor Problem in On- tario." Huron County is no better than any other Ontario County, but the election has taught us that there are marry thousands of voters in the Province Who are looking at the problem with both eyes open and. : there are thous- ands more with, as yet, just one eye' open,; but we see enough and have have learned enough in the actual campaigning to know that the Liquor traffic has a etrranele hold on this province, and with its weapon of mil- lions is prostituting all moral and hu- man interests and even Democracy it- self; Are we- discouraged? In places, yes, but not generally so. We have thous- ands of 'recruits in the temperance Cause. Besides the Ministers, and W. ,C.T.U. Workers and:, Federation,,, all of whom havegiven muchpersonal service in the• past, we now have work ing with us Women's Institutes, Young People's Clubs, the Press to a great extent and in fact the Intel- ligentsia of the Province. We have, a Premier who has a well-earned re- putation for courage and 'a goodly number of temperance candidates el- ected to Parliament and a Traffic, liv- ing well up to its reputation as a menace' to life and morals. So why be anything but optomistic as to the final outcome? Intelligent citizens; wil not long stay put, hibernating for. four year periods' between elections. Even the sea tides can be control- led. I thank you, Mr. Editor, for your liberal space. —ALEXANDER MOIR. Clinton News -Record, Clinton, Ont. Thanks to the big hearted people of Old Ontario, not forgetting all the other provinces, as they all have help- ed to make thousands of families hap- py in the dried -out area, of Sas'katehe- wan. Many hundreds of carloads have arrived in the West from Ea:.t- ern points filled with good Ontario apples, potatoes, beets, turnips, car: rots, canned fruit, honey, and most everything you could mention. Peo- ple who have planted hundreds of ac- res of . grain and large' gardens, ex- peeting rain to eome so that they could have their graineries full and plenty of vegetables, were disappointed. The ram did not come. The seed layin the soil, and in many places did not even germinate. In other places the wind blowed'the grain out after it did start to grow, leaving the fields; a barren desert. ,These are tlie people ,wha appre• crate the efforts of the people who are so willing to give their surplus and labor. The people of Morse and district received two, carloads. One was barrelled apples, donated by the the Government and good quality of winter fruit. The other car was DI - with all kinds of good things to eat, and carne front the town of Sault Ste. Marie, on the Canadian- side. When we unloaded the cars into our town hall for distribution, the chil- dren gathered around' the cars by the score to get apples and carrots to fill up the inner man. It would do our eastern friends good to see this sight, and they would think that af- ter all their effort was for a good cause. The Western friends cannot thank the donors to much for all the good things they havesent out to the dried out area, in Saskatchewan. Our method of distribution was as follows. Willing hands unloaded the produce into a large 'hall, where the different vegetables were placed in separate piles and a scale was used to weigh out the number of pounds allotted to each family, according to the number of children. The last re- port we had through the press, close to 700 cars had been received in Sas- katchewan for the dried -out area for which we must thank our good people so much. Words cannot express our thankfulness in time of need. —E. G. EAGLESON, Morse, Sask. (Formerly of Bayfield, Ont). STANLEY Mrs. John McGowan and son John, visited their aunt, Mrs. Mary i4Ic.fay of Hamilton for a few days last week. Mr.- and Mrs. , Victor Taylor, and Morley, Leola and Arnold, also Jack Taylor, visited at the home of the for- men's mother,Mrs. John Taylor of Forest, over the week -end. . Mrs• Thos.

Stewart read a letter from Mrs. Slotted thank- ing the ladies for their last shipment. Mrs. Graham handed opt sewing to be made and returned at the next meet- ing. A number of. gifts were ,brought in for the Christmas bale, including a lovely quilt donated by Mrs. Baird and a quilt tope by Mrs. Alex. McEw- en.

LANE On Thursday morning two splendid Photographs of the late William Lane, loaner resident of Goderieh, who was County Cleric and Treasurer -for many years before retiring and moving to Detroit where he died this year, were received at the Court House. The photos, showing Me. Lane in an easy chair in his Detroit home, now hang in the offices of Clerk J. 3d. Roberts and Treasurer A. H. Erskine. They were sent, here by Dr. Chas. Lane, of Detroit, son of the late Mr. Lane. Last year the County Council deter- mined to obtain a large picture of Mr. Lane to hang in the Court House. it is expected the desired picture will arrive from 'Detroit, in a few days. Goderieh Star. DEANERY .01E HURON (Continued from page 1) . veeled Liiat cities were built on top of the ruins of the former cities. The houses were built of sun dried brick, like the houses described in the text, and when great rains - came, they crumbled u led into ruins. The peoplere- built their homes on the same snot. Corporations. and nations also built on a'afoundation. That foundation i most important, Countries and crowns were lost after the\ world war, be- cause they had not been founded, on firm principles. : The British Empire, on the other hand, emerged from the conflict, stronger than before. Queen Victoria on being questioned regard- ing the strength of her 'Empire by a visiting African Chieftain, showed him the Bible and said to him, that; that was the secret of their strength. The Women's Auxiliary, this year have as their Study Book, "Consider Africa." Africa is a large continent, teeming with millions of people. These people have become civilized in one sense, but it is an industrial civ- ilization. They have trunk railways, airplanes, cement highways, the dia, mond 'mines of Kimberley, and the gold fields of Kenya have drawn the youth of Africa. This industrial life has had a, 'tremendous effect on the African people. Before the coming of the white mane these primitive people had certain unitiesThey elle had a belief in God, although they did not worship Him. Their worship of spirits had a ten deny to make their lives gloomy and uneasy. They had a loyalty to their own tribe. After working, for several years in one of the great industrial centres, the young people return to their na- tive homes with money but with no religion. If they had any faith, it is gone, their lives were crumbling in- to ruins, as did the houses built on the sands. It is the duty of those who help spread the industrial , civilization to see that these young people are led to the Christian faith, in order that they will have firm lrrinciples where- by to direct their lives. The Church has no Canadian mis- sionaries in Africa. The Church in England has sent many missionaries, who are working among these'people. There is a Huron College there, which is trying to train young men to go among their fellow men to tell them that God laves ihear and 'wants them to rebuild their homes on Christian principles. There are. destrcctive forces at work in the British EmpFire. Com- munism, radical socialism, nazism. If we want our nation, our empire to stand, we must standby the princip- les of Christian teaching. We should see that religion is one of the stand- ard subjects of the school curriculum, in order that children will not grow away from it, As long as Christianity is our foun- dation we shall stand like the house on the rock. At the close of the service, the members of the Women's Auxiliary met in Trinity Church. The Chapter and laymen met in I{pox Presbyter. - ion Church. Mrs. Calder of Godo - rich, president, was.in the chair. Mrs. Graham, of Brussels, secretary, read the minutes of the May meeting. Re- presentatives were present from Bay- field, Brussels, Clinton, Goderieh, Hensall, Middleton, Seaforth, Varna, Walton and Wingham. It was decided that Dorcas Secre- tary for the deanery would facilitate matters in regards to the bale. Mrs. C. McKinnon of Clinton, was chosen. unanimously. Mrs. Calder spoke a few words re- garding the coining departure of Nirs. Appleyard from `Seaforth, saying hewv Mrs. Appleyard will be missed, as she was always ready with advice and as- sistance. Mrs. Paull of Windsor, formerly of Bayfield, was called upon to speak for a few minutes. There are certain things that we must always keep in. mind," said Mrs. Paull, .."'We must form new Branches of the W. A, wherever needed. It is important to have everyone working enthusiastical- ly in the interests of Missionary en- deavours. The formation of a branch of the W. A. in the mission fields means that the Gospel is spreading, but these people still need our assistance. Until we have branches every possible place our work is not completed: Our work does not go forward in mass movements, but just a little bit at atime. Mrs. Paul also spoke_ of the W. A. library in London, which has a splendid list of books, which would be of great assistance to those planning the study portion of the meetings. . The afternoon session was opened by prayer by Rev. K. McGoun of Clin- ton. Archdeacon Doherty of London spoke of the work disct?ssed at the General Synod held in Halifax the first week in ,September. Archdeacon. Doherty spoke of the many notables present, the clergy in the drought area, the pension fund, the changes in the Prayer Book. These changes will not affect the -prin- ciples already there, or•.the.doctrines of the Communion office. The subject of 'Communism was also discussed. Some people are in favour of teaching, religion in the schools to attack this destructive force. Improvement, in worldly conditions will cause com- munism to evaporate. Mas. F. H. Paull of Windsor; who attended the. General Synod in Hali- fax, also;spoke of the W. A. work. The work among the Indians has resulted in their improving physically, morally and spiritually. Tbey are taught tc read, study and love the Bible and to live the principles that are given in Ike Bible. Bishop Lindel Tsen of Ho- nan, China, brought greeting's from his wife and other Chinese.w'oinen. In summing up her reportof the meet- ing, Mrs. Paull said she was Mimes - sed bythehospitaity, Maritime ospxly, the need of witnessing for Christ, often expressed in simple kindliness, The oneness of the people, in spite of newspaper articles dividing the coirn- try,into factions. Mrs. Paull said she was impressed by the pride and con- fidence shown in the leaders of the Church at-home and abroad. "There is a God, a power behind the Church in Canada. We have good leaders. Let us be good followers." Rev. John Graham of Brussels spoke on Sunday School matters. In his opinion, the Sunday Schools bre not being attended 'as regularly as they should be. "Let us keep in mind the conditions. Let Teeters make a study of their Sunday' Schools, and to try by various ways to increase the attendance "A new day will dawn for the Sunday Schools in the Deanery." Major A. Firth, of Clinton, spoke on the subject of "The Sunday School by Post." Maojr Firth has offered to assist Mr, Irwvin of Owen Sound in this worthy work. Ninety-eight children in the deanery have been contacted and thirty are correspond- ing. ing. The literature tore is sent to the parents. He has had letters from parents, telling of their appreciation for this contact with the Church. The Sunday School by Post enables chil- dren in the rural districts to study. the same work as the children in Ur- ban centres, BRUCEFIEL Thirteen sacks of good second-hand clothing and quilts were packed and will be sent to Regina to be distribut. ed among the needy- in the dried -cut area.
