It is not sur- • prising, of course, that The Cobourg 'W'orld is one "Lapp" ahead of the • other weeklies: CI CI Cl The latter part of August has been ".more like the latter part of Septem- ber but we are hoping that Septem- 'ber won't steal October weather, 'October, November, and so on. That •sort of thing might be all right in the spring, hut not so pleasant in the . aautumn; • CI It is to be hoped we ase not going back to the ice age but -we certainly ° have had cool weather the past week. Maples are beginning to turn, some • of them being as blown as they often are at this time in September, Se- vere frosts, have been experienced in •'the west and even in Huron County we have had slight frosts. Those • still at summer resorts are experienc- ing chilly times. QQQ Premier Mussolini of Italy has started a campaign to oust all bach- elors from high public posts. We need not look for any such action in Canada with Hon. R. B. Bennett, is Prime Minister, and Hon. W. L. Mc- Kenzie King, leader .of the Oppasi- - tion, both bachelors. gingham Advance -Times.. Otherwise The Advance -Times man and the Goderich Signal man would be obliged to get out and do some- ; thing about it. Q Q Lake captains are complaining that the lake levels are so much low- „ er this season that it is difficult to find safe passage on routes whirh previously' were quite safe. This would no doubt account for the mis- ' hap to the Midland City last Sunday .afternoon. It is claimed that prat -•tically new charts are being prepared on all the great lakes, the captains • :marking the new rocks or shoals en- • uountered. Certainly the lowering of the levels among the islands of the Georgian Bay are very noticeable to one who has not visited them for a ' few years. Q Qa The Midland City, a gallant little lake boat which took us up among the thirty* thousand islands of the • Georgian Bay a few weeks ago and brought us safely back on Friday last, ran on a sock a short distance • from Midland on Sunday afternoon • last and stove a hole in her bottom and had to be beached on a sandbar and the passengers taken ashore. We cannot but feel regret as we think of the little vessel sitting for- lorn on that lonely sandbar, after ' having spent the summer months car- rying happy vacationists to and from the several points among those same • thirty thousand,islands; after mak- • iiig hearts happy by delivering mail at the several stopping _places; after looking to their material wants by carrying in supplies of meat, milk, bread, etc., not to mention the sup- plies of ice cream cones, which were eagerly sought by youthful vacation- ists on the daily visits of the boat. It must feel very lonely, especially ' if it is near enough to see the daily trips of the smaller crafts which have been put on to finish the sea- son. We trust they'll get the Mid- land City off that sandbar and get her in shipshape for next'eeason, A Midland supply boat upon which a number of eottagers on the Islands • depended for supplies, was burned a few days previously, so it looks as • if it might be time for all holiday- ers to return to their several duties .again. Por years the Toronto Globe took its place at the head of those in fav- or of curbing the traffic in strong drink and did, not stop at flaying any and everyone who did not see eye to eye with it on this question. That. was in the. days when the Liberal Party had a strong temperance plank in its platform, The Globe has not bothered at all about the question •.:since that plank was discarded and this fact has been noted by many. In. the current issue of the Norfolk Ob- server, whose editor does not by any means favor the opposition in the province, has this to say: "For the first time since the. election on June 19th, the Globe., ardent prohibition and temper- ance advocate, has come forward to denounce the new beer -and - wine, legislation as deplorable and iniquitous. In a leading eni- torial on Friday last, it cites the tremensous increase in drinking and dbunkeness apparent in Tor- onto, a fact to which any visitor to that city can readily testify. It is true that the Henry Govern-, ment introduced the bill, but like wise true that"the Hepburn forces • adopted it as their child in the. hope of ensuring victory at the election, It is not on record that the Globe raised a single objec- tion at that time, The Globe was credited with being a primefactor in the Liberal triumph, which ac- cording to Mr. Odeitei, new chair- man of the Liquor Commission, constituted a mandate to enact the legislation. There isnot the slightest doubt that the Liberals would have won even if opposing the beer -and -wine ' I egislation, But they incorporated it in their platform and they and the Globe must abide by the result, which is a growing wave or resentment throughout the province." People niay have sincere convic- tions one way or another about such a question as the control of the liquor traffic, and we ought to respect such convictions on the part of others' eve. en when we cannot agree with them, but it is a dangereus..thing to take up the advocacy of any stitch moral ques- tion uestion' in order to make political capital of it. A look over • thefiles of The Globe in past years would find some very eloquent and empassioned artic- les favoring the further curbing of the traffic and denouncing all who disagreed with it, and the Globe was quoted by every temperance public speaker. But times have changed and it -is not so much of a prop to those who have been and are still fighting against the insidious growth of the traffic., The IGlobe may have changed its mind onthe question, we have no means of knowing as to that, but cer- tainly it is not doing much to assist in the fight against intemperance and the inslaught of the traffic, nor has it for some years. • BOARD REFUSES TO REDUCE ESTIMATES Last minute efforts to heal the breach between the. Collegiate In- stitute Board and Town Council of the town of Goderich, over the matter of teachers' salaries, put forth Saturday at a special meeting of the Collegiate Board failed to bring- about ringabout a settlement. The Board, after listening to May- or C. C ,Lee and Reeve Munnings, who pressed that it accept a five per cent, salary reduction for teachers by resolution reaffirmed its decision to "stand pat," refusing to be dictated to by the municipal council. At the outset, the Board, by mo- tion, confirmed the action of its their - man, W. J. Fraser, on whose affidavit a supreme court motion had been launched asking a mandamus to com- pel the town to accept the Collegiate Institute estimates and pay over $5,000 to meet overdue salaries and trade debts outstanding, four months. Saturday the town filed its defence and the motion was set down for argu- ment at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, Aug. 29. Town Solicitor D. R. Nairn and Frank Donnelly are the respective counsel, 4 'is TORONTO, . Aug. 29.--Disagree- melt between Goderich town council and the collegiate school board over. the school estimate was reviewed be- fore Justice J. C. Makins at Osgoode Hall today. Frank Donnelly applied on behalf of the school board Inc a mandamus, requiring the council to approve the $13,282 estimates submitted by the school board last March, and to pay the sum over. His Lordship 'resent- ed judgmnent. ;Mr. Donnelly said the disagree- ment started when the board reduced teachers' salaries 2% per cent and re- fused to eut thein further at the •council's request. "The board is $6,600 in debt,"' Mn Donnelly said. "Teachers' salaries for Ma.y and June have not been paid." D. R. Nairn, for the town, argued that the board's estimate had been questioned on the ground that a surs phis or 84,200 had not been included. "Their estimate," he added, "would further include money to be spent in 1936, and this is not in accordance with the statute," PLEASANT FAMILY RE- UNION HELD IN MOR RIS' TOWNSIIIP Sunday, August 26th, a very pleas- ant afternoon and evening' was spent at the home of Idirs.

As GAS WAR BENEFITTED EXETER RESIDENTS LAST WEEK -END' There was such a merry gasoline ivar on here at the week -end that prices not only dropped from 20 cents per gallon but went down to nothing and thendealers commenced giving away bonuses with amounts of fuel carried off without pay. Just what started the war and what it was all about nobody seems to know definitely, But one dealer cut his price from 20 cents to 18 cents: per gallon and. the motor public be- came -interested.. 1 Then the cuts came rapidly and the public became 'almost dazed, keeping up with. the situation, Cents per gallon were lopped off, until the price was. down to four• cents, then three cents a gallon. That seemed to be about the limit, but not quite. A dealer announced that whops ever wanted gasoline could 'have it for nothing, and at that 'price folk loaded up theirs cars. Not to be out- done another: dealer came to the free gasoline level and placed in a supply of cigars,; every "b'uyer" of free fuel being given a smoke to cheer him a- long the way. Then another came in- to line with the free gasoline phis a pint of motor oil. The war came to that ',stage, without further induce ments' being_ offered.
