DAIRY CHANGE TAKES
PLACE OCT, IST
On Saturday morning, October ast,
Mr. W. C. Barber will take over the
Pasteurizing and distributing of milk
for Seaforth. The new business will
be called The Maple Leaf Dairy.
The west side of the Seaforth
Creamery building has been com-
pletely remodelled to accommodate
the dairy plant. It is divided into
three long rooms which run north
and south in rhe building; these are
the pasteurizing, receiving and wash-
ing compartments. The walls are
all painted in white enamel with
black baseboard. Mr. Barber expects
to have things pretty well in shape
by the end of this week.
The personnel of the new dairy
will be W. C. Barber and Charles
Pinder, in the plant, and Messrs.
Jason Ellis and H. Wilbee, drivers,
The truck will serve Egmondville
and also keep the two wagons in
Seaforth supplied with milk.
Pasteurizing will be done in a most
modern type stainless steel hot water
pasteurizer of 1150 gallons' capacity.
Because it avoids burning, hot water
is now used instead of steam. After
being pasteurized the milk passes
into the brine cooling system where
it is kept for thirty minutes at a
lower temperature than would be
.possitale with cold water cooling. A
new refrigerator is being installed
this week.
Milk will be supplied to Mr. Bar-
ber by the three present dairies. Del-
iveries will start about 7 a.m. The
neW dairy will introduce "coffee
cream" which will be 25 per cent
cream.

Some BrieF Notes
on the Canada
Temperance Act
This series of articles, which will anneal'
in your paper from week to week, are :mon-
ocled by the Temperance Federation and
W. C. T. U. of Huron County. Their purpose
is to give a brief histoty of the origin,
scope and possibility of enforcement of the
Canada Temperance Act from the time of
its inception up to the Present.
No. 1—THE ORIGIN OF THE
ACT
The Canada Temperance Act, over
which much controversy has of late
years arisen, was formerly popularly
known by the name The Scott Act.
It is a Dominion .statute, originally
enacted in 1187.8, This was about ten
years after Confederation.
Under the old ;regime of Upper and
Lower Canada, Ontario and Quebec
had a local option measure known as
the Dunkin Art applicable to villages,
towns, townships, etc, The Maritimes,
where temperance sentiment was pro-
notinced, were anxious for a like priv-
ilege and it was thought desirable to
have a uniform law. The Canada
Temperance Act was the outcome of
these circumstances.
The Canada Temperance Act had
wide vogue in 'Nova Scotia .and Nev.
Brunswick and for some time in On-
tario and parts of Quebec. Its advan-
tages are that it is a county measure
(being applicable to counties or cit-
ies) and that it is ibrought in or re-
moved on a simple majority vote of
the electors concerned, While forbid-
ding retail sale of liquor within a
ebunty, it .perrnits a brewery or dis-
tillery located with the area to sell in
wholesale lots to .purchasers resident
beyond its bounds. It also permits
private individuals to bring in liquor
front outside for personal use under
certain conditions.
Difficulties over responsibility for
enforcement as between the provinc-
ial and Dominion authorities, ,de„stroy-
ed the early Pfeatige of the Act; but
in 1887 tinder Sir Oliver Mowat an
act 056 passed by the ;Ontario Legis-
lature enjoining all his officers and
commissioners to enforce with like
vigilance the Canada Temperan ce Act
and the Liquor License law of the
province. From that time until Mr.
iHepbern's regime it was considered
the duty ,of all officers to enforce
both laws. The adoption of tbis atti-
tude came too late to revive at that
thne the lost prestige of the Canada
Temperance Act. Its use was discon-
tinued in Ontario and was, succeeded
in a short time by municipal local
Option.
