STILL SOME FIRE FIGHTER,
A Few weeks ago Mr. Robert
Coates of London, while visiting rela-
tives, it Seaforth, took Messrs. Rufus
Winters, George Sills and James
Mullen for a fishing trip to the Mait-
land 'hear Wingham, While speed-
ing along one of the lines in East
Wawanosh, they saw 'a barn on fire
oil the farm of Air, Elisha ,Welker,
'1'he fire had made such headway that
.all efforts were turned to saving the
house towards which the wind was
blowidg, Mr. Sills, an old chief of
tlic Seaforth fire brigade, and was
like a war horse that scents battle,
Nothing could .hold him 'back. He
was soon up in the garret of the
house putting out sparks that were
drfrting through under the shingles,
until he got some one: there. He was
next on the roof assisting in the
work. So much was his work ap-
preciated that Mr. Wacker, through
the columns of the Wingham Ad-
vance, after expressing his thanks to
his neighbors, said he also wished to
thank the tourists, among whom one
elderly gentleman was seen on the
rsof with the sparks anti cinders
falling on his grey hairs,

GOVERNMENT,' CONTROL IN
BRITISH COLUMBIA
In British Columbia, where liquor
i$ sold only to persons holding per-
mits, facts 'show that•these permits
do not really restrict the sale. On
the back of a permit, held by a wo-
man, endorsements show the amount
of liquor obtained in one week, on
this particular permit, to be:—
August
9. , ....5 doz. beer, 2 bottles rum
10......5 doz. beer, 2 bottles Scotch
II 5 doz, beer, 2 bottles runt
12...,..5 doz. beer, 2 bottles Scotch
13 5 doz. beer, 2 bottles rum
155 doz. beer, 2 bottles rum
16 - 5 doz. beer, 1 bottle Scotch
On this one permit in 68 days
this woman was furnished for her
own use with: -
13 .,bottles of Scotch Whiskey,
70 bottles Runt,
1,960 bottles Beer.
A man was furnished with 169
barrels of beer in one month for his
own personal use.
ff. H. Stevens, - M- .- P., in a public
address in Vancouver, made the
statement fodlowfng:—
"\Teves• in the history '-of the
country u'as bootlegging compar-
able in magnitude and murderous re-
sults to what it is to -day,
Deplorable Social Conditions,
The relation between drink and
immorality is well known. In Van-
couver in 1918 (Prohibition) 188 men
and women were taken out of howdy
houses and either imprisoned or
fined. In 1022 (Moderation) 746
then and women were so treated,
and in 1923, 814.
Andrew Blyth, J.P., said:
"Vancouver today is more wide
open than ever before, and any
night may he .een cabarets in
which no liquor is said to besold.
but in which fifty per cent. of the
people- show signs of intoxication.
Dance halls are a public scandal,
with young girls slipping from the
dance hall to the hack alley to take
a drink from the hip flasks of
escorts."
Major R. V. Bartle. M.L.A., speak-
ing in the Legislature. charged that
the present Moderation Act had beet
responsible for drinking amongst
the youth of British Columbia.
"I can take von," he said, "to a
dance hall in Vancouver where any
night you can find 300 young
people. and -among them boys of
16 and 17, who do not consider
themselves as having 'class' i n -
t
less they can produce a Mickey
'
P
front their hip."
The "good liquor" promised by the
Mfoderationists has evidently failed
to materialize for Major Burde said
in the House: ---
"The brewers of British Col n
-
bla are poisoningPaoP
to

been drinking then beer myself
n ne]:f
and it pint me in the hospital. I' had
their beer analyzed and I found T
had 'been drinking ether, arsenic,
and rosin, in my beer. This arsenic
had accuatiulated in my system:
and nearly killed :me,"
"Prominent medical men will
bear me out when T say that there
.are hundreds and hundreds of cases
of acute kidney disease in this
province due to the poison that
,brewers are selling.",
Dr, Ernest Hall, Pollee Commis-
sioner of Vancouver, recently said:
"The Government has set out
upon a policy of alcohalizing our
people for profit; 'a policy of -satur-
ation, rather than of'control,. The
encouragement of •liquor drinking
means the lowering of stamina,.the
pauperizing of the public and .the
encouragement Df lawlessness and
crime, but never in the history of
British Columbia has liquor been
so extensively advertised as it has
been inthe last three years ander
Government control, never has
therebeen ee n •such a persistent ' at-
tempt to debauch the public, to
entice people to drink, to' create an
,appetite for. alcohol."

trol Act, for the past eight months,
ending June 4th. 1924."
Illicit Stills. The Liquor Control
Act is not moderating the operation
of illicit stills. Cases of this kind
are frequently before the \Vitiuipeg
Courts, A notable instance was a
rani on December 14th, when Rev-
enue Officers found in a private
house in Winnipeg what was des-
cribed as the most. complete plant
of its kind ever found in Manitoba,
viz,, four stills, each with a fifty gal-
lon capacity. Iii the country the
situation is also bad, ,places as far
removed as _Steinbach in the south-
east, and Boulton in the north-west,
report convictions for operation of
illicit stills. The camniunities between
these points are by no means free
from the trouble.
Bootlegging. The Liquor Cofttrol
Act is not moderating the business
•of the bootlegger. The Winnipeg
Press of Feb. 7th, 1024, stated that
certain hotels in Winnipeg are right
into the liquor business. not only sell-
ing beer, but in' many cases. whiskey.
As recently as .1pril , 29th. 'eight
hotels and four restaurants were
fined for breaches of the Act. On
May 9th, seven hotels and one res-
taurant were convicted. The police
admit that liquor is being sold in
hundreds of suites and homes, and
they are powerless to do anything.
Drunkenness. The Liquor Con-
trol Act is not moderating -drunken-
ness. At a District Meeting in the
north-
west corner ofh
t e Province
ov nee
in May, fourteen circuits reported on
this phase of the question; not a
single field admitted any improve-
ment: two reported no change, while
twelve stated. there
had been an
in-
crease ease f drinking and drunkenness.t as.
Otic representative
stated that his
