WILL BE IN FORCE IN HURON COUNTY Will Apply to Peel and Perth Also Pending C.T.A. Test Premier Mitchell Hepburn an• uounced last week that pending a de- cision of the privy council of England on Ontario's postponed appeal to test the validity of the Canada Tem- perance .Act, the Liquor Control Act of the province will be enforced in Peel, Perth and Huron counties and on Manitoulin Island• The hearing, set for June, was adjourned on re- quest of the lords of the privy come ail, along with the second appeal which concerns the Supreme Court of Canada Act. The lords said proceed- ings should be stayed until after the war and the province concurred. In connection with the temperance dispute, the counties readopted the C.T.A. in 1914 and 1915 and the Su- preme Court of Canada ruled in 1935 that the L.C.A. is less restrictive than the C.T.A. and that the C.T.A, is in force in these counties. Manitoulin Island also is technically under pro- visions of the federal statute. Mr. Hepburn's statement was in af- firmation of previous statements out- lining utlining the provincial government's at- titude and dating back, particularly to the 1939 session of the legislature when the premier told members that "this government does not propose to enforce the C. T. A. anywhere in the province." Last June the government asked the Ontario appeal court to decide validity of the C.T.A. in On- tario. The court ruled, with one jute tice dissenting, that the C.T.A. was valid. It is maintained by the Ontario government that the L.C.A. is super- ior uperfor to the C.T.A. and therefore should take effect in Ontario, WILL MOVE TO CLINTON Mr. C. H. Holland has sold his residence in Harpurhey to Mr. Thos. W. Carter of near Auburn. Mr. and Mrs. Carter will move here at the end of this month when Mr. and Mrs. Holland move to Clinton to reside with their daughter. Mr. and, Mrs. Holland have resided here for almost twenty years.
