M'EDiD, M.L.A., S'PEAK'S WITHOUT AUTHIORDTY OIF 'PROHIIBITIONIISTS, SAY'S A WELL-KN1OWN WORKER.—. ,r C. A. ROBERTSON; EXPRESSES SURPRISE. The statement of Mr. W. G. Medd, of Exeter, M.L.A. for South Huron, anade at Delaware last week, as re- ported in the 'daily press, that he is not advocating .the return to any leg- islation similar to the Ontario Temp- erance Act, was referred by The Sea- forth News to Mr. A. T. Cooper of !Clinton prominent prohibitionist ,of Huron County. Mr. Cooper said that Mr._Medd had no authority from' the prohibition forces of the county for his statement, and that Me. Medd was speaking for 'himself alone and his attitude posi- tively does ar:t represent the pro'htbi- bon people's viewpoint in this county. "Mr. Medd has always been a good friend of prohibition, and I would not like to go up against him without knowing' more .about it," said Mr. 'Cooper. Speaking for himself, however, Mr. Cooper said the people had defeated the O.T.A. which was the best meas- ure from any standpoint, if it had been given a fair chance, and that under the present law conditions are grad- ually getting worse in every quarter and it would be a short time till the people will demand a change in the present law. "As' far as this county is concern- ed;" Mr. Cooper said, "things are very loose, and I do not believe the offi- cers are making a serious attempt to enforce the Liquor Control Act." When asked wh'a't would be the at- titude of the prohibition workers to- wards Mr. Medd, in the event of his facing the electorate as a supporter of the Liquor Control Alc't, Mr. Cooper said that world be a matter ,for a con- vention to de'cide. However, as no meeting h!as been held kr two years, Mr. Cooper ,pointed out that the anent - bet. had received no sanction' from the temperance people for any change of his attitude at the present time. Mr. Robertson Stands by the O.T.A. Unequivocally standing by the o:T,A., if that should be an issue, Mr C A. Robertson of Colborne to'wn- shi:p, M.L.A..for North Huron, de- clared to The News that he is prepar- ed to light out the next campaign on exactly the sante platform as the last election. Mr. Robertson expressed the 'belief that the Conservatives would Dike to have prohibition an issue again; it was hard to tell yet _what the issues will be but he was incl'i'ned to think that prohibition would not be the most important, 'but rather the debt of the country, • etc. ,Mr. Robertson expressed surprise at Mr. Medd's s'tatement and said he thought possibly Mr. Meld's attitude was, because of slight chance of re- pealing the Liquor Contro'l Act at present, he would like stricter en- forcement while it remains on the statute books. This might not mean that Mr. Medd does not believe the O.T.A. is the better law, explained Mr. Robertson. HURON ,OLD BOYS AT HOIVIE TO BE BROADICAST. Huronites , will be able -to listen in at the annual At Home of the Huron Old Boys' Association of Toronto, .to be held on Friday, January 29th.

ANNUAL MEETING. `The annual congregational' meeting of North Side United ,Church was held on Monday evening in the 'Sun- day School room, the members and adherents being present in large numbers. ,The reports of the officers of the variousorganizations s'howe'd thlat another very su,cce'ssfuI year's work had' been carried on. The Treasurer for the local funds reported that contributions had been well su's- ta'ined through a difficult year, that all accounts' were paid and that the sum of $296' remained with whi1ch to begin .another year. 80 was - gr'ati'fy- ing also to find that $2,500 was the contribution to the Missionary and Matntenan'ce Fund., The Women's 1Mis'si'on'ary organizations remitted 51,- 061 to the Presbyterial 'Treasurer.. The Sunday Stchoo'1 is in a healthy, growing .conldltioit, and raised f' or the year $3618. Separate classrooms were built into the large Sun!d'ay School during the summer. Alli other organ- izations made very en'crouruging re- ar •, re- ports. The total amount raised for all, purposes was over $8}800. Messrs. srm. Haattry, W. D. Hoag, Dr. Burrows and R. Scarlett were re- elected to the session, and Messrs: John Finl'aylson, J. R. Scott, T. J. McMichael and P. Moffatt were elect- ed to the Beard of Steward's. A letter of appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. Lave and Miss Helen Lane was read and adopted and a cordial /M invitation was ,extended to the minis- is ter to remain, as pastor. a After the business period an hour o of social intercourse was enjoyed, dtir to ing which the Ladies' Aid served ' a et delicious lunch, „ \ th Mr. Medd at Delaware. The report of Mr, Medd's ,statement is given as follows in The Lo'nd'on Free' Press: !Progressives of Ontario, as a polit- ical party, have abandoned for the time being their advocacyof prohibi- tion and; re-enactment of legislation similar to the Ontario Temperance Act and now stand for sterner ,en- force'menct of the present laws 'and the placing of a limit on the amount 'of liquor supplied to individual permit. holders. This was the gist of the message at Delaware oil January 20'th to the annual meeting of the West. M'id'dle- sex Farmer's Progressive Associa- tion, j front W. G. Medd, Progressive MLA. for South Hurons' The state' ment came whi'le Mr. Medd was ex- plaining that the understanding reached 'between the Liberals and Progressives did not involve sacrifice of any of the latter's principles. "Conditions are very bad," said Mr. edd,'referring to the present adrm!in- tration of the L,IC,IA. London needs bigger and better jail as the result f liquor act • infractions, and peini- ntiarie>is have 'More inmates than ev- before, Booitleggitig, he charged, rives in Huron' and other counties Not Favoring O.T.A. "We want .to tighten up the ad-" ministration of the liquor act," de- clared Mr, Medd, "I am not advoc- ating the. return ':to any legislation similar to bhe Ontario Tenperar ce, Act at the present tine. My person- al attitude is that no person under 2i5 should have • a permit, stores should he reduced in number and the amount of individual store sages m'ad'e pub- lic; there should be a limit on the amount one person can buy and a campaign of temperance education should be instituted in , all public s'ch'ools." y. Says Independend) gts Needed Mr. Medd, in his speech, said that. he believed more independent ntein- bers were needed in the Legislature acrd he hoped that there would be n10. ifurther three -cornered contest. The ideals and principles of the IJ.IF.O. were not dead, he contended, and would be revived the next time the people have a chance to vote. SO far. as the Progress'ive-(Liberal alliance 'announced by M. F. Hepburn, M.P., and Hon. Harry Nixon, M;L.IA., was concerned, he said that he favored it 'and felt that there would be no sac- rifice of Progressive principles and no s!waliowing up of the Progres'siv'e party. Such an understanding, he be- lieved, would bring West Middlesex back to the Progressive column. LI'ON'S CLUB MEETING The Lions Club entertained a num- ber of guests at their meeting on Monday night at the Commercial Ho- tel, When ten members from the God- erich Club were present as well as nineteen others visitors ;Bcliiding members of the medical profession from Mitchell, Dublin, Clinton, God- erli'ch and Hensall.

Dr. Shaw, of 'Clinton, spoke on be- half of the medical men their apprec- iation of the invitation. He pointed out that the doctors were the instru- ments in aiding the crippled children, but an organization like the 'Lions Club was necessary to carry it on.

Dingman makes reference to a former Seaforih, resid- ent, Mr. W. H. Trethewey, now living at Owen Sound, and well known to the readers of The Seaforth News, who enjoyed his contributions to this paper for many years: "I w'is'h my memory were better, ,but perhaps George 'Maitland May re- member 'about e-niem'ber'about perhaps rhe best thing ever said at the City Council table. illany present Stratford citizens prob- ably do not know about Romeo Creek which was a standard subject of pub- lic discussion in the old days. It came up somehow when the then Alderman W. H. Trebhewey rose .and in his classic manner delivered himself of observations that I cannot set down but faintly. He got off something about this pudldl'ing strea'mu, whose vileness led' to its being covered in. later, "rearing its head proudly to the breeze" or something a hundred times funnier. As Mr. Trethe'wey is retired, and I hope is still in good' .he'alt'h, I hope you may be able to get him to relminisce about this incident, which was worthy to be en'sh'rined in a book of clever sayings." 'Mrs. 'Soiell, -convenor of the social department of the Y. P. L, of North (Side United Church had charge of t1 re ineeting. After singing hymn, 109 Miss Laura Mole read the Scripture lesson. Miss Fennell a'ga'in entertain- ed us with her interesting continued' story, "Good Companions." A duet, "When Ytt Gang Awa' Jamie 2" by Jack Cheros and Hughie Oke acc'om ,p'a'nied on the piano by Mrs. Shell was greatly enjoyed by all, The evening was spent in playing games and after a soc'i'al half hour. the meeting was b'rough't to a cl'o'se., PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD..
