SOCIAL SERVICE
The following resolutions were
passed by the social service conven-
tion held in Exeter last week:
DIED LAST WEEK.
The death occurred at his home in
Seaforth, of William Scott, son of the
late Robert Scott, of McKillop. Fif-
teen years ago he left his farm in Mc-
Killop, now owned by his son, A. W
Scott, and lived in Seaforth until

year in London and returned to town,
purchasing Mr. Ferguson's house on
Goderich -street. He' was in poor
health for some time, but was around
town on Tuesday. Upon reaching
home he complained of not feel-
ing well and medical aid was called,
bttt he passed away on Wednesday
afternoon after severe suffering.
Lord's Day Alliance Acts are being
violated, by merchants, garage's, and
other places of business in our coun-
ty and whereas our police officers
and provincial officers claim that they
have not received definite instruc-
tions to enforce the provisions of
these Acts, it is hereby resolved that
we ask the Provincial government
and municipal councils of Huron to
that a copy of this resolution be sent
ficers that these laws are to he ell;

that a copy of this re'soultion be sent

use of cigarettes is decidedly harm- tory, Rev. Dr. Larkin conducting the

whereas, some of the.anunicipal coun-
cils of the county have. refused per-
mission to persons wishing to sell
cigarettes and whereas, standard ho-
tels are allowed to sell cigarettes
without a municipal license, we here-
by request the Ontario Government
to so change the 0.T.A. that standard
hotels may not sell cigarettes without
first ,obtaining permission from the
municipal council as in the case of
poolrooms. 3. Recognizing as we
do that the public dance halls are re-
sponsible for a great deal of the im-
morality of the present day, and
whereas it is now clear that any mu-
nicipality has thepower to limit the
hours when dancing is permitted, re-
strict the age of those attending, go-
vern their conduct, the kind of .danc-
ing permitted, etc., and that persons
conducting' dance halls may be li-
censed, regulated inspected and go-
verned, and licenses may be revoked,
therefore we urge upon our local or-
ganizations using their influence to
secure the passage of such by-laws
in all our municipalities. We also
call upon the teachers and trustees
of our schools and colleges to ttse
their influence against the holding of
dances under the auspices , of these
institutions. 4. Whereas ,the board
of license commissioners are recom-
mending a revision of the O.T.A. and
whereas, the amendments to tate
0.T.A, made during the' last five
years have helped materially in abet-
ter observance o,f' the law, we hereby
recommend that only inch changes
be made as will strengthen its prohi-
bitions. In the matter of doctor's
prescriptions we recommend that
stricter provisions -be made to pre-
vent liquor being sold by this means
for beverage purposes. We wish. to
convey to the Government our be-
lief that sentiment is growing rapid-
ly among the people, that persons
who violate the 0.T.A, and Inland
Revenue Acts should be'given more
.severe penalties. 5. Whereas, most
of the liquor that is being seized is
liquor that has been made for export,
and whereas, we believe that the
greatest hindrance we have today in
the matter of advancing the cause of
prohibition in our Dominion, is the
fact
that native winds and s
Iron
g
liquors are
being manufactured and
exported for beverage purposes. That
the penalty for violating the Inland
Revenue Act be largely increased.
6. Whereas, much of the native wine
that is manufactured in Ontario is
being used for bootlegging purposes
and that in certain communities, a
large percentage sof the violations of
the 0.T.A, are distinctly associated
with' native wines, we hereby request
the :Ontario Government to prohibit
as far as possible the sale of all wines
having a percentage of proof spirits
over. two and one-half 'percent. 7.
Whereas, the success of the Ontario
.Temperance Act and other prohibi-
tion laws depends I'argely upon the
manner' hr which laws are enforced,

ty Social Service Council,. wish to
