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 1. Whereas, 'we believe that the about three years ago, They spent a 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; forced strictly and impartially, and that a copy of this re'soultion be sent CHURCH CARD.

Whereas, we believe the afternoon to Maitland Bank ceme- use of cigarettes is decidedly harm- tory, Rev. Dr. Larkin conducting the fel to growing boys and girls and 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, we, the members of the Huron Coun- ty Social Service Council,. wish to ing finished her course et the sum- place on record •our appreciation of the splendid work done by W.
