WINGHAIVI, ONT., THURSDAY, JUNE 9th, 1927 SOCIAL SERVICE COUNCIL coNvNTIoN At a' recent meeting of the Exectt- tive Committee of the Huron County Social Service Council, it was decid- ed to hold the annual convention in • Seaforth, on Wednesday, June 22nd, when a strong program will be pro- vided. In a very emphatic way the Execu- tive expressed their disapproval of the action of the Ontario Government in •replacing Mr. W.eT, Pelow as en- forcement officer in Huron County. During his term of office Mr, Fellow has had the entire approval and en- edor.tion of the organization through- out the County, which believes that •it has been largely 'clue to his efficien- cy and untiring efforts, that the Tem- erance laws have been so well en- forced. The published reports of the Government also show Mr. Pelloev to have been one of their most efficient ,officers, and a protest has been sent to the Attorney -General concerning this change in Huron County. The Liquor Control Board of Oe- ta.rio hae been advised by the Ex.ecte- • tive ,that Huron County expects that •-they will be recognized by the Board as "dry" territory, and that no at- tempt will be made to establish liquor •-stores in this County, contrary to the expressed will of the people as shown by large majorities on several occa- esions.
