The minutes of the first meeting were read and adopted af- ter Ed. Fink's donation or install- ing the waterworlas free had been included. The report by the secre- tary -treasurer, H. E. Shaddick, showed a nice balance on hand. The various committees presented their reports and particular credit was given to Mr. Doxey and his comnritte's for the splendid work they had;;' done in preparing the lawn, which it is anticipated will be ready to bowl on in August. Undoubtedly it will' be a great as- set to Hensall, and up to the pre- sent time about twenty-four mem- bers have joined. There is still r. a=n for more, and all those wish- ing to join may do so by contact- ing G. M. Drysdale, L. Luker, Reeve A. Kerslake or W. O. Good- win.

The Editor, The Huron Expositor: Dear Sir: In view of the consid- erable discussion that has occur- red lately over the relative valves of the Liquor Control Act and the Canada Temperance Act in the handling of the liquor problem, 1 would like to say a word to the people of Huron County. I have been a resident of the Town of Goderich for a year now, having lived the previous 16 years in a town under the Liquor Control Act, and have been able to observe conditions in both towns as casual visitors would not be able to do. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of ,persous.I have seen in Goderich in a year wtho are intoxicated, apparently. Only a blind man would be able to say that of the Town of "W—"' if he were about the town at all. I know that there is drinking in Goderich. and liquor can be gotten legally r 4014411 Bros iblY ori 52,(!0 a Year du Advauee HURON CROP - IMPROVEMENT ASSOC. MEETSJ. Holds Annual Twilight Meeting in Grey Township. The Huron Crop Improvement Association held its annual twi- light meeting Monday at the farm of Bill Turnbull, R.R. 2, Brus- sels, with about 250 members pre- sent. Many prominent Speakersw were on hand. Jack Kingsbury, o£ the O.A.C., Guelph, district weed and seed, fieldman., gave a talk on weed eradication, using chemical weed -killers. Professor J. Mc- Lauchlin, of the Field Husbandry Department, O.A•..C., spoke on the varieties of grain that are being developed, and Jack Ketcheson, al- so of the Fiel'd' Husbandry Depart- ment, O.A.C., talked on soils and'' soil management. Alvin Betties, president of the association, was chairman, of the evening. Gordon Bennett, agri- cultural representative of Huron County for the past three yeara, who has just recently been ap- pointed to an associate director of the Agricultural Representatives Branch, Toronto, was presented skit a gift from the association. Mr. Bennett has been secretary - treasurer of the Huron.

The 70 -foot bridge which spans • the Maitland river, about a mile from the North Road, was built Y about 50 years ago.

To my mind (and I have been able to observe its working, personally) the most dangerous thing from this point of view is the banquet permit. In connection with conventions, town celebra- tions, wedding receptions, etc., a room may be secured and set up as a bar and the drinks are on the "house," and sometimes on the to'ix' What I have seen of this has given me a deep concern for many people, both old and young. There is incitement here for a non- drinker who would not be induced to run the risk of being seen enter- ing a beer parlor. Perhaps people think ministers are not in a position to know con- ditions because they patronize nein ther liquor stores nor beer parlors and. do not attend beer parties. More frequently we know far bet- ter what is going on because we hear and know the end of the story at the point where all the glamour is gone from' drinking and there is only sordidness, wretchedness and despair. We come in at the. stage of the alcoholics and the broken homes. We are in as good a posi- tion to be accurate as most people, in our judgment. and from what I have known and seen I can only say that if you want a "wetter" with incitements to drink on every 'hand, join the ranks of the agitators for the Liquor Control Act. If you prefer a town of quiet sobriety, keep the Canada Temper- ance Act.

As of th.+t date the annual subscription rate will be $2.50 in Canada, and $3.00 in the United States. Single copies will continue to be 5 cents each. While the trend necessitating the price change has been apparent for some time (newsprint, for instance, increased $12.00 a ton this month and, now costs nearly three times the price ten years ago), the publishers have hesitated taking any action that would have the'effeot of increasing the price to their subscribers. This, despite the fact that The Expositor has been the only all -home print weekly in Huron County to continue at the $2.00 rate. All other weeklies in this class advanced their subscription rates to $2.50 nearly a year ago. I.t 1s now no longer possible to absorb the increasedcost of pro- duction and at the same time provide the complete weekly newspaper service to which our subscribers for more than ninety years have been accustomed, and for this reason an increase of less than one cent a week is necessary.
