The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1928-11-01, Page 4THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1st, 1928 42 A DEFECT IN THE L. C. A. ***•’ <”*** *W.THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE (London Advertiser) An unusual letter appears in the New York a Herald and Tribune of October 23, signed by W. H. F. Tenny of Potsdam, N.Y., who says that he spent much of his time this year .with the Canadian Chautauqua, and has been closely observing the government dispensary plan in On* tario. He pretends to describe condi- ditions in 'the neighborhood of this city. To quote: “North of London the whole dis­ trict is dry, and yet the bootlegging is worse than ever before. A whole family will take out permits (seven have done it in one family), go to London and “draw" all the liquor they are allowed on each permit. It averages $3 a quart for strong li­ quor. Frequently they “cut’’ this with adulterants and then sell it to their customers by the pint, or even the single drin, at two or three times the dispensary price. The “custo­ mers’’ in most eases are the class who cannot afford, the trip to London ad frequetly cannot raise the money necessary to buy in dispensary quan­ tities. One can buy bootleg liquor anywhere north of London, Grand Bend, Bayfield, Exeter, Clinton—all the towns and villages are reeking with government booze. The same thing is true in the district north of Toronto, THN BOYS WIN FREE TRIP TO ROYAL WINTER FAIR Thirty-six Huron County junior farmers competed in the second an­ nual Junior Royal Judging Competi­ tion held at Clinton on Friday, Oc­ tober 26 th.

In most cases this may be true but judging by the experiences of more than one farmer in this vincinity there are a few udesirables among the newcomers and some of these have recently, much to the sorrow of local agriculturists been employed on farms near St. .Marys. One farmer had an Irishman work- • ing for him recently who was ex- ! ceedingly- handy with a pen as well as being a splendid farm worker.

DEPOPULATTON IN BRUCE The Cliesley Enterprise draws at­ tention to the depopulation which is taking place in Bruce County and urges that the press of the country should try to divert some of the new settlers from the motherland to the pasture farms of Bruce. The En­ terprise points out that there are un­ filled farms in every township in Bruce. It observes that age hundred acres in the ing sections of Bruce can for $6,500, or perhaps a The house could not be replaced for less than $3,500, and the bank barn for $3,000. This means the land, ■fences and outbuildings are thrown in when a sale is made.

Miss Duff is one of the secretaries supported by the various unions from the Budget. Fund. Last year the Alberta Union asked to have her come to them for a brief itinerary.

She told of the enor­ mous increase in Ontario of the manufacture of liquor—of increased numbers of breweries as well as dis­ tilleries and of the enormous quan­ tities of wine manufactured from our wineries, showing that under the L. C. A. the liquor traffic was increasing by leaps and bounds and this, despite the fact that its spon­ sors promised' it would be a good temperance measure.
