This is the payment back of a fine of $100 imposed by Magistrate Reid on Oliver Stewart, of Howick, for an alleged breach of the Liquor Control Act. It came up in council on the mo­ tion of Reeve Gamble of Howick, se­ conded by L. E. Cardiff, that we grant Howick township $100' to re­ imburse said township re Oliver Stewart. It was stated by the supporters of the motion that the alleged liquor was two-weeks old cider and1 could not possibly be intoxicating, and that Mr. Stewart had been induced to plead' guilty by a constable telling him that if he did he would get off easily. He pleaded “guilty” and the magistrate was obliged to im­ pose the statutory fine. The council seemed pretty well agreed that a mis­ take had been made in this case and that the young man should not have been advised to plead as he did but a. number of the council felt they had no authority to interfere with the administration of justice. The motion was deferred to the leg­ islation committee and their report was as follows: Re the motion of Gamble and Car­ diff re granting Howick Township $100 to reinburse said township re fine of Sitewart, that this be done. The council took a recorded vote and it was carried 15 to 12, as fol­ lows: For—Archibald, Bowman, Car­ diff, Craigie, Demerling, Eckart, El­ iott, Gamble, Hemingway; Johnston, Leiper, MeKibbon, McNabb, Moser, Smith—15. Against—‘Beaver, Consitt, Doug­ las, Francis, Goldthorpe, Haake. Mathson, McNall, Scott, Stewart, Sweitzer, Wright—12. This matter has been before the council before. In the January ses­ sion of 193 2 there were two mo­ tions in reference to it. The first is recorded as follows: By J. W. Craigie, seconded by F. C. Gamble that, owing to the. whole circum­ stances in connection with a certain fine imposed upon a young man in Howick amounting to $113, we re­ spectfully ask the police magistrate to exercise clemency in this case and have the amount of the fine, or a part of the same, remitted, as the young man is in very straitened cir­ cumstances, owing to the present depression condfition?—parried. At the afternoon session of the same day the following motion was recorded: By Mr. Gamble, seconded by Mr. Taylor, that the county coun­ cil refund one-half the fine impos­ ed on Oliver Stewart, of Howick Tp. by Magistrate Reid. Mr. Whitesides being present, was asked re the mat­ ter and made the necessary explan­ ation as to the particulars of how the fine was imposed. After some ■discussion, the matter was left over without action. Already says, Mr. Holman, two other demands have been made for refunds of fines, on the strength Of the council's action, and he feels the only thing he can do is await in­ structions from the Attorney-Geheral The fine as paidi in to the county by friends of the young man and the refund would be to go to these friends. Apparently legal advice was taken and this method of making a grant to the townsutp was hit up­ on as being considered legal.

It’s a dangerous time when folk wish to dodge their honest obligations. A man or a nation is a poor affair when either attempts to sidestep contracts. w »***♦»♦♦ WHY NOT? Would the country not be the gainer if the members of par­ liament decided that they should get through all the work of the House by the end of February—and cut their salaries -accordingly?

Folk who know, smile ruefully as nations making money out of war munitions nave gravely sent representatives to Geneva to discuss ways and means of abolishing war. Till the manufacture of war materials is for­ bidden as a government activity, the talk of disarmament is largely futile. IBread is made foi’ people to eat. War munitions are made •for war purposes, But bread is made to sell as well as to eat. What, then is to expected of those who make war munitions? If folk have war implement wares on hand need it be wondered that they push the sale thereof? And what better way of promoting the sale of war munitions than creating a demand for these deadly wares by fermenting wars? Public opinion and public conscience lag fright­ fully in this matter. As long as nations permit manufacture of war munitions there will be wars. It seems that this obvious fact must be brought to our attention often enough to have public opinion roused thereupon. Take the dollar out of war and a long step will be taken in the direction of international peace. A little humor taken at least three times* a. day either before or after mealS/is good for either depressed or depression feelings. THE COUNTRY YOUTH AND THE NEW DAY No one is affected more by the new day than the country youth. M’any country boys always looked to the farm as the scene of their life activities And these have proven, in the great majority of cases, to be the fortunate youths. Ten years ago country-minded youths were looked upon as lacking in enterprise. Today the boy who has a few acres of land to look to for his food, heat and shel­ ter is many miles ahead of his city cousin who is looking for muni­ cipal relief or sheltering his unemployed shins by his father’s fire­ side. We know several who are miserably so doing. The farm youth of today need not look to the store or the fac­ tory or the crowded professions. A week spent in the city with an informed companion who will take pains to show him city life as it really is in its business and profesional aspects convinces any bright farm boy that the city is a first-rate place to keep away from. Oc­ cupations that fifteen years ago lured our country boys; occupa­ tions such as railroading, or the automobile industry, have very little to offer any inexperienced boy. Aviation has little attraction. Even those engaged in the distribution of goods have all the help they need' and for years to come are filled up except for the youth of outstanding ability and that after he has served an apprentice­ ship in which the wages are so low that there is no attraction in them. J.ust now the country youth must look to country life to feed him and to keep him going. He may as well face this fact, discard his costly habits and get down to the work of the new day. Should he fail to do .so anyone can tell where he will be and what he will be ten years hence. **♦***♦« g FOLLY Folk were hopeful* wicen the (League of Nations was organized. And in many instancesThese hopes have been realised. Disease in some of its aspects has been controlled. In many instances its rav­ ages have been mitigated. Better understanding has been promot­ ed between nations. Disputes that might readily nave issued in bloodshed have been averted. Ills that could not be checked lo­ cally or nationally have been lessened by international council. The value of an- educated and informed public opinion has been proven. At the same time there is a growing feeling that the League is coming far short of its usefulness because it allows itself to be drawn into all manner of side or minor discussions. Many of these matters are worthy of attention but they are not what the plain man believed to be the primary object of the League. Instead of giving itself to the great work of removing'from the world as far as information and good will could do so, all causes and occasions of war, the League is busying itself with matters of business execu­ tives and individual choice. Just now the League is fussing about the 40-hour week. Thirty-four nations are sending delegations to consider this matter. And, by the way, these delegations will not live on manna. They will not, like the crows, grow their own clothes. They will not go by wing to their destination. While at the League they will not be fed by .ravens. No, these folk who gravely discuss how long men shall labour will live on money pro­ duced by men who do not measure their working hours by the clock but by accomplishment. .Here is an espect of the case noted by the London Times that lets the gas out .6f the whole costly talk fest. Tlie folk who are clamoring .for the 40-hour week demand the pay for 60-hour week! Can folly be ftiore egregious? German and French spokesmen were prominent in declaring that fewer hours must not mean, less wages. To this aspect of the problem the British Government representative, Mr. Norman, de­ voted his speech. While there were technical, enconomlc, and other obstacles in the way of an acceptable 40-hour week convention at the present time. Mr. Norman held that the wages difficulty was conclusive. The League has co rite to be far too complicated and too ex­ pensive. The organization that minds everybody’s business winds up by getting little done and by commanding little influence,RKIUKOI ZURICH FALL FAIR SET FOB SEPT. 25-26 The annual meeting of the Zurich Agricultural Society was held in the Zurich.

WALL PAPER INSECTS (Homemaker in Toronto‘Globe) Dear Homemaker: We have been troubled with a species of bug, the first we noticed being in a newly papered room. These bugs eat the wallpaper in the dark from around the window casings. Sometimes we turn on the light we see five or six at work on the paper. They are more active in the hoc weather. I would be more than pleased if you can suggest something to extermin­ ate them. I had to smile when my husband suggested that I ask the Homemaker, but, as they travel like lightning. I feared I might not be able to discribe them. Thank you very much for giving me some of your precious time. Vic. Wallpaper Insects: I think Vic, these are known as wallpaper injects and you will find the following treatment—recommended by the On­ tario Agricultural College—effective Mix equal proportions of flour and sodium fluoride, and sprinkle along the baseboards, in the floor cracks, and above the door and window frames. If any of the neighbors have fur­ ther suggestions, I shall be glad to pass them on to you. GRANTON COUPLE 50 YEARS MARRIED Mr. and Mrs. Robert Taylor Celebrate Happy Event; Were Handed in Exeter.
