ered considerably. The ■ smoke-stack
at Fry & Blackhall’s factory buckled.

U. pledge in unison. The Dox'ology
was then sung, after which Miss
Hoover led in prayer and Mrs, John
Anderson gave a Bible reading.
The Clip Sheet entitled “Wasite!”'
was then read by several of the mem
bers, Excerpts from the .readings are
as follows: “The Liquor Traffic con
tributes to the wealth o.f a few at the
expense of the well-being of the na
tion. It i.s a Trafifc, not an Industry.
An industry enriches the nation, Drink
impoverishes it. Industry helps man
kind forward; Drink clogs the wheels
of progress.” *
“The drink trade transforms raw
material, useful foodstuffs', into some
thing which is at best , a luxury, and
at worst a source of infinite evil.”
“The Scottish Temperance Alliance
is asking for: (1) Reduction' of the
hours of sale. (2) No sale of spirits
on Fridays, Saturday and Sundays.
(3) No treating, no advertising, and
no canvassing for orders. (4) Prohi
bition of drinking by air pilots, motor
drivers, and others in similar occupa
tions while on duty, and dor some
hours before going on duty. (5) In
creased liquor rates. The reasons for
the proposed restrictions of liquor are
(1) The destruction of an enormous
amount of foodstuffs itt the sugar and
grain used for liquor. (2) The great
ly lessened efficiency and increased
loss of time -which affect adversely
the production of munitions and oth
er necessities of war. (3) The waste
of man-power, which ought to be de
voted to national -service. (4) The
waste of money on drink which should
be* diverted into production channels,
The Liquor Traffic may well be de
scribed as an enemy within .the camp,
wasting’ man-power and raw material
needed for food by ithe nation. Should
no-t any force that is. helping the en
emy at this .time be eliminated?”
The Misses Ada and Dorothy Phip-
pen then sang a duet, which was in
spiring and helpful, after which Mrs.
Cosens gave an interesting reading.
At the close of the business period,
Miss Laura Collar and Mis® Marjorie
Falconer sang with fine expression, a
lovely duet.
The meeting closed with a hymn,
and prayer by Mrs. Kelly, after which
