WATSON' FAMILY
JACK ROBERTS and Sally have been
"friends" for some time. But Jack took
Sally by surprise (she really hadn't expected
a ring this spring) and in this case one ring
naturally led to another. Sally just has to call
Mother who is visiting out-of-town. "We're
to be married right away," she says happily.
And Sally will call some of her out-of-town
friends as well, who will appreciate having
the news "first". Wouldn't you?
Reductions in telephone rates—local and long
distance—in 1935, '36 and '37 have el Acted
savings to- telephone users in Ontario and
Quebec of nearly one million dollars yearly.

A HEN GOES HOME
Court at Chatham heard a ease
which had to do with. the stealing
of chlokens. The provincial police
in the district had taken the chick-
ens to the place Pram which it was
claimed they had been stolen, and is
order •to prove or test ownership
the birds were turned loose. They
did not act as though they were
there on a short visit, ,but made
their way at once to the chicken -
house and there was no fuss on the
part of the other occupants.
Tile Police officer considered that
was sufficient evidence that the
chickens belonged there, and the
magistrate agreed also. Perhaps
each or .both had kept a few hens
and knew something of their habits.
A hen never does give much evi-
dence of being smart, but a hen
knows enough to go home. Give
her credit for that, and exercising
that feeling that she should go
home when in danger has cost a
good many hens their lives. Per-
haps you have noticed when driving
along a country road that a hen will
always eroas, over to the side of the
road where she lives. The ex-
planation s that the coming of the
car has alarned her and the first
thing she does is try to make for
Imam That is why so many of
them get struck and killed.

JUDGE WAS SURPRISED
Mr. Justice Jeffrey of the Ontario
Supreme Court has been presiding
in Windsor and during the hearing
of the oast evidence was presented
which -Showed that slot machines.
were .inrvolved in the case under
consideration,.
The learned Judge remarked:
"You don't mean to tell me that
slot machines are being operated
in this part of Ontario? If they
are then some one Is falling down
in the enforcement of the law. ICs
the most brazen ,thing I ever heard
of. A. anunlctpaldty cannot break
the law any more than anyone else.'
Irf Mr. Justice Jeffrey were read-
ing the news is the papers every
clay of the week he would learn
there are a number of places. where
the slot anaohine question comes up
for diecusston in coun8I1. 13e
would end there are different kinds
of fees attached to the machines
and he would learn, we have pient'y
of elated representatives in munici-
pal colsuoile who ate reckoning and
figuring on how much ravouue eon
be secured from the operation of
these machines. They are out-
lawed by the Criminal Code, but
there appear to be a number of
municipal councils which do not
give two hoots for the driminal
Code.

CANADA SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT CRISIS
Why does Prime Minister King
refuse to discuss the European situ-
ation and its possible effect on
Canada?
'Surely events: of the past few
weeks are sufficiently important to
every Canadian citizen to warrent
some statement from the Govern-
ment.
Prime hpinis:'er Chamberlain in
British House of Commons went in
to the greatest detail about the
crisis, Yet Mr. Ring refuses even
to discuss 1t.
Inevitably what happens in
Europe is bound to have its reper-
cussions on Canada. Are we to be
dragged into war without knowing
of the successive stops by which ive
approach the abyss?
Parliament is in session at Ot-
tawa, Jt is entitled to receive from
Prime Minister King, on behalf of
the people of Canada, a proper and
adequate report on the grave situa-
Lion now casting its shadow over
thin country as well asthe entire
civilized world.

Let's be sure which are Weeds!
What are the real reasons that the cause
of true temperance sometimes seems to
grow so slowly?
There are four which every fair-minded
man will recognize .. .
ONE: A failure to recognize the fact
that a control law is designed for the
control of those who drink --• and not to
please those who object to drinking, even
in moderation.
Two: The excesses of the few whom
prohibition taught how NOT to drink!
THREE: The lack of successful control
in the areas under local option!
FOUR: The misguided efforts of ex-
tremists, sincere and insincere, to discipline
rather than educate our own generation!
For no law which aims at making people
"good" against their will will ever do any-
thing but the opposite! Every man open-
minded enough to read a simple lesson of
history must admit the fact. Prohibition
itself taught it!
The present law merits the support of

all who are truly interested in good
citizenship. Why? Because inhuman terms
it is a sound law. It takes men and women
as they are. It gives them freedom of
choice till they have proved themselves
unfit to exercise it. It gives men and
women their British liberties up to the
point, but never beyond the point, where
they interfere with the liberty of others!
Let those who want to pull things up
be sure which are the weeds!
GOVERNMENT CONTROL has proven the most successful system as yet
tried in the Town of Amherstburg, Any
system which gives any measure of con-
trol is certainly preferable to what we
experienced under the O.T.A. Since the
present law came into force we have had
no serious complaint regarding boot-
legging activities; the problem has
ceased to be one of major proportions,
as was formerly the case." -Signed.
(J. E. McGnn, Mayor of Anlherstburg).
