that she was a successful Canad-

of all these lists which we read,
was that there was only one

MISS ZEMILA CORNISH
There passed away in Cooks-
town early Sunday morning,
January 22, 1950, at the home of
her sister, Mrs. M. E. McFadden,
Zemila Cornish, second daughter
of the late James and Annie
(Tiplady) Cornish. .
Miss Cornish was born on the
family homestead, Base Line,
near Clinton. where Mr. and Mrs,
Clark Ball now reside. For the
past 33 years she had resided in
her home in Clinton on Batten-
bury St. B. She was a faithful
and life-long member of Ontario
St, United Church, being espec-
ially interested hi the work of
the Sunday School where she
served for many years 'es pian-,
ist, and also took an active part
municipal, provincial, or domin-
ion, would be better advised if
there were women in the cabinet
counsels . , ,
a B IN
LET'S get right down to local
levels . Why are there not
any women in ` our municipal
bodies? . , From what we have
seen it's not from lack of talent
i, We doubt very Much if there
s a man's organization in town
that can conduct a meeting (ac-
cording to parliamentary pro-
cedure) as capably as many of
the presidents of women's or-
ganizations . . , How many men's
organizations -council or clubs -
or school boards -can conduct the
same amount of business, as say.
the Hospital Aid does in.one hour,
under • the leadership .of Mrs.
Fingland??.. . . If men attended
these H,A. meetings they would
get an eye-opener . . , And this
is not the only women's organ-
ization so situated -we could also
mention the W,I. and numerous
church groups . , The conclu-
sion we come to -women are too
modest and do not assert them-
selves enough in this man's
world -of which man has made
one awful mess ,
THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
--
Chief Justice J. .D, MeRuer
has given it as his judgment
that "Liquor is at the root of
most of the cases of homicide
coming before the courts, and in
some large measure responsible
for the too frequent attacks on.
women and girls and other ser-
ious crimes. Liquor and broken
homes, are the two, great forces
for crime in our community." The
judgment of the chief justice
should be enough to deter any
community from opening up or
increasing its liquor outlets, The
more liquor -the more crime.
