REPEAL OF (Continued from Page One) NEWS -RECORD sought advice from a legal authority. Under the Canada Temperance Act, in order to repeal the Act as far as Huron County is concerned, it would. 'be necessary to circulate a petition to present to the Secretary of State for Canada, requesting that a poll be taken. This petition must contain the names of approximately one- quarter of the voters. The January meeting of the 1t1ven- ing Auxiliary was held on Thursday evening, January 17, at the home of Mrs. Wilfred Jervis, with, a well increased attendance. The nepresi- dent, Mrs. George Beattie, took charge of the opening exercises and conducted the business meeting. It was decided that a social evening should be held on January 31 and the president invited the group to her home for that occasion. Roll call was answered with paying of fees. After a temperance article by Mrs. Charles Nelson, Mrs. William Murch conducted the study period, resuming the study of missions in Africa with the theme "Education is for Living." Mrs. C. Nelscn, Mrs. J. Nediger and Mrs. J. Waldron gave interesting information concerning some of the things . being accomplished by the church in Africa and a short discus - elm followed. A lovely solo was sung by Mise V;ola Fraser and the meeting was brought to a close with a hynnu and benediction. RATION COUPON DUE DATES Coupons now valid are sugar 46 to 69, butter 116 to 188, preserves 33 to 57 and P1 to P25, meat 1 to 21. All preserves coupons and P coupons retain their usual value until January 31 when they ex- pire. Acting en this petition, the Secre- tary of State could direct that a poll be taken. If there were sufficient votes—a bare majority is all that would be required—to have the Can- ada Temperance Act repealed, it then would be declared not in force in Huron County. What their? That is the question. It is recalled that the Ontario Liquor Control Board, under the Hep- burn Govermitent only allowed ' bev- erage rooms in areas that had been "wet" under local option. It is only incidental that under the Canada Temperance Act, a -person may bring into his hone intoxicating liquor for his own consumption, and that there is no restriction whatso- ever as far as drinking on the streets is concerned The Privy Council judgment states that the Canada Temperance Act' is now in force in the counties Concern- ed, but no pronouncement has been Made on the Liquor Control Act. Goes Back Years Huron County Temperance Federa- tion has been active for many years. Its officers are: President, R. H. 'Lloyd, Win gham ;vice-president, Si. W. G. Medd, Exeter, and George John- ston. Goderich; secretary -treasurer, A. T. Cooper, Clinton. Mr. Lloyd said that the organiza- tion would waft to see whether the Ontario Government closes beverage rooms in the county before taking. any further steps as the result of the privy council decision upholding the validity of The Canada Temper- ance Act which is in force in the oounty. He said that if the beverage rooms are not closed it possible a pet- ition will be presented to the Govern- ment asking that this be done. Mr. Medd, former member of the Ontario Legislature, said that some time ago he appeared before the On- tario Hotel Authority Board at Kitchener to oppose the granting of an authority to a Huron County Vil- lage hotel. He said at that tune he was assured 'that all "beer author- ities in Huron County would be with- drawn if the Privy Council rejected the Ontario Government's appeal against the Canada Temperance Act." 411 eads Qeraziay, `t9 -cam 4 £i ylll muted, This sale is for the remainder of January Only.
