WILL TEMPERANCE FORCES
TAKE IT,LYING DOWN?
For two generations or more the
temperance movement was pushed
with vigour and determination. ' In
the press and on the platform, by
the written and spoken word, the
evils of the liquor traffic were held
up to scorn, and the ravages wrought
by the use of alcohol as a beverage
kept constantly before the eyes of
youth. Till the battle apparently
was won. And then the education
ceased, Came reaction. And noW ft
is the other side that is engaged in
a crusade of propaganda. Masquer-
ading as inoderationists, and pro-
claiming "true temperance" as their
principle, the liquor interests are
flooding the country- with literature
advocating the freer sale of wine and:
beer in hotels and restaurants, which
is their immediate objective. And
they lire pulling wires, and exerting
influence in the same direction with
zeal and vigour. We rather suspect
that the report -spread last week
that Premier Henry was 'likely to
retire because of ill health was
prompted by a wish, father to the
thought, to see a man out of office
who is believed to be opposed to any
widening of facilities for the sale ai
liquor. Meantime the temperance
forces, which in the old days would
have sprung to action at the first
challenge, are somnolent. The 'olden
generation of temperance advocates
are weary and disheartened. The
younger people do not realise evil
potentialities that lie in the liquor
traffic, nor the subtlety of those who
profit by its expansion. Unless
temperance forces can be roused
from their slumbers the result may
be the loss of ''still further ground,
which the next generation or two
will have to struggle :hard to regain.
Temperance sentiment is, we believe
still strong in Ontario. But the as-
saults of specious and persistent pro-
paganda cannot but have an effect 11
allowed to go unrefuted.

MAY BE BODY OF YOUNG MAN
DROWNED LAST AUTUMN
The body of an unidentified man
was discovered in Mitchell's Bay on
St. Anne's Island near Wallaceburg,
on Tuesday, which may prove to be
one 'of the three young Londoners
who lost their lives between Detroit
and Bayfield last Labor Day.
Since the time they were seen in
Detroit while attending a boat race
between Kay Don and Gas' Wood, no
trace has been found of Eric Chap-
man. Reginald Appleyard and Doug-
las Milne.
The body discovered by an In-
dian who was watching his traps,
was said to be badly decomposed.
SECTIONMEN DOUBLING WORK
ON L. H. & BRUCE
Continuing economies on the part
of the railroads has resulted in half
of the sectionmen on the London, Hu
-
eon and Bruce branch of the C.N.R.
being laid off.
Formerly the 70 -mile track between
London and Wingham was kept in
repair by ten section gangs of one
foreman and two helpers, each gang
patrolling seven miles of track. Now
the patrol has been stretched to 14
miles and every other gang has been
laid off. There is only one passen-
ger and 'one freight daily each way
on this branch, which is a part of the
Stratford division.
DUNGANNON: The death occur-
red at Thessalon, Ont., of a farmer
well known resident of the vicinity
of Dungannon, in the person of Ro-
bert T. McKague, at the age of 77
years. He was a son of the late Mr.
and Mrs. James McKague, pioneer
residents of this district. About 35
years ago, with his mother, he re-
moved to Thessalon, where he was
employed in a saw mill until he
suffered a paralytic stroke souse
eight years ago. Since that time hr
had been confineel to his home. Of a
family of ten, eight brothers and
two sisters, only one brother, Daniel
survives. His smother passed away
15 years ago. He was much handi-
capped throughout his lifetime, be-
ing deaf and dumb, but he was nev-
ertheless a good and steady work-
er, being the sole support of his aged
mother. His death recalls the tragic
death of a brother, Martin, who wet
accidently killed -by a falling tree
while. working in a bush not fat from
Dungannon in company with Stephen
Deeves, who, strange to relate, also•
met accidental death ` some years
later when he fell upon a circular
saw. The late Mr. McKague, who
was Presbyterian in religion, was
interred in the cemetery at Little
Rapids.

Have You Renewed Your Subscription?
A GOOD MANY SUBSCRIBERS HAVE RENEWED THEIR
SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR 1933—HAVE YOU?
The News -Record subscription has been reduced twenty-five
percent. for 1933, while the quality of the paper has been in no
way reduced. We are spending just as much on it as when it was at
the higher price; the reduction was not justified by any reduction in
costs, so far as the materials and services which make up a news-
paper was concerned, but was made simply as a concession to the re-
duced incenses of subscribers. It will be remembered, perhaps, that
while prices of other commodities went up and up, newspaper sub-
scriptions and advertising prices remained the same,
Other sources of income upon which newspapers also depend,
such as advertising, has also fallen off considerably, so that the in-
come of the publisher is reduced quite as much, or more than that of
anyone else.
Newspapers, generally, are all suffering the same way but, be-
lieving that a turn will come, we are 'endeavoring to maintain our
service to the public at the same 'high level as formerly, absorbing
the losses ourselves, so that when the upward turn does come we
will not have a service reduced in quality, but will be carrying on,
just as usual.
But the circumstances stated above snake it imperative that sub-
scriptions be paid promptly: If your Sub. is Not Paid for 1933
Kindly See That It is Sent in to us as Soon As Possible.
