Jan. 21st, at the age .of 87, severed
one of the few remaining ,links with
the first settlers on the 16th conces-

Hislop, settled and raised a family of,
six sons and four daughters. Those
who knew John Hislop will recall the

Was as good as his bond. A story told
of his father throws light on the at-
mosphere iii which he was reared and
was characteristic of the early Scot-

front Scotland the elder Hislop set-
tled first in Waterloo•County. In those
days railway's were almost non-
existent and stores few and far be-
tween. 'Neighbours co-operated in
making the necessary trips for sup-
plies - these trips often requiring
two days or more. On one occasion
James Hislop accompanied a neigh-
bour to the store and necessities to

marked that there was another thing
which they were needing, whereupon
his companion told him to pick one

Judge W. T. Robb, chairman of the
Liquor Authority Board for the prov-
ince, said that as chairman of the
board which issues beer authorities to
clubs and beverage rooms he would
oppose as front April 1 the granting,
of renewals of authorities to hotels,
golt clubs and veterans ' clubs in
Huron, Peel and Perth counties and
in Manitoulin district -areas affected
as a result of the Privy Council judge-
ment,
The question of whether these. autb
orities be immediately cancelled will
be decided at a meeting of the board
in Toronto. Thirty-seven hotels and
clubs are affected in the four areas by;
the Privy Commit ruling.
It is pointed out that the legally
considered "dry" areas went "dry" by
local option vote and on this basis
can, if they wish, now vote 'wet."
This calls for a three -fifths -majority.
• It was the opinion of an 'official
of the Liquor • AuthoritY Board that
one 'of the centres exempt from the
ruling of the British judges was

are seven beverage rooms in Stratford

"Personally, I think it will be a good
thing for the county, although I must
say that all three hotels 'have been

been but two complaints. received,
The mayor felt, however, that it
would have been ranch better if the
government had opened stores of its
own in the county, instead of issuing
authorities to hotels,
'It is safe to say there will be quite
an uproar here, over the judgment and

Hotel keepers in the two. counties-

In Goderich one hotel man said the

Warden Richard Shacldick of Huron
County guessed that illicit liquor trade
Might jump 100 per cent, and said a'
:dry county Would certainly be no mag-
net for tourists. •
Mayor John Cluff ot Seaforth,agreed
that drying up of hotels there would
be detrimental to the tourist trade.
"Sonne hotel employes will certainly
lose their livelihood," he said, "and
the bootleggers will get money that
belongs in legitimate channels. As
soon as You take something away
from the people they want it more

son may bring into his home intoxi-
cating liquor for his own consumption
and that there is no restriction what-
soever as far as drinking on, the•
streets is concerned. The PrivyConn-
ell judgment states that. the Canada:
Temperance Act is now in force in,
the counties concerned, but no pro-
nouncement has been made on the
