THURSDAY, APR.IL 5th, 1934 The Wine and Reer Bill In the dying hours of the last session of the On- tario Legisiature, the Beer and Wine Bill was put through the house with a solid Conservative vote and hall the opposition voting for the measure, and the other hall off the Liberals voting against it. It was grariffying to note that Durham County's repre- sentative, W. J. Bragg, and South Ontarios repre- sentative, W. E. N. Sinclair, voted on principle ag- ainst the bill, thus ignoring the dictates of their Leader Mitchell Hepburn who preferred to acquiesce in this legislation andi not make it a political issue in the coming election. The loosening of the L.C.A. restrictions on the sale off wines and beer, provided for in this bill, should be wide enough to satisfy the desires of the 'wet" supporters to whose pressure Premier Henry yielded in spite off the fact that there was no demand for this legisiation f rom any responsible organization off citizens. It will also prove acceptable to the wealthy brewery barons and they have been known at times to be not ungrateful for favors. Politicians also see possibiities in the large patronage which the oper- ation of the new law will place in their hands, while the Government is not overlooking the increased re- venue which an extended sale off beer and wines is likely to yield. Though the sale off beer and wines with meals is stated to be conffined to dining'rooms in "standard hotels and high-grade eating places," this clause is liable te prove very elastic when political pull gets in its work. The most objectionable feature is the establish- ment off beverage rooms, selling beer by the glass. This is in a measure the return off the bar-minus brass rail and other accessories-which the people off Ontario thought they had banished forever. By delaying the proclamation of the Act until af- ter the election, the Government has endeavored to make the bill a strong campaign factor. Perceiving that such an issue would have a tendency to dis- tract attention from the record off the governmnent, the Opposition decided to acquiesce in the passing off the bill. On the second reading, however, nine Opposition members voted against the measure and the others supported it while the Conservative ranks remained solid. The vote was 89 to 9. There seems littie prospect now off the new liquor legislation being eliminated f rom election discussions. Every candidate will undoubtedly be required to state bis position and give his reasons thereffor. With the wide open sale off beer and wine, news- papers will be f looded with liquor advertising, and while it will mean hundreds off dollars revenue an- nually to many publications. The Statesmaln will not carry any such advts on the principle that wve would be encouraging something that is detrimental to the health and well-being of the community. The Globe's 9Oth Birthday On Wednesday, March 281b, the Toronto Globe oelebrated its 90th anniversary, marking this impor- tant mihestone in a long, courageous and valueti car- eer, with a special edition. The Globe was born in troubled times. Practically all Reform papers had been persecuted out off existence ffollowing tbe Wil- liam Lyon MacKenzie uprising, and se it proved un- usually courageous for George Brown o establish tbe Globe back in 1844. Prom that lime forward The Globe bas been in the forefront off Toronto affairs, as wehl as in fe<leral, and may wehl be termed "Canada's National News- paper." Il bas given to Ontario's capital city a type off journalism off whicb it mîght te proud. Undaunt- ed by adverse public opinion it bas offten opposed measures on principle, wbere support migbt bave meant increased circulation and advertising patron- age. Ninely years is a long ile.

The Statesman is just 10 years the Globes junior. Il too bas passed tbrougb lean anti prosperou.s times.

Ontario Crippled Children Week Under the distînguiisheti patronage off Col. the Hon. Herbert A. Bruce, Lieutenant Grovernor off Ontario, and Hon. Geo S. Henry, Premier off Ontario. April 8tb to Aprîl 141h will be observed as Ontario Crippled Children Week tbroughout the province. Hon. W. G. Martin, Ministùeiroff Public Welfare, is chairman off the committee. In a pamphlet issued Ibis week it is pointeti out by Reg. W. Hopper. Secretary off tbe Crippleti Chiltrens Society andi a frequent visiter in Bowmanville. that most cripples are matie, not born. Fully 80'ý offtefforrities are due tn dis- ease andi accident, The prîncîple disea.ses responsible for the 400 Ontario chiltiren wbo are ciippleti an- nually are infantile paralysLs, tuberculosis anti rieke*s.

Ini order le bring bome o parents the neeti for con- stant wvalcbfulness and care, 25 provincial organizat- ions are joining forces in a province-wide educat- ional crusade between the dates mentioned above. Througb the press, motion pictures, radio and ad- dresses an efffort will be made te bring Ibis message into every horne. Everyone appreciates the work accomplished by t.he Rotary Club for Crippled children of this district but we are sure that all will agree that preventive wcork is better than the cure. Every child bas a right to look forward to the day wvhen he will be a com- petent selff-supporting citizen. It will be difficult to make his way in this competitive age if he must face life with a physical handicap. Childhood is the time for correction and for prevention. Every citizen can do his or ber part in removing causes off accidents that wihl produce cripples. and by bntnging to the atten- tion of authorities cases off minor handicaps which, corrected now, may save the child f rom a serious physical handicap through lite. Here Was a Real Man "He neyer shirked. Every worthy cause found him a ready helper. Everything he undertook was faith- f ulhy and effectively done. He neyer refused to give liberally off his means, bis timne and bis ability. He was a kindly, generous disposition. He was loyal to his friends. He rarely criticized anyone, and had in- fImite patience witb human frailties." This glowing epit.aph appeared in the Picton Gaz- ette as an appreciation off Robert Davison, a well known Picton citizen, who died recently. and it was written by a close personal f riend, Magistrate A. E Caînan, former editor off the Picton Gazette. Knowing Mr. Caînan we know that tNis tribute is sincere and while we were not acquainted with Mr. Davison wve can quite imagine what a wonderful ef- fect on his community his life must have had. The time comes when aIl must die, and even il the bou- quets are not handed out freely in life, te. receive one in death. off the nature off the above. would at least give friends and relatives off the deceased the knowledge that his ie had been worthwhile. One might say that by the degree in wbich we will be missed rnay be judged the success we have attained. Any man that leads a right life, giving his best to his home. his community and his country, is worthy off an epitaph such as this, and in the true sense off the wvord service he belped to leave the world better than he ffound it.

Editorial Notes Wouldn't it te a great thing-for tbe Hydro,-iff it were possible to urn offf tbe current off criticism as easihy as electricity can be turned off?-(Niagara Falls Reviewî. The action off the Provincial Governrnent in drop- ping a milk pasteurization bill and bringing in a beer bill instead is severely criticized by the Listoweh Ban- ner. It says: "Tbey drop a bill that would bave been off inestimable value te the bealtb off the citizens. a bill they ha-I1 been urged Vo pass I rom alI sections off the country, but it stirred up opposition and tbere was no revenue to te derived. They introduce a bill that will be a detriment Vo the people in these times when many are denied the ordinary comfforts off hIe. but a bill that will bring money inta the cafers and mayte some votes at the election.' The speci-il services conducted tbrougbout Holy Week under the auspices aI the Ministerial Asso- ciation have shown a very happy state off co-aper- ation existing between ministers off the various churches. Attendance at Trinily Church aI Good Fni- day morning service wilnessed a gatherîng together off inembers off every cburcb in the town witb their moral and spiritual leaders all present on the rostrum. In the evening in St. John's Church, an equally repre- sentative congregation ffilled the church to heai the cantata. presented under the auspices off the Association. This annual get together off congregat- ions is worthwhile, ffor it is bringing nearer that un- ity off aIl protestant denominations that is so de- sireti. There can te litile real Christianily when people cannot agree enough to worsbip together. but the angle off the other persons views are seen wben sucb interdenominational services are held.

Il Ibis %vas not done Iast fll there will be time to do it thîs spring bel ore the bushes need to be planted. Il a new rose plant- ing is to be made, a reasonably open location should be cbosen. sbeltered il possible from the nortb and west %vinds. Some sunlight is necessary, prefferably that of the alternoon. Good drainage too is a great asset. We usedti o make oui-selves telieve that il was impossible to have the soil Vco ricb for roses and the cost off this preparation kept many peo- ple ffrom attempting ta grow them. Wbilst the other extreme is not ad- vised it is now known that any rea- sonably good. garden soil will grow the queen off flowers. Excellent re- sults may be obtained with much the samne treatinent as that given ta vegetables. The ground sbould te dug twice the depth of a spade a.nd if it is available a good dressing of decayed manure well worked in the lower half off the digging. Iff stable manure cannot te obtained a good commercial fertilizer migbt be sub- stituted, used according to instruct- ions supplied with the package. If the soil is really very poor. or iff it is notbing more or less than builders' rubbish, as is sometimes the case. it is wise to remnove it and replace witb good soil. The soil ffrom cellar ex- cavations can be improved to some extent by the addition of decayed manure and loam. This implies tbat1 part of the poor soil should be tak- en away te make room f or the tetter i material. If drainage is lound te te necessaîry a ffew inches off Stones or cinders telow the prepared soul wilh usually be lound efffective. Planting roses is just a garden operation simple enougb in ilsel, but deînanding a good deal off care. Assuming that the bushes te te planted are being brougbt in I rom a nursery. the firsl thing te, avoid is alowving the roots te become C:ry. Il circumstances do not permitirmc- iate planting the plants shoulci be partially or completely buried in m oist soil. If the shoots appear ta b e somewhat dried out or sbrivelled. t he plants should te completely bur- iedt in moist soil for a few days. Dur- ing the actual planting special care must te taken te avoid exposure Vo the lngtb offdippinmgrtbe rsoot n theyingthwind om e roersgonte puddle off thin mud teffore planting. Any roots that are not already cut cleanly might be trlmmed with a Sharp kniffe and at planting time all diseased or poor looking branches should te cut away. Complete prun- ing is done later. A hole should be dug large enough ta take the roots wîthout having to bunch them up. Spread tbem out in a horizontal pos- ilion so that the soil can te easily worked in among them. The plant sbould te set deep enougb that the bud is a litthe below the sur-face. This point can te easily determined.
