The Canada" Temperance Act' was first passed in 1878 substantially in its pre- sent for and wus THs UT YE MACE; with slight variations, in 'the Revised Statutex of Canada, 1927, Chapter 196, When the Canada W'¢mperance Aet was originally enacted there was no general provincinl control of the liquor trafic in Ontario, but only pro- vincial legislation enabling the muni- cipalities to exercise limited control. Since then Ontario has legislated re- gardng the traftic by various liquor acts and finally by means of the Liquor Control Act which has now been in force in its. present form since the vear 1934. The Liquor Control Act of Ontario has occupied the entire field with satisfaction to mdst of opr people so that there is now no necessity for the Canada Temperance Act in this Province, \ 4 mi RED & WHITE sows FRUIT WEEK "Navel Oranges, 2 doz. 35¢.
