In a manifesto signed by Dr. A. J, Irwin, the prohibitlonists - de- clare that a former statement was misconstrued, and infer that there {s no intention of forming a dry party unless pending developments leave no gther alternative. Individual prohibitionists subse. quently stressed. the fact that there {s no intention of asking foy a rof- erendum in the near future, and that they are agreeable to the ad. vocates of beer and wine sale hav- ing preciscly the same privileges which they demand for themselves. It is recognized that a referendum on the question of beer and wine may conceivably became a pressing question befero the pendulum again swings toward prohibition. The statement again contains a broad hint that there is no reason ed by the successor to Premier Ferguson might not be so adamant fn its stand that there would be no raferendum on the question, The only way we know to maka good resolutions last is to let the Fast of the family make theirs rat, \ to believe that a Government hoad«"| MOVE TEMPERANCE HALL AT MYRTLE Plowing Done e in December, a Very Unusual Occurrence Myrtle, Dee, 11,~Men of the the Old Temperance Hall getting in shape to have it moved back a few feet from ts present site, Built in 1854 this is probably the community are busy working on Dldes structure in the commun~ ty, Mr, and Mrs, Charlie Pilkey and Mrs, James Dickson motored to Toronto on Tuesday, The fine open weather the earl- fer part of'the week enabled farm. ers to continue plowing operations for a few days.
