THURSTON, - Assoc Editor ANOTHER COMROL ACT There are a lot of angry tcmper- : â- ! â- Â« people and those favorable to t • principles of temperance, in On- 1 rio. A few years ago we were ' 'd that the Liquor Control Act was • last thing' lin temperance legisla- n. The government then knew . ;.it what was needed to control 1 lUor and minimize the consumption I intoxicants. Evidently they knew t o well for the welfare of their J iends the brewers. Now they are t-ying to make amends by opening I ;) new channels for beer and wine I > trickle throuffh. The wet inter- ' ts have proved too strong for weak- 1 need politicians and we are faced v.ith a .situation such as never has been seen in Canadian temperance logislation. Both big political part- ies have joined forces to force an act through which was asked for only by the brewers and wine interests, and which all temperance people will re- pent bitterly, as they struggle be- t-.veen the upper and nether millstones. To them the manner in which the new 1-^w is being forced upon them i.s a I'.'jmiliation which will never be for- rrotten as long as the present Ontario roliticians seek re-election. It is it'tounding to think that a premier V ho h.id refused time and again to «" I the very thins now being done, r'nould descend from the high altitude 1.3 has always taken to crucify the 7 lincipies wKich he ha-s alwaye claimed to possess, and which we all t'lought were an outstanding feature r.riong politicians. What a mistake, to be sure. main away from the ponds, as it will liocume dangerou.s when the sun anu rain honeycombs the ice. • • • It appears at the present moment that the Ontario elections will taki- place early this summer, likely in June. The Henry government will K<> to the country with his new beei l>ill, which would come into effect immediately he was returned to of fiee. Opponents of his freer-drink- ing policy will no doubt be heard from before the campaign progres.se.'- very fur and it has been suggested that strong anti-beer candidates bt entered in every Ontario riding tc secure the feeling of the people. Each election sees the advocates of liquoi and beer becoming more solidly en trenched under the present adminis- tration and in place of the govern- ment controlling the liquor business-- we find it controlling the govemment, with its huge profits, which enable the government to turn a deficit into a surplus. SCHOOL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Store Changes Hands The F^esherton Variety Store changed hands on Friday of last week when Mr. S. L. Stauffer of town pur- chased the stock from Mr. W. J. Hill. Mr. Hill opened the variety store the first of last December in the building owned byt Mr. Jas. A. Stewart, form- erly Fisher's barber shop. Mr. Stauf- fer has had experience in this class of merchandise while residing in To- ronto and should make the store a success. He is busy at present mak- ing alterations to the store interior and will add a sumber of lines de- manded by the public. We welcome Mr. Stauffer to the business life of the village and best wishes for his success in his venture.

Meggitt, east of Flesherton, slipped on the side of a hill near the bam Saturday afternoon and suffered broken legs, that necessitated the despatching of the animals. They were let out to water at the spring lower down on the hill and slipped on the treacherous ice with the above result. 1. <2ucslion â€" Can a teacher leg- ally claim a month's sick leave after handing in a written reitignation. to take effect at o»:e or at the end ot th rty days? Answer â€" Under Sub-section (4) of Section 103 of the Public Schools Act every teacher shall be entitled to his salary notwithstanding his absence frem duty on account of sickness foi a period not exceeding four weeks in any one year, if the sickness is certi- fied to by a physician. Ji the teacher's illness occurred while he was still a teacher on duty in the school, whether before or after he gave in a written resignation, he would UTidoubtedly be entitled to sal ary for a period of illness providing this period did not exceed four weeks and providing also that the illness did not extend beyond the term of his agreement. 2. Question â€" If a teacher writes in June accepting a position as teach- er in a school, can she res'gn before September 1st, if no contract is sign- ed? Answer â€" There is nothing in the Public Schools Act that would defin- itely cover this point; tut :it is gen- erally accepted that when a teacher makes engagement with a Board she cannot resign before entering on her duties. 3- Question â€" Is it within the rights for a ratepayer to take action against a school board which has a '^urplus of $500 on hand at the be- ginning of the year? If so. what procedure should be followed? Answer â€" Under Sub-Section (p) of Section 88 of the Public Schools Act it is the duty and a power of a Board of Trustees to submit to the Muni- cipal Council an estimate of the ex- penses of the schools under their charge for the current year. The current year as used here can mean only the calendar year. It is not intended therefore that a Board should carry over into the next calendar year a cash balance of any magnitude. It would seem very in- advisable for a ratepayer to take any action against a rural Board of Trus- tees which had a surplus of $500 only. On the other hand, a ratepayer might with reason enter complaint against a Board which insisted on carrying a balance of more than |1,000 for a one teacher school. 4. ({uestion â€" If the auditors of a school section make an examination of the i.):hool accounts and certify the accounts to be correct, can anutlier audit be made? Answer â€" If the auditors' report is presented to the ratepayers of a rural school section in December and if the ratepayers pass favorably on the ac- counts then the Board of Trustees and the secretary-treasurer have received the ratepayers' sanction for the trans- actions. There is nothing to prevent a Board of Trustees, however, from having a further audit made of the books either from the preceding year or years if such a step is deemed ad- visable. Sub Section (2) and (3) of Section 97 of the Public Schools Act prowde for the settlement of any difference of opinion between the auditors by the Inspector or by the Minister and the latter's decision is final. Water level in Lake Erie is at the say in a few months from now some lowest point in 70 years, but we dare person who cannot swim will find a spot so deep that a quick call will be sent for the life guard of the mortican.
