An experience many travelle^rs have had befell a mdnisher of the Crown the other day. Russe'll Kelley, Ontario's Minister of Health, told a meeting that on a recent trip to Ottaiwa he stopped at a hotel toward nightfall. On asking for a meal he was told the dindngrooim had just closed and no more imeals weTe being served. "I do not believe a place which would turn a traveller away without food should not be allowed a license," he remarked. This is putting it mildly. The Common law in England ages ago defined the rights of travellers in such circuanstoncts, and that common law still holds in this province today, Mr. Kelley bad he been as familiar with the law as perhaps he should have bee'n, could have offered the inhospitable hotel owner the altern- ative of giving him a meal or def- ending an axrtion ifor dasm&gea in the courts. And it -would Ibe a good thing if the next traiveller treated like tbat â€" let us hope he is not an American tourisit â€" Stood hie ground and claim- ed his rights. Two judgments giireij by Canadian courts would «iihstain him. "The true definition of an Inn," reads one otf them, "is a hovae whert the tn^^er is furnished with -everything which he may have occasion for while vpoB his way- If ha comes latz> ke ean brousel the drrRioeeiper and «all jGor sqpper (and bed and that is amioai- modation to which he is entitled. The guest is entitled to a suifiTicient stiji- ply of wholesome' food. . . " And the other adds: "The innkee^r isi Ulable to indictment and to an action on the case for damages for re^siilg to re- ceive a traveller." It would b« more pleasariit if hotels awlays dischaif^ed th^r obli gations to travellers in the opea' hearted Canadian wfcy. But if they do not, 'travellers shoad kinour the remedy. ^ Ottawa Citinett, Bom FISH'ER â€" At Mrs. Nuhn'e Nare- ing Home, Flesherto'n, on Monday, July Hth, 1547, to Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Fisher of Artemesia. a son Robert Dean.

This is a day set apart by the Intel-national Co-operative Alliance on which to demonstrate the' solicity of coperators and the possibilities of the movement as a means of econ- omie emancipation and a guarantee of world peace. International Co- operative Day has hitherto not been given prominence in Canada, in the pretentious manner that it has in other countries, but the movement is growing, and on July och, this year Mr- A- B. McDonald, General secretary of the Ck)operative Union of Canada spoke ovei- t2he C.B.C- Trans-Canada network, and the day was fittangly observed in many places. Mr. MacDonald says: in part. No sincere and ardent Co-operator will desire to allow International Co-operative Day to pass unnoticed. It should be a day of reflection on the spiritual values of co-operation. It should be a day set aside from the vexatious pn^blems of the co-opera- tive mai'ket place for the contempla- tion of etettial values of truth, honor, charity, justice and and brother- hood. For more than a century, these principles have been nurt- ured by the co-opeYative movement in many countries. Where they have forgotten or ignored co-operation has withet'ed and deccyed. In the international arena the re- jection of these same principles has brought civil iaaition to the very verge of destruction. Eiven yet, the precip- itous drop to world chaos is dang- erously close.
