was easy with short hours and long weekends and nice clean convenient surround ings but tve heard men talk at lunch eons and dinners who bad beoomal distinguished bankers and directors and presidents and things like that they told their audiences that the happiest days of their life had been spent on the farm that raised them one bank president said bed been sorry all his life that he forsook the farm for the alleged glories of the city that may have been a luncheon fable and quite untrue but i believ ed him and still believe him why does the farmer stick to his job when most other men quit theirs for more money simply because he is a son of the soil who is loyal to the call of heritage the tang of mother earth at the back of his throat getsl him put him in a factory hi an office on a

correspondence georgetown jury 25th 1630 to the editor of the georgetown herald dear mr editor let me express our gratitude to you for opening the columns of your valu ed paper to us that we may inform the eleven hundred cittoens of george town and the surrounding community whom we represent of developments in the establishing of a brewers ware house in our town shortly after the delegation waited on the liquor commissioner a letter was recehtd from him stating that according to his promise he had re viewed the situation had made en quirles have received a petition signed by citizens of georgetown asking for the establishment of the warehouse and that he had granted the authority for a warehouse your committee met and decided to address a letter to the liquor coin mlssloner protesting strongly against the partial fulfilment of his promise and requesting another interview with him on july 18th another letter was received stating in part as follows after your deputation called on me i reviewed the whole situation as promised had numerous enqulr les made and received a petition which seemed to me to be very representative after due consid eratlon i could not sec anj reason to change mj former opinion as to the establishment of this ware house consequently i did not feel that it would be worth while to bring your delegation down to to ronto again after the board had definitely decided on this course of action i personally do not feel that a further interview would accomphsn anything but if it is your desire would you please write me suggesting a date suitable to your committee for an appoint m so it is evident that the brewers warehouse is coming to georgetown the brewers say so according to a statement made by the liquor com missioner to the deputation that wait ed on him a government that is pushing the sale of liquor among our people for the sake of revenue says so a one man liquor control board whose conception of democratic prin clples is so slight as to lead him to accept a petition which seemed to be very representative and to reject one signed by eleven hundred citizens- says so our local provincial member who expressed to the delegation in the commissioners office his deep sym pathy with temperance principles and as proof of thoes principles boasted proudly of having established five bev erage rooms in oakville and what doubting thomas could reject such giltedged proof as that he says so and some misguided people of george town who through some strange pro cess of reasoning or unreasoning have tried to persuade themselves that the more money your pour into the bot tomless coffers of the brewers the more you will have to buy bread and butter r the boys and girls they say so and who pays for the trade must live and to live must have drink ers and for every new selling centre demands more drinkers what does it matter to trade that our young men and women be shackled with the drink habit that handicaps them in the great adventure of life i what matters that the bodies of men wo men and little children are mangled and broken on our highways i the trade must live who pays you parents will pay heavily not only in the gold of the realm out in the burnished com of happiness success and purity of your boys and girls yea you pay signed on behalf of the local branch of the ontario temperance f o orerend
