entirely 2 faith ne ws of the week one of the most intriguing sit ttoas in ontario which may be traced definitely to canadas declaration of war is the state of worry at queens park over the alarming decrease in the consumption of liquor by dtlsena gen erally the decrease is estimated to her as much as forty per cent during the last war public opinion was crystallised into a demand for prohibition the bars were closed the man who wanted a drink called on the doctor for a prescription this time with the sale of liquor admlhls by the ontario government there is to be no prohibition a share ot the profits goes to the credit side ot the ledger in the public accounts of the province helps a great deal to keep the governments financial show ing a favorable one thus it would be a shrewd guess to say that the sharp falling off in liquor sales since war was declared in sep tember causes grave concern to the provincial government because it cur tails revenue for the administration if one accepts this guess however premier hepburns explanation comes as somewhat of a shock in a public statement he intimates that his gov ernments chief concern in connection wit hthe drop in sales is a correspond lug increase in the manufacture of home brew and smuggling of liquor from the united states and right there the shrewd guesser has no an swer for there can be no accurate ffiebk at the moment on this alleged home manufacture nor onmhe smug gling said- to be nourishing so tossing the guesses and the gov ernments explanations aside and com tag down to fact we see an end to the increased prices for liquor which came into effect after the war budget in ottawa and the setting up of much lower prices designed to again boost the legal sale of liquor in ontario and there the matter rests until let us say next april why april because at that time dttsens may judge whether or not home manufac ture sm or some other situa tion is still keeping down the sale of liquor in spite o fthe lower prices just instituted because unless all signs fall high prices have hot been the only factor in the slackening of trade in ontarios liquor stores in the last war we had prohibition in the present conflict it is just pos sible that we in ontario may witness a form of voluntary abstinence that may stand for some tune as an inter esting episode in canadian history for in addition to the churches throughout the province which are embracing a definite movement to have individual members aostaln voluntarily from the use of liquor there is evidence to sup port the belief that thousands outside the ranks of church members and ad herents have stopped or cut down their drinking it may be that the same war psy chology that operated in the last war toward the setting up of the ontario temperance act is responsible for the present situation for example a man easily- persuades himself that with so many young fellows ready to sacrifice their lves if necessary for the coun try the least he can sacrifice is some to be leisure that the drmktag of at anyrafe a check on the sales of liquor to the next three months would prove interesting there wtil be general agreement with the statement of hon mr afcarty labor minister that at a time when britains enemies have sworn taer de struction no one in canada should be allowed to wax fat an his country a necessity no one should be permitted to make greedy gain out ot the com mon need m other words mr mc- larty was impressing on the public the fact that under the operations of the wartime prices and trade board there would be no profiteering boarding and no h enhancement in price of the necessities of life captain h m smiwe an officer of the army service corps in the last war has come forward with the novel suggestion that those desirous of send ing fresh butter to the canadian boys at the front should pack the butter in tubes like shaving cream ortuotfi paste this he claims would be much superior to forwarding the butter in cans these tubes he contends could be made from the new greaseproof paper the municipalities of ontario are gradually getting out of the red hon eric cross minister of welfare and municipal affairs announces that live years ago there were more than mc5- 000000 in municipal debentures in de fault but already arrangements have been completed for more than 1102- 000000 leaving only 260702 tc be dealt with during the coming year you may keep both dog cat 12 if yo start with both animals yoangjaatare cat an dogs and cats are the most popular pets many dog lovers detest cats and a large percentage of car owners dislike dogs but i have been sur prised after some inquiry at the num ber of people who like both dog and cat says a writer in our dumb ani mals off hand i cant think of more than a dozen acquaintances who actually keep both but i know a great many others who would do so but for the beller that it is tm or ex tremely difficult to establish compati bility between these animals donl have aggressive cat if you start with both animals when babies the thing is entirely simple and usually you can bring a puppy into a household whore there is a mature cat k depends of course on the cats disposition and specifically on her attitude toward dogs while it is not the usual thing for puss to be the aggressor occasionally she is and if you know your cat to be one of that kind dont get a dog not even a out ture one you wont be able to change that cats mind and youll have no nd of trouble rover is the aggressor generally and unless you know your dog to be exceptional in regard to cats dont get a cat take this as a rule with ex ceptions a mature cat will tolerate puppy but a mature dog is likely to injure perhaps kill a kitten every little child thats admitted to the

wasnt meant that way i al ways want to go anywhere and that doesnt mean that i am not contented where i live i just like to go i like to see new places new faces hear new voices i like to see how people live to live as much the way they do as i can and learn what they4hmk about so do you that is why columnists who used to be called penny-a- liners manage to exist we all like to mind otherpeoplefe business not in the unpleasant way mind you but because it is minding other peoples business that makes the world go round if the councillors you eject dldnt mind your business if you doht mind your employers business this world would get nowhere fast so we travel because we get ired of minding our own business and want to take a hand in minding other peo ples or at least to finding out how other people mind their business this time our travel takes us to boston which city i found out is a paradox calone it is the place where the bunker hill monument is situated on breeds hill because that is the place where the battle of bunker hid was fought it is also the place where they have monuments to paul revere wher ever mr revere did anything of any possible note and where they tell you that paul revere was not the hero of he famous ride from boston to con cord that he was just one of three riders revere dawes and pescou of whom only the lastnamed reached the objective boston is a city of yankee traders who forget all their trading instincts when it comes to helping a stranger see and appreciate their dtyj a city or traders who will stifle their new england consciences enough to do a little trading on an otherwise tight- shut sabbath when that trading is in aid or the upkeep of americas most historic church so you see it all de pends a statement that the old north church boston is americas most his toric may be challenged but to me at least it is true that may be be cause i am still steeped in its lore since i worshipped in it two days ago and you cant sit in the shadow of the steeple in which the sexton hung his warning lanterns and to face the window through which he made his escape without becoming steeped in its lore more especially when the vicar concludes his sermon with an invita tion to the congregation to have cof fee and cakes with him and his few parishioners in the parish house after the service the few parishioners as well as i could count them fitted the biblical definition you remember it of a few that is eight mostly old they were old ladies and slightly younger gentlemen who rally every sunday to show strangers the unendowed church of which they are all so fond who give time and money to its preserva tion and seem the happiest when they are showing its treasures and such treasures i had beard of the breeches bible last sunday i saw one i had never heard of the vine gar bible last sunday i saw the vinegar bible presented to the old north church by king oeorgell in which by a printers error the par able or the vineyard appears as the parable of the vinegar now you couldtt say these good parishioners are minding then- own business they minded my business they will mind yours it you visit their church in fact minding your busi ness is something that bostonlans do well and cnarmlngry in many ways for instance we went to the parker was a simple explanation of the proper way to mind other peoples business said he i spent a good manyyears running a hotel in a british colony and i know how brtlshers like their tea so now m the parker house from which you could throw a stone and hit the old south meeting house where they disguised themselves ar in dians in 1773 to go down to the har bour and throw chests of tea over board tmgntrtn are learning once again the right way to drink what used to be their favorite beverage be fore a matter of principle deprived the good citizen of the cup that cheers xtls a terrible thing when writing a piece about travellmg to make that old pun about travel having a broad- cnlnft effect but after a visit to bos ton it is hard not to do so it seems to be the desire of everyone engaged in the catering b m that city to pee that you eat at least twice as much as you feel you need helpings are generous to begin with and on top of that you are pressed to have more doughnuts another helping of boston brown bread another parker house roll some pickles to sharpen your ap petite we felt broader when we lef perhaps we looked broader but o get back to the subject of minding your own business travel la a selfish sort of thing isnt it here i am maundering on about something that concerns only me minding my own business and boring you or have i perhaps by minding your business managed to conve yto you some of my own enjoyment whose business all depends
