LETTERS To The Editor Of The Whig Fostering Smuggling Evil. 8ir: The country is aroused over smuggling. Our governments are fostering this evil by fostering boot- legging into Verthont and New York States. The Federal government will give clearance papers to cargoes of liquor consigned to Cuba, The re- turn trip is made in less than a day ~~just long enough to react some U.S. landing and return. ow the return trips of these dare-devil men -in many instances gun-men---are not made empty.

All the work could not be carried on entirely without lectures, and therefore the Queen's Summer School had come into being to acco- modate these students. Mr. Carr thought that some of the extention work at Queen's would be of great help to the businessmen of Kingston 3 they wished to avail themselves of A vote of thanks was moved and seconded by Rotarians Bill Coyle and Ray Vanluven.
