The number 9 station has been manned with a staff that is second to none. They have worked for the PTO?'(‘.i(m of this community day and night and asked no favors. Now the time is here when the citizens are asked to give the utmost coâ€" Those who are exhibiting find that they must have exceptional stock in order to be placed in the money. This is the accomplishment after years of work. Those who have had the vision have looked for the day when the very best stock in the land would be brought here. In the present Fair they can see the realization of their vision. Those who have been responsible for the deâ€" tailed work and the management, certainly have scored. From the entrance door with the beautiful floral disâ€" play, through the stables, the judging rings, the main attractions in the coliseum, to the farthest pen, you will see exhibits that show class. These annual fairs have educated the people. Results are being secured because men are taught what to strive after. ‘Toronto, which has been the backbone of the Fair, certainly can point with pride to the present accomplishment, in this eentennial year, as one of her great contributions to Ontario and Canada. URING the present epidemic of stealing that is proâ€" D gressing across the city, the police are coming in for a lot of criticism. People are complaining that the men are not on the job. Others condemn the police and city officials because there are not sufficient men on the beat. Yet, how many of these same persons have made any effort to eoâ€"operate with the police forces? Have they telephoned the station when there were any suspicious characters around? Have they given the police any information about the persons that they saw hanging around the corner or on the street? Have they given leads or evidence that they knew would be of assistance in any case that has been reported * If you trace these matters, you will find that the pubâ€" lie have been very neglectful in giving the police a helping hand over the jumps. In fact they have taken the position, "it is none of my business and 1 will keep ITIZENS of Weston have placed upon them a seriâ€" C ous responsibility. They are being called upon to express an opinion in reference to Wine and Beer license in the town. They are being called upon to acâ€" cept the challenge and show the liquor interest who is interested in the youth and the people of the town. In order to secure the verdict it will be necessary that every person who has a vote makes sure that they are voting for the best interest of self and the rest of the townspeople. If the people stay at home and refuse to take their part in the campaign and the vote, there will be registered a victory for the liquor interests. If such joccurred, what would be the result? Weston would become once more a drinking centre. Some of those now in town recall the old days when Weston did hoid licenses and the hotels were a centre for hotel parties. Do you want this repeated? Do you want the conditions that existed then on the streets to beâ€" ecome once: more a feature? Do you want a repetition of the scenes enacted in many homes when the doors of the proposed beverage rooms are closed? If you are interested in the welfare of the people and the town you will take the time to fight the liquor interest. Plan to see that every voter in town is well versed on the subject. Plan to carry the fight against this devastating force to. the end. In doing this you are creating a better environment for yourself, your famâ€" ily and your friends. It will pay the citizens to study the question and then cast their vote as they see fit. Vote to prevent any license being issued in Weston for the sale of Beer or Wine. NOTHER page of achievement is being written into A the record book of the Royal Winter Fair. Never has there been such a wonderful collection of high elass stock gathered at a fair, as there has been this year. Those who have followed these events year after year claim that this year‘s exhibition, in the various elasses, surpasses everything. _ To win ribbons or awards at the 1934 show is a distinct achievement. ~Times and Guide 16 1934 DECEMBER 1934 so VOTE NO, WINE AND BEER LICENSE ROYAL WINTER FAIR EXCELLENT COâ€"OPERATING WITH POLICE 10 17 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1934 31 11 18 25 12 19 26 ELVA V.

It has been reported that the people of the Mariâ€" time provinces have forwarded to their needy fellow citizens in the drought stricken areas of the West not less than 50 car loads of foodstuffs and clothing. The collection was made @nder the direction of the United Church, which deserves all praise for the worthy and successful effort. "During the past two years the profits have not exceeded the $250,000. It is estimated that some addiâ€" tional compensation will be payable to Mr. O‘Connor under this 10 per cent provision for the ensuing year." The Post says that "Mr. O‘Connor is reported to reâ€" ceive an annual salary of $26,000 from Laura Secord and from Fanny Farmer $25,000, plus 10 per cent of the net profits of this company in excess of $250,000, but not to exceed $40,000, including the salary menâ€" tioned. The greatest demand in Britain in the case of moâ€" tor cats is for those between 8 and 9 horsepower, folâ€" lowed by those of 10, 11â€"13, 14â€"15 and 16â€"20 horseâ€" power. The rapid expansion of the British market for cars should increase the opportunities for Canadian makes. The total mumber of registered motor cars in the United Kingdom for 1934, it is expected, will reach 1,300,000 as compared with 980,886, in 1929. It is estiâ€" mated the annuai replacement demand is around 160,â€" 000 cars, which should increase in the course of a few The ownership of this company is controlled by "i'l' Frank P.

P Strong, forceful leadership‘is required from those in power to place before the people the proper ideals and to support those institutions that are for the buildâ€" ing up of the people. No government can afford to disregard the church and its membership. â€" Those peoâ€" ple are the backbone of the civilizamion. They are not aroused very quickly, but when they do become aroused, look for action. Conditions are not any too healthful for the development of a strong, healthful, virile citizenâ€" ship. Those who are interested will make their views known and the public will soon see the wisdom of their Judgment. The present government would be well ad vised to go into confere‘xce and analyze the situation. Beverage rooms need reformation. Other laws need adjustment in order to protect the youth. Only the govâ€" ernment can do this. It requires time and study. Yet, would not the government be better employed toâ€" day preparing such legislation than spending time and posts, cows running the streets, lamp lighters and fence viewers, it is actually ridiculous, amusing and pathetic to read.some of the statutes which declare, command or prohibit this, that and the other thing which became obsolete with the coming of the telephone, electricity, auto, radio, paved highways, chain and departmental stores, and aeroplanes. As a starter in extracting some of the false teeth from the supposed airâ€"tight clutches of this oid fashioned and cumbersome Municipal Act, with its loop holes and evasions aplenty, we would suggest that the searchlight of modern business efficiency be turned full blast on the assessment act, with particular attenâ€" tion to business assessments, fixed assessments and tax exemptions; qualification for municipal candidate, oath of office as affecting business men, a standard audit of municipal books, revamping of the election act, and a score of other clauses in the act which need amending or extermination.â€"Bowmanville Sthtesman. TIIERE is a great deal of talk these days about proâ€" fits and salaries. The Financial Post of Novemâ€" ber 10th tells the story of the Fanny Farmer Candy Shops. In 1933 this company‘s profits were $219,252 and for the first six month of 1934 the profit was $123,088. HEN the Hepburn Government gets through W wielding the economy axe and the pruning knife of efficiency at Queen‘s Park, we would suggest that the Premier, the Attorneyâ€"General and the Minisâ€" ter of Municipal Affairs hold a couple of conferences with the Mayors and Reeves of the towns and villages throughout the province to get some practical sugâ€" gestions from these Chief Magistrates on bringing the Municipal Act upâ€"toâ€"date. It is one bit of legislation that is as hoary and antiquated in many respects as ~andles, bustles and a yoke of oxen. A Legislation Committee sits every year to consider and make amendâ€" ments in this important act, but the changes â€" they make are not half as noticeable as the dyed hair on a sprightly spinster. e e e far. They feel that there should be different legislaâ€" tion to produce a better citizenship. | Beverage rooms are proving a serious detriment to the citizenship. Action of the deputy minister in his plain talk to the presbytery has brought, not a coâ€"operation, ~but a suspension. Other matters are being aired that have as yet received little public attention. Men and women who are interested in the main features of life are being driven to demand different action trom the presâ€" ent administration. All this shows the way the minds of the people are working. â€" They do not like the present beverage rooms and they want the youth of the country protected. energy making politic-al capital? The gov responsible to a large degree for the type of that is developed. S a government responsible for the type of citizenâ€" I ship developed? It looks as though this will be an issue that will become paramount. Efforts of those who are out defending the action of the Deputy Minister, Mr. Sorsoleil, it appears, will be‘far reaching. Latest reports show that those interested are out to arouse public opinion. They appear to feel that the present government of Ontario have gone a step too Brousing through these musty old volumes icipal law, thinking only of the many accom; and advancements of this enlightened age an wie, and forgetting the good old days of who are selling below cost without knowing where or how they received these goods. If the people will only follow these suggestions there will be less stealing and you will be giving the police force rear coâ€"operation. You will save your own goods and will also not be reâ€" quired to pay out extra taxes for your protection. Build for coâ€"operation and better protection.
